Mr. Goodenow: Did Mr. Hyland ask to be excused or did he send any message as <br /> to his whereabouts? <br /> Ms. Sweeney: Chair...I do have some information from a testifier...last week Mr. <br /> Hyland fell and broke his hip and I believe they were gonna ship <br /> him to Oahu...that's not confirmed by me so that's the only <br /> information I can offer. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: In any event...then I suggest maybe we should move to continue <br /> this matter...I mean I don't know out of fairness to the...people <br /> who are here....but... <br /> Mr. Murai: If I may Madame Chair...I was copied on some of the <br /> correspondence that Mr. Hyland was exchanging with the board <br /> secretary and the last communication I saw indicated that he would <br /> be appearing in Kohala...remotely by video and he was the one to <br /> make sure that the connection was setup...if the board has not <br /> received any request to continue...then...of course it's up to the <br /> board how it wishes to proceed...but...at any rate...if the board <br /> wishes to proceed...well I leave it to the board whether it wants to <br /> continue or to call the matter. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you very much. I would say in general...when a petitioner <br /> isn't there...it is sort of their responsibility to inform us...unless <br /> this happened last night you know kind of thing and he really <br /> couldn't do it...I'm not too sure when the accident occurred and <br /> we truly are sorry about the accident. One of the issues is that we <br /> have special counsel flying in all the way from Maui at a cost of <br /> the County i.e. myself as a tax payer...so I think that's one thing <br /> that we should think about as well. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: I don't know if...I didn't make a motion...where are we on...are <br /> we on discussion? <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Right now we're...I'm looking for a motion...I'm kind of <br /> entertaining... <br /> Mr. Goodenow: I won't make it yet but I...I feel maybe...you know if I read what <br /> the petitioner has put....right there's no doubt in my mind <br /> that...these are not violations...I mean...even if I...although I <br /> thought it might be a waste of time...the fact that he's not here <br /> maybe to supplement it for reasons beyond his control...the only <br /> thing is if he comes back...I guess he could refile and then we're <br /> all back here again...I just don't know if the person has any more <br /> information as to his...if he's currently...I mean...in the <br /> hospital...or...that's just my...I have a hesitation because are we <br /> 3 <br />
