Phone (808) 935-6841, FAX (808) 961-2437 <br /> s <br /> December 17, 1997 <br /> C. <br /> <br /> Testimony of Paul Panui Unit 03 emolovee speaking in favor of Resolution 185-97 relating to <br /> funding of cost items for baraaininE units 03.04. 63 and 84 <br /> My name is Paul Panui, and I am a Marine Cargo Specialist working for the State of Hawaii, <br /> Department of Transportation, Harbors Division. I work at the Hilo Harbor, and my position is <br /> primarily responsible for pier utilization services. <br /> In my job, I do all the scheduling of whatever comes into the harbor---whether it's a yacht, the barges, <br /> any pleasure crafts, passenger ships, cargo ships, military ships. You name it, if it comes into Hilo <br /> Harbor I've had more than something to do with it. I prepare the documents that are sent to the various <br /> companies who utilize Hilo Harbor for purposes of collecting dockage fees, passenger fees, and port- <br /> of-entry fees. Cruise ships alone generated revenues of over $15 million dollars in 1997. In 1998 we <br /> anticipate $25 million dollars. I work under the District Manager, and I have no subordinates to assist <br /> me. I am grateful for our office staff that provides clerical support. The office staff and I, although our <br /> duties are quite different, are all in Unit 03. <br /> We ask that you please fund the pay package items that are before you today. We work hard, we work <br /> diligently and we do our best to work efficiently. You have to---with as small a staff as ours. Thank <br /> you for your time. <br /> J~ J~ ~~~z~ <br /> Paul Panui <br /> cam. y. 582 . l~ <br /> ru. N..a PO S <br /> Ret. 7of resenf_ <br /> n~~~~~- <br /> Ret. bate DEC 1 7 1991'' <br /> <br />
