HENDERSON: That is the address for the vacant lot that is associated with the property. Ms. <br />Bauman, And is it true that there is no water bill from the Department of Water Supply for the <br />property at 75-5944 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: If the property is receiving water, then there would be a water bill regardless of <br />which address the water meter is on. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: In my previous question, Section 21-2, definition of unoccupied unit ends with the <br />wording “and currently receives a water bill.” It does not say whether or not it receives water, <br />or whether or not there is a meter there, it says “and currently receives a water bill.” Do you <br />know if the unoccupied unit receives a water bill from the Department of Water Supply? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: I would have to say if it's receiving water, it does. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Are you familiar with Section 21-31 of the county code? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: Yes. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: That section is made up of three sentences. 1) Sewer user charges for residential <br />customers shall be assessed to all lots accessible to a public sewer or gang cesspool, whether <br />connected or not. 2) User charges for sewer services to residential customers, which include <br />service for single family dwellings, duplexes, housing projects, condominiums, townhouses, <br />apartments, and dormitories, shall be assessed according to the schedule shown under section <br />21-36.1. 3) Unoccupied units will be assessed a monthly maintenance fee equal to the current <br />user fee. Is it true that in the reading of Section 21-31, the last sentence refers to the types of <br />residential units listed in the second sentence? <br /> <br />BAUMAN: Yes. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Ms. Bauman, isn't it true that there is no language in Section 21-31 that gives the <br />Director of the authority to charge a sewer user fee for a storage room, utility room and bath? <br />BAUMAN: Not described as such. <br />HENDERSON: So I take your answer is yes. There is no language in section 21-31 to charge for <br />the description of a storage room, utility room and bath. That's all the questions I have for this <br />witness. <br /> <br />ADAMS: Okay. Does Ms. Kekai have any questions for her testifier? <br /> <br />KEKAI: Not at this time, Chair. <br /> <br />ADAMS: Okay. Do the commissioners have a question for her? Rick Gaffney? <br /> <br />27 <br /> <br /> <br />
