RE: Request for Access to Records dated December 10, 2012
Testimony on VHS tapes
MAIL DAVID
Deputy County Clerk
As you will recall, you had requested a copy of testimony, submitted in VHS tape format, as described
in your Request to Access a Government Record dated December 10, 2012. To recap and quote you,
here is your written description of your Request to Access a Government Record (see enclosed copy of
your Request to Access a Government Record as submitted to us):
" (1) One VHS video re: RE: Comm 138.24. Presented at HI Co. Council Meeting. March 21,
2001 relative to Bill #194. Original documents attached. Also, several other VHS video tape
testimonies to be converted into a DVD or some other non -obsolete format. Lastly, I'd like
copies of the same paperwork for the other tapes."
In researching your request, I located two (2) VHS tapes submitted by yourself related to
Communication 138.24 and Communication 102.18, Council term 2000-2002.
We have determined that we have sufficient record of these video-taped testimonies and have also
determined that retention of these VHS tapes by our office is no longer necessary. We would like to
return these original VHS tapes to you, at this time, in lieu of reproducing these tapes in fulfillment of
your Request for Access to Records (reference: Communication Nos. 102.18 and 138.24, 2000-2002
Council term, along its accompanying documentation, if any).
Please drop by the Office of the County Clerk, 25 Aupuni Street, Room 1402, in Hilo, to pick up your
VHS tapes. Our business hours are Monday -Friday, 7:45 am — 4:30 pm, except holidays and furlough
days. Please identify yourself at the front counter and let the staff member attending know that you have
a package to pick up. As these tapes originally belonged to you, we will return it to and there are no fees
that need to be collected.

"102.18 Subdivision Eradication Video...")
3) Copy of Communication No. 138.24, dated March 23, 2001

UPDATE:
On September 9, 2013, Mr. McNett had arranged to come in with his own
duplication equipment in order to make a duplicate of the VHS tape onto
a DVD disk which he supplied. He was first assisted by Joycelyn Iyo
and then by Donna Goodenow when Ms. Iyo had to go to lunch. Upon her
return from lunch, Ms. Iyo saw that Mr. McNett was gone along with his
equipment and that he had taken the VHS tapes with him (later confirmed
during a phone call mid-afternoon with Mr. McNett).
