V. STATE <br />DOH HEER — Gerald reported that there was a spill at the Kona airport of only a <br />gallon outside due to a vehicle collision. However, there was up to 400 gallons that <br />leaked within a confined catchment area. HFD did not respond since all of the fuel <br />was contained. The HEER OSC Terry Corpuz was notified of this incident. <br />HSERC - Sharon stated that there will be training by the state Ethics Commission. <br />They would like everyone trained, especially new commission members. Sharon <br />also stated that the training for the recent past Chemical Safety Day is now available <br />online. <br />VI. OLD BUSINESS <br />Chemical Safety Day — Chair Gerald reminded Chief Okinaka to submit the reports <br />from those HFD members who attended the past Chemical Safety Day training on <br />Oahu. This is a requirement for all LEPC funded training. Chief Okinaka said that <br />he will follow up on this. <br />VII. NEW BUSINESS <br />HFD Request — Chief Okinaka requested funding from the LEPC to replace the <br />Canberra radiological personal monitors for the hazmat team. He stated that these <br />monitors are assigned to each individual to monitor the cumulative amount of <br />radiation over a person's career span while assigned to the hazmat team. The cost <br />per unit is approximately $1,000. He requested 15 units that would be a total of <br />approximately $16,750. David Cummings moved to approve up to $17,000 funding <br />from the LEPC to purchase these monitors. Tom Gilmore seconded. Further <br />discussion was that these units are compatible with the units used by the state Rad <br />team and that they would be able to calibrate these units for HFD. <br />Past request — At the close of the last meeting, Chris Leonard requested a copy of the <br />LEPC budget. I shared this budget with the committee for the period ending on May <br />31, 2022. The closing fund balance was at $86,663.98. Gerald noted to the <br />committee that our budget is comprised of tier II fees from companies that store <br />hazardous chemicals. This fee increased in 2017 through legislation. Sharon <br />informed us that we should be receiving a check for last year's fees soon. <br />VIII. NEXT MEETING —Scheduled for November 2, 2022. This will be our final meeting <br />for the year. <br />IX. Adjournment - Meeting adjourned at 9:53am <br />
