I think that was almost a month or two ago, so like I said, we should be two or three weeks out from getting that appraisal. MS. LEE LOY: Thank you, Chair. At this time, with the request from the Finance Director and given this new information, I think it is just paramount at this point that we defer to the call of the Chair, like requested by our Finance Director.

POINDEXTER: Okay, since I was going to give the floor to Council want to ask for your support on this, you know, as reported by CNN (Cable News Network), they said that North Korea called President Trump a strangler of peace. So I guess this challenges him to embrace peace and maybe make the statement Whether he will actually get this is called Twitter and I downloaded it and I tweeted him on Twitter. Okay, I guess Ikids have a better chance of figuring that out. So I hope I did it right though on Twitter, that I hear something back from him. Page 44 -24 October 18, 2017 I definitelyI believe in peace and you know, like Mother Teresa said it very Aaron Chung, who helped draft this and asked me to be a part of it, so thank you, Aaron. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Mr. Chung. MR. CHUNG: Thank you very much for that intro, Madam Chairman. You know, there were some testifiers today, I think one spoke about using this whole controversy as being a vehicle to having a change in a party at a presidential level. talked about this being a part of the progressive program, and I think there was another one who said, maybe several people who were talking about using this as a platform to make commentary about the two principals, Kim Jong Un and President Trump, and a lot of those not intended to advance any kind of partisan types of ideas or ideals, certainly not an ideological program, and it never was intended to be used to criticize anyone. that right now. But that being said, you know, I wanted to extend a thanks to Koohan Paik who came here earlier and testified. She had reached out to both the Chairman and myself for various and sundry reasons to introduce this resolution jointly. And I have to admit that when I really thought about it at first, I mean well when Iat first blush nonbinding resolutions. You know, I had some reservations about something that we did with the Legislature, I know there was a constitutional urging about a year reservations about these types of things but this one is a little different I believe. ice out here in the middle of the Pacific and this resolution will make any difference in global send this message out from this little voice in the middle of the Pacific. right now controversy. An nuclear weapons, in my mind, it lowers the threshold for others to do the same. sday. Page 45 -24 October 18, 2017 d our thing, we will all die. So we cannot lower the threshold when we talk about the use of nuclear weapons, just cannot. So again, this is something that I really feel strongly about and I just urge everyone to support it. Thank you. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Ms. Ruggles. MS. RUGGLES: Thank you. Sometimes when I contemplate national and we can possibly do to make any difference. But I do feel that this is a step in that direction and even if we can cause one decision maker to question for one second another difference for the State and the nation in our cry for diplomacy and to avoid the horrific reality of violence and war. So I will be supporting this. Thank you. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Than : forward and I totally support this measure. I appreciate what you had to say, ge prospect, but I share the same concerns for future generations. s why everybody should take action and I continue to encourage, especially that generation of your children, the millennials, all of those who are, perhaps, not engaged in the political process because they find that it the only way to make it work on their behalf is to get involved and we do make a difference collectively, and a unified voice is very important in changing the direction that our head administrator is taking us, with regard to this particular conflict and other very sensitive issues, not only globally, but within our own country, domestic issues. Not the role model that I would want for my children and without having to speak g makes sense for the human race and for all the other species on this wonderful planet of ours. So thank you, I do support. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you, any other comments, Council Members? Page 46 -24 October 18, 2017 MS. DAVID: Thank you, Chair. I really have to say thank you, mahalo nui to Council Members Chung and Council Chair Poindexter. Although we talk about we have to try, I . I think this resolution gives, at least gives me, and I think it will have that same impact on a lot of people, that this might provide some hope that the things that Mr. Chung talks about, the bad things, the possibility of the bad things that are happening, that will not happen. think this resolution, in all seriousness, coming from this body and coming from an island I feel is so rich with true aloha in everything that we do and we try to do, I tr far away from getting our point across. But I think this means a lot to a lot of people and so I thank you all, Mr. Chung and Ms. Poindexter and Ms. Paik, and I have hopes that this will mean something to somebody. So I do support this wholeheartedly. Mahalo. