OLD BUSINESS <br />Darwin Okinaka requested for LEPC funding for CAMEO training for a total of <br />$20k. He stated $6k would be to bring the instructor to Hilo and $12k would be for <br />manpower overtime. The other $2k is a buffer. Jordan inquired if this was the norm <br />for the LEPC to fund for overtime costs. Gerald stated that in the past, the LEPC <br />funded only the cost for the training and not for overtime costs. He also stated that <br />there may be other equipment, etc. that the money may be used for in the future. <br />Chris Leonard suggested splitting the amount and approving $10k. Jordan agreed <br />with this. Chris later amended the motion to include the stipulation that the approval <br />of this $1Ok would be contingent on the Fire Chief approving the funding for the <br />remainder of the total cost. Motion was carried and approved unanimously. <br />VII. NEW BUSINESS <br />VIII. NEXT MEETING — Date TBD. Thank you to Liz for setting up our zoom meeting. <br />IX.
