Motion and Vote: The motion to dismiss by Mr. Robinson and seconded by Mr. Goodenow from the August 7, 2017 meeting is agreed upon. All members voted aye to dismiss the petition. 11:09 a.m. b.

Ms. Kahakalau: Going on to Petition No. 2017-08. We're in a similar situation in that it's the same petitioner. Mr. Adams: Correct...same petitioner different respondent. Ms. Kahakalau: Yes...who is not here and therefore...yeah go ahead. Mr. Goodenow: Oh I'm sorry Madame Chair I think though in this one maybe we didn't have a pending motion...we just continued it...So I would move to dismiss at this time. Ms. Kahakalau: Alright do we have a second? Mr. Robinson: I would second. Ms. Kahakalau: Okay thank you. Same...opportunity again if the respondent would like to say anything...you're more than welcome to come...seeing that that's not the case...are there any other...is there any other discussion? Mr. Robinson: Madame Chair if I could...in addition to everyone's time here...Mr. Murai flies from Maui...we incur the expenses...uses up his entire day...it's you know...that just bothers me. Ms. Kahakalau: I agree and maybe perhaps as we're looking at you know our...guidelines and looking at policies and looking at the...code that we need to abide by that maybe we could look into you know the fact that when petitions are made that are already you know not really substantive in any way...and when there is ongoing waste really of the tax payers not just time but also money...that they could be some kind of ramification...I'm not too sure if that's even 5
