CHR. HAITSUKA: So, everybody has to go out to Kona one way or another, either on <br />September 11, 2009 or some other time. I don't have a preference, because I live there. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: Mr. Chairman, I like Paki's idea of having the meeting in Kona followed <br />by a public hearing. As far as I'm concerned in September and October we should have one <br />in Hilo and one in Kona. We can have the public hearings after our general meeting. We <br />just do one in Hilo and one in Kona. It doesn't matter to me which. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I guess we can plan to have the next meeting in Kona, followed by a <br />district meeting. We don't know if we can get the electronic equipment, but we can plan to <br />have the meeting out there on September 11, 2009 regardless of whether we have the <br />equipment. <br />MS. HONMA: It's not absolutely necessary to have the video equipment. It's only to <br />provide that opportunity, it's not a must have. So, as long as we can get a venue, it should be <br />okay. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Right. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: Then, my idea would be the next month, the October meeting, we do it <br />here, and then we have our public hearing after it. So, there would be no need to have the <br />videoconference, we do them both with our regular meetings. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I would be agreeable to that. Is there any discussion? Let me go over <br />the tentative schedule. On September 11, 2009, we would have our regularly scheduled <br />meeting somewhere in Kona, followed by our Kona public hearing. September 19, 2009, at <br />9:00 a.m. we would have a public hearing in Kohala, in Waimea to be exact, followed by a <br />meeting at 1:00 p.m. in Hamakua. On September 26, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. we would have a <br />meeting in Ka`u, followed by a meeting in Puna at 2:00 p.m. I believe Ms. Kawauchi is <br />suggesting that we have the Ka`u meeting in Pahala instead of Na`alehu to save some driving <br />time. I don't have any objections to that. Is there any discussion on the proposed schedule <br />for the public hearings? <br />MS. JARMAN: Then, October 9, 2009 in Hilo. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Yes, Hilo would be October 9, 2009. <br />MS. JARMAN: October 9, 2009 is the 2nd Friday in October, so that would be our regularly <br />scheduled meeting. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: That is correct. Is there any more discussion on the proposed schedule <br />for the public hearings? <br />MS. JARMAN: I move that we adopt the proposed schedule laid out by Chairman Haitsuka. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Any second? <br />21 <br />
