Chief Oliveira stated that he met with the Legislative Auditor regarding the concerns. <br />Public Safety Districts may create political rifts within the districts. Meetings to be held <br />with Aaron Chung to get feedback and ideas. <br /> Office Management and Staffing (Fergerstrom/Wallace) <br />None. <br /> Rules and Policies (Kaoiwi) <br />None. <br /> Public Relations (Ward) <br />Commissioner Ward reported that Nancy Pissichio brought up the issue if an individual <br />or corporation can donate equipment and/or money through the Sayre Foundation to a <br />specific individual or district. With respect to the thank you letters that Chief Oliveira <br />sends Commissioner Ward asked if it would it be wrong to include in the letter that the <br />Sayre Foundation is seeking donations. <br />Corporation Counsel Ashida stated that there needs to be another avenue to seek <br />donations and not hold it over their head that there is a source to donate money. This <br />would be unethical. The code of ethics needs to be followed. If it is directed to the <br />public at large, itÓs ok; however, individuals should not be targeted. County government <br />is not in the business of fundraising. If the government gets too close to activities that <br />involve fundraising, it should not be done. Government depends on taxes and grants, <br />not donations. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />None. <br />ACTION ON EXECUTIVE SESSION MATTER <br />None. <br />PUBLIC STATEMENTS <br />None. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> The next meeting is to be held on Wednesday, August 14, 2002, at 10:00 a.m. at the <br />Liquor Control Conference Room, Hilo Lagoon Centre, Hilo, Hawaii. <br />5 <br /> <br />
