It was a lot of fun. We had a lot of kids there, but there were four of us so we had to let everybody know we were doing that. So, with that, I ask just notifying `cause we don't need support. We're just notifying. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Right. Okay, then, all in favor to close file on 312 say Ic aye.

Change Order As directed by the Acting Chair and with no objection from the Council of Business: Members, the following items were taken out of order: Bill 74: AMENDS CHAPTER 20, ARTICLE 6, OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983 (Draft 2) (2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), RELATING TO POLYSTYRENE FOAM FOOD CONTAINER AND FOOD SERVICE WARE REDUCTION Proposes amendments to five definitions and the exemptions provisions to address what types of containers and packaging will be prohibited as of July 1, 2019. Reference: Comm. 301.4 Intr. by: Mr. Richards Approve: AWEEMC-6 Motion to Approve: Mr. Richards moved to pass Bill 74, Draft 2, on first reading and adopt Agriculture, Water, Energy, and Environmental Management Committee Report No. 6. Seconded by Ms. Lee Loy. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Go ahead, Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: Okay, thank you, Chair. We are here—and this was discussed at great length during Committee coming forth—and I listened very carefully to our people today. And what we are doing is dealing with a situation to help going forward. One of the concerns is our waste stream coming forward. No one is more concerned about the waste stream than the members up above, our County Council right here. And we have had great length conversations concerning how we're going to manage our waste stream coming forward. I see Director Kucharski's in the audience. I appreciate you being here, Director. One of the problems was with this bill and the intent—Ms. Lanson pointed that out—was that the intent is a polystyrene foam, so-called styrofoam, reduction. I don't want to be misleading in saying it's an absolute ban `cause it's not. It's a reduction plan going forward. But the intention is right and the direction is right, and I don't disagree that we have a concern for that in going forward. What we have here is a bill to adapt what we've done already. And I was very adamant and very pointed that we were not going to change the implementation date. We were not going to change the intent of that, which was reduction of the single-use styrofoam feeding containers. That being said, when the County shifted and we no longer and China—we no longer accepted some of the things we could recycle, this posed a problem coming forward. And reminding ourselves of the intent of the bill and discussing with my Vice Chair Page 5 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder going in this direction to help solve the problem, this industry came to us and said, "We have an issue. We've been trying to go in the right direction, but this is going to be problematic." If you read the original draft of Bill 13, the intention there was to go towards recyclable, and everybody's for that. The problem is what happened when we shutdown our composting ability and, in the accepting of other recyclables, we created a dilemma for ourselves. In that original ordinance, there is no penalty for the use of non-recyclables. It only pertains specifically to the styrofoam or the polystyrene foam. That being said, well, one of the questions posed to us was, "Well, then, why bother if there's no penalty?" The industries came to us and said, "We want to be compliant with law going forward, and this is problematic." And so, in working with them and working through this, we've come up with this. And some of the unintended consequences were kind of alarming. Some of the packaging that we do within our own County would be disallowed under that ordinance. So, this is actuallyI view this as somewhat of a housekeeping bill to get things forward. This doesn't address the larger concern, which is our waste stream management. In conversations with our Director going forward, the comments made by Mr. Elkjer, if I'm saying that correctly, you're spot on. We have a bigger problem of our total waste stream management. And this is a small component of attending to a very small portion of that, but we have a greater problem before us and we are a little island in the Pacific. What are we going to do with the waste stream as a whole? This doesn't attend to that but it doesn't ignore it either, and that's further conversations we have coming forward. So, I wanted to just make those comments because I was listening very carefully. Our intention is to come back and do something on a grander scale in planning for the future. There's going to be no simple solutions. We have a lot of waste stream coming into our solid waste landfills now. We're somewhere around 4, I think, 5 to 600 tons a day, something like that, is coming in. And so, we have to do something different. But this is not an intention to affect that. This is to correct something in the meantime while we attend to that. So, with that, Chair, I will yield. If there's any comments or questions, I'd surely entertain those. Director Kucharski, if you have any comments, or have any questions for the Director, I'm sure he'd be willing to answer those. So with that, I yield, Chair. