The next up for the document would be after your recommendation is made, it would be <br />forwarded to the County Council for review and decisions. That concludes my presentation. <br />CLARKSON: Thank you very much. Commissioners, are there any specific questions for <br />Ms. Morrison? If not, at this time—thank you, Bethany—we'll begin with public testimony. <br />Before I do that, though, for the record, I would like to note that I talked to Commissioner <br />Aguinaldo, and he has had a chance and has read the transcript from the April 12' meeting. <br />At this time, we're going to begin our public testimony. We have 20 signed up. We're going to <br />limit testimony to three minutes a piece except perhaps for Steering Committee members, who <br />I'm going to ask come up first and give the Commission their reactions to the final draft CDP <br />and then we'll proceed with general public testimony. If you haven't signed up already, please <br />do so, if you intend to testify, please do so near the front door. <br />So, at this time, I'd like to ask however many of the Steering Committee are present and wish to <br />testify to please come forward and take a seat at the table in front of the Commission. Two of <br />you? Would you raise your right hands, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this <br />matter before the Planning Commission? <br />KUROKAWA/GOMES: I do. <br />CLARKSON: Thank you. <br />GOMES: Good morning, Windward Planning Commission. Farrah -Marie Gomes, Vice -Chair <br />for the Hamakua Community Development Plan Steering Committee. I do not have additional <br />testimony to provide today. I do want to say that I need to leave at 12:30, so if there are any <br />questions of this Planning Commission, I would be more than happy to answer them at this time. <br />KUROKAWA: I'm Brad, Brad—is it on? Brad Kurokawa, Chair of the Steering Committee, <br />and not a whole lot to add. Most of you were present at the last Planning Commission meeting, <br />and I'd just like to say just to reiterate that I'm really proud of the Steering Committee and the <br />Planning Department and the process that we went through. It was a very thorough and <br />transparent one, and we listened. I think we listened to the community's voices, and have put <br />forth a draft that we hope that you will move ahead. It's been a long haul of over nine years, and <br />we're ready to get on with implementation. So, again, thank you very much for your <br />opportunity, the opportunity to testify. Thank you. <br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Are there any specific questions for these testifiers? No? Okay, <br />thank you. Be seated. At this time, I would like to call up the first four members of the public to <br />testify. Steven Shropshire, Dwight Vicente, Michael Johnson, and David Longacre. Once again, <br />please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the <br />Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do/yes. [Mr. Vicente did not respond.] <br />EXHIBIT D <br />9 <br />
