And then in the Office of Information, we do have a drop-off box on the front counter, it's there
<br />now, and everything should end up there. We do have a good system of moving documents back
<br />and forth from Hilo to Kona, where I am most days, so we can pouch stuff over to the Mayor's
<br />Office on a daily basis, so that's very convenient and that works well for me. And we can save on
<br />postage that way, corresponding with the County departments and whatever. Instead of having to
<br />mail stuff, I can just pouch it back over and get it back. So that works out well. So, hopefully,
<br />those two situations will cover our needs logistically, assuming the administrative assistant we
<br />hire, you know, has all the, you know, home office capabilities that we need. Does that seem
<br />reasonable to everybody?
<br />HERKES: Yeah. The only thing I was going to say is that next time you talk to the
<br />press, I think it would be important to make a point of the fact that we have drop-off places on
<br />both sides of the Island for anyone that would like to comment, so that they -, just to kind of start "
<br />to talk about how accessible we are.
<br />RAY: Okay. Yeah, I think that's a good idea and, you know, additionally, maybe
<br />we should kind of formally decide, you know, what other, you know, documentation, you know,
<br />that we may want to be available. I know we had talked about past Charter Commission minutes
<br />being available, you know, in East and West Hawaii, and that is not the case presently. So if
<br />that's something we want, then we need to get copies of those made and work out, you know,
<br />where they're going to be if people want to go in. And is just the past Charter Commission okay,
<br />or do we need to go back to the one prior to that? That's four volumes of the one prior or -.
<br />HERKES: I think if anybody wants the prior ones, they can ask for them. I don't
<br />think we need to make them available.
<br />RAY: Okay.
<br />HERKES: What is -, do we still charge $3.00 for County Charter booklet, or $6.00?
<br />RAY: I believe it's $3.00.
<br />BERKES: Three dollars.
<br />RAY: And they are available at the Mayor's Office in West Hawaii and the
<br />County Clerk's office in East Hawaii. But all of those things we need to, you know, make part of
<br />public notice or, you know, you mentioned letting the press know. We can do that, as well, but
<br />you know.
<br />SANTANGELO: John, point of clarification. On that Charter, have we publicized well that
<br />it's on the Web, because there -, if you have access to a computer, it's free.
<br />RAY: We have not, and I think we're waiting to, you know, get out some sort of,
