Veterans Advisory Committee <br /> Minutes November 26,2019 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Gaspar: Yes. <br /> Yoshimoto: Yes, that would work out if the Council members are willing to do that. <br /> Wery: Question, VFW Puna, who pays for the stuff that you guys do? Deb? <br /> Lewis: Oh, who pays for the parade? <br /> Chair Doolittle: Is there a liability policy? <br /> Lewis: For Memorial Day, we don't have to have liability insurance. <br /> Wery: No. <br /> Lewis: For Veterans Day, we have to have it. <br /> Wery: So, who pays for the expenses that are incorporated with whatever you guys do? <br /> Lewis: the funds I get I have some County funds, and because that's mandated, I try to <br /> cover my police because Police is $2200 and the insurance is $600, I try to get the <br /> County to do that piece of it because that's mandated if we hold any kind of parade. But <br /> someone has to pay for it. So, I get some funds, well the majority of it is privately funded <br /> through donations. <br /> Sales: Is it different if they have a 21-gun salute say like at a funeral do they have to get <br /> liability insurance for that? <br /> Lewis: I think that's the new change. <br /> Wery: In order to have a salute, blanks, always blanks, you have to get a permit, you have <br /> to go to the Police Department to get a permit to do it. If you're going to do it on State <br /> property, it's a different ball game. You still have to go through the Police Department to <br /> get the permit to do it. <br /> Lewis: Yes, that's still true. But I think today,just like for us, we had to list, for us to <br /> park at the State parking lot, we had to put them on our insurance. <br /> Wery: Yes, from day one, from the first parade you had to have insurance. Identifying the <br /> County and the State. <br /> Lewis: Well whatever it was before, now you have to list the specific offices. <br /> Chair Doolittle: I'm kind of dumbfounded as to why the insurance... <br />
