department,who provided a pretty limited response, saying that you know, this will burden their
<br /> response. If working with them--[unintelligible speech.]
<br /> PLUNKETT: Yeah, I don't know how to exactly memorialize it,but just generally as a, as a
<br /> project, you know we have,Waikoloa Resort Association has security, so we have security
<br /> within the resort and we've built it up, you know, as the needs arise. And that's funded by dues
<br /> that all of our resort members pay and usually that's the first response. But it makes business
<br /> sense the same way, that if a school is required in a residential project to accelerate a school and
<br /> build it, and, and apply that against these the, the school impact fees in the future, the same could
<br /> apply to a police station.
<br /> I could just tell you that if, if police coverage became a problem and the developer could help
<br /> that by doing a substation or doing something like that against impact fees, they will, they will
<br /> do that. We will do that. It's,but it's based upon the needs, as they arise. You know, right now,
<br /> that has not been a problem here at Waikoloa, thus far.
<br /> VITOUSEK: The Police Chief is saying that the added thing will burden their coverage. That's
<br /> one of the responses that we got from the agency. So, I would just, you know, if it was possible
<br /> for you to have that discussion with the police department and see if there's anything specific that
<br /> can be done in advance, that, I think that would be a terrific thing to do.
<br /> HEAD: John, Chair Vitousek, I also add as the manager for the master association, I oversee
<br /> day-to-day operations,we are in touch with the Police Department on a regular basis, as John
<br /> mentioned.
<br /> We have a 24-hour, 365 security running in the master resort. Each of the shopping centers, the
<br /> timeshare operations, the hotels, they have their own security outfitted as you already know,but
<br /> we also do bring in off-duty police officers that we hire, and we bring them in randomly so
<br /> there's no predictable way. But, so that does alleviate some of the pressure on the staff that is
<br /> working, you know, nine to five,but because we do supplant them at those efforts.
<br /> VITOUSEK: I hear you. For me—
<br /> KERN: Mr. Chair? Maybe I can jump in too. I'm happy to facilitate a discussion with the,with
<br /> the applicants and the Chief prior to going to Counsel to see if the fair share or some type of hard
<br /> asset that, as Mr. Plunkett said, that they'd be willing to work out. Would that be reasonable?
<br /> VITOUSEK: Yeah, absolutely. I would love to that discussion.
<br /> KERN: --be okay with you folks, Sid? That way we can just have that discussion. The fair
<br /> share's there.
<br /> FUKE: Absolutely. Yes, I'll be happy to work with you on that with respect to Councilmembers.
<br /> KERN: Okay.
