essence. You'll be making full disclosure in any contracts as well. <br /> So it seems that that's what the intention is and we have to give <br /> some degree of clarity in the interest of full disclosure. You've <br /> disclosed it all...it's all in the public record. I just don't how we <br /> get back to the contract thing. <br /> Mr. Adams: If I could ask Ms. Gloor a question. As a land use planner, what's <br /> your connection with the other departments? So we can talk <br /> specifically about these for example...the ones that were identified <br /> in the petition...Parks & Rec, Environmental Management and <br /> Public Works. Do you have any connection in your work with <br /> those departments? <br /> Ms. Gloor: In the long range division, primarily my project is the Hamakua <br /> Community Development Plan. So at times I may communicate <br /> with the other departments. I also work on other aspects...it could <br /> be the general plan. So at times I communicate with those <br /> departments about their...say infrastructure issues and such. So <br /> there are times where they overlaps with something that might be <br /> engineering, but not on a direct contract basis ever. I don't make <br /> decisions about upcoming contracts or in that way guide those <br /> kinds of improvements as such. <br /> Mr. Adams: For discussion purposes. This becomes a gray area for me. We're <br /> now gonna talk general. We're not gonna talk you. When there is <br /> a situation where you have an officer or employee of the County <br /> and their engaged in work that is collaborative with other <br /> departments within the County which is what you'd like to see <br /> basically. But at the same time, we have this situation where you <br /> have someone who is a family member as defined by the code. In <br /> the private world, you want to also engage with the County as a <br /> contractor. In the past, I've tried to see where is the...where's the <br /> barrier...where's the firewall...I guess I've used as a phrase to <br /> ensure that we are...well to ensure that there is a bright line <br /> between what's happening with the County officer or employee <br /> and what's happening with the family member contractor. I'm <br /> concerned about these gray areas messing up my very nice firewall <br /> and as a result I'm more likely...given the new code that we have <br /> to side on the side of a firewall then a gray area. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you. <br /> 13 <br />
