Cost of Government Commission February 14, 2019 meeting minutes (58:45): Composting is a critical part of environmental management area composting from the agricultural standpoint will actually cut back on pesticides so you take your food waste your green waste and start making the compost you start using that and you have the compost that you have because you have to make the cycle to get to that point there are other companies (?) that are already using this technology. So again it is going back to the statement that Larson made about utilizing other entities information and experiences (59:32): I would like to see that on a university level so when you get a degree in ag it is because you have gone through that it is not just jump smelly dirty hands but it is part of saving planet earth. I would like to see that as part of the university curriculum instead of waste for the poor Hawaiians or the poor guys that handle (?). (1:00:00): The 2 full benefit if you have a good compost system is you are keeping your food waste and green waste out of the landfills and you are then reutilizing and recycling. (1:00:09): and I am aware of many community owners that are doing that. I see that but I am thinking my goodness it should be at the university level. You got a degree in ag. You have taken that course. It is a high level thinking process (1:00:26): Teaching our kids how to compost properly and how to do it like that is definitely what part of the ag should be (1:00:33): Anyway I am moving to that and talking about it because that is how it is Jones: Thank you Mrs. Woo. I would like to recognize the investigation operating principle under A for sanitation it is very well written by I believe this is Hawkins very well written and I believe that is what Mr. Takemoto has mentioned is that we are trying to bring our recommendations back to an overall operating principle of what we are trying to do to help this county. And I think this is very well written and I hate to see it as part of the indent I wish there was room for an actual recommendation but truly this is where it belongs. The addendum that we create should be supportive of a simple worded recommendation that just takes up a few lines so going into detail or justifying or whatever you want to say it really does belong in the addendum so I assume that all of us are going to create some agendas to go along with our recommendations and they will be at the back they will be the whole report will be you know this to me is the right way which is what we have been heading towards the recommendations are clear and concise at the beginning of the report and the addendum to support those recommendations are in the back. So if you are wondering how to write that that is a really good example of where we want to go so I appreciate that. (1:02:22): Not only do we have good information from (?) we have a great outline. 14
