Chief Oliveira replied that there is an ordinance process. First, the <br />donator is acknowledged, which goes on record. Second, the equipment <br />is put into the county€s ownership so that it can be maintained and <br />supported. All equipment needs to be compatible and reliable to the <br />needs of the department. The ordinance process is stressed because of <br />safety. <br />Commissioner Fergerstrom asked Corporation Counsel Ashida if it were <br />illegal for a county agency to accept donations without going through the <br />ordinance process. <br />Corporation Counsel Ashida stated that this was called the resolution <br />process.

The donor will be put in contact with someone who <br />can assess and evaluate the piece of equipment. <br /> Puuanahulu Volunteer Company: Temporarily relocated their apparatus <br />· <br />to a member€s residence until a formal agreement is made with the <br />Community Association. <br /> Milolii Volunteer Truck: An investigation was conducted and found that <br />· <br />the Milolii Volunteers was sent the wrong part and no one advised the <br />shop of this.
