Home

just, we just don't have those kind of resources and I understand your comment with respect to restrictive government action. We are trying to be transparent, a decision has not been made, and it will be made shortly. We just don't have the resources and Hawaii County has all of issues it has to deal with and I need to be very, very careful I do not detract from their enforcement and their protection of the citizen of the Westside of the Island. So what it comes down to is, I'm going to be on the pier, it's a very hot spot right now. Very hot both Hawaii County and DOCARE know it and we're down there regularly every day. So hopefully it changes behaviors and hopefully people understand, wrong place to be, absolutely wrong place to set up base camp and we are trying to find them other place I might add. Something that wouldn't impact the public resource and a historic resource, but that is long term. We are playing a long term game here. That is what unsheltered and homeless are. Teresa: Short question, sorry Abraham, but real quick, isn't there a DOCARE office on the Pier? Jerome: No Teresa: What offices are on the pier right now? Jerome: There was a Lieutenant that left the pier because of COVID and DLNR has an office there, because of the cruise ships, we have to have an office there. So our facility security officer, has an office there but, a prior tenant has left, so we are on the pier. That is it right now. Teresa: We'll further our conversation and report back to GMAC group after our meeting. Mahalo Abraham: Mr. Nickerson, Abraham District 5 ... Thanks for all you guys hard work that you guys have been doing, you and the County and the State DOCARE. But isn't there something you can do like an evening sting? Every Sunday for the last 2 months, they have been doing a sting down at Kahena, like Brian said. Can't you guys put that into a budget or something, to make a special sting let's call it, because it is a hot spot 10
