HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 13 of 69 <br />RAY: So that people can -. <br />HERKES: Well, we thought of a box or a file box at the County Information Offices. <br />RAY: John. <br />SANTANGELO: Okay. A couple things. One is with the 19 hours, I think it’s -, Gary, if we show good <br />faith at 19 hours, but once in a while that goes over 20, as long as it’s not three consecutive pay periods <br />it’s okay, right? <br />YOSHIYAMA: Yeah, as long as it’s not continuous. <br />SANTANGELO: Okay. And then as far as the office space goes, I know there’s some concern about <br />that. I’d just like to weigh in on -, I’m open to hearing how the other committee members feel but I also <br />would like to show an example of these are austere times. We need -, you know, this is a really <br />important job if we do it right, with the Commission, but I think we need to be very, very aware of the <br />value of money today. You know, this Council is really struggling with a huge budget problem, and I <br />wouldn’t want to be a part of that problem. <br />RAY: Yeah. <br />SANTANGELO: But by the same token, I really want to be open to how committee members feel. <br />RAY: Well, I think when you’re talking about office space, we were talking about a desk, you know, <br />and when I discussed with Rudy, I asked him to look into, you know, file cabinet and the drop-off <br />mechanism or whatever, and he didn’t seem to think that would be a problem. So, in fact, I think he may <br />-. <br />HERKES: And that’s what we need, yeah. <br />RAY: Already have something for us. <br />HERKES: Yeah. <br />RAY: You know, I don’t anticipate that being a problem, Marni. <br />SANTANGELO: So within the County Building itself? <br />RAY: Yeah, yeah, right. <br />HERKES: And on both sides of the Island, within the County Building in Kona, too, because I want to <br />emphasize that one of the reasons that I’m so strongly in favor of this is to make this an island-wide <br />effort, is to not headquarter it in Hilo is to make it in the Hilo County office -, in the Hilo County <br />Building and the Kona County Building so people can feel that they can be involved in both places they <br />can call. <br />RAY: Okay. <br />HERKES: Kona phone numbers of Hilo or phone numbers. They can drop them off on either side. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 4-14-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
