WHITMORE: Thank you, Chair. I'm Ron Whitmore. I'm the Deputy Director of the <br />Department of Research and Development with the County. Here today on behalf of the <br />Planning Director because I was the Project Manager for the Ka`u CDP as it was going through <br />its development process. I want to thank the Director, thank the Commissioners, counsel, staff <br />for this opportunity. I also want to thank folks who I see here today from Ka`u. It was a <br />tremendous pleasure for me working with the people of Ka`u and supporting development of this <br />plan, and many of my favorite people and friends from Ka`u are here today so appreciate you <br />guys coming out. <br />Just so I'm clear on the protocol as well as for the Steering Committee members, this meeting is <br />agendized as well as a Steering Committee meeting.

There's not quorum, but there's more than two. <br />They're gonna confirm, but I, it's my understanding that it is agendized as a Steering Committee <br />meeting which allows them both to testify and to respond to any questions the Commissioners <br />may have during discussion. Is that correct? Okay. <br />HENKEL: Ron, excuse me, I don't see that on the agenda. It's a Sunshine Law issue, though, <br />right? Maybe <br />HALL: —It's fine. As long as they're not talking to each other. You guys can ask them <br />questions. They're just members of the public first of all, and then after that, as long asI really <br />know how to explain this properly <br />SELF (from audience): They're going to check and see because they are not supposed to <br />HALL: Oh, okay. <br />WHITMORE: Oh, these folks can probably answer that question. [Referring to Leana Gloor <br />and Keiko Mercado who entered the room.] <br />SELF (from audience): They can't have a discussion if <br />WHITMORE: Keiko— <br />HENKEL: Amongst themselves <br />EXHIBIT C <br />2 <br />