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Mr. Kanuha. MR. KANUHA just a resolution, but it further enhances rea missiles word means and how it can be spread throughout this nation and world. You know, this is just further enhancing the Mlama Honua just went on all over the world and Honua simply means to care for our Honua. means to take care of and protect everything that makes up our world: land, oceans, living beings, our cultures, and our communities. It means learning from the lessons of islanders to take care of your limited resources, as though you were living on a canoe in the open ocean or an island in the middle of the sea. And their mission as they voyaged around the world, they discovered and shared stories of hope that help us understand how indigenous and local wisdom can guide us in solving some of the greatest challenges we face as a global society t peaceful resolution of love, of caring for our island Earth. So I really love this. y peaceful talk into how we get this resolution to Kim Jong Un. And if the Clerk can send thathow does that happen? Page 47 -24 October 18, 2017 ACTING CHR. EOFF: Mr. Clerk? MR. KANUHA to . . . Kim Jong Uwith everybody else, but how does that happen? ACTING CHR. EOFF: I think Mr. Chung may MR. KANUHA: I just throw that outdid you say that already? ACTING CHR. EOFF: No, he may want to answer that. MR. CHUNG: Well I mentioned yesterday, maybe Ms. Poindexter can deliver it to him personally. MS. POINDEXTER: Can I answer that? I think Council Member Chung is just trying to get rid of me. MR. CHUNG: No, but Madam Chairman, I did want to make one technical s come to my attention that Kim Jong U doneit has a hyphen everywhere else but I think just out of respect to him, if we could take that hyphen out of there. Would that be okay, Mr. Clerk? MR. HENRICKS objections from the Council, when weassuming this is adopted, which just go ahead and make that correction before we certify it. And we send it by certified mail to Mr. Kim Jong Un. MR. CHUNG: Thank you, so is that considered done already? Do we have to vote? MR. HENRICKS: It is done. MR. CHUNG: Okay. MR. HENRICKS MR. CHUNG: And really, all kidding aside though, I mean Mr. Deputy Clerk is your problem already as to how to get this thing over to North Korea, right? MR. HENRICKS: Yes, it becomes our opportunity to share this with the supreme Page 48 -24 October 18, 2017 MR. CHUNG: You know, I wanted to make oneand now we got to add some levity to this thing, I mean one of the speakers talked about establishing a sister city relationship with a town or city in North Korea. That kind of struck my funny bone because I was just thinking allconjured all kinds of things. That would probably be the most dangerous sister city trip that any Council Member ever embarked on. That one might never see somebody come back. But you countries. That would be like the neatest thing of all, I think. W of the universe if that ever happened. So maybe we can try to advance that notion ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Just let me check, were there any other comments, Council Members? Ms MS. LEE LOY, Mr. Chung. And then I really took the time to read it and it really just, like Mr. Kanuha said, talked about nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, but it kept it very focused in the lane, just one lane of There was a lot of moments today that I found through testimony, very clever actually, the sister city program, how are we going to get it to the supreme leader was another one. But all that aside, I think Mr. Kanuha summed it up best, he of the rest of my colleagues, Mr. Chung, Ms. Poindexter, thank you so much for bringing this forward to have this conversation. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Ms. Poindexter. MS. POINDEXTER: And I just like to also echo the thanks to Koohan for bringing this forward to both Council Member Chung and I. And I just want to close it by saying you know, we really need to get rid of all nuclear weapons, I think. You know, you cannot say we ca -fetched and a dream, but you know, Martin Luther King talked about the dream also and it ou and peace out. ACTING CHR. EOFF: If there are no further comments, I would just like to also say thank you to Mr. Chung and Ms. Poindexter for bringing this forward, and to Ms. Paik for encouraging them to do this, and to my fellow Council Members for all of the beautiful statements that were made just now regarding their hopes for peace. And just so the public knows, a copy of this resolution will be transmitted both to the President of the United States and Kim Jong Un of Korea, the Page 49 -24 October 18, 2017 Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, all of our Congress people, our Senators and Representatives, as well as the G County.
