separate because you have a much more complex chain of command. More moving parts. <br />Collecting fees at over-the-counter sales is a straightforward thing, it goes to a dedicated fund <br />that is used for nothing else, and it avoids tampering from afar. <br />Commissioner Cardwell asked isn’t that what the HI-5 program is already doing, and the money <br />is still being taken? <br /> <br />Commissioner Olson said the difference is HI-5 is a state matter. <br /> <br />Chair Adams said maybe that would be something for Commissioner Olson and maybe <br />Commissioner Robinson to look into: How can we establish a tax on goods brought to this <br />island when I buy everything on Amazon? <br /> <br />Commissioner Olson cautioned about using the word “tax.” It’s a fee with a dedicated purpose. <br /> <br />As far as how it would work on orders made outside the County, that is an issue we are going to <br />have to figure out, Commissioner Olson said.

They were told to request that HWF remove the nets to prepare for construction. That <br />indicates it is happening sooner rather than later. They took a huge load of those nets out last <br />weekend and there is about half of it left. They are going to be coming back this weekend to get <br />the remainder of them. It is a great, successful program. He is not sure about the timing of <br />construction but it is getting closer because we have to remove those nets. <br /> <br />Commissioner McIntosh asked about whether a decision has been made to keep the transfer <br />station open. <br /> <br />Director Mansour said those are still being looked at for options. For now it will stay open until <br />the Department decides what it is going to do. We are going to meet in-house to make sure <br />that service continues. If it closes people will need to go to other transfer stations during the <br />construction. But that will be worked out and people will be notified via signage what is being <br />done. <br />18 <br /> <br /> <br />
