commissioner represents a district and may hear from the community or the <br />rank and file. The proposed draft is similar to the Police Chiefs Evaluation. <br />Commissioner Okabes experience with being on the Fire Commission as <br />compared to the Police Commission is the fact that the Fire Chief presents an <br />overview of the Fire Department and its strategic plan to new commissioners. <br />The drafted proposal that he and Commissioner Maedo created allows new <br />commissioner the chance to evaluate the Chief based on that presentation. <br />New members may not have the opportunity to visit the stations and meet <br />with the personnel. The drafted proposal allows those commissioners the <br />perspective to simplify the areas of the evaluation more clearly, rather than <br />the previous evaluation, which was in narrative form. <br />Commissioner Okabe recommended that the commission review the drafted <br />proposal this month and have further discussion on this matter at next <br />monthsmeeting. <br />CommissionerBertschsuggestedthatChiefOliveiraaddareportupdateon <br />the strategic plan at the monthly Fire Commission meetings.

He asked Commissioner Maedo <br />to clarify whether she was requesting that Chief Oliveira provide rank and file <br />input at the October meeting. <br />Commissioner Maedo responded that she would like input from the Chief <br />regarding the draft document. Also, regarding a numerical rating, she <br />commented that the Fire Commission responsibility is to rate the Chief. His <br />responsibility is to make sure all of the stakeholders are in the collective <br />process. It is a tall order, because of the strategic plan that the Fire <br />Commission is so proud of. The Fire Commission is able to be a prototype <br />for all the other departments because there is a successful <br />performance-based measure that allows the evaluation direction to be <br />clearer, and the commission can articulate it to the public. <br /> Familiarization with the Civil Defense Emergency Operating Center. <br />· <br />The Fire Commission was provided an overview by the Civil Defense <br />Agencys Plans and Operations Officer Neil Gyotoku and Staff Officer Duane <br />Hosaka following the meeting. <br />PUBLIC STATEMENTS <br />None <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> The next meeting is to be held on Wednesday, September 12, 2007, at <br />· <br />10:00a.m.,intheLiquorControlConferenceRoom,Kailua-Kona,Hawai'i. <br />8 <br /> <br />
