<br />RD: There’s also other funds which includes boating special fund – includes highway tax rebate fund <br />to boaters and the off-highway vehicle fund. <br /> <br />SW: OK. So, it would appear, that the better motion – if you’re going to follow my suggestion – <br />would be a motion for GMAC to contact DLNR to speak about these the funds. <br /> <br />RD: A point well taken. I think we have a motion on the table… <br /> <br />SW: We don’t have any motion right now. <br /> <br />RD: I’d like to make a motion. I’d like to make a motion that we request – that we pursue inventory <br />account and audit records for hunter/fisher and gatherer public funds – it will fill the public’s <br />right to know. <br /> <br />LT: Leomana, District 3, I’d like to second that motion. <br /> <br />AA: Open for discussion. <br /> <br />SW: Deputy Corporation Counsel, Sylvia Wan. As far as that particular motion the initial motion <br />another copy of Commissioner Duerr’s proposal? <br /> <br />?: \[Unclear\] <br /> <br />SW: So the request to inventory account and audit records for hunter/fisher and gatherer public <br />funds – just those particular items appear to be outside of the powers and authorities of GMAC <br />which is to advise – sorry – I brought up the Charter on my phone – however, you can – that’s <br />why the suggestion is that you – you have to bring it back to the county and you effect on the <br />county – so my understanding after speaking to you Mr. Duerr was that these particular funds <br />are federal funds and they are dispatched to the State through our DLNR is that correct? <br /> <br />RD: Right. They’re through grants. <br /> <br />SW: Through grants… <br /> <br />RD: And then from DLNR it comes to Hawaii County. <br /> <br />SW: So, it would appear, that if you want to gather this type of information the agency that should <br />be contacted should be DLNR. <br /> <br />RD: No, ah, no, the funds are actually federal funds, and the federal funds have audit requirements <br />that are conducted on a regular basis – once every three years – once every 5 years… <br /> <br />SW: Ok, and so what’s the point of the audit records to the county? <br /> <br />RD: The point of the audit records to the county is so that we can see what funds are available in the <br />state and then contract what funds are coming to the County of Hawaii. <br />SW: OK. So then why wouldn’t you just ask the state agency that has those funds how much funds <br />are coming to the county from the federal government. <br />9 <br /> <br /> <br />
