Deputy Corporation Counsel Self reminded the Commission that per the <br />ordinance, one of their duties and responsibilities was to explore methods of funding land <br />acquisition and make recommendations to the Mayor. <br />Commissioner Flores asked if there was anything they should include in the <br />criteria form or assessment of the property that would help them out. Commissioner <br />Flores stated besides making sure the TMK numbers were correctly identified, was there <br />anything else that should be included in the initial submittal of their forms. <br />Mr. Yuen stated it would be helpful if people would identify groups that were <br />interested in the area and who were knowledgeable about the area. Mr. Yuen stated if <br />they had that information and if they needed further refinement to make it a priority, the <br />County would know who to talk to. <br />A recess was taken at 11:45 a. m. <br />Reconvened at 11:57 a m. <br />DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br />Stanley Iwamoto of the Department of Finance reported that $6000.00 was <br />budgeted for this year's committee operations which included meals, mileage and <br />meeting costs. <br />Land acquisition costs were 2 million dollars which included 1 million from last <br />year and 1 million for this fiscal year. Specific acquisition needed to be appropriated by <br />the County Council and additional funds may be available from the general fund. <br />Mr. Iwamoto stated in other words, if they were interested in purchasing a piece <br />of property that cost 5 million, since they had 2 million available, the administration <br />could go to Council and submit a resolution for another 3 million to purchase the <br />property and the County Council would have the has final say about the 3 million. <br />Commissioner Schuster asked how much the Commission spent last year on <br />committee operations and Mr. Iwamoto replied that last year's budget came out of the <br />administration. <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />Commissioner Walker stated page 1, line 4 should be culture, page 4, first line, <br />apiece should be one word and page 8 under communication 6097, the paragraph after <br />that, line 2 should be trail. <br />Chair Replogle stated it's not Nahele Advisory Council, it's Na Ala Hele. <br />Commissioner Flores stated page 3, second paragraph, 4th line, it's Ike Aina <br />instead of Eke. <br />12 <br />
