Home

trying to do the right things – so the suggestion that we’re going to put a gate there and then opening it up and then leave and not have somebody working there throughout the day, it’s questionable whether or not that’s the best way to manage that facility – as far as the cost - put up the gate but to even manage a hotline it seems like the ask here is for the County to not only manage the solid waste side of it but to also now manage the hunters, and to manage that gate, and so again we come full circle with my budget is to make sure that I have a facility that is not getting broken into that people that want to throw away their scrap metal that, you know, if they – somebody mentioned earlier that we never had solar panels but there was a facility in Pahoa that had solar panels that was taken – not at Volcano and there was, um, office there that had their water tank taken, but, that’s even more of a reason why we want to have a secured facility and so a lot of the things that we’re seeing here is not – we’re not off base – we’re all agreeing for the same thing… AA: Mike? Abraham – District 5. Sorry for the interruption but we just got to wrap this up – wrap up this conversation we’ve got to move on… MK: Yeah… TN: Abraham, Teresa from Kona. AA: OK. Make it quick, Teresa. TN: Yeah, real quick, what is the difference between the costs of the ongoing repair and the cost of security? Would the security offset the cost of repair if they did have security there? Cause if they had security and cameras that were would it mitigate repairs having security there? Just a question… RM: All right, yeah, it’s a good question but just to let you know we usually don’t intend to budget for purposely understanding that somebody’s gonna damage our fence. AA: OK. RM: You know, if you don’t throw a dollar figure in the budget with the idea you know somebody’s purposely is gonna go and damage the fence. TN: Well… AA: OK, OK, OK. Thanks Teresa, thanks Ramzi. Um, so… BL: Abraham, can I get in? AA: Only if you’re real quick Brian… BL: OK. Brian – District 4. Hey, as a certified old guy you know every step counts when you get old and you know when it may not seem like a long walk but when you’re humping meat out at the end of the day it does make a difference for older people and I assume there’s power at these facilities, correct, electricity? 16
