Mr. Heintz: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Heintz: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Heintz: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Heintz: Mr. Wiseman: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Robinson: Ms. Sumner -Mack: I have a question about the Wil Okabe, Westin Hapuna Beach accommodations. Was there some activity or function that was there? Do we know what this is about? I'm not familiar with that. No. I had the same concern. I don't understand why a County officer would be receiving accommodations if there's...I mean if there's a function or a conference or something. It's just...it's out of the blue. Question about Harry Kim's roughly $1,500 worth of art. Is this...and the services of someone to hang the art...is this in his home or is this at a County building or is this a personal gift...the $1,500? I can't speak to that but we can request further clarification. I'm just uneasy. I don't know what the deal is on these. My approval for the Mayor's gifts was based on the fact that they imply... stay with the County. Not personal gifts. So if the art was hung in the office, it's not his personally. It stays with the County. Stays with County. That needs to be clarified. His term of office ends at some point. I just don't understand. And then also the guidelines...I mean incidental gifts I take it there's a reason for this $100...in excess of a $100 that they need to report. Something needs to be said about these. In with respect to Mr. Okabe, I'd like my approval subject to finding out there was an event for it. I think we had to pass these guys first. Yeah, I just signed to get them moving. I just assumed because it was department head it was...involved with all of this... I assumed it was legitimate. Mr. Heintz: I don't mean to be a puncture weed but I have a problem with it. 3
