when you maurice go for being selected as a whole kelly award two thousand thank you everybody this is really quite humbling you know honest thinking about all that's gone on in the past couple decades now you know when i was growing up i had no idea what a nonprofit was and then twenty six years ago i had no idea i would like what i was getting into and you know here i am today and i'm being honored on top of all of that is just it's  unbelievable and it makes me think of that phrase you know it takes a village to raise a child well it really took a village for me to get to this point and i really want to create at that village very briefly  certainly my family my husband who make sure we eat literally he does he's the cook so he really had to give a lot for me to do everything i do here and then my family my my two children who make me crazy but keep me sane and keep me honest at the same time and then you know the extended family you know like the mall the noddles who took care of cannot do it without their blessing and their support and i am very very lucky to have all of them and then i can't say enough about our staff who just are incredibly dedicated as are all steps of non profits but some of them i hear today and you just can't do it alone you can't reach fifteen thousand people a year with me i mean just you just can't it makes me think that that cell phone commercial you know where they have that one person and they span out and there's all those people behind him that's how it really really is i mean it is an army of people and i'm really honored to represent all of that  effort here today and finally to all of you thank you very much for being part of nurturing me we may not have always like greed and sometimes we thoroughly agreed with each other but your sentiments your comments really made me think and every bit of it has helped me grow as a person and as hitting the non our economic development boards so i really really think all of you for the time you spend with me and have spent with me you know i mean at this point i can't wait to see what i'm like when i grow up i mean it's been a great journey and i think you very much for this honor and did see something correctly you know i've known her for more years than i want to count all these great gotten old she still looks the same i swear to god you know she hasn't grown up and physically and every which way but keep it up because term beginning january second two thousand and seven and whereas during her tenure marriage of ours contributed to

lead the state in renewable energy systems through wind power working groups which were heralded by the federal national energy lab as one of the nation's most comprehensive and aggressive county energy plans exceeding state energy goals and whereas m ours contributed to the protection and preservation of the county's natural resources by ensuring funding support for the protection of

built to meet the needs of local law enforcement and where as where to virus created the play and learned sessions also known as pal this program of the department of parks and recreation during her tenure as the department's director in one thousand nine hundred which continues to support the needs of families by providing services to ensure the safety net for those with critical needs and whereas america virus recognize that our community benefited from public transportation to get to work school and appointments and increased public transportation by adding eighteen more buses and preparing a transportation expansion plan that is no two years ahead of governor of hawaii the county's delegation to the state legislature and the state of hawaii's delegation to the united states congress thank you very much mr chairman today we recognize an outstanding public servant to certainly leaves a legacy of accomplishment says parks director council member and mayor she comes from a family that has played such a big role in mali county being the special place that it is and she certainly served our county honorably and mollie county has benefited from her services and you know working with her when she was on the council one thing i've always admired about her was how she kept her cool and professionalism under some very difficult circumstances that we've had to deal with on the council and i certainly want to wish her the best in her future and we're all looking forward to that much needed bowling center on maui and hopefully gets here real soon and you know although we may have had our political disagreements one thing will never change f the utmost respect that i have for her and what she has accomplished and of course her family and so keeping in line with the tradition of the virus they can see of accomplishments you know  don't be a stranger and still stay involved in being a part of our community thank you chairman thank you members for the discussion thank you very much  opportunity to know her dad and to work with him before i got here on the council when i was at emil and enjoyed him and met the virus has always been a longtime friend i've known her and her family most of my life know her mother know her her sisters her brother and they are very important family in the country area not only because of their political leadership but also because of their being a part of our community i don't think there's a soul who lives up country for any length of having some fun in vegas and maybe the bowling center will finally see that she will do very well and charmaine thank you very much for your years of service to mo county and all the best in the future by so ms johnson yes i too would like to add my thanks to our charmaine and also to her family because i know her mother you know is very proud of her but it also requires a certain degree of sacrifice on the part of her loved ones to really share their family with the rest of the community and one thing you learn about being a public official there is no shortage of criticism that is part of the territory and that will always be a part of it because unfortunately these are challenging times for all of us it is not easy and there are many families struggling not just here in maui but throughout the nation and throughout the world and i think that one of the things that i've really been very pleased with is the relationship of the economic development sector where we have done outreach to the philippines to china to other areas that really show us that we are connected to a much bigger economy and a much bigger role throughout the whole world so maui is a wonderful place and i believe that she has done the best that she could do given the circumstances that we all have faced and i know our council has struggled with many of the same things and i know that the next council will continue to do the same but aloha and godspeed charmayne and i wish you all the best in any future endeavor thank you thank you musicians in the appreciate so looking forward i hope you the best and i know that you'll never be able left out of this kind of involvement because it's part of your inheritance it's part of your gene makeup so therefore we expect you to be  wonderful mother and i see many of the people that served with you during this last administration but today what is so fitting is that we have three women being honored today unprecedented and for me it's like i don't speak much but today i will because chimey you've always been my friend  campaign against your father vigorously but for you this this last election and the things that i saw the things that i saw testify against you just brought to me they respect in which you handled the criticism all of us know that it was the economic times that caused many of the criticisms to be thrown at you and for you to take that say respond but you didn't that says much about who you are and your character you know the humility thinking that perhaps  people know better than to blame you for everything finally on the lights like no mr chairman thank you for being the leader in alternative transportation because of the buses you've made molly county and its people use that motor chance petition and taken off off the highway as we drive on the street on a more lighter note and humorous no because of my circumstances personal and so you know again thank you for allowing me in my public service to be able to come to work because of the bus transportation but all in all so i mean you know i was i was talking to me and somebody sets me on the back of my shoulder today and i look at where you are that's that's where you are you know or gentle and always humility always smiling thank you for that and thank you for your friendship in ending  members of the general public so i mean you know with every ending i was thinking about this for myself personally you know that means that that part of my life  then the next day is like a new beginning you know and what better place to have a new beginning then here in the wee county so to you your cabinet  i mean not see thank you for your service you know not only in government but you know you were also in the order of where in the educational area you know where you served also but it was all a lot of public service and those of you in your care and your cabinet that may be leaving because they are part of you show me good luck to all of you may you and i be fought portugese he's got at