4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> a. Petition No. 2016-12: Request for an informal advisory opinion from a <br /> County officer or employee, to determine compliance with Section 2-83 (c)(1) <br /> of the Hawai`i County Code because her husband is an independent <br /> contractor who would like to submit an invitation for bid for Parks & <br /> Recreations Project No. 3453. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Is the applicant here? Petitioner here? <br /> Ms. O'Dell: Yes. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Would you like to make a statement before we proceed? First, I <br /> guess you have a right to a closed hearing or an open hearing. In a <br /> closed hearing we would ask everyone to leave the room. The <br /> choice is completely yours. Open hearing is okay? <br /> Ms. O'Dell: Yes. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Alright...thank you for that then. So if you'd like to make a <br /> statement...Alright. <br /> Ms. O'Dell: I'm not really sure what I should say....but basically when I <br /> submitted this...there was an invitation for bid that was out. It has <br /> since closed and basically it's for the Parks & Recreation to do tree <br /> trimming. The only thing that I'm involved with my husband's <br /> business is just basically keeping his books. I don't have anything <br /> to do with doing the actually work or doing estimates or quotes. <br /> My job capacity with the County is basically with the Vehicle <br /> Registration and Licensing Division which is under the <br /> Department of Finance. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Okay members any questions? Mr. Adams. <br /> Mr. Adams: Sure. Do you know if your husband actually submitted a bid? <br /> Ms. O'Dell: Yes. <br /> Mr. Adams: Okay and I would assume that he included some statement that a <br /> petition had been filed with the Board and the Board would be <br /> taking it up...taking this... <br /> Ms. O'Dell: Yes. <br /> 2 <br />
