<br /> <br />Page 21 <br />1 <br />MS. GREENBAUM: Ten-year period. And at that <br /> <br />2 <br />time we've had no additional staffing especially after <br /> <br />3 <br />the recession? <br /> <br />4 <br />MS. SAKO: We have gone through ups and downs, <br /> <br />5 <br />but comparing that 50 percent year to where we're at <br /> <br />6 <br />today, I believe the staffing is relatively the same, <br /> <br />7 <br />there's less than 50 people difference. <br /> <br />8 <br />MS. GREENBAUM: Hasn't the population also <br /> <br />9 <br />grown on the Big Island, so we're still operating with <br /> <br />10 <br />the same staffing? <br /> <br />11 <br />MS. SAKO: Yes. And that's one of the reasons <br /> <br />12 <br />why several positions were added in this proposed <br /> <br />13 <br />budget, especially for police. <br /> <br />14 <br />MS. GREENBAUM: And you had mentioned about <br /> <br />15 <br />additional equipment, is the equipment spread out in <br /> <br />16 <br />the depreciation format or is it all accounted for in <br /> <br />17 <br />the year? <br /> <br />18 <br />MS. SAKO: Because of the way the budget is, <br /> <br />19 <br />it depends if we release our buy-out rate, so it's <br /> <br />20 <br />where ever the cash expenditure is. <br /> <br />21 <br />MS. GREENBAUM: Okay. So, it's based on cash. <br /> <br />22 <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />23 <br />MS. SAKO: Uh-hmm. <br /> <br />24 <br />CHAIR: Any other questions? Thank you very <br /> <br />25 <br />much. Appreciate spending your time in coming. <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br /> <br />(808) 933-9800 <br /> <br />