some point you someplace in him and you didn't see everything recently so you said thank you very much you left me a few items first of all meant to me it's been honored to serve with you it's been honored to sit in the same seat in the same location that you said for ten years unfortunately the bad news is i got to move next year i have someone who has and moving me in some way to move up the chain i'm not sure that's good or bad but i'm moving chain most importantly you have not only to this resolution demonstrated your commitment your heart your desire to make m did those didn't agree would you do those who thought you weren't doing the right thing it was a matter of opinion and your heart of hearts you believed you were doing the right thing for the people and you did it i've been on it to know and like you and like your father you followed in the footsteps so mom the cheese the apple didn't fall far from the tree misses the virus your daughter has been a very very strong example of what your husband wants and i was honored to have the opportunity to have worked with him on a few things i never forgot i always tell this story when i was a first came to maui one hundred seventy  five i and for others had won an opportunity to attend a deck a conference in orlando florida for guys from maui we have enough money to go anyway couldn't get to honolulu you know we all young working guys and we had no experience that was they not only put their their reputations behind of us they also made sure that the monies we needed to get there was available and i never forgot that and can never forget that and that gave this young man along with three the good lord closes one door but always opens another one it's the bowling alley what are its being care of mom making sure that she's got the things she needs taking care of gary the you're the rest of the family they don't want to ever admit that but you are there taking care of them at all your cabinet members and all your administration and all you that have supported you for the past four years i wish them all still the best of luck and all those doors that have pools others will open up for them and i know i will see them around i said once again it's not a law it's a whole you'll until we see you we meet again the chair would also like to share my appreciation not only to a man but to a friend and i'd like to reiterate some of the words just so that we all can let it sink in commitment included advocating for and protecting the environment especially addressing renewable energy sources for our county they said ministration  ours contributed to protection and the preservation of our county's natural resources our mare ensured that our police our firefighters and our water safety officers receive the best training and equipment possible to protect all of us army air created the palace program some of our own kids are involved still in it and this was a major commitment and a major move for molly colony to take care of our keiki her commitment to public transportation provided an incredible opportunity for mobility in our county and in addition more recently our mayor's effort and her commitment to travel to on a on a very burdensome schedule to lobby our state legislative leaders for the th the funds for this county proved successful our mayor has been busy a mayor has been productive and i for one appreciate your effort it's difficult for me to say aloha because i'll be losing one of my best and probably my only dance partners communities water system failed she was there when our community had to deal with major brush fires that assume more than a thousand acres the mayor was there and when ranch chose to leave and abandon our community the mayor was there it's difficult for me but thank you my friend and m members further discussion all those in favor of the motion to adopt a resolution entitled expression expressing appreciation everyone and a great big mahalo to you all it's it's very true or you're saying about opportunities and doors and all i kind of stuff and a lot times of people are going through a period of time where you don't know what the future holds some of those little sayings mean nothing they try to make me feel good but you know it's not making me feel good isn't usually the reaction but because i'm now at that age where i can look back and kind of review by what's happened to me in my life it is very true and it  was actually my mother back when i applied for a job when i was just had started teaching and it was this great federal program that i really believed in it was called model cities for those of you who are old enough to remember  cities and i had an opportunity and this is on a walk to work in this program as director and it was an elementary school program to demonstrate the effectiveness of having specialty physical education teachers elementary specialist teaching physical education to the youngsters rather than the classroom teacher and i often had because i was background i was physical education teacher looked at these elementary schools and seen elementary school teachers with their umbrellas and their high heels watching the kids play that is not physical education so used to grate on me so there was an opportunity at that time senator akaka was in the deal he and i had to interview with this committee and i didn't get the job and i was crushed because there were only two people at that time in the state of hawaii who had elements of physically good physical education background the person they hired had no physical education background and i was bitter i was mad you know  boy networks still alive it's going to i'm not a guy i'm not only enough i'm not i don't know the right people i was very bitter about that and i thought i was living at home because in those days i look back the other day because i know going to draw so security right great my my salary as a beginning teacher was four hundred forty four dollars a month back then so you know how old i am right but my mom you know heard me grumbling at home and all of this kind of stuff and she says you know no matter what happens there's a reason why it happens even if it brings you a lot of pain so every opportunity is just that an opportunity and you will learn something from it if you don't don't learn something from it you have missed the opportunity and that has stayed with me my entire life and it was like to go with the flow that's what you got to do and especially to the wonderful people who have worked with me these past four years where there is so much uncertainty about what is in your future because i'm probably the oldest one in my administration so there's a lot of younger people in my administration who are wonderful and i thank all of you for working with me because it was the team that helped bring us through this very difficult time it wasn't one individual and certainly was just not one person and you know judy talked about that it's the support system around you it's your family and i think my mother and my dad my brother my sister for all the support that they've given me i don't cook i don't clean house i do wash my own clothes but my mother hangs it because i wash clothes and been night stuff like that but without that kind of support i could not be half the person i am today and i can look back and say life has been so wonderful to me it's been great if i had not sought public office back when when i was going to retire after so many years of service all i had to do was be old enough at the wait a few months and some folks talked me into running i had no plan to run for office i saw what happened to my dad i saw what happened to the family while my dad was serving and i said that's not for me no thank you but you just never know so i finally said ok people want me that's fine i'll serve and that's when it started if i hadn't gotten into that council seat where mr victory  i would not have met thousands of people that i know today and all of those people have impacted me in some way or another and i am actually truly truly blessed and grateful that i've had the opportunity to meet so many people not just here in this arena but in the bigger arena of the county in the bigger arena of the state of the country and of the world there's so much out there for all of us to look forward to so while we're in that time right now or any time where you don't know what's going to happen to you you have to trust first of all you have to trust  yourself you have to believe you are a person of worth and that somewhere there is a place for you and one of the most humbling experiences i ever had in my life was being the athletic director at mile high school sounds great i was one of the first in the state of hawaii females and yeah that's a lot of director ron do you know what the athletic directors do in a school actually they're not sitting in front of t v cameras and working out brackets for the next tournament invitational you're in the locker room you are cleaning toilets you are scrubbing down wrestling  you are wiping up whatever somebody's leftover it's not a glamorous job in that aspect but it's something that needs to be done and if it needs to be done you do it no matter what it is the other thing my parents also taught me was there is no such thing as dishonorable work unless you are breaking the law every job is honorable no matter