These figures were based upon the actual costs incurred in Fiscal <br /> Year 2008-09 for twelve meetings in Hilo and twelve meetings in Kona. The following chart provides a <br /> breakdown of the average meeting costs per site: <br /> <br /> Hilo Kona <br /> <br /> Lodging: $633 $2,765 <br /> Meals and per diem: $186 $1,291 <br /> Mileage: $ 32 $ 291 <br /> Travel Related Overtime: $ 0 $ 334 <br /> Meeting Room: $ 0 $1,122 <br /> Extra Video-Recording Costs: $ 0 $1,362 <br /> TOTAL: $851 $7,165 <br /> Comm.
