They only operate on overtime for <br />emergencies and mandatory training that has to be done during work hours. <br />The majority of their overtime is contractual. They used to have about $100,000 <br />for other overtime, but that was not enough. For large community events such <br />as the KWXX Downtown that has a large number of public <br />participants, the County provides funding. For Ironman, the County only <br />provides services to the public, not the Ironman participants. For Ironman, they <br />usually standup an incident commander and 4 ground teams in downtown <br />Kailua. They did put in request to Ironman and the Council for funding. <br /> <br />Commissioner Yamada stated that he brought up the overtime issue with his <br />formation. Chief Rosario will <br />provide the needed information. <br /> <br /> <br />
