Mr. Drummond — Propane. We don't use diesel at any of the radio sites because they're in <br />remote areas. If you have a fuel spill, now you have a real problem trying to clean it up. With <br />propane, if you have a leak it just evaporates. You lose your fuel but you're not dealing with <br />environmental issues. <br />Mr. Kamelamela — You say the County maintains 14 out of 21 radio sites? <br />Ms. Sako — The County maintains 14 generators out of the 21 sites. <br />Mr. Kamelamela — So the other 7 is what? <br />Mr. Drummond — I should have written it out better. In 7 of the other sites, we're either in two <br />State sites. They maintain their own generators. Other sites like the Kona Police Station; their <br />radio equipment is connected to the big generator that powers the entire station. <br />Ms. Sako — We power for each of the 21 sites but only 14 of the generators are ours that we <br />maintain and would standardize. <br />Mr. Sewake — Any issues with anyone trying to steal the propane? <br />Mr. Drummond — No, but we have two sites that are solar powered and we've had problems with <br />theft of solar panels in the past but recently we haven't had any problems. <br />Ms. Sako — Even if you're asking to standardize on Kohler, it would be as the other generators <br />wear out or expire. It's for new generators. They're not going to go out and purchase all Kohler <br />generators one time. <br />Mr. Drummond — Correct. <br />Ms. Sako — Any more questions? None. <br />The Committee voted and motion was carried. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />None. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There was no further business. Mr. Kamelamela made a motion to adjourn the meeting and it <br />was seconded by Mr. Hunt. The meeting adjourned at 9:13 a.m. <br />Respectfully submitted <br />Crystallene Pacheco <br />
