SANTANGELO: Jim? <br />• OTTERSON: Yes. <br />SANTANGELO: You come all the way from Oceanview, and what we've incorporated may <br />not be exactly what you want, but you've been heard and it's been obvious that you've been <br />dedicated to this. This is not your first time here. This is about your fourth time? Or fifth? <br />IRVINE: Sixth. <br />SANTANGELO: Sixth time. <br />OTTERSON: I've been to some of the other ones that you haven't been to. See, I'm <br />more — <br />SANTANGELO: I've been here every time. <br />OTTERSON: Yes, but the other places you haven't. See, John? <br />IRVINE: Kona. Were you in Kona? <br />OTTERSON: Pardon? <br />• RAY: Okay. Let's move on. <br />SANTANGELO: I was trying to be nice, but never mind. Thanks for being here, Jim. <br />• <br />OTTERSON: Okay. Another thing. This county, this island, the whole works, is going to <br />grow. It's really getting ready to take hold. But if you don't have somebody in there that can <br />head it in the right direction, you're going to end up with a hell of a mess. That's it. <br />RAY: Okay, thank you. Curtis Tyler. Patrick, you're next up. <br />TYLER: Good afternoon Mr. Chair, members of the Commission. Thank you for this <br />opportunity to testify again before you. I want to begin by thanking you again for your hard <br />work, your perseverance, and your dedication to hearing the public and responding in the ways <br />that you believe are important for this County, present and future generations. I also want to <br />thank you especially for the deletions of some of the proposals. As I spoke to you last time <br />when you were in Waimea, I indicated that too many will create a lot of confusion, so I think the <br />elimination of these items — the deletion, excuse me, of your original slate makes a lot of sense <br />and I want to commend you for revisiting these and for the courage to listen to the people <br />regarding their concerns about at least half of those. I wanted to comment on some of those <br />amendments which were approved as proposals for the ballot, just very briefly. Oh, and I also <br />want to thank you, Chairman Ray, for sending a personal letter to each of the Council <br />members, as I assume you did, and also to the Chair. I received one from you and I got one <br />from Mr. Arakaki. Thank you for summarizing. That's always nice to have an Executive <br />Summary, especially when you left your file back in Kona. <br />6 <br />
