CHR. HAITSUKA: In our rules we have three minutes. <br />MS. JARMAN: So, if we max out at 100 people, 100 times three is 300 minutes, divided by <br />60. That would be five hours if we have 100 people. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I'm hoping we don't have 100 people. <br />MS. JARMAN: I have sat through meetings where we have 100 people. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I guess what we could do is do three hours, and then we need some <br />travel time between Waimea and Honoka`a, and then put a little extra time in there just in <br />case the meeting runs over. So, maybe do a 9:00 a.m. and then 2:00 p.m. Although if it <br />finishes early, we will all be waiting around. <br />MS. JARMAN: I guess if we have to, we could postpone or continue the meeting to another <br />date if we actually do have that many people from one of the districts. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is that possible, Mr. Hookano? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Yes, that is possible. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: That would work. So, we want to start with Kohala on Saturday, <br />September 19, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. and then Hamakua at 1:00 p.m. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: I agree. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: So, that leaves Kona, Ka`u, and Puna. <br />MR. NAHALE -A: Mr. Chair, I have a suggestion. What if we held our Commission <br />meeting on September 11, 2009 in Kona, and then did the public hearing before or after, and <br />then allowed Hilo folks to participate from here. Then, we do Hilo and Kona at the same <br />time, but we made the physical presence in Kona. We still get the two for one benefit. If we <br />feel like Hilo needs an extra public hearing, we can always do it after another Commission <br />meeting, since we are already set up. Then we only have Puna and Ka`u left. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: I think that's a good idea. <br />MR. NAHALE -A: We would also be running a Commission meeting in Kona. Picking up <br />on Mr. Shumway's point, the Kona public might want to participate in that process as well. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I would be agreeable to that. It saves me one day of driving. Did <br />everybody get that proposal? We would hold the September 11, 2009 meeting in Kona, and <br />then have the public hearing after that meeting. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: The only thing I would add is that I may not be able to attend. <br />17 <br />