what it is so i came from a family that had very good values and that's what made me what i am today and i don't know what i would have done without my family and i think that's the reason that i pay attention to what families go through the reason that the powells program was so important to me so that children would have a safe place to be while their parent or parents are working or not able to be with them so it's very very important to me so is it my glee my greatest claim to fame my most proudest accomplishment is the establishment of that play and learn sessions the pal's program in the parks department all of these other accomplishments i think you know with the kind of people we have in mali county we would have gotten there somewhere at some point and i was very grateful that we went forward with implementing our post public transportation system we needed that for everybody not just for mr shiki we did it for everybody but if you have not been on the bus or taken the bus anywhere the molly bus you need center in la and i walk across the street and catch the ferry and go to alumni and i do that and come back that way and it is a wonderful experience to ride the bus so if you haven't ridden the bus please do it is great we have a really great system and it's going and it's going to grow more and more next year by this time next year or even a few months earlier we will have our first double decker bus and that is going to be something for all of us and i'm sure we'll have lots of people riding it just for the sightseeing i think it's going to be on the key here route because we've got to fix the we have to have the state fix some little roads before we can use it for the line the route it will fit through the tunnel it just has to you know it'll fit through the tunnel it's this bridge over here or a little bridge that is the problem it will fit through there but they have to drive the bus in the middle of the road that it's not too safe but any way that things like that where we know those come up every single day there is always something and we get caught up in the minutia of a problem that's a minor problem and sometimes we forget to look at the big picture you have always got to force yourself to look at the greater picture what is best for a number of people not just for one person but for a number of people for our community what's best for them and i feel so privileged to have had this honor to serve you all of these years  i have gotten all a whole lot more from the community from you folks especially i've worked with all of you except for you mr victory you know because we couldn't both sit in that seat but you know the balance of people you are my colleagues you're my friends and danny when i get that thing built in that restaurant we're going to have the banana vanilla pancakes just for you and any time you dance partner call me got so we'll give dance lessons to any other elected officials i'm not a great dance instructor but i know enough besides a two step and you folks got to dance your way through your careers i tell you got to do that excellent dancer so it helps that does help but thank you for this opportunity i think all of the people in the county of mali for this opportunity to have served for these fourteen years and it's been just figured out it's been forty one years of public service all the time i started started at the city kind of honolulu and parks and recreation and then i went into education and then i came back to recreation than up there so i've had a great life a wonderful one and if you'll indulge me mr chard like to ask my mom to come up here with me dabbed was large loomed large physically and verbally and everything and people just can't help love the guy so to share him a lot with thousands of depressed that we never saw my dad it was that he doesn't have a semi more we want to run away and go someplace else we're serious we're serious our little package was packed already but my mother has been the foundation for our family she has kept everyone together and supported us very selflessly and i wish everyone could have a mother like mine and i am so very very fortunate and so i wanted to start to thank you publicly for being my mother acknowledge what they say and it makes them feel comfortable here and it's a skill and something that you've done that has really helped so many people in expressing themselves at the council and i want to recognize mahalo as well for the ten years of service there i do know that you are the one non hawaiian born person on this council and like myself there's many non hawaiian born people in this  county and you directorate represent us very well so i'm honored to to have you there so thank you chair for the opportunity to speak and thank you joanne for so many years of service member

county of mali and the state of hawaii and that certified copies of this resolution be transmitted the colonies delegation to the state legislature and the state of hawaii's delegation to the united states congress thank you mr will you know thank you very much mr chairman it gives me great pleasure to introduce this resolution on your behalf and today we honor our colleague from west molly ms johnson and you know it's so funny me and her been on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to going to came to certain issues on the council but yet we're somehow joined at the hip and i say that because we each ran our first elections in one thousand nine hundred eight and we both loss and then we want our next five elections after that and then here we are in two thousand and ten we leave this council the same time and we've certainly had a lot of wonderful conversations and adventures joined and i certainly many people certainly appreciate your passion for the culture and the environment and even though you may not be here from hawaii you are certainly how why and at heart join and we wish you the best and of course when when when jim was here we certainly enjoyed jim's company and he was such a fantastic person like you so i can see to you joy in his you know the experience working with you was certainly memorable and will be cherished and i wish you the best of luck in your future thank you know way before i came to the u n because i had come many many times to talk with her about issues you know that were important to me you know and i also got to know jim because of that because he would be doing the office and i really used to enjoy sitting down to talk with him such an intelligent gracious gentleman and i missed him a lot when he was in your office anymore for the four years since i've been on the  has been on my left foot and when i turn know it's going to be funny not to have her there because there's been many times when joanne and i have shared a joke and i think chere knows that sometimes we find a good one and we can't help ourselves it kind of relieves the stress to you know kind of giggle with each other also you gentlemen on the council don't know this but because we're the minority we sometimes are having a good joke at your expense joanne is fearless woman i admire her because when she has a position she'll go to the wall for it and she'll fight for it and she doesn't care if she's the only person she's not a wimp and just enough for what she believes and frequently she wins because of that she's been a good role model for me when her husband needed care i admire faithfulness she was there on to the end and many days when she would come to work in the morning i'd see the tired look in her eyes and she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open because she'd been up all night caregiving but she never complained and never wavered from her support of her husband and duran i really admire you for that it's not

some momentos from  after he passed and again thank you for your dedication to the people of my we county again thank you for your friendship and god bless you and have a nice safe cheer thank although sometimes you miss johnson i felt i was a little bit mean to you my heart always was all to you and what you did and what you believed for and what  have had the honor of working with probably three ladies you on my lovely wife who are very focused who care so much about their families and their community yourself miss anderson of course missed by so i don't know what you mean by minority because you women control everything that's been a fact all along thank you i learned death a long time ago and i still try to rebuild every so often but i seem to lose those battles ok i accept that as being what it is mister but you know your service to this community your dedication to your late husband jim and i remember when i first came used to always talk about how he gets so excited to watching on t v and how you'd look forward to the games when they were televised and you know how he followed everything and he would talk about when i get a chance to see him he'd be talking about shane and he did i know he was watching and i think he still watching today along with my in laws and my mother they watch him every day whenever  there protecting him and giving him the extra strength something he needs so we'll see jim i miss you but i know in our heart you do every day you'll be heading off to the mean and and to visit family and friends i don't know why you go to

