required...whether this building material is appropriate in the <br /> County etc. That is handled by the Board of Appeals which has <br /> special jurisdiction to officiate over disputes regarding decisions <br /> by the Department of Public Works director who is designated by <br /> the code in our County as the building official or the authority <br /> having jurisdiction and that power is delegated to the structural <br /> review and the plan reviewers and the building inspectors for <br /> various functions. So that is my statement for the Department of <br /> Public Works, Mr. Daniel Lee and Mr. Warren Lee. If you have <br /> any questions at this time we'll be available. Thank you. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you. Do we have any questions? <br /> Mr. Adams: I would ask Mr. Lee. Thanks for being here.

Do you have a process for when you decide to do <br /> engineering calculations for process or how do you make that <br /> determination of when it's appropriate to do that? <br /> Mr. Lee: When it's appropriate. Actually calculations are required for all <br /> projects. <br /> Mr. Adams: So let me make sure I miss-understand my question. When you do <br /> the calculations? <br /> Mr. Lee: When I do? <br /> Mr. Adams: Right. How do you make that determination that it's appropriate to <br /> do it? <br /> Mr. Lee: Well...I recall there's been times past where again...you know my <br /> experience is such where I've done a lot of these things...I've been <br /> consulting engineer for about fifteen years prior to my being a plan <br /> reviewer for sixteen...seventeen years...but...basically it's...you <br /> 32 <br />
