it's been there as a historical part of our life. But rather than having the language that refers to <br />County bands, meaning more than one, I would have you look at that in saying we should have <br />one County band. <br />The last area that I want to call attention to, the others you can review that was presented, but <br />perhaps this is the time that we need to grow and look at developing within the County structure <br />a Department for Human Services and look at what services would be combined under that <br />office. Our example relates to the Office on Aging, although it's not under my department, or our <br />department. We do have the Elderly Activities Division, which is more human services than it is <br />that pertains to the division, and this might be consolidated under one office or one Department of <br />Human Services. Other activities that could go under there is developing a volunteer coordinator <br />that would take care of all volunteer programs that are conducted within the County of Hawaii. It <br />could go on and on, but I just tickle you 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 <br />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 <br />now, that's a separate little department. <br />TULANG: It's a separate little department. The Safety Coordinator is appointed; it's <br />co -terminus with the Mayor. And so, you know, it could be every four years, it could be every <br />eight years. But what happens is the people who are affected by work comp cases are your <br />regular employees, and we have -, for example, we have a few isolated cases in our department <br />that's going on 10 years and needs to be 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 />12 <br />
