M. Gleason said that a question was brought up at the end of the meeting. Do we <br />want to tackle the issue of transportation? It was decided that no because it was <br />such a big issue and it will take away from the work of what is being done for these <br />facilities. It needs to be a separate issue probably with the Department of <br />Transportation. <br />Copies of the draft 2006 Interagency Action Plan for the Emergency Preparedness <br />of People with Disabilities and Special Health Needs will be distributed to MCPD <br />members. <br />T. Spinola-Campbell mentioned that there was an article in the Hawaii Tribune <br />Herald and the West Hawaii Today about the Civil Defense Agency and the Citizen <br />Emergency Response Teams that they are going to be actively soliciting and <br />recruiting people in the community to get involved in this. <br />F. ELECTION OF OFFICERS <br />Nominations were made from the floor for the following positions: <br />Chair € L. Scadden <br />Vice-Chair € J. Staten <br />Secretary € L. Tobosa <br />D. Cowdrey made a motion to accept the slate of officers. L. Tobosa seconded the <br />motion. The motion was passed. <br />G. COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP <br />After some discussion, MCPD decided to defer this issue to L. Scadden at the <br />November meeting and the committee could have more feedback from B. Whitney <br />about her status. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />A. BUDGET ESTIMATES FOR FY 2007-08 <br />L. Scadden and J. Viernes will work on the budget estimates for fiscal year 2007-08 <br />and the two-year period thereafter. <br />M. Gleason suggested that MCPDreview the budget in April to ensure that funds <br />dont lapse at the end of the year. <br />T. Spinola-Campbell reported that Mayor H. Kim provided opening remarks at the <br />budget meeting and his message to the departments when preparing the budget is <br />to consider making the Big Island a nice place to live for the people who live here. <br />T. Spinola-Campbell stated that she has an Assistive Listening Device that she <br />could loan out to the county departments. However, it may be difficult if someone <br />needed it for Kona. Perhaps MCPD could purchase one device with leftover funds. <br />4 <br /> <br />
