NAKAMOTO: But, to answer your question, we will be having a training on the <br /> software once it becomes available. We have nothing to train the Commissioners on up <br /> until, until that time. <br /> LUL Okay, so that's really it on training? Okay, interesting. <br /> NAKAMOTO: But, we do have the training in our plan. In our schedule. Internal <br /> schedule. <br /> MELLON-LACEY: One question I know we discussed Pat, and that's availability of <br /> computers and what this Commission needs. So, maybe could you address that? <br /> NAKAMOTO: Yes. We are able to get computers for the Commissioners who need a <br /> laptop. To draw up plans, you know, to create plans. So, what we wanted to know from <br /> each Commissioner, and you folks don't have to give us this information right now, you <br /> know, you can email our office and let us know, if you would like for us to purchase a <br /> laptop computer so that you can, for you to use exclusively for the Redistricting <br /> Commission plans. You know, you can just let us know and we would be able to do that. <br /> KOSSOW: This is Bronsten. Is there a budget for that? <br /> NAKAMOTO: Yes. The Commission has a budget. And, I wouldn't I can ask Cori to <br /> tell meI don't know what exactly is in the budget, how much we have right now. We <br /> haven't spent any money yet. (Pause. Pat asked Cori for a dollar amount away from the <br /> microphone.) Okay, we would need to get back to you on that at the next meeting. <br /> KOSSOW: Thank you. Quick question for Ms. Nakamoto. The budget, and this is the <br /> Chair as well, the budget that's been appropriated for this particular board and <br /> commission, that would also go to pay for the vendor and the software that's used for the <br /> reapportionment of the data collection? <br /> NAKAMOTO: Yes, that's correct. <br /> KOSSOW: And, I think Mr. Rosenbrock eluded to the fact that it is costly? <br /> NAKAMOTO: Yes, we will be paying the vendor for the to provide us with support, <br /> which would include the training that will be provided to the Commissioners. But, as far <br /> as the software itself, the State will be purchasing that and the County will be using the <br /> software that pertains to the County of Hawai`i. So, we will not be paying for that <br /> portion of the software. <br /> KOSSOW: Thank you. And, sorry, second question to you Ms. Nakamoto. If the <br /> Commissioner prefers to use a personal laptop,personal computer, how does that comply <br /> with any sort of Sunshine Law issues or use of public information on our private <br /> computers and private technology. <br /> 28 <br />
