V. STATE DOH HEER — No report Hilo Medical Center — HMC held a hazmat drill last month in conjunction with FEMA training. He noted that if any contaminated patients are brought to HMC, they would need to go through decontamination located outside the morgue entrance. HSERC - Sharon stated that there was the NASTTPO conference in April. Only Maui LEPC attended. She also stated that there is new EPA legislation in regards to the clean water act near chemical plants. VI. NEW BUSINESS Chemical Safety Day — Chair Gerald announced the upcoming Chemical Safety Day training that will be on Oahu on June 15 and 16''. Initially the training was thought to have been a one -day training session but Sharon corrected and stated that each of the two days will be covering a separate topic. Jay requested that we send at least 6 HFD hazmat personnel to cover each shift in each battalion. Chair Gerald also solicited interest from the committee if anyone would like to attend. Being that there was no interest, Reed Mahuna suggested that we offer two more positions to attend from HFD. Chris estimated that on the high end, the cost that would cover air, hotel, per diem, and car, would be approximately $650 per person. With that estimate, the total cost for 8 attendees would be $5,200. Reed made a motion to allow for up to $5,200 to send 8 attendees to this training. Keoki seconded and motion passed. Chair Gerald reminded the committee that all attendees shall submit a report upon their return stating a summary of the training and how it would benefit the department and community. VIII.
