Hawai`i County Charter Commission -5 November 9, 2018 <br />MS. SAKO: They have been reviewing the, yes, they have been <br />reviewing the grant applications now but someone still has to manage <br />those and review those, and make sure they are being complied with. <br />MS. RICE: I see. Okay. Thank you. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Commissioner Galimba. <br />MS. GALIMBA: Hi Director Sako. There's also been some discussion of <br />using funds from the PONC, the two percent, to hire a staff person, I <br />believe it would be perhaps within your department or within, or the <br />PONC Commission is part of your department? Do you see any problem <br />with that as far as procedurally? <br />MS. SAKO: Hiring a staff person to... <br />MS. GALIMBA: Administer the PONC program using PONC funds, the <br />two percent fund. <br />MS. SAKO: Currently we do have a staff person assigned to the PONC <br />Commission and also looking over the PONC purchases and currently our <br />internal staff are doing that, so, but yes, if there was you know to be a staff <br />person or something we wouldn't be opposed to that. I am not sure, I <br />would have to go back and read the way the Charter is currently written, <br />but are you talking about an additional amendment or just the use of those <br />funds? <br />MS. GALIMBA: Yes, it would be another amendment that hasn't come <br />forth yet. <br />MS. SAKO: Okay. Yeah, I think we wouldn't be opposed to that. <br />MS. GALIMBA: Thank you. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Alright. Thank you Director Sako. Any other <br />comments? Okay. So that's the Communications. Any comments on <br />Communication No. 16, which is Item No. Six? Okay, I would just make <br />the point that that's excellent work. Right. Let's move into Unfinished <br />Business. <br />UNFINISHED The Chair directed the Commission to proceed to the next order of <br />Page 27 <br />