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you, Mr. Richards. Other comments, Council Members? MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Chair, if I might? ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, going to Hilo, Ms. Kierkiewicz. Page 6 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Chair. I just want to commend Council Member Richards. I know that you met with industry and community over a series of months to really try to get a handle on this. And just to be very clear, with your amendments, you are still keeping intact the original intent of the bill, which is to eliminate styrofoam where we can from our waste stream. And so, I want to thank you for that because it is a step in the right direction. Can we do more? Absolutely. And I think we will. I think that with everything that's happening between various Council Members, even within the Department of Environmental Management, this is an opportunity to even ask the Environmental Management Commission to step up and investigate those innovative options that we have and figure out ways we can strengthen our policy. I think that the business community in general has tended to take a look at the social-environmental consequences of using styrofoam. So, they've gradually, actually, naturally shifted to using biodegradable, more compostable, eco-friendly options, and that's a good thing. I listen to NPR (National Public Radio), and last week there was a segment on the recyclables that we think we're recycling are no longer going to China. They're actually getting brokered out to other developing countries, and to and behold, they don't get recycled there. They get burned. And I certainly don't want our waste stream to be a burden on other places. And so, this is a huge opportunity for us, given our location, to find ways to be better, to be more sustainable, to eliminate our trash. At the end of the day, the larger picture is we need to have a plan. We need to have the infrastructure in place to manage our waste liabilities and turn them into assets. The last thing I'll say is that there is a sense of personal responsibility here too. We can't just rely on government to create policies to penalize community. I think policies are needed to help make those critical paradigm shifts. But there is nothing that precludes us as individuals, community members from making more eco-friendly options so that we tread a little bit lighter on the environment. So, I will be supporting Bill 74, Draft 2, because, like I said, it's a step in the right direction. So, thank you, Council Member Richards, for doing this. Madam Chair, I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: This has been a topic that we've been talking about for a little while, and it's interesting trying to reach a balance between what works for everyone—what's environmentally friendly, what's forward thinking—and it's not an easy decision. Everyone agrees that we'd like to see less garbage going into our landfills. We don't want to see more Page 7 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 polystyrene foam coming in. But some of the polystyrene foam coming in to our island is coming in, in the form of packaging and things that we have no control over as of yet, which is frustrating. And this still doesn't stop your average consumer from going to Walmart and buying a stack of polystyrene plates. That's still an option. So, this is just talking about business. When you start talking about just businesses, you're talking about the businesses that support hundreds of jobs, thousands of jobs on this island. So, this has been an interesting balance between making sure we take care of the businesses that support families and moving towards being environmentally smarter. I, myself, own a business, and we've had problems finding packaging that can handle hot-temperature foods without compromising the package itself. And some of the products, I think we had, what, Mauna Loa macnuts came forward and said, "We can't do our packaging anymore with a "was it nitrogen exchange or nitrogen barrier—"that has an equal counterpart in the recyclable or compostable field." So, there's some interesting challenges the industry needs to address when it comes to how these companies can find a packaging solution that meets their needs that gives them the same guaranty of freshness and quality when they're sitting on the shelf for 12 months or 18 months. And so, there's definitely some hurdles. What I liked about this one, though, in what we've been talking about is moving forward past this. There's other places to go with this as well. If you think about this as a stepping stone and getting us to where we need to be, then this is a great first step. It may not be perfect for everybody, but this is a great first step towards moving towards a better future and that's what I like. I look forward to any community concerns, any community comments, moving forward towards other bans or other areas of interest. I think this is a good stepping stone, so thank you. And thank you, Mr. Richards. I appreciate your energy on this too. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay. Ms. Villegas. MS. VILLEGAS: Aloha. Thank you for being here. I worked side by side with Megan, sweat and tears, moments of hauling thousands of pounds of plastic off of our shoreline, and styrofoam, from all over the world. I want to personally thank you for all that you facilitate and all the people's lives that you've touched and how impactful that is and how much attention you've brought to these issues, and your heart and soul and the passion that you've poured into diligently watchdogging and taking into very keen consideration every single word that's been written and a part of this process. I feel heartened that we're at this point. While a lot of this was written before I ended up sitting in this position, I'm extremely grateful that we are now where we Page 8 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 are. And I commit to you and to our community to continue to legislate to make changes to provide an opportunity for our island to become a model. And to sit here and look at a woman who, on the daily, goes out and shows people what can otherwise just feel like a devastating and overwhelming onslaught of perpetual `opala on our shores, and to constantly be engaging in that battle and not losing hope and not losing sight and not losing enthusiasm for all that you share with so many people. You travel around the world and you represent our island, and you make us very proud. So, thank you for being here, and thank you for continuing to diligently watch and pay attention to every word and every change and hold us accountable. And I look forward to working together and continuing to navigate our way into a healthier community, a healthier society where we don't have to sit on beaches and haul thousands of pounds of debris away. With that, I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Any other comments, Council? No? Hilo? No? Okay, then, I'll just wrap it up by saying I think that the discussion today was insightful, and I believe we will take our efforts to the next step and work with the Commission and the Department on how we go forward. But at this point, I think it's exciting we're going to be implementing our styrofoam ban in a couple of weeks, and we are raising consciousness on our island. Thank you, all. We'll just go ahead and take a voice vote. All in favor,please say "aye" to approve Bill 74, Draft 2, at first reading. Vote on Bill 74: The motion to pass Bill 74, Draft 2, on first reading and Draft 2 adopt Agriculture, Water, Energy, and Environmental (Approved) Management Committee Report No. 6 was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Council Members Chung, David, Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder, Kierkiewicz, Lee Loy, Poindexter, Richards, Villegas, and Acting Chair Eoff–9. Noes: None. Absent: None. Excused: None. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Motion carries. Thank you, everybody. I know it's a confusing situation of what we actually just did, but if anyone has any questions after this we can still talk. Okay, is there any other request for taking items out of order? The guys from the Fire Department would like to take a—which one is it? Which one? Oh, I see. Resolution 202? Oh, no. I mean MR. CHUNG: Madam Chairman? Page 9 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 ACTING CHR. EOFF: Yes, Mr. Chung? MR. CHUNG: We have a request to take Resolution 197-19 out of order here. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, yes, and then I'm just trying to figure out what the firemen are waiting on. All right, let's take 197-19. Res. 197-19: AUTHORIZES THE ACCEPTANCE OF A DONATION OF A CARDSCAN SYSTEM TO THE COUNTY OF HAWAII POLICE DEPARTMENT Donated by the State Department of the Attorney General, Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, with an approximate value of$7,837, would be used to scan manually rolled fingerprint cards into electronic format for processing and searching. Reference: Comm. 325 Intr. by: Ms. David (B/R) Waived: FC Motion to Approve: Ms. David moved to adopt Res. 197-19. Seconded by Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Is there any discussion? MS. DAVID: I believe we have Lieutenant Alan Kimura in Hilo. A waiver was requested. So, Lieutenant, would you just give us a brief overview of this donation? (Note: At this time, Police Lieutenant Alan Kimura came forward to address the members of the Council, via videoconferencing from Hilo.) MR. KIMURA: Yes, good morning, Council Members. I'm Lieutenant Alan Kimura. Currently, we have a cardscan system; however, it's no longer being supported. Therefore, we are seeking to accept a donation from the AG's (Department of the Attorney General) Office for a new cardscan system. MS. DAVID: Thank you. You're done? If you're done, I just want to say thank you to the Attorney General's Office for their generous donation. And thank you, Lieutenant, and I ask for your support, Council Members. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. All in favor of approving Resolution 197-19, please say "aye." Page 10 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 Vote on Res. 197-19: The motion to adopt Res. 197-19 was carried by the (Adopted) following voice vote: Ayes: Council Members Chung, David, Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder, Kierkiewicz, Lee Loy, Poindexter, Richards, Villegas, and Acting Chair Eoff–9.

