<br />HERKES: You can lease equipment.
<br />IRVINE: Okay.
<br />HERKES: And I have no intention of hiring anybody that isn’t totally connected.
<br />RAY: Roland.
<br />HIGASHI: So the idea is we’re going to have a drop-off area in Hilo and Kona where people can put
<br />their written comments.
<br />RAY: Yeah. That covers -.
<br />HIGASHI: That. Okay.
<br />RAY: The physical hand-off, but I don’t think we’ve fully explored, you know, the telephone and the
<br />other communications, you know, how all that’s going to work, right? So, you know, that’s a major -. I
<br />mean, are we going to have a published number?
<br />HERKES: I would hope so, but it doesn’t have to be anywhere; it could just be a phone number, and
<br />then it can be accessed from anywhere.
<br />RAY: Okay. So can your committee look into that?
<br />HERKES: Sure.
<br />RAY: How we might, you know, set that up?
<br />HERKES: Well, okay, we’ll look into it.
<br />RAY: Okay, so right now, it’s basically being handled through the Mayor’s Office, through the
<br />Information Office, and there, you know, it’s being routed to them. So -, and they clearly would like us
<br />to take responsibility, you know, for that, right, so you know, we need to set up some mechanism where
<br />somebody calling for, you know, information or contact with the Charter Commission has a direct line,
<br />you know.
<br />HERKES: Right.
<br />RAY: To us, whoever us is, you know. But certainly, at least somebody that’s going to, you know,
<br />receive and promptly respond, you know, to calls. Yeah, Eddie.
<br />ALONZO: Mr. Chair, I know some clubs have these phone system where they call this number, then
<br />like an answering machine plays back their message, or if someone calls the office, and they wanted
<br />information about anything with the Charter Commission, they can leave their name and phone number
<br />and some, maybe the office personnel, comes in, got to listen to the messages, and maybe she can, da
<br />kine, call them up and refer some of the -.
<br />RAY: Yeah.
<br />ALONZO: Information to them.
