L. Tamimi mentioned that one of the things that the federal government is doing to help <br />prevent discrimination is having employees take an online educational quiz once a <br />year. <br />T. Spinola-Campbell stated that the Department of Civil Service recently hired a new <br />trainer and he is working on different online training possibilities for county employees. <br />Face to face training will also be held. Furthermore, a three-day internal investigation <br />training course was concluded for a number of supervisors. <br />T. Spinola-Campbell reported that her yearly statistics for 2004 included a combination <br />of 96 inquiries and complaints (90 were based on the ADA, 3 were on other civil rights <br />laws, and 3 were question mark that they violated any law). <br />STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON NON-AGENDA ISSUES <br />L. Tamimi reported that she is trying to get a couple of people together to help them in their <br />planning process for a campsite. She would like a more diverse group of people since <br />only L. Scadden responded to assist with the planning process. B. Whitney suggested that <br />L. Tamimi contact Disability Rights Hawaii. She offered to contact two people who are on <br />the Center for Independent Living board of directors in Hilo to help since they both have <br />different kinds of disabilities. <br />J. Souza asked if there is an announcement about their next meeting on the internet. <br />L. Tamimi replied it’s not announced because this is one project she is working on. This <br />project encompasses five or six acres on Namakanipaio campground with approximately <br />12 campsites. There are toilet and shower facilities. The two old buildings will be <br />upgraded so that they are accessible. They will also provide two proper accessible <br />campsites. The campsites should be ready within the next two years. <br />J. Matsui suggested coordinating with Kulani Prison for assistance from the inmates. <br />L.
