Cost of Government Commission February 14, 2019 meeting minutes decisions I have decisions based on my position in the company plus I have a credit card that I can charge a certain amount of money on that also has shown that approval but there lies the difficulty that I came across with getting this permit so I had to find a way around that so she said I could look at my bylaws and find where it says is the bylaws where you have this responsibility so I was going this is crazy this is nuts there is no reason for this to happen. So I spent hours and hours doing this anyhow yeah. McIntosh: Do you feel better now? (1:13:01): A Side comment we might be very (?) here I think that is a check on (?) which I think would have happened but when you say that you come from a worldwide company. Greg: If you pay for the dump, you are cleaning up the place, God. (1:13:24): I agree, it is nuts. Jones: okay, any further comments or questions on health education welfare. Alen: I just wanted to remind you all so I am a (?) member for (?) health care and this (?) in Hilo is considered the worst one financially in the state because it has so many senior advantage members those senior advantage members the increase in the population has taken place because a lot of aging people on Oahu and Kauai and other islands who have bought homes 40 years ago and now their homes are worth 7 or 800 thousand dollars can buy a home on the big island free and clear and put 250 or 400 thousand dollars in the bank so there is a migration of people from urban areas who are selling and migrating here and taxing this particular health care system so I have talked to their administrators so they don’t seem to have an understanding on Oahu so they will no build more exam rooms and those kind of things like local facilities but there is a migration of seniors here because of the cost of living for housing is something they can pay off and put some money in the bank for themselves and I see now on my own street I have a senior who just bought a brand new home they sold a 1000 sq foot in Waikiki condo and they bought a 1000sq feet and a 2000sq foot home in HPP with a yard first time they have ever had a yard. For them they paid a lot of money and paid for one of their grandchildren’s holiday vacation by the sale of that so just as a FYI in your report we are not just seeing our we are not just getting an aging population from here but we are also the recipient of a state wide migration to a lower cost housing which we provide. Jones: Thank you Mr. Allen 17
