There was no opposition by the Commissioners. <br />Taniguchi: Motion carried. <br />The motion was carried unanimously. <br />Nahale-a: (10:25 A.M.) Item No. 9, Transient Vessel Licenses issued. There are none <br />for this meeting. <br />IX. Announcements <br />Meetings of Liquor Commission <br />Is <br />Nahale-a: Next meeting of the Liquor Commission is February 7, 2019, at 10:00 A.M. in <br />Hilo. Following that will be March 7, 2019, at 10:00 A.M. here in Kona. Just to remind <br />everybody, we're on a different schedule than we had been on for the last several <br />years. <br />February 7, 2019, 10:00 A.M., Meeting Room, Department of <br />Liquor Control, Hilo Lagoon Centre, 101 Aupuni Street, Unit 230, <br />Hilo, Hawaii. <br />March 7, 2019, 10:00 A.M., Meeting Room, Department of Liquor <br />Control, West Hawaii Civic Center, 74-5044 Ane Keohokalole <br />Highway, Building B, 2nd Floor, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. <br />Takase: Yes. I will wait until July to decide which way we'll be going, because of our <br />budget. We were having all our annual meetings in December in Kona and the Mayor's <br />office was concerned that we were "over -favoring" the west side. I will find out after the <br />budget (process is completed). If we have to go back to Hilo, we'll stay in this alignment. <br />We may be able to flip back and forth, but we'll figure it out. Probably at the July meeting, <br />if it's going to be switched back, we'll do it then. Right now, we'll stay in this alignment <br />and we'll notify you if we go off again. <br />Nahale-a: Sounds good. <br />Greenwell: Does it create a financial stress? When we were on Water (the Water Board), <br />they used to say that it cost a lot of money to bring everyone to Kona versus having the <br />meetings in Hilo. <br />Takase: For the annual one, it does cost more. But maybe not a financial stress. We <br />have the money budgeted so we can do it. It costs more, not so much from the <br />Commission's standpoint, but it's the staff that comes out because we're based in Hilo. <br />This past year's (cost of the annual meeting) was a lot less. I don't think we used all of <br />what we budgeted for. My understanding is that we're coming back to Kona this year, <br />but we have to see what happens with this budget. I'II have a better idea. <br />JANUARY 3, 2019 — LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 23 <br />