distant future because i know you'll be here to help us to give your money now your love has had one of the most i guess stubbornness representatives and a real lawyer who died this woman fought for projects for improvements and for funding especially for her district you made sure that the people in west molly was taking cared of and sometimes you stood by yourself and sometimes you did not but the fact that you stood your ground and you did your job deal and you know you've raised the bar you've made it work and i am just so happy to have had the opportunity for the last number of years to to work with you the representative that will come after you have a large shoes to fill because of your sheer tenacity and commitment to not only the people of west molly but to the people of mali county so safe journey my friend thank thank you members for this question all those in favor of the motion to adopt your resolution entitled expressing appreciation to council member joanne johnson signify by saying i write those opposed say no motion is carried with seven i two members excused mr past there is so much to be learned there is so much of life to be experienced and much like what member bice ahead it's bittersweet you know one door closes another one opens but i will always think back to the days when i stood with at lindsay not to put on maui we stood on the side of the roadway in la you know when we were fighting massive development at north and i remember that because that is where it all begins it starts with passion it starts with the love of your community it starts with an appreciation for what you have and even though i am not born and raised here in the state of hawaii or maui because i love maui i just felt that i have been embraced by the people they have adopted me and i have never felt surrounded by so many relatives and so many ohana as i do being surrounded by all of you and particularly to my constituents because when they stop me in the grocery store i may not remember their name i may not even have met the individual before but it is so gratifying to know that they care not just about what i do but about what each one of us here who is in an elected office in a position of responsibility you hold their very lives in your hand when you make a vote on something it has ripple effects that go far beyond many times even my w county they affect people's lives every decision that you make is so critical and that is probably why as number by some mention argue very passionately about the things i mean i i remember when michelle and i we get so hyped up i thought oh my god you know we're scrape us off the ceiling we're so wired you know when you argue a point and you have that you feel somehow that what is inside you is something so much more than just your intellect it's more than your personal heart or your even trying to argue something for your constituents it's something that really is driven by i think a spiritual power by a power that's higher than one we even recognize and it's that connectedness that i have always felt here with not only the people of maui but with the island i know when jim and i first landed i can remember i came here on a convention how he came to maui it was an insurance convention and i just thought oh my goodness when i just got valley i said oh my gosh there was a spiritual moment that my husband and i both had and we said well we're going to die here and we will he's already you know passed on but you i don't know just who they were what they stood for all of that that sense of responsibility looking seven generations ahead that is what we experience so when i say i'm h at heart i really mean that i really mean that and it's been an experience serving particularly with the council in the current council i must say we have had some good times we've had some tough times  like the words that i said to the mayor it has been a challenge it i mean i can imagine perseverance in these times and i know members those of you that's will skin tin you to serve you have the spirit you have this drive and i want to thank you too mr chair for your leadership because i think you pull it all together and even though a member ponton the list not here he says he's going to have a challenge during budget but i have fa and i have trust and i have such a strong belief in the capability of the people here there's no shortage of caring and i can think back to the times when packham on the site where you were sitting mr chair and you know he was one stubborn guy too and that's probably what we loved about one another is that stubbornness and that perseverance and that determination but more than anything you give because it is what you're called to do what what's the verse you know many are called if you are chosen and i just thank all the people i thank you for your friendship i thank you for your stubbornness and for calling me short when i needed to be called short and i hope you weren't offended by things that i said because i never meant it in any personal way but if we did not have all these diverse opinions we would not have the good decisions that have come out of this council and i'm proud to say that i have really been honored much like charmaine to doris comments it really is a privilege and an honor to  serve i will not be back i will not run for elected office because i believe that i leave at least the west maui seat in capable hands but i will continue to be an advocate for the things that are really near and dear to my heart and it certainly the people of maui and i have been the one to gain and i thank you as one door closes another one opens i look forward to seeing you again in whatever capacity that regular meeting for december third two thousand and ten will reconvene mr clark let's proceed chairman perceiving with presentation of testimony on agenda items we have received thirteen requests from individuals who wish to offer testimony on agenda items so we perceive members before the clerk calls up the first testify that she would like to set the parameters for those providing testimony to the council we welcome anyone wishing to provide your comments to the council dismounting you will be allowed to speak for three minutes on any of the items posted on our agenda for today when your name is called please advance to the podium state your name for the record and if you represent a group or organization please so state the name of that group or organization as well a lighting system under podium is there to assist you with your testimony at the start of your comments the green light will be lit at the two minute thirty second mark the yellow light will be lit letting you know you have thirty seconds to conclude and that disagreement at mark the red light will be lit letting you know that you have exhausted your three minutes for those of us with cell phones or other noisemaking devices this would be a good time to turn them off police or set them on silent mode to avoid disruptions decorum in this chamber will be maintained at all times mr clark call up our first testifier please the first person to testify is john dewey testifying on committee report turned one forty six followed by my time between this water issue ins you all be gone not gone but i mean not gone gone but public gone from the council with i might be gone gone  either before the supreme court possibly or the second circuit court of appeals and that's going to go on and on and on so until you get that get settled it's going to be more problems as a din a fight in the plan the  watershed which we almost got done five years ago so we'll be going after that again in the new administration hopefully a couple things that in the play and in this the plan is presented that i want to comment on a number one decide design side management which is very important conservation as shown in the plan if all the design side method was take place would save six point seven million gallons of water per day which is a lot of water but it cost a few bucks of course because the other bigger thing is the recycled water which could could be up to three million gallons a day depending on and that would probably be the best way to go right now not be nine point seven million gallon which would also as  put off new use water to about twenty eighteen one more thing i want to be blinking but on page twenty three there's about explorations of new source water and i do want to comment on that just a second if you let  good morning aloha ring off i'm here to speak on resolution number ten dollars to six seven and this is historical for me now and i'd like to support it and i do support this resolution being passed and like to acknowledge the creators of the resolution and the people who have brought it forward i'd like to say mahalo to henry not and also the people that support the efforts that he takes the time to take the leadership role in and to bring forward and also to all of you that have participated in an open the door to all of us to be able to participate in the discussion and having a creative dialogue on what these human rights are and how we can prevent violating those human rights and most definitely  recognizing our obligations that we each one and all all of us have to these laws and these treaties and most of all just civil society knowing  and our roles i believe has to begin somewhere and you know with that i say do adopt the