Chapter 3: OPERATIONS ARE LEAKING AND ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF REPAIRS AND PAINTING." A Maintenance Work Request dated March 3, 2005 for Yano Hall stated: "Paint the roof (3). ANNUAL REQUEST". The Department's First Quarter Evaluation Report dated October 1, 2008 stated: "Yano Hall: This past year we have had a lot of rain in Capt. Cook. In the days when my office was located at Yano Hall, it would pour rain almost every day. It would rain so much, that rain would wash in one door, and out the other. It seems that maybe we are returning to rainier days up mauka. Regardless, the roofs are leaking worse than ever. I was in an [staff member's] office and could see water dripping through the white particle board ceiling. We cover his computer and other office machines to keep from sustaining water damage. The termites are getting worse. We find new piles of termite leavings all over the complex." The Department's Third Quarter Evaluation Report dated April 15, 2009 stated: "Yano Hall: Our roofs are getting worse, and we have had a lot of rain this year. The roofs need repair and painting." The Yano Hall facility manager reports that roof repairs have not been completed prior to the conclusion of our audit fieldwork in May 2011. Honomu Gym is another example of neglected roof maintenance and repair. The Department's First Quarter Evaluation Report dated October 1, 2008 stated: "Honomu Gym roof has several 1" by 2" long holes which rain falls through onto the floor. The sky can be seen by standing below these holes. If the roof is not changed more water damage will occur. The water runs down the inside of the gym and behind the Electrical circuit breaker box." The Department's 2nd Quarter Report dated January 6, 2009 stated: "Honomu Gym roof has many leaks and water falls through onto the floor. Rain flows down the internal wall into the circuit boxes. The electrician has covered the conduits and panel boxes with tarps." The Department's Third Quarter Evaluation Report dated April 15, 2009 stated: "Honomu Gym roof has several long holes which rain falls through onto the floor. The rain water runs down the inside gym walls and onto the electrical circuit breakers. The sky can be seen by standing below these holes. If the roof is not changed more water damage will occur. The roof is not safe for the Parks carpenters to do repairs." 13
