HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 10 of 41 <br />might be an area that we could enlist the help of high school bands instead of the County band. <br />However, that’s very controversial because it’s been there as a historical part of our life. But rather than <br />having the language that refers to County bands, meaning more than one, I would have you look at that <br />in saying we should have one County band. <br />The last area that I want to call attention to, the others you can review that was presented, but perhaps <br />this is the time that we need to grow and look at developing within the County structure a Department <br />for Human Services and look at what services would be combined under that office. Our example relates <br />to the Office on Aging, although it’s not under my department, or our department. We do have the <br />Elderly Activities Division, which is more human services than it is that pertains to the division, and this <br />might be consolidated under one office or one Department of Human Services. Other activities that <br />could go under there is developing a volunteer coordinator that would take care of all volunteer <br />programs that are conducted within the County of Hawaii. It could go on and on, but I just tickle you <br />with that idea. And that’s all I have. Thank you. <br />RAY: Okay. Questions? Mr. -. <br />SANTANGELO: Just real quick, what was that, the first one you brought up? Where was that? <br />IRVINE: Page 11. <br />TULANG: That’s a miscellaneous section. It’s Section V dash -. <br />SANTANGELO: Thank you. <br />TULANG: Six point two. <br />SANTANGELO: Thank you. <br />RAY: Other questions? <br />IRVINE: Yes, I do have a question. Concerning the Safety Coordinator, right now, that’s a separate little <br />department. <br />TULANG: It’s a separate little department. The Safety Coordinator is appointed; it’s co-terminus with <br />the Mayor. And so, you know, it could be every four years, it could be every eight years. But what <br />happens is the people who are affected by work comp cases are your regular employees, and we have -, <br />for example, we have a few isolated cases in our department that’s going on 10 years and needs to be <br />settled or dealt with. <br />IRVINE: So you feel it would better if they were under the Corp. Counsel’s Office? <br />TULANG: Yes. <br />IRVINE: Yes. <br />TULANG: And that the position would be one that had continuity to it. <br />IRVINE: All right. Your second point that you had given us was concerning minimum requirements for <br />the position of Deputy Director and Director. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 5-19-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
