Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes May 28,2019 Page 16 Wery: I can't speak for the County but I don't think they're going to pay for it. I know when they have the parade, they have to get insurance to use the stage area which is State property. To get the special use permit that's all through DLNR, State, you have to go through all of thoe requirements. You can't stake anything in the ground, there's allk kinds of requirements. If you give me your email address I'll email it to you. Gaspar: Ok. Chair Doolittle: Any other anouncements we need to make? Gaspar: Sure, I got one in Kona. June 14, Friday at 1700 hours the American Legion in Kona will have Flag Day Ceremony, Flag Day Disposal at Pirates Community Outreach Center located at 75-170 Hualalai Road across Kona Community Credit Union.
