MS. EOFF: The Sheraton charge per day is $460. The videoconference --I don't know how much that will cost - -it is done by Out of the Sea Media and we would have to hire them. They bring all the equipment for that and Val didn't know the exact cost, but it's fairly expensive. She wasn't sure if there were any procurement laws we would need to follow before we hired them. CHR. HAITSUKA: I'm trying to think if there is another way to do it. The Council goes over to Kona when? MR. HOOKANO: In September, they go to Kona on September 1st and 2nd to have their meetings. CHR. HAITSUKA: I was wondering if we could use the facilities on the same days. MS. EOFF: If their meeting was done early enough. CHR. HAITSUKA: Mr. Hookano. MR. HOOKANO: I don't think we can predict with any certainty how their meetings are gong to go on those two days. CHR. HAITSUKA: So, we know how much it would cost to rent the room, but we don't know how much it would cost to get the electronic equipment. So, are there any suggestions, discussion on what to do with the Kona meeting? MS. JARMAN: It looks like we're not going to be able to piggy -back it on with another meeting. MS. KAWAUCHI: Mr. Chair, unless we pick a different day, would that work? If we think that's a good idea to save costs, if we pick another day to piggy -back. Would the Council Chambers be available? CHR. HAITSUKA: Which Chambers are you talking about, the Kona? MS. KAWAUCHI: I think so. Our options are the Liquor Commission meeting room, or the Sheraton Keauhou, or I guess the school might be another option. The Council Chambers are at the Keauhou Sheraton, is that what they usually use? MS. EOFF: That is where the Council normally meets. MS. KAWAUCHI: I guess in my mind I thought there was a different meeting room. MS. EOFF: The Kona office is pretty small. Once we set up the tables for the Commissioners, there would be only maybe enough room for eight to ten more people from the public. 20
