Ms. Kahakalau: Alright. Do we have a motion in regards to that petition? <br /> Mr. Robinson: Motion to approve. <br /> Mr. Adams: Second. <br /> Ms. Kalele: Second. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright. Discussions please. <br /> Mr. Adams: So if I could...one I would state for the record that as member of <br /> the Civic Organization. We have engaged Mr. Hara <br /> services...Hawai`i Printing Corporation. On occasion he has <br /> provided those services as a contribution to the Civic Organization <br /> in a charitable way. That would be my connection to the <br /> organization. I don't see the need to recuse myself as a result. <br /> Could you explain to me the process by which...what we're <br /> talking about in terms of the procurement...the kind of <br /> procurement it is and how it operates? <br /> Ms. Akiyama: So in this situation...it's a little different because for all printing <br /> services in the County. The purchasing department procures all of <br /> those services. So the County departments don't even engage in <br /> that. So when I have a need for printing services, I would call the <br /> purchasing department and they would procure the services. <br /> Mr. Adams: And then Ms. Hara...do you have anything to do with procurement <br /> whether it's in office or whether it has...within the County? <br /> Ms. Hara: No I do not. <br /> Mr. Robinson: You just jogged my memory Mr. Adams. I also have utilized the <br /> services of Hawaii Printing through the Kona Coffee Cultural <br /> Festival and written checks. They printed items for us as well and <br /> I'm a Board member of the Coffee Festival. Third level removal, <br /> but I just wanted to disclose that as well. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I just had a question for Ms. Hara. Do you have any connection <br /> specifically with Hawaii Printing Corporation in the business. <br /> Ms. Hara: No I do not. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Okay thank you. Do we have any other questions? <br /> 22 <br />
