Exterior paint discoloration was the only <br />damage and trailer is still operable. <br />SCRAP METAL PROGRAM: <br /> <br />Smith requested Gonsalves review contract and monitor vendor to ensure he meets <br />contract requirements since the full operation is not expected to begin until June, 2003. <br /> <br />Small empty gas/propane canisters can be discarded as scrap metal. <br />KEALAKEHE FIRE: <br /> <br />A fire of suspicious nature was extinguished after burning white metal and old car piles. The <br />tires did not catch on fire. <br /> <br />The price to remove the burned scrap metal increases because it has been contaminated with <br />rocks and other debris which is hard on grinding equipment. <br /> <br />Placement of fire breaks is being considered. <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />6. : <br />DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING DISCONNECTION OF <br />WATER SERVICE WHEN SEWER FEES ARE DELINQUENT AND CHANGING <br />WASTEWATER FEES RESPONSIBILITY TO PROPERTY OWNERS: <br /> <br />See discussion under 5.
