MR. KEALHOA: I won't be available. MS. KAWAUCHI: Mr. Chair, I have a Friday Court ordered settlement conference, and again, sometimes they carry over to the next day; although rarely. I just have to say that it is possible the Court may order us back on the following Saturday, I cannot tell. CHR. HAITSUKA: You better work hard to settle that case then. MS. KAWAUCHI: I don't know what to say about that. I'm not sure what the judge will require. CHR. HAITSUKA: So, you might not be here, and Joe won't be here. But, it looks like Todd, Susie, and Alapaki will be available. So why don't we look at Puna and Ka`u for Saturday, September 26, 2009, and again, at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. What is easier for everyone? Do you want to start from the farthest, Ka`u first? Ka`u at 9:00 a.m. and Puna at 1:00 p.m. That is kind of a far drive though. MS. JARMAN: That would be at least an hour drive. Actually, it's more than that, it's about 45 minutes from Na`alehu to Volcano, and then it's another 45 minutes to get down to Pahoa. So we might have to start it at 2:00 p.m. CHR. HAITSUKA: So, 9:00 a.m. on September 26, 2009 at Ka`u, and 2:00 p.m. at Puna. That leaves Kona re- schedule Hilo. If we're going to do Kona on Friday, September 11, 2009, we will have to Or, if we can do both on the same day, that would be fine. Let's take a break, look into it, and reconvene. We'll take a 10- minute break. RECESS RECONVENE At 2:31 p.m., the Chair called for a 10- minute recess. The meeting was reconvened at 2:45 p.m. CHR. HAITSUKA: Alright, let's reconvene. Ms. Kawauchi. MS. KAWAUCHI: For our October meeting, would it be possible to combine that October meeting as a geographic meeting as well as a regular Commission meeting? What we could do, is for the September 11, 2009 meeting, have a geographic meeting in Kona and have a regular meeting in Kona. Then, if we still need to have a meeting for Hilo to satisfy the geographic area requirement, we could have the October meeting start with the geographic meeting and have the regular Commission meeting follow. That would take care of those two. CHR. HAITSUKA: I think that is one of the considerations. We have Ms. Eoff She was going to let us know the cost and availability of using the Sheraton. 19