resolution is my thing to do for all of us and hopefully we can achieve more and better from there i submitted one in all a little a little have a e and i do hope that that will come along with this progressing with it as well not only the english but also the whole way in language resolution ms ventura quit oh you know i forgot to say that i'm hearing not only my personal capacity but also as representing the human rights taskforce that works with the office of the high commissioner for human rights nation body panel that has reviewed the united states for human rights violations including their entire administration and that this will be included in our report for the next law first of all i'd like to thank all of you council members for contributing your time you know and working in a job position that sometimes is not appreciated by many people one that really didn't understand how a county procedure is in turn having myself to return now the fourth time ok but as i reflected back on my notes i realize that i did present  know and if it's brought to the floor it can be accepted or rejected but i really appreciate the fact that councilwoman beisel did bring that ordinance to the fore you know despite having its strong language in there ok we were able now to have a discussion and i brought an amendment to the floor ok for discussion and i think if you just read what i brought forward it reflects many of the problems that we're experiencing as a wine people in our own country ok what i also learned was that help is always they'll help is always there so in the last discussion while i was here i really appreciated councilman sawka who are coming forward and simply stating to me he really if we was to just adjust the language the points would be ok has actually everything in it that pertains to law laws that have been passed at the united states government level laws that have been passed at the state of hawaii level and laws that have been passed in the international arena ok and there's nothing in here that i believe would jeopardize any council government laws it wouldn't jeopardize any council member it doesn't threaten anything other than she you showing your support that we as council members do agree that the united states federal government has already acknowledged that there was wrong done to the whole point people first of all the state of hawaii has also made that same acceptance that wrong was done to our hawaiian people and all we're doing now is asking that the county members of of mali you know do the same so if you really take a real close look at this resolution one minute fact i actually believe that it's sort of watered down in my opinion but like i said in a learning curve in a learning process you learn how to adopt and this is what i believe this resolution dogs ok it got the point across and i prayed oh cool did you take it upon yourself you know like i told my victory no earlier you played the devil's advocate once i remember so i asked him can you play the angels advocate today ok and pass something as simple as this thank you all but away from the reinstate my identity and it is a big part of it and i really hope as moni council members you recognize that there's a lot of a lot of points in your district to support this and hopefully you have it in your heart to support it as well thank you very much more members is there a need to have any part of the testimony rephrased thank you mister next person to testify is john oliver justify an iconic communication number just two hundred sixty seven followed by james kimmel everybody john oliver that was very nice this morning it was nice i'm feeling nice and mellow and i'm congratulations to everybody and and good luck on their endeavors if you're leaving but  what i'd like to talk on of course is two sixty seven and i like to start with a story so maybe we can understand exactly what's going on and what kind of would be coming up probably shortly i bought a house in my who terrorists the state it was a state project come to find out after ten years of living there that that land is little estate doing a little more research and me being a foreigner you know i like to know what's going on i really want to know what's happening and so i further delved into it and realized that the estate is still not settled which means if i was ripped off because somebody didn't tell me what was going on and and i'm not going to get into it too much it's a big concern i'm sure the court counsel understand and the administration understands you know what we're talking about here but that's why i support the resolution because these are the kind of issues that are going to be heard at the u n and  it's probably as heavy as it gets as far as you know the type of activity that the administration's been allowing for so long and not telling anybody about it so it's my concern that i let you guys know that i hope you pass a resolution so some dialogue can get started so we can hopefully alleviate these issues without any further damage and then this is a regards to water land issues developments i mean i'm i'm not opposed to a moratorium for everything right now until these dialogues can really start getting hashed out in a in a pretty quick manner it needs to get done because it's further not editor only is it further damaging people who are moving here of course it's damaged other families who have been here and sisterly for forever basically so that's my concern and i just hope i think about that in the future thank you thank you the kingdom of heaven member represent the prince of peace in the divine government of the spiritual brotherhood of all humankind and i beg you to consider this situation that would have happened if the people of jesus is time had accepted him of the leaders of the jewish people had accepted jesus we wouldn't be here right now the world we so radically different we could probably hardly recognize it in jerusalem would have become undoubtedly the spiritual capital of the world because it was like the headquarters of the prince of peace when he was here as a human being and today we have his spirit in us the spirit of truth and idealistic beauty is the living presence of jesus who is the purpose of peace in the sovereign creator of our universe and he needs a place on earth to serve what jerusalem never had the opportunity to serve or become the spiritual capital of the government of the kingdom of heaven on earth and this is a genuine thing it was his only to lead leave their homes south of the equator to find a way i dare say if the jewish leaders of jesus day had accepted him this would be the kingdom of a completely unchanged from it would never have been overthrown or in occupied and so forth and so radically different so as a say the spirit of the prince of peace is within each of us it is my will that the will of god be done because this is the best that can come out of all this as a peacemaking situation this is an ideal opportunity to begin the correction of the incredible we first want to say thank you very much for all of you guys times in communications throughout that your time here and i really enjoyed trying to get to the injustice across to members you know  trying to seek democracy while at the same token being deprived but with all respect i really appreciate it you guys yesterday's testimony and you committee was going on yesterday of understanding today's political and truth in justice comes from this level and we're not here to take advantage of anything but to absolutely understand the differences you know and there is a lot of problems that model thank you for your time and everything do you know and so i do support this resolution with all heart and respect to all who knows how ancestors who absolutely gave us this right this was never a given right from some foreign now this is our right and it's all love and respect to all of you who made time and efforts no matter if you were up down left or right or the discussion or argument was there i say thank you good morning in a law my name is joseph kelly evil and i resent it and i reside in seattle washington and i'm here for the specific purpose in support of the reinstatement of the kingdom of c c number ten to six seven i'm just asking the council members here to support the bridge illusion in highly encourage the maoi county understand the responsibility and to promote and to encourage respect for the human rights and the fundamentals of freedom this can be done by the support of and that's why i'm here thank you thank you members your need to have any part of the testimony rephrase i being that i'm barn of a sovereign state i've come to find who i am and what i am and i support this resolution and all the things that you guys are doing definitely for our children in a future for for the come up and find out what there's been born into in this state and being that i'm surrounded by a village of older elder people who know a lot of things that us younger kids do not know about forth here to be able to one day bring this fort and for you folks to recognize this because definitely everything is a movement everything is for the children everything is for the land everything is for where we came from our water you folks to definitely look forward to our children and what we was born to and just take notice through this action and yeah