Ms. <br />Kierkiewicz said right now Big Island Biodiesel imports cooking oil from the mainland <br />and turns that into fuel here. She also stated jatropha is being planted in Kea‘au. Mr. <br />Perry does not think jetropha is an efficient source. Ms. Kierkiewicz said they are <br />looking into algae, too. <br /> <br />Meeting recessed at 2:44 p.m. and reconvened at 2:50 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> Discussion held and recommendation amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Given that a significant portion of all imported oil is used for transportation, <br />expedite the conversion of the County’s fleet to electric vehicles and/or <br />biodiesel wherever possible using a local producer which will contribute to <br />a diversified economy and sustainability for local agriculture through <br />cultivation of biodiesel-related crops. <br /> <br />Motion and Vote <br />: Ms. Kierkiewicz moved to approve the <br />recommendation as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Mitchell <br />and all Commissioners present voted aye. <br /> <br />S.
