<br />Ad Hoc Committee Reports <br /> <br /> Employment ad hoc committee: <br /> J. Navarro <br /> stated that the most important thing for their committee is <br />meeting with the HR person from the County to try one last time to give <br />some more input as to why the county applications are really difficult for <br />the disabled population to utilize. Mayor Billy Kenoi was given a lot of <br />good information, formally and informally about the economy and how it <br />effects our population, employment wise. The disabled are the last hired <br />and the first let go when things get tight. Two people on the committee <br />have recently been employed. They both had disabilities and were <br />serving because they wanted to tell us how hard it was to get a job. <br />Another person on our committee is Val Poindexter who is running for <br />County Council who has a daughter in our program. She really gets what <br />it’s like to have to try to maneuver through the system. So if she wins her <br />election, that’s wonderful for us. <br /> <br /> Jean stated the committee learned that our community health centers <br />were not at all ready to receive persons with hearing impairments to get <br />services. So with the right resources some headway was made about <br />services. This was done through the committee. <br /> <br /> Education ad hoc committee: <br /> P. De Lima <br /> stated that they didn’t have anything to report. <br /> <br />Transportation ad hoc committee: <br /> <br /> E. Hanoa: <br /> There is no report since the committee has not met. <br /> <br /> Recreation ad hoc committee: <br /> <br /> No report. <br /> <br /> Housing ad hoc committee: <br /> <br /> No report. <br /> <br />Planning for October and November meetings and further meeting <br /> <br />It was decided that the committee would use the goals the they submitted in the <br />February meeting, and present a report showing accomplishments and <br />recommendations that the committee wants to see happen. Everyone should <br />have their preliminary report for the October meeting and have a presentation to <br />the Mayor in November. <br /> <br />Report of the County of Hawai‘i, ADA Recreational Specialist, <br />Alisa Mitchener <br /> <br />T.