definitely you know just being young and feeling all the energies and things going through and i definitely don't know what you guys are feeling but i definitely can feel some type of pain that people are going to and i feel it and i hear it every day and that's why i came here to share my testimony and definitely to learn more you know every day's a learning situation we learn and make all the wrong things right and all i ask is for you folks to recognize this and to make the right decision thank you thank you members is do we need to have any part of the testimony rephrase thank you very much is to clear the next person to testify is bill dorman just final county communication number tend to in just sixty seven followed by russell the whole kelly press you can make a claim against the state now and i mean get that transcript he didn't say that on the transcript yeah so i just like by i know thank you very much members is there a need to have any part of the testimony rephrase thank you mr clark next resolution two six seven and i want to be able and signed copy of my testimony i don't have sixteen copies while i would hope it would be instead of repeating the same thing with  virus and i feel so much a law you know and and i'm proud of that and counsel if you you know bear with me i might take a little warning for minutes but i just wanted to share why they adopted the kingdom law and part of what i believe is that the adopted kingdom of because we are an occupied country and the laws of occupation come through we know that this body was elected to a democratic process they do truly represent the americans living in our country this is the lowest form of government the colony and we are attempting to work with the conky in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the road was god had the word and it was called the law our queen put our trust in the lord and in the treaties that we had with the united states of america we never violated the tre some people say that sovereignty will never happen but i disagree because it already happened after the united states admitted to this crime and the state of hawaii admitted to this crime we the heirs of the kingdom of oil had gotten together through a democratic process and reinstated our country in accordance with international law this resolution that we introduce here today is an attempt to work with this county because we understand that there is people on both sides that are being hampered we're like a weed living in a garden that has every much right to grow as there is the most precious flower but yet being oppressed by the farmer or the other flowers and taking away our shuttle from our light and trying to prevent us from growing into what we know we can become not only a good healthy nation for the people are people of hawaii and when i say our people i mean all of our people picos it's evident that we never discriminated one hundred years ago and we're not discriminating today we had a law for every race that entered into our kingdom and if the fact that we didn't need to marry what every other race that came here doesn't speak for itself that we are not racists then nothing w the fact that we never home with ourselves over one hundred years and put our trust in the treaty and gain back to the word one minute to conclude thank you i'll try my best to conclude in his one minute is so much had happened over a hundred years but getting back to the word as council members when you guys took the oath of office you guys lost made a pledge and that pledge was your word yeah and so your pages to uphold the laws excellent speech today that there is no discernible job except for and if you're breaking the law well we came before you to serve legal notice on many occasions of the reinstatement of the kingdom of hawaii we did it through a democratic process and is our intention to work with you not again to soul you know with the feelings of a lawyer in the air that thanksgiving is the christmas season upon us where everybody remembers jesus christ deep into the pool and that is counsel has a courage to make the right choice again i thank you guys for all of your service all of you for truly serving the people of hawaii not just those who voted for you on the democratic party or republican party but truly all the people and that includes us thank you for giving me this time and again i am strong support of this resolution and i pray that you guys are do the right thing molyneux law a law god bless your thank you and it's about a small issue about this big it's called in the call bullets ok i'm a vietnam veteran i was a medic and i saw the damage of gunfire when arment can do i'm also taxpayer here and so i'm liable for any actions that are taken especially in relation to a shooting that took place on the west side not too long ago a pickup truck full of kids got shot at i don't know if  indiscriminately or maybe they were targeted i don't know but we have i presume that your police are carrying hollow point bullets glocks forty smith and wesson what their goal dots i mean a gold dot spears or hydra shock federal so ok and these are designed to cause maximum tissue damage and the reason i bring this up now is because you were on police bullets could be crossing an international boundary i'm a citizen of the kingdom of y e i have an international personality i am not a fourteenth amendment citizen of the united states so therefore i don't want to be threatened by a ornament that would violate international law because i am a protected person now on the geneva convention ok so there is quite a jurisdictions now on the mainland that are changing out their bullets from a hollow point bullet to a full metal jacket bullet in other words it would pretty much meet the military specifications ok in that it basically minimizes any type of tissue damage ok and that intent in turn lessens the liability of any type of lethal force that might be used by the police and know this is a relatively minor issue it could have major ramifications especially in the pocketbooks of the taxpayers yes so i think it's something that should be looked into and thank you for your consideration thank you members need to have any part of your testimony rephrase thank you very much mr clarke the last person to sign up to testify is cool people not only testifying on county communication number ten desh two hundred  he beautifully and he was a wonderful wonderful man one of my favorite heroes but i have another quote here and it says i could not turn back the time for political change but there is still time for us to see our own heritage never cease to act because you fear you may fail and that was said by our queen your konami now is a little round the room i see a lot of our own people who are not afraid of going ahead in doing what is right and have no fear because as long as we know about the truth and they realize of all the wrong we'll keep on fighting we'll keep on doing we'll keep on moving to we persevere so so i give my support you members is there a need to have any part of the testimony rephrase thank you very much mister chairman we have received additional requests for testimony calling nelson waikiki testifying on county communication number ten deaths two hundred sixty seven mourning a law thank you called so for allowing this time to reflect resolution and i mean asking you to please support this speaking hina some turn of events and information that i have received over the course of a few years of research has put me in a very strong position and that's the reason why i came here today to present who i am t council and to the public as public record that i am who i am and i am here to solve a result of whatever issues that has violated the civil rights of my family and those issues our land entitle ments those issues our water entitlements those issues of the failure to pay bonds on my family's names and the treasury and the state of treasury department of tr department of interior has to answer to me and my family and i want to present that to the public as well these issues are vital they're important to me the resolution is reporting me should be important to you as well and also it is important to my constituents here in hawaii and across the world and in the united nations and globally effect it has taken place and most importantly the  whole piece and not to be segregated by our indifferences but to be united to solve these intricate problems here and to set the standards and the procedures how how winds can negotiate in business with american government which treaties that are existing with that in mind i please somebody ask that you would enforce recognise this resolution and to support the wine customary traditional practices by law have a great thing of less members is during need to have any part of the testimony rephrased thank you mister chairman we have received an additional request for i had to make a comment regarding the water trough and that's coming before you and mainly reiterating what i mentioned yesterday about water and as this draft is coming forward anywhere else on the island but at this point since the water drop for central mali has certain statistics involved and the state water commission did not have this information i'm wondering if that's going to be included in this draft and if it is how have they reflected that