Veterans Advisory Committee <br /> Minutes November 26,2019 <br /> Page 16 <br /> Wery: I think there's some confusion there. I'll tell you this. With the guy that's running <br /> DLNR, you don't go up and tell him anything. You go up there and ask him. If you go <br /> and tell him, the answer is no. <br /> Yoshimoto: who is the guy? <br /> Wery: Dean. <br /> Yoshimoto: Wow, I just saw him this morning, Takebayashi? <br /> Wery; Yes, but you don't go up and tell him something. <br /> Chair: Oh, I know. We've had some really drawn out issues with our Housing up there on <br /> Kawili Street for our Veterans clinic site. DLNR was very difficult to get through. <br /> Lewis: Every time you have an activity, you have to cover the extent of the activity that <br /> you're doing. <br /> Wery: I think there's a misunderstanding between the two parties because we've never <br /> had any problems and I've worked with DLNR for the parade, I haven't had any <br /> problems. But like I said you do not go there and tell him; you go there and ask him. <br /> Lewis: I don't know what changed, but it did change policy, it changed for us. All I did <br /> was have to write a letter, get the gate opened, tell them all we were doing was parking in <br /> their parking lot. Now it's different, the gate will open for you but if you're going to use <br /> any area in our park you have to get insurance for that. Anyway, I think what we need is <br /> clarification from DLNR on that for the type of activities. Let's say that County can <br /> waive, it's hard enough to get someone with blanks to come with weapons and do it for <br /> you. There are enough hoops for them to jump through to have possession of that. It <br /> seems to me that if were going to have that we also need, I agree we need to notify <br /> everyone and get the permit, but to force them to have to pay the $500 to do that, it seems <br /> too much. But anyway, DLNR... <br /> Chair Doolittle: It almost eliminates the services from happening. <br /> Lewis: It does, for them. <br /> Wery: It's real simple, all you do is, you have a fundraiser, you pay the thing and it's <br /> done. It's that simple. <br /> Lewis: True, or you waive the requirement. Or you have the official governing document, <br /> whether it's State or County, they say they'll waive it for those ceremonies, those <br /> particular ceremonies. <br />
