I <br /> R <br /> I <br /> Hawaii County Council-25 November 3, 2015 <br /> i <br /> MR. CHUNG: Yeah. Can we cut it short, or do we have to let it run its course? <br /> MS. KAMAKA: Cut it short,you assign an attorney to the claim that may not be <br /> well versed in workers' comp. <br /> MR. CHUNG: Right. <br /> MS. KAMAKA: I mean that's the alternative. <br /> MR. CHUNG: Well,how much were we spending in the past,per year? <br /> MS. KAMAKA: For—before we hired Nora? <br /> MR. CHUNG: Yeah. <br /> MS. KAMAKA: I just happen to have that information. You want calendar year <br /> or fiscal year? <br /> MR. CHUNG: Doesn't matter. <br /> MS. KAMAKA: Okay. This goes back to 2008. Let's see, budget year, <br /> $136,585. Budget year 2009, $1.92,723. Budget year 2010, $174,375. Budget <br /> year 201.1, $1.75,345. Budget year 2012, $197,605. <br /> MR. CHUNG: And that was the end,right? <br /> MS. KAMAKA: And that was the end. <br /> MR. CHUNG: It's kind of reasonable. So, if we see an aberration now, like let's <br /> say, $450,000 for—or you guys come for approval for it,then something's out of <br /> whack,right? <br /> MS. KAMAKA: That's not likely because you'd have to have ten attorneys all— <br /> MR. CHUNG: I can live with those amounts. I think those are fair. <br /> MS. KAMAKA: They're reasonable. <br /> MR. CHUNG: Yeah, okay. Thanks, Charmaine, I trust you. <br /> MS. KAMAKA: Okay, thank you. <br /> CHR. KANUHA: Thank you,Mr. Chung. Mr. Paleka. <br /> Page 77 <br />
