2014-12-04 Cost of Government Commission Minutes

million a year, but when we factored it out over the life of a landfill or the life of a waste reduction facility we felt that over the long run that it was a better fiscal option then a landfill. Hauling I think is initially cheaper, but you have to look at whether you’re shortening the life of the landfill on the other side of the island and then incurring a new expense over there. So I’m sorry I wasn’t able to really give you a finite answer, it’s partially we got to get the bid in then you have to do that cost comparison of what your other alternatives are. Ms. Maddox: Any other last questions for any of the three? No, John, you’re good? Mr. Mitchell: All good. Thank you very much, well done. Thank you. Ms. Maddox: Anyone else? No, then thank you very much, we appreciate you taking so much time. At 1:58 p.m., Chair Maddox called for a five minute recess. Meeting reconvened at 2:03 p.m. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES (11-06-14) Motion and Vote: Ms. Kierkiewicz moved to approve the minutes of the November 6, 2014. The motion was seconded by Mr. Espejo and all commissioners present voted aye. 5. DISCUSSION REGARDING SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS WITH VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF GATHERING INFORMATION FOR THE FINAL REPORT Mr. Perry asked to defer his report on the Department of Water Supply to the next meeting on December 11, 2014. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION REGARDING PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS AND FORMAT AND CONTENTS OF FINAL REPORT A. Develop and implement a computer tracking system for County vehicles within significant departments and/or County-wide. Mileage reports are to be mandated and timely. Mr. Mitchell stated this was a carry over and that they were going to look at Maui’s model. He said the Maui Managing Director had very good information; a lot of the information put in the Maui news is authenticated meaning those numbers is very accurate. He needs to get an update and will be ready for the next meeting. 15
