Mr. Jon Olson, representing himself, testified on agenda items 1 and 2: #1— Report on the General <br />Plan Comprehensive Review: Mr. Olson did not like the Planning Department's presentation format <br />on the General Plan and thought that it was not useful for people who were not (from the) <br />Planning (Department). He also felt that the build out number projections displayed during the <br />presentation were unreasonably low and did not reflect reality. #2 — Response from the <br />Department of Parks and Recreation re: Permitting Farmers' Market Operations at County parks <br />and facilities: Communication No. 2017-10.1: Mr. Olson wants the Volcano Farmers' Market (at <br />Cooper Center) to be legally added to the list of public county parks which allows the operation of <br />Farmers' markets. He felt that the conception of the Volcano Farmers' Market should have had <br />the public's consent rather than a single individual or group calling on a government official to <br />grant them permissions. <br />Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Page 1 <br />
