o District 6: Dr. Bennett stated the poster given to Commissioners was presented at a <br />scientific conference. It's a good example of the University doing good and stepping up. <br />There are dumpsters by the Keauhou boat ramp which fisherman are dumping fish parts <br />inside and it has eaten a whole in the dumpster so it's not leaking and draining into the <br />ocean. Director Kucharski stated the dumpster does not belong to the County since we <br />don't service the harbor. Vector control has been called so they will look in to it. Dr. <br />Bennett asked if fish waste is eligible for the landfill. Director Kucharski answered yes. <br />o District 9: Chair Fritz stated he is surprised at the number of appliances dropped off at the <br />Puako Transfer Station every week. Estimates about 30 — 50 appliances. Chair Fritz asked <br />where the appliances go. Director Kucharski stated they go to a scrap dealer for <br />reprocessing. A SWD employee has suggested retailers put a County surcharge on white <br />goods like we do for tires, so that it can help cover some of the costs. <br />o District 5: Ms. Osborne stated her district faces the same problems as noted by Mr. Olson <br />in that the bins are always full. <br />o District 7: Mr. Vidgen stated people are very interested in the sewage spills and it has <br />become an enormous concern. People are also very interested in Bill 13. <br />7. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br />a. Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan - October <br />• Ms. Osborne asked if Bill 13, Draft 3 can stay on the agenda for August. <br />• Mr. Olson would like to have a discussion on how to get more funding for both divisions. Ms. <br />Osborne stated it should be broad because she would like to see more funding for education. <br />8. MEETING ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />August 23 Hilo Puna Conf.
