MS. JARMAN: It would save time and take advantage of the technology we have. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: I have another question. What is the anticipated length of the public <br />hearings? Is it hard to predict, or do we have an idea of how long they might take? The <br />reason I'm asking the question is if there is a proposal to do two a day, we would need to <br />know that. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I was hoping Mr. Fuertes could answer that because he's been on a prior <br />Commission. I don't think any of us have that prior experience. Mr. Kealoha. <br />MR. KEALHOA: I noticed for Kohala you have Waimea Civic Center. Are we combining <br />North and South Kohala? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Yes, it is within the geographical district of Kohala, I believe. So, it <br />would be an acceptable place, I believe. <br />MR. KEALHOA: Normally, we are South Kohala, and then there is North Kohala. I don't <br />see any meetings scheduled for North Kohala. Are we just using Waimea then? <br />MS. EOFF: I believe these are the six geographical districts that we must go to, but Waimea <br />and North and South Kohala would all be within the same geographical district. We could <br />choose a different location for the meeting. <br />MR. KEALHOA: I represent South Kohala and David Fuertes represents North Kohala. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: The Charter itself, Section 15 -3, is not specific, it just says Kohala. So <br />they lump all of you guys together, sorry. <br />MR. KEALHOA: That's fine with me, I was just letting you guys know. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Is one idea that we try to have all of the public hearings in each of the <br />geographical areas within one month, in the month of September? If that's the case, I don't <br />think there is an easy way to do it, except to just choose some dates and see if people are <br />available. Do you think that's alright, Mr. Chair? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I think so. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: I'm trying to open this for discussion. Is there a feeling that weekends <br />are not a good idea, and we should try to schedule them during the week? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I think we might have a soccer coach or two here so - -- <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: That means that it would be a weekday. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: But, if there are enough of us available on the weekends then perhaps <br />we can have some on the weekends. <br />12 <br />