Reference: Comm. 324 Intr. by: Ms. David (B/R) Waived: FC Motion to Approve: Ms. David moved to adopt Res. 196-19. Seconded by Mr. Richards. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Discussion? MS. DAVID: Yes, thank you, and I'd like to thank—they left already, but I'd like to thank Officer Roy Valera and I think it was Detective Delaries, and I forgot, for coming this morning. This is a great program, and I'd just like to thank the donation from the Friends of the Missing Child Center-Hawaii and ask for your support. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: Yeah, thank you, Chair, and I will echo what Councilwoman David just said. It reminds me of the victims' dog in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, Faith. My other job is I'm a veterinarian, so I see Faith periodically and I'm just a little partial to these programs. So, I'm definitely going to support it. Thank you. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Any other comments? All in favor, say Ic aye. Page 11 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 Vote on Res. 196-19: The motion to adopt Res. 196-19 was carried by the (Adopted) following voice vote: Ayes: Council Members Chung, David, Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder, Kierkiewicz, Lee Loy, Poindexter, Richards, Villegas, and Acting Chair Eoff—9.

Reference: Comm. 318 Intr. by: Mr. Richards Motion to Approve: Mr. Richards moved to adopt Res. 192-19. Seconded by Ms. Lee Loy. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: I'm not going to go real further. First, we have an Officer in the house, so I'll let him describe what's going on and then I'll follow up. So, please. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay. Just state your name for us. (Note: At this time, Police Lieutenant Robert Pauole came forward to address the members of the Council.) MR. PAUOLE: Good morning. I'm Robert Pauole. I'm with the Hawaii Police Department. I'm a Police Lieutenant out of the South Kohala District. I, first off, would like to thank Councilman Richards for approaching the Police Department with this funding, especially for our district. I'd also like to encourage the rest of the Council Members to allow us to accept this money. Page 12 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 Now, let me explain what this item is. Prior to being a Lieutenant with the South Kohala District, I was in traffic for over 13 years. So, it is exciting that my new district now is going to hopefully obtain one of these items. So, what this is, it's a box that has a lock on it, and inside the box is a radar detector to detect speed. It doesn't take pictures of any kind of vehicle license plates or anything. It just collects data. For every single vehicle that passes within this area that we set it up at, we obtain data of all the speeds. We make the decision as to where to place it based on maybe a complaint from the public or a high level of speed-related crashes in an area. And so, what we do is we go, we place this in that area. Normally, it's on a telephone pole, a light pole. Sometimes, we can just affix it within a vehicle and leave that placed there for a period of time. Normally—I've never worked with this item, but I would say a good week's data would be great. Two or three days would also be okay, but you'd like to be able to get not just the weekdays but the weekends too. So, we then take the box down and bring it back and download the data. And the data will, again, tell us whether, one, there is in fact a speed-related problem in this area. Second of all, it may tell us what types of speeds. And most of all, what we really wanted to look for is the date and times that there is a problem. So, at that point, we then deploy our forces in this area at this time on these types of days, and hopefully, we run our speed enforcement and obtain compliance for our presence in that area. And then we move on to the other areas and continuously—`cause, a lot of times we—even though I am the Police Lieutenant in the district, I come from a traffic background. So, I still don't like to sit at the office all day long. I like to get out there too, and I like to run traffic too. But being new to the district, I don't necessarily know exactly where and when those areas are and that officers are needed in those areas. Of course, we could go about Saddle Road and you're going to always find it anytime of the day. But this helps us to deploy forces into the right areas and times. Do you have any questions about this item? ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: Thank you, Chair, and thanks for that explanation. You do a far better job than I did. A little bit of background: District 9, we borrowed one of these I think maybe 18 months ago because we had concerns in North Kohala and South Kohala, specifically Waikoloa Village. And we were able to borrow one from, I think, Kona. As Lieutenant has articulated, we get maybe five or seven days' worth of data. The nice thing about this is there's no overtime cost. This thing stays running all the time. And we were able to articulate where the problems were and at what Page 13 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 times so then they can deploy the people at the right time to slow things down. It also clears up some misconceptions as far as what speeds truly are being traveled. It's kind of shocking how many cars actually go by some of these things. But we plan on using it and helping them get their job done better, and more strategically positioned officers to take care of things. So, with that, I ask for my colleagues' support. