Veterans Advisory Committee <br /> Minutes November 26,2019 <br /> Page 13 <br /> Lewis: No, I'll make the motion, you'll second it. <br /> Chair Doolittle: We got a motion on the table to do that. All in favor? <br /> Seven ayes, motion passed. <br /> Wery: I have a question, how are we going to make sure that it happens? It's supposed to <br /> be happening today, yesterday. <br /> Chair Doolittle: We don't know that it's supposed to be happening. <br /> Wery: No, the results of this meeting are supposed to go, one copy is supposed to go to <br /> the Mayor's office. It's supposed to be that way. Whether it has or not, I don't know. <br /> Chair Doolittle: Well if it hasn't, it will from now on. <br /> Wery: That's my point, how are we going to know that it's happening? <br /> Chair Doolittle: Well I'll ask Brittany to make sure she includes the Mayor on her <br /> distribution list. Whether or not he reads it or not, that's his prerogative. But you know, in <br /> making the Mayor apprised of what we talk about, that's one way of doing it. Whether or <br /> not that gets passed onto the Council it's available online, it's posted online all the time. <br /> At least you know, you can lead that horse to water, but getting him to drink it is another <br /> thing. <br /> Liability Insurance for Events <br /> Wery: You had something that American Legion wanted to bring up about their <br /> insurance. <br /> Gaspar: According to Brittany, we cannot get assistance from the Director Roxcie <br /> Waltjen and Brittany suggested that American Legion will go to Council people <br /> jurisdiction in that area. <br /> Wery: Question, American Legion had a ceremony at the Vietnam Memorial on Veterans <br /> Day. They wanted to have a firing squad and then they were told that they had to have <br /> liability insurance to have the firing squad. <br /> Gaspar: Regardless if you do firing squad or not, still you have to pay the liability <br /> insurance. This past Veterans Day, State DLNR wanted $445 for the liability insurance <br /> for American Legion to do the celebration at the Wailoa State Park. But because the <br /> American Legion cannot afford the $445, they cancelled the program. Now, this coming <br /> May 25, 2020, they wanted to do Memorial Day celebration, they'll start applying and <br /> talking to the Council people to see if they'll pay the $445 for the liability insurance. <br /> Yoshimoto: Contingency funds? County funds for insurance? <br />
