being handled by Human Resources...I'm assuming that if it's <br /> Human Resources driven...then that means that the County sees <br /> each of those individuals whether it's someone with benefits and <br /> full-time or somebody who is as in this situation...a limited period <br /> of time for project coordinator kind of thing or anything that <br /> Human Resources handles...that that individual then is an <br /> employee in this definition and that it would need to be someone <br /> who's not in...handled by Human Resources perhaps is handled as <br /> a project or professional services situation under <br /> procurement...that would be an independent contractor...I'm <br /> assuming that...but I don't know that. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: So my understanding is that Mr. Andrade is an employee of the <br /> County...hired as a contract hire...is that your understanding Mr. <br /> Andrade? Yeah so for the purposes of our code interpretation...this <br /> applies to him and I think we can move forward. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Any further discussion? If not I call for the question. All in <br /> favor... <br /> Mr. Adams: I'm sorry Madame Chair. For the purposes of counsel and the <br /> preparation of the order...again the key is that we created a <br /> firewall...the firewall in this situation is that the individual is...that <br /> Mr. Andrade here is working...is a contract hire in Parks and <br /> Recreation...the work that he's...the bid that he's doing is in the <br /> Department of Environmental Management Solid Waste <br /> Division...that's where the contract would be held...there is no <br /> connection between his job as an employee of the County and his <br /> work as a contractor for the County but in the Department of <br /> Environmental Management. I think that...that creates a firewall <br /> that we're looking for in the code. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Madame Chair if I may. Thank you member Adams for providing <br /> that basis for the opinion. So basically there's no conflict of <br /> interest resulting from the officer or employees positon with the <br /> County as per Section 2-83. Also board members I know we've <br /> talked about this before in the past...as far as the scope of this <br /> opinion because Mr. Andrade has been here before...he asked a <br /> general question...we told him to come back with a specific <br /> situation...he's here now...as far as other contracts that he might <br /> be interested in bidding...I don't know if he is...I'm just throwing <br /> it out there because he has been here twice. Does the board have <br /> any guidance it wants to offer Mr. Andrade for the future? <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Mr. Robinson? <br /> 10 <br />