information because i didn't read it i didn't read it in the initial draft that i looked at so that's all i wanted to bring to attention thank you thank you very much members is there a need to have any part of the testimony rephrase thank you mr keller we have received no further requests to offer testimony on agenda items  members this was the last individual who had signed up to provide testimony this morning the chair will ask or allow anyone in the gallery who had not provided testimony if you wish to do so please come up to ask if there is anyone who did not provide fire testimony wishing to do so to please advance to the podium at this  time to say that thank you very much for all of your maybe this is a lesson in the law and not the federal law that you might have learning your schooling but most of you might not know the definition of words one of the definitions is indigenous indigenous in most times in dying which means extremely extremely poor under the federal government and state government corporation probably knows this it means there's a large n and a small and if you look at it i thought it was a mistake typographical error but it does have a meaning the large and means everyone is a native hawaiian here let's say that you come from chicago you come from new york you know you switch now you become a chicago and you become a new york you come to why you're a native hawaiian you have every benefit under the word native hawaiian to receive the native hawaiian benefit on that though you have the small in its fifty percent that means everybody would fifty percent  trying to point out something so when you put native hawaiian aboriginal indigenous you really believe that you're of this land that you have ancestry and that you're part of the law and yet you should benefit no no it means everybody here has the benefit or knows this or in homes knows this so i'm just trying to let you know that when you write laws make sure you understand the true and i was wondering what she meant by that region ease landless people of america landless they have all no land and there she was talking about the americans because they law and also i see it on the task force one minute to conclude or thank you somewhat and as a task force member one of the most interesting countries that we write to is  cameroon cameroon just got their full independence so they're very interested in us so call what you believe native hawaiians they're really interested in what we have to see and this resolution that you're passing right now and i say passing because we still have to write down pass or no pass injury or no injury and sup to you how you pass i agree that you should pass it we don't want to write to them and you know public nor dairy so i know a little bit about law and i love the law when it's done properly thank you if you please stop at the table in the back

mystical or recognizing united states public law one hundred three dash one hundred fifty the universal declaration of human rights of one nine hundred forty eight the international covenant on civil and political rights of one thousand nine hundred six and the international covenant on economic social and cultural rights of hundred six whereas the people of the county of the state of hawaii of the united states of america and all of this world are born free with rights derived from inherent dignity of human person and whereas these in a global universal rights are adopted and codified by the general assembly of the united nations in what is commonly referred to as the international bill of human and cultural rights of one thousand nine hundred sixty six and whereas in addition to setting forth the rights of individuals the international bill of human rights provides that each nation agrees to respect and to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the covenants without distinction of any kind such as race color sex language religion political or other opinion national or social arjen property birth or other status and whereas prior to the arrival of the first your opinions in one in excuse me in seven hundred seventy eight the native hawaiian people lived in a highly organized self sufficient sups this then social system based on communal and land tenure and a unified monocle government of the whole why and islands was established in eight hundred ten under command how one and whereas the united states recognized the independence of the kingdom of hawaii and extended full and complete diplomatic recognition to the whole wind government and whereas in eight hundred ninety three the den united

reconciliation efforts for the native hawaiian people five that has used in this resolution native hawaiian refers to kanaka moley people original to the hawaiian islands and six that sort of my copies of this resolution be transmitted to the mare of the county of the governor of the state of hawaii the state of hawaii's delegation to united states congress president of committee it is clear that this resolution simply reiterate international law federal law and state law and leaves this council to understand fully that these laws are in place and for us to perhaps  comprehend those laws in our own actions on a day to day basis and i want to thank thee and you know for coming forward and drafting it in a manner that i think is acceptable for this council to seek its passage moore good afternoon mr chairman there is a short opinion dated december second two thousand and ten written at the request a response to a request for an opinion  i was asked whether the proposed resolution had any legal implications and whether it required cooperation council signature among other things my memorandum states that the proposed resolution is not a bill for an ordinance and is not a legislative act for charter purposes it does not purport to change or amending the law if adopted the proposed resolution will not have the force and effect of law further in that random i stated that like other council resolutions adopted in past the proposed resolution and it expresses and it communicates a point of view or set of aspirations for consideration if adopted the proposed resolution would this type or for bills for ordinances for that matter and therefore no cooperation council approval is required or necessary for council action on the proposed resolution i did note in my memorandum that for purposes of my response i did not undertake and i did not set forth in the memorandum a analysis or discussion of the various international covenants treaties and human rights declarations referenced there in and i noted that in this much as the proposed resolution does not appear to do more than simply recognize for acknowledge those principles or aspirations that we do not believe that adoption of the proposed resolution would have any legal stated some issues one issue that i would like to ask you so you did state that this does not bind the colony in any way can you state for the record one one thing that mr hayes i guess had mentioned was the issue of you know any type of recognition of claims against colony as as we talk about this resolution this dishabille any bearing on that so you're saying i guess i'm guessing it does not but i just want you to have it said for the record yes  in a nutshell i do not believe that the resolution would change any laws or constitute any kind of commitment on behalf of the county of mali the resolution itself among other things it doesn't make any promises about paying money for example or giving land it does not bind the county twenty obligations that would not otherwise exists when i say obligations i mean legal obligations nor does it recognize any particular group or grant any particular exemption from laws to any party so that much i think should be made clear for the record also one technical observation i'll make is international covenant on civil and political rights as laws i want to note that for example the universal declaration of human rights is a declaration was that was adopted by the un general assembly in one nine hundred forty eight the un general assembly is not a law making body it's not a parliaments some of the principles set forth in can become part of what's called customary international law but just because it's in the declaration doesn't mean that it or that a u s court would give effect to all of its provisions furthermore the international covenant economic social and cultural rights is a covenant that has never been ratified by the united states senate it was signed by the united states under the administration of jimmy carter president jimmy carter but i don't believe the u s senate ever ratified it now the other declaration the international covenant on civil and political rights that one was signed and was right by the s and was ratified by the u s senate but with a number of amendments and reservations and in adopting the international covenant on civil and political rights the u s senate adopted a particularly important reservation which said shall not be self executing as it applies to united states of america which basically means that its provisions do not constitute u s law that would give rise to a legal claim before us court unless and until the united states congress dops a law establishing that cause of action you know with us congress reserve the right to implement the provisions of that