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Any other discussion? Ms. David. MS. DAVID: Yes, thank you, Chair, and thank you, Officer, for explaining that. My only question is, how many of these devices do we have on this island? MR. PAUOLE: How many do we have? I don't know the exact number. I was, in fact, the—when I was the sergeant with traffic services, I had brought it in through grant funding, the traffic grants. I believe we brought in, I know, two. One is in Kona, and one is in Hilo. I'm not sure if there's any more out there. MS. DAVID: Is the total cost $2,500 a—how much does MR. PAUOLE: Yes. MS. DAVID: It is? MR. PAUOLE: Yes. MS. DAVID: Oh, okay. MR. PAUOLE: They're a little bit more sophisticated than the ones I brought in. MS. DAVID: I see. MR. PAUOLE: I brought that in maybe six years ago. So, they get a little bit more high tech with the whole, you know, the batteries and the type of radar that is placed in there. MS. DAVID: I'm curious because I think in the rural districts, like in District 6, it's so vast that something like this would give the department some valuable information on the traffic or the areas of speeding and stuff like that. So, I might entertain donating some contingency for my district if you guys can—yeah, this sounds like a good thing. It saves time, and it gives you accurate information so our force is not sent out at times that it would not be helpful in monitoring these things. So, thank you very much. I'll get the information from Council Member Richards. Mahalo. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder. Page 14 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: How does it collect the information? MR. PAUOLE: I'm sorry, I'm not a technical type of person. I haven't even looked inside of this box. I just know there is a radar in there. And if you're familiar with a radar, it's what we mount into our vehicles and we drive around. We obtain speeds of vehicles that are coming in opposite or going in the same direction. How the electronics works so that the data is collected and we download it, I'm sorry I can't answer that for you. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: So, it's just a stationary object and then it senses you going by and registers the time MR. PAUOLE: Yes. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: So you can go back and look at the data later. MR. PAUOLE: Yes, and it will tell you the date that the vehicle came by that was speeding and the exact time. And if you look at it—and I've actually seen one of the printouts because I had asked one of the Hilo officers if they could place it outside my house on Kukuau Street, which is a problem. And he was out there setting the thing up, and cars were whizzing by. So, at that point, after he downloaded the data I was able to look at the spreadsheet that showed the times of days and hours that it is a problem. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Is it small like something you mount on a sign, or is it big like something you would—like the small trailer units? MR. PAUOLE: No, it's a little bit too big for a sign. I think it's about a foot and a half MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: (Inaudible.) MR. PAUOLE: Yeah. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: So, it's something on the smaller side. It's not like the trailer-mounted— MR. PAUOLE: No. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: And it doesn't take pictures of vehicles. MR. PAUOLE: No. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: It's just sensing speed and time. Page 15 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 MR. PAUOLE: Yes. MR. KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Okay. Thank you. MR. PAUOLE: Sorry, I should have thought about bringing a picture of it, yeah. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, any other questions or comments? Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate the conversation. I appreciate Councilwoman David's questions. Same deal. We found some interesting things in our district, and it helped with time-placing officers in the right place. And also, it was able to get rid of some misconceptions, which is probably as much helpful. One thing, for a total cost, it's about 32, 3300 is what the total cost is. And so, this is what I had in my contingency and was able to afford. And I know the department's able to find the rest of the funding for that. But it's a great piece of hardware, and our community officers were able to use it and put it in places and answer problems, excuse me, answer questions that the community had. So, with that, I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. All in favor,please say "aye."

