important and I think...honestly I think that's the biggest issue <br /> here...if public officials are required to disclose <br /> income....specifically because there could be conflict of interest in <br /> various matters if they don't do it and then they get called on by <br /> reporters and they insist that...nope they've never had even a <br /> thousand dollars in income on this property in years...I find that <br /> very difficult to believe and records around GE and tax <br /> filings...State and federal income tax filings would show whether <br /> or not that statement is true...as a co-owner of vacation rental...as <br /> I put in my letter...you know even at seventy-nine dollars a <br /> night...we brought in more than a thousand dollars in the first <br /> month so I find it very difficult to believe that in a very high <br /> demand...you know unit at the Kona Islander Inn...that she's <br /> never taken in a thousand dollars in rental income in years...I find <br /> that very difficult to believe so I think it's critical that she explains <br /> that and provides independent verifiable proof to substantiate what <br /> she's saying regarding that....thank you. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you Mr. Guzman...do we have any questions?...Mr. <br /> Goodenow? <br /> Mr. Goodenow: You know it's a little unusual...normally we have petitions <br /> right...petitions are put on the agenda...you sent kind of a <br /> letter...communication asking us to investigate...which...is <br /> fine...my concern though is the Sunshine Law...this is listed as <br /> communication...if we were to say...yeah let's investigate and <br /> let's have a vote on that...would we be precluded from doing that <br /> because of the Sunshine Law would we have to agendize this in a <br /> subsequent meeting...maybe we could make the motion but <br /> couldn't vote...you know and would there be fair notice to...Ms. <br /> Eoff in a sense because even though she's here...she has her own <br /> petition...that does relate to the conflict of interest...but the issue <br /> of the financial disclosure form...really isn't addressed in her <br /> petition necessarily so that's kind of..something additional and if <br /> we were to take action...I'm a little concerned about...proper <br /> notice... <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Okay...you're asking me a question...okay...thank you Mr. <br /> Goodenow...so you make good points...so first of all notice...due <br /> process so...you're right that...Ms. Eoff would have to have <br /> proper notice...enough time to prepare a response right...in terms <br /> of the conflict of interest...we're already here with her petition so <br /> 16 <br />
