HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 19 of 51 <br />doing it, so maybe in the Planning side there might be some reductions but from Public Works, at this <br />particular point in time, we don’t see any. <br />RAY: Sue. <br />IRVINE: Thank you. I do have a question. We’re talking about one-stop shopping. Where is the one- <br />stop on here? I see so many permitting clerks and whatnot down at the bottom, so does someone go to <br />this Civil Engineer up here, for this one - <br />SUMADA: Right now, Commissioner, say for example, like a building permit. <br />IRVINE: Right. <br />SUMADA: You would initially come to our Building Division and they would review the plans, do a <br />cursory review, but then route you through different agencies such as Planning and Fire and Wastewater <br />and Department of Health, those type of agencies, and also Engineering Division in case it’s in a flood <br />zone or to check for flooding. By going through this process, we eliminate some of that routing people <br />around to different buildings within the County, or to expedite that <br />process. So they’ll just go to one counter and be serviced by one specialist, and then the paperwork <br />routes internally within us. Now, if there are special needs, granted, maybe the initial person that <br />received the application would have to refer it to a specialist, but for the most part, that’s, I guess, the <br />concept of one-stop, that they just go to one desk, and the only one we haven’t worked out is the <br />Department of Health, so to speak. <br />IRVINE: I was going to ask, plus you spoke to us earlier about sending Wastewater over to the Water <br />Department, and so then that would head out of your department as well, and I was thinking, with all <br />this moving in, whether you wanted to include Solid Waste with that Wastewater removal you were <br />talking about getting things combined with water? <br />RAY: Let’s don’t get off on that right now. <br />SUMADA: That could make an adjustment to how we process things. <br />IRVINE: Yes, if Wastewater goes, that’s what they were saying already, so even if they don’t do <br />anything with Solid Waste - <br />SUMADA: Possibly. <br />RAY: Kevin. <br />BALOG: Well, just to set the record straight on that. I don’t think that was Public Works <br />recommendation, right? To get rid of Wastewater? <br />IRVINE: Yes. <br />SUMADA: No, it was - <br />BALOG: Okay, well anyway, I want to move on so forget about that. I can’t comprehend that much <br />right now. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 9-29-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
