2011-04-08 Cost of Government Commission Minutes

Home

was just commenting about my impressions but I don’t think you can take my opinion and say this is where it stands. The whole commission has to be introduced to the concept and I can tell you for sure that there is an energy component in this plan and we talk about energy a lot. MS. O’HARA: We understand. I think what you basically gave us is that there are synergies between the Energy and the Ag and it’s up to us to decide whether we want to make this recommendation and so I think that’s fine you don’t need to address it. MS. POMEROY: Okay. All right. MS. NICHOLSON: Anything else? All right well thank you Kathie. MS. O’HARA: Yes, thank you Kathie very much. MS. NICHOLSON: Thank you for taking the time to come and visit us this morning. MS. POMEROY: No thank you, all the way from North Kohala. MS. O’HARA: Thank you very much then. MS. POMEROY: I appreciate your work too. MS. O’HARA: Chair, can I bring up a point out of order? MS. NICHOLSON: Yes. MS. O’HARA: Mr. Buklarewicz arrived late for the statements from the public and he has some material that relates to item 12 on our agenda. I don’t know if you would be willing to take it out of order or how you want to handle this but he does have some information. MS. NICHOLSON: Well we would be going back to statements from the public. MS. GARSON: No, actually you can take item 12 out of order. He came for discussion on e- waste and pay as you throw? MS. O’HARA: Yes. MS. GARSON: Because you already passed public statements. MS. NICHOLSON: Okay so if the rest of you agree we will jump to item 12 and get that one out of the way. You all understand I do need to leave at noon to catch a flight. MS. O’HARA: Okay, we’ll make it fast. MS. NICHOLSON: And Paul understands that too. DISCUSSION ON E-WASTE AND PAY AS YOU THROW PROGRAMS: MS. NICHOLSON: Okay would you like to come join us and introduce yourself and tell us what you’re talking about. 13
