<br />\[2:20 p.m.\] \[5\] STATUS REPORTS OF PERMITTED INTERACTION GROUPS <br /> Discussion: PIG Report deadlines and timelines were discussed as the <br />Commission’s final report submission deadline to County Council is October 26, <br />2022, for hearing at the November 15, 2022, County Council meeting. <br />5(a) BUILDING DIVISION – Comm. Herbert status: The consultant report will <br />be delayed, October or later. The PIG will submit their independent findings and <br />recommendations ASAP. <br />5(b) INFORMATION TECH. - Report Submitted. The IT PIG presented its <br />findings and recommendations, which will be deliberated and decided upon at the <br />September 29, 2022, meeting. <br />Discussion: Commissioners agreed that the IT PIG Report looks good. Comm. <br />Wakat Top Takeaways: Department is underfunded, with a notable salary gap – <br />Hawai‘i has the highest COLA with difficulty in attracting talent. The Konno <br />Decision prohibits contracting IT support off-island. <br />Comm. Herbert noted the report could expand upon the idea of a central inventory <br />system– to include all lifecycle management, across all Departments/Division <br />Comm. Wakat cited the testimony from Debby Hecht, with the suggestion of a <br />(Managing Director) position established to be tasked with the continuity and <br />completion of priority projects across Administrations. <br />Comm. Matson will send her grammatical edits to the IT PIG report to Comm. <br />Wakat through the Commission Secretary. <br />\[2:56 pm\] Technical Difficulty – Connectivity Lost / Meeting in Recess <br />\[3:04 pm\] Chair Konowicz called the Commission back from Recess with Quorum <br />\[3:05 pm\] 5(c) DEM – Report Submitted. The DEM PIG presented its findings and <br />recommendations, which will be deliberated and decided upon at the September <br />29, 2022, meeting. <br />Chair Konowicz Top Takeaways: The Konno Decision restricts the County in <br />many ways, including Wastewater solutions; the contract with HI Earth Recycle <br />(2036) is not delivering as written. The County spends millions of dollars on <br />traffic and engineering studies but has no index/library established to access these <br />reports. Per Director Mansour, employees tend to abuse the sick leave policy, <br />especially during the holidays, which creates challenges. <br />Comm. Obenski noted that again, there is no central inventory for physical and/or <br />intangible assets of the County. Inventory is critical – Purchasing by each <br />Department/ Division individually is neither efficient not cost effective. <br />5(d) COUNTY FLEET – The County-wide Fleet PIG will submit a report of <br />findings/ recommendations ASAP <br />5(e) BOARDS/COMMISSION – The B&C PIG will submit a report of findings/ <br />recommendations ASAP. <br />5(f) REVENUE- Chair Konowicz recapped: There are three (3) areas of <br />recommendation cited in the 8.25.22 Report: (1)Rental Cars, (2) Vehicle <br />Registration, and (3)ATV fees <br /> <br /> <br />
