Department to move ahead so at least when, if the Legislation passes and the State takes it over, at least we can start moving in the direction of facilitating a plan that at least was initially adopted at the home rule level. So, I appreciate the your efforts in coming up with an agreement that essentially gave the County an opportunity to control its own community and destiny. CASE: That's our hope,yeah. DELIMA: And I understand the Legislation's desire to carve out and utilize all of the assets available for economic development. So I guess there's a trade-off there. But I appreciate your attendance today. Thank you very much for coming. CASE: You bet. Thanks. DELIMA: Thank you. Okay,we'll call on Mr. Roehrig to make further comments. ROEHRIG: Thank you, Chair. The Land Board,under the leadership of Chair Case, formed a subcommittee about a year,year and a half ago, on the board made up of the Chair, Chris Yuen, and myself. And after that subcommittee was created by the board,we proceeded to attend the meetings of the advisory board for this agency getting set up. Those meetings generally took place at the mayor's office. There were, I can't remember how many, a fair number of meetings, and the purpose of those meetings was to set up the board, select members, five members, and to assist with the County Planning Department and the Planning Director to facilitate the Land Board, the Land Department, Land Division, moving forward and parallel with the County to support you folks because that's all State leases. And those lessees come before the board frequently. We have ongoing matters between all of these lessees. I think the Chair already just pointed that out. Some of it is right in the middle of the road, so to speak,that have not—some things have not been resolved. I think the golf course is the biggest issue. I,just from the testimony of Mr. Bushor, I think he's cooperative on the golf course. Which way it goes,whether or not the golf course is taken by force of law under your development board, or whether or not you folks make a deal with Mr. Bushor and it's all done voluntarily, I don't know the answer to that. All I know is that Mr. Bushor seemed like a pretty professional individual. He's familiar with the hotel development process. He has a large group of people that he works with around the State of Hawaii and in the mainland, so he knows his business pretty well. So I think that he'll be able to work with you folks and you'll be able to work with him. As far as where the Land Board is gonna come down on all of these issues, I think the only safe answer is it remains to be seen,but we're here to try to help. We have a wild card; legislature's in session. Lot of bills affecting this agency, affecting the board, affecting the Department of Land and Natural Resources; they're all in play right now. I guess there was some kind of a council meeting this morning discussing some of this. I'm not sure of all the content,but apparently there was testimony; rather lively testimony if I can understand what I heard on the telephone. So, I'll just leave it at that,but we are available to meet with you folks when you folks need. You got questions, you want us to come,we'll come. We're not here to get in your way. We're here to help facilitate. We help set up this board. So far you folks are doing a great job. We don't have any objections. I'd like to get to know the new Planning Director; I haven't had a chance to sit down with him yet. I'm sure that he has ideas. I think he had a meeting with Chris Yuen, but I haven't been fortunate enough to have a meeting yet,but sooner or later we will meet. I think that sums it up.
