Chair Bowles agreed and asked Commissioners Stabos or Pomroy to forward <br />their suggestions or questions to Commissioners Robinson or Kaoiwi to ask the <br />Chief. <br />Chair Bowles suggested that the commission focus their attention to budget or <br />personnel related issues before other routinely received matters. One of Chair <br />Bowles’ ongoing concerns with respect to the budget has been the position of the <br />unions and he believes that they’re headed for difficult times. Chair Bowles <br />removed himself from the Budget Committee and stated that Commissioner <br />Robinson is very capable and can confer with him at anytime. <br />DCC Gonzales added that he recalls a meeting with the Fire Commission <br />sometime last year when Mr. Bertsch was the chair, and remembers some of the <br />committee discussion. He agreed that if there are no reports being made, it might <br />not be necessary, however he pointed out that a positive aspect would be to have <br />it included on the agenda as a matter of course so the topic could be discussed at <br />the meeting. If a matter came up relating to public relations, and it’s not <br />specifically agendized for that meeting, it could not be discussed at the next <br />meeting and if the commission doesn’t meet every month, the date when you can <br />legally talk about it is pushed back because of Sunshine Law. Having the <br />Committee listings on the agenda every month as a matter of course gives the <br />flexibility to address it at any commission meeting. <br />At Chair BowlesÓ suggestion, the commission will continue having Committees <br />listed on the meeting agenda without names attached. Committee assignments <br />will be assigned accordingly. <br />Office Management and Staffing (Bertsch) No report. <br />Rules and Policies (Rosehill) No report. <br />Public Relations (Pomroy/Bertsch) No report. <br />Training and Education (Bertsch) No report. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 10, 2010, at 10:00 <br />a.m., <br />at the Liquor Control Conference Room, Kona Center, <br />75-5722 Hanama <br /> <br />Kailua-Kona, HawaiÒi. <br />Place, <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting ended at 11:45 a.m. <br />RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY: <br />__________________________ <br />PAULETTE CAINGLIT <br />Secretary <br />12 <br />
