Ms. Sweeney: Good morning. Did you want this a closed hearing or <br /> open? <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: It's now an open hearing so you can stay online Kohala. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Ms. Sweeney: Thank you. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright Mr. Kendrick if you could please just give us a <br /> short summary of your petition please and introduce <br /> yourself. <br /> Mr. Andrade: My name is Kendrick Andrade. I'm currently an employee <br /> of the County of Hawai`i, contract hire. My petition <br /> basically is to figure out at the same point, I'm also a <br /> general contractor. I'm trying to figure out at what point is <br /> there conflict of interest if any for me to be able to bid on <br /> County projects in the future. And at what point does my <br /> employment as a County employee become some conflict <br /> and basically where I need to either leave the County or not <br /> bid as a general contractor. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Mahalo. First of all thank you for coming and checking on <br /> it. It's always good to be pro-active and solve those <br /> problems before they actually arise as an issue. So I'm not <br /> too sure...Do we have any of our seasoned members here <br /> to give some advice? <br /> Mr. Adams: Thank you. Not sure if that makes me salt or spice. Mr. <br /> Andrade as a general contractor the typical agency that you <br /> would do the bid on, is it any of the agencies, is it most of <br /> the agencies? What are the agencies that you're looking at? <br /> Mr. Andrade: Right now I work under the parks and recreation. For me it <br /> would be basically any agency. If I choose to bid on a <br /> Public Works project or P&R project, I don't want to have <br /> a limitation. <br /> Mr. Adams: And you've had a chance to take a look at the Section 2-84 <br /> that is a conflict of interest in the Hawai`i Code? <br /> Mr. Andrade: Yes. <br /> 5 <br />
