words? Just briefly, we do have Gary Mitchell here from Mental Health Kokua if
you have any questions. They just recently acquired an apartment building in
Alahou (Street), you know, behind McDonalds called Hamburger Hill they have
named the Kona Safe Haven. It is a transitional housing for single adults with
severe and persistent mental illness who meet eligibility requirements established
by the Department of Health, Adult Mental Health Division? So the program is a
housing for startup, and it will provide supported housing for homeless adults for
ble to support their initiative. They have
been going through the legislature for the last couple of years without the needed
funding. But they finally got the funding most recently, so if there is any
questions we do have Gary Mitchell here to answer some of those. But I just
wanted to give you a basic background. Mr. Mitchell,

CHR. KANUHA: Ms. David.
MS. DAVID: Thank you, Chair. This resolution and I believe the next two is
basically for the Summer Fun program for Nlehu, Kahuku, and Phala areas. I
thank the testifiers that have come before us to explain the need, and I ask for
your support for this important program for our kids. Mahalo.
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you, Ms. David. Any other discussion? Mr. Onishi.
MR. ONISHI: I have a question for Ms. David, if I could ask her.
CHR. KANUHA: Sure.
MR. ONISHI: Okay. This funding is for them to pay their activity fees?
MS. DAVID: Yes. I was told it was for the registration, to help the parents with
the registration fees, and to pay for some of the materials that the kids would
need. I understand that they did not have summer programs last year, because of
pay for the fees for each child.
MR. ONISHI
, or the people wat?
MS. DAVID: Well the enrollment I understand, the fees for each child. They
were trying to assist them as much as they could, but when I went out to Kahuku
and spoke to one of the personnel out there, they mentioned that they had no
Summer Fun last year.
my contingency, so that at least in Phala, Nlehu, and Kahuku they would at
least have an opportunity to get summer fun program this year.

MR. ONISHIwhat should be. You know, we
providing the county with recreation, Summer Fun programs for whatever
facilities that we have in the whole island. So like in my district, I got them to do
all day Summer Fun, like from 7:30 to 5:00, for the working families. I know
they have to pay an activity fee, say if they go down to the movies or something
like that. They collect that ahead of time, so all the children can go. Instead of
like I guess a select few that would be able to go.
MS. DAVID: Exactly.
MR. ONISHI: But then they also charge maybe like $100 or $120 to register your
child in that program, bsically to help offset expenses. But you know,
P&Rrecreation has funding for staff, and for all the supplies and materials.
Because in the past when I had to provide funding, I was told that I was giving
money for supplies and equipment for the next year and not for that present year
that I wanted them to have this all day Summer F
them, why am I paying for expenses for the next fiscal year? To my
registrations it goes for the next following year and not for this year. Because this
year already they have the funding. In fact, they already purchased most of the
materials and supplies already. going to have that. What is
the hours that they going to be providing?
MS. DAVID: After school.
MR. ONISHI: Oh, this is for after school, or during the Summer Fun?
MS. DAVID: Summer F
MR. ONISHI: So this is during the summer time?

that he would
you sort of a sense where I was coming from. I wanted to get a little more history
Page 48
-36March 16, 2016
on when we were aware of this being lead contaminated, and sort of the timeline.
I know there was fire in this location. That seems to be what started it. I know
there was questions, once we knew there was lead contamination. For example
whether the Humane Society was informed of this, which is very close to that
want to get into Flint, Michigan type of situations w
ead and air contamination is particularly serious.
ne is on that. As my
understanding this is the location that Dr. Kopp, or this general area, to do the
homeless, his whole program to do the micro units. And which sort of gotI
the
administrations more in favor of doing like permanent housing, and not a shelter
lift-up program.
So I think that sort of seems to fizzle out unfortunately. But that got me thinking
about, you know, what is this? I wanted to know, will we be able to use this land.
I mean
we could add on another few departments here, you
know, $6 million meant
that it would be useable for somet
to the Humane
in the paper today really sort of picks up on it, and got more questions going. So I
felt just to be accountable for all of the things like lead poisoning, and the dangers
and the risk and municipalities sort of letting it slide. I just want to be as
accountable to the public as we can, so I thought if we could ask Greg or someone
to really sort of clarify a little bit more about it and what the prospect for the land
is. Ae doing the cleanup, what happens with those around it and
what the risk is.
And if you still want to go ahead and vote
few more answers.
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you. Ms. Eoff.

Finance requesting us to waive it and expedite it. So what I think we could do is,
postpone it then.
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you, Ms. Eoff. Mr. Onishi.
MR. ONISHI: My last comment would be, if that was so important, then why