international covenant on civil and political rights to mine and i'm not to my knowledge and i'm not an expert on that particular covenant i j returned should you have additional questions for me no no i just i think i just wanted to get it right into the record and to you know certainly appreciate the dialogue has been opening up now on the floor just to comment you know we did have that letter we can continue the dialogue in the future that other folks can come in and then in their thoughts on this because this is certainly very complicated to saw something it's not going to certainly be solved overnight but at least one major step has occurred that also  and your chairmanship we started the opening up of the education process if you will we have something else emphasized in yesterday's committee of the whole meeting the education of kingdom law and other matters related to this so i appreciate m bringing this matter to our attention thank you chairman thank you mr bison yes thank you very much so i am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than myself will address this but i'm still have one little thing that i'd like before we vote on this and it was today one of the testifiers brought up some educational information about the use of the word native hawaiian and can resolution there is a line number five that says that as used in this resolution native hawaiian refers to the people aboriginal and that was also defined to the whole way an island and i want to be sure and i believe in the admissions act of the state of hawaii admissions act they use the term native hawaiian identifying the small and is that person who is has a blood  definition and i think what's being asked for in here is that rather than trying to decipher whether you're looking at quantum or not it says clearly that we're looking at them meaning cannot come only so that's a whole other discussion it's not it's not using the small end to say that it only belongs to refers to a specific group of people that are fifty percent plus and it's not just using the large and disregarding bills as well so thank you very much you know  when we get to talking about native hawaiian issues i have the same caution that i have been using a foreign language that i don't understand you know it is really really important because we are being educated in these matters and i want to thank everyone who has been very helpful this year both my colleagues and you chair and all the people that have come to try and help us understand these issues better you know i think it's been a real good opportunity for us to educate ourselves about issues that we hear a lot about and we hear more about them now as more people become aware of their rights and their responsibilities and are empowered to speak out that we as the representatives of the people are educated too so i'm very grateful for what i've learned this past year and i now realize how little i really do know you know the more you learn the more you realize how little you know and so i'm looking forward to us pursuing this in the in the future and becoming more knowledgeable about the terms and what they mean and what the issues are about thank you thank you ms bass members for the discussion mr nishiki there are i think i just want  one basic concern that i have always had when we get elected by the people that sometimes we forget that oath and we forget that they are not so pompous and arrogant and that we always remember in that o and put our nose to the ground and god somehow even in my oriental upbringing now and as arrogant as i was and rebellious as i was i can always remember you know my people just bowing and showing a little bit of humility and what you had said gladys i think today hopefully we will we we will remember this that in this position we are not kings or queens or whatever that we are the servants of those of us that have put us in this position and when we members that then i think we can put on those town and that mitt and we thank you all of those out here that have educated  us and hopefully will strive to start from that beginning of being servant and put our heads down and realize that really when you start putting your head down and this cop today empty and when this cup is empty then there is a possibility for someone like this people to fill that up and give us maybe some food to to learn so i can i'm going to be supporting this resolution and again to this wonderful consul in the community a you know as as as has been said by many this is the first step in many steps of trying to rectify the past to make what was wrong right and to make sure that the community understands at large that did happen these events of an illegal over troll did occur i mean history has proven that out and that's not something that anyone disputes  i feel that this has been worked on and this is something that we can move as a first step along with joanne and many others will come to educate us miss causton there are many groups that come to educate us and every day we get educated the more empowering it becomes for all of us yet you are so bottom line in all of this is your i can support this i think this is something that is long overdue i think as as  i play the devil's advocate and i'll be the angel's advocate i can to be death i'm sorry even in christmas as i'm hoping to get at least one gift this year so i want to say that i can support it not because i'm an angel only because it's the right thing to do and hopefully i to i think referring to the comments that were made by written testimony you know as i read this comment was made we don't need to do this because it's already been recognized i think the resolution today is to just put forth th council comes to a point in time that it now understands that it has these laws that it can fall back on to take a look at in the exam and be become thoroughly aware in college of all of moving forward as these issues arrive and so this would be one point at which is counsel is trying to say moving forward let us help ourselves in this process of understanding these particular instances that are historical and have in fact the laws that are preceding them as well other groups as well because i think we need to be as inclusive of all groups as much as possible on this so so everybody is involved whether people agree with each other or not but it's important that that dialogue continues amongst as many people as we can because you know that's in my opinion responsible thing to do to engage everyone and not only you know in our role as elected officials any groups or whatnot and of course this responsibility is also you know it's on the groups out there to get themselves you know into the process as well i mean yes we have a responsibility elected officials to get the word out but it's also the responsibility of others in whatever groups they're the lead to get themselves to make the effort to dialogue with us as well so that way you know everybody knows what is going on and not find out you know tomorrow like oh what did you guys do as a council we never hear about it or not so it kind of works both ways mr chairman you know so on the part of us to get the word out and on the part of others to make the effort to get involved and find out what is happening so this is a first step in terms of the education process but we need to all remember whatever happens down the road in terms of any negotiations that eventually i believe will fall into the hands of the courts you know at a higher level we are as it was stated we are the lowest level of government and i don't mean low in a negative sense but you know whatever we do here can be superceded by state and federal law so just as a reminder to to all and those who may be watching because disses certainly been an interesting topic to seattle decent as it was stated in yesterday's committee of the whole meeting for many of us who was in education and there was a lot of when when we were growing up a lot of things we were not taught about kingdom law and being that this is the whole sculpture it should have been something that was at least talk to those of us when we were young so we today would have a scheduling this item and taking the info word and scheduling the educational lessons that have occurred you know when this was given to me by act it was handed to me about by mr armitage with a request to please forward  it i said well yes i would bet i would send it forward because i represent all of the people of county not just one specific group and when somebody comes to me and says would you please forward this i feel that it's my responsibility to forward it for discussion and action if it's appropriate and so i sent it to you and to mr moore molino who got it and he was courageous and courteous enough to schedule what he did so i want to thank you mr million a very very much you've been a great chair of the committee of the whole you're a brave man and you believe in doing the right thing and i want to thank you very very much just one more comment i just want to make clear for for those who are watching the passage of this resolution should it pass is not an acknowledgment of any one entity it is really a reference guide to the information that people can take a look at and that's what we're working members further discussion hearing on all those in favor of the motion
