Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 5 <br />February 14, 2008 <br />Mr. Kalua told OVS that everybody has their own representatives, councilmembers and <br />Mayors so if they want to be a part of the package it should be put in altogether, but he <br />didn't want to wait. <br />West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery III <br />Mr. Highley asked the status of the budget request to allow a later closing of Veterans <br />Cemetery III. <br />Director Engelhard responded that P &R is requesting for $25,000 to close Veterans <br />Cemetery III which is in the budget process. She is unsure as to how successful keeping <br />it there would be. She said that the Department of Parks and Recreation will present <br />their budget to Council on April 3'd (sometime between 9 am and 12 noon) and the <br />Mayor will present the overall County Budget on April 1st. If the funding passes <br />through the budget process, we will contract the closing of the cemetery for 7pm. <br />Mr. Highley asked if there would be public hearings relating to the budget. <br />Director Engelhard said there will be public hearings and he can go to the County <br />website: www.hawaii- county.com to get the public hearing schedule. (CORRECTION. <br />At the meeting Director Engelhard said budget public hearings are held all over the <br />island, however, this year there will be (one) public hearing held on March 24`h at 5pm <br />in the County Councilroom in Hilo and will be Videoconferenced to both Waimea and <br />Kona Council Office sites.) <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />None <br />NEXT MEETING <br />The next meeting will be held on March 20, 2008. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Meeting adjourned at 3:35 pm. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />NathalielScwitos -, Secretary <br />