Page 18 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 MR. KIM: It would provide equipment, training, and also personnel costs. MS. DAVID: Thank you very much. That is great, and I'd like to really express our mahalo to Hawaii Tourism Authority and to you folks as well. And I ask for your support. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: I was just commenting to my wife that it seems like every few days you read about someone being rescued or even passing away in the ocean, and I just it's hard for me to see that. And usually, it ends up being visitors who just are not aware of the conditions of our ocean. So, I'm glad to see something like this happening. Maybe we can see more of this from HTA (Hawai`i Tourism Authority) to kind of push the idea that they'll be safe when they come here. `Cause, it's a wonderful place but you've got to know how to enjoy.

YAMAMOTO: This grant is basically a cost-share program with FHWA (Federal Highway Administration); 80-20 match. And we're requesting to waive this out of Committee. Being that this is, like, the third part of two parts that already have gone through Council, one being the 20 percent matching funds as well as the establishment of the account that the Federal Highway portion would be moved through, as well as that I believe these funds have a lapsing date of October. So, we wanted to get started on the project as soon as possible and be able to start drawing down the funds. MS. DAVID: Thank you very much for that, and I thank you for working together with PATH (Peoples Advocacy for Trails Hawaii) on this worthwhile project. So, I just ask for my colleagues' support, and I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: Thank you, Chair. Mr. Yamamoto, who administers the actual handling of the bicycles and all that?

But it was a project that was initiated by P&R (Department of Parks and Recreation) and was forwarded over to DPW (Department of Public Works) being that there were Federal Highway Administration funds involved, which our department is familiar with working with and have the contacts to make this happen. Page 24 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 MR. RICHARDS: Can I ask that you get me that contact information? This is consistent with something I'm working on through NACo (National Association of Counties) and the new Parks, Open Space, and Trails. So, I'd like to find out a little bit more.

(Note: At this time, Property Manager Hamana Ventura, Department of Finance, came forward to address the members of the Council.) MR. VENTURA: Thank you, Chair and members of the Council. Hamana Ventura, Property Manager. We've had the last couple of years to evaluate if we wanted to look into staying long term at Holomua. It came during a time period when we were evaluating whether or not Council Member Richards would be a good fit there. But in talking with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, they felt very comfortable being there and they moved forward on plans to improve the space. And so, we're just asking for a chance to give them the opportunity to move forward with their improvements and to remain at the space. Familiarity, proximity to the Police Department, the community's knowledge and location of their current availability and space. Mahalo. Page 28 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 MS. DAVID: Thank you very much. Based on that, I yield and defer to Mr. Richards if he has any questions. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Any other questions? Mr. Richards. MR. RICHARDS: Thank you, Chair. Thanks, Hamana, for being here. I don't see numbers on this lease. Is that what you're negotiating right now? MR. VENTURA: No, it's been negotiated. It falls within the current budget parameters. MR. RICHARDS: And so, what is the monthly lease? MR. VENTURA: It's going to come out to 45 to 50 annually for both spaces. MR. RICHARDS: Okay. And there were some maintenance and repair issues with that building. MR. VENTURA: Correct. MR. RICHARDS: Are you comfortable? Is the Prosecuting Attorney's Office comfortable with how that's been handled and/or resolved? MR. VENTURA: Yes. We've been in negotiations with the property manager, the landlord. As you're well aware, the former Airgas space is being converted to a restaurant. It is going to open shortly. So, part of that process was to make sure that they were ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. I think they were required to install a ramp and then work on the capacity of the restrooms. So, yeah, talked to Lee Lord, Prosecutors, and they're very comfortable with the location that they're at. That's where they want to be. MR. RICHARDS: Okay. And I had some allergy issues there. That's all been attended to, and things are in order? MR. VENTURA: Correct. MR. RICHARDS: Okay. Thanks, Chair, I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Any other questions or comments?

And I believe if Mr. Director, if you have anything else to add to this process, given some of the comments this morning? Other than that, I think your being here to answer questions is appreciated.

And I'm happy to answer any questions. MS. DAVID: Thank you very much for being here. At this time, I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Council Members, do you have any questions or comments on Bill 75? Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Good morning, Bill. MR. KUCHARSKI: Good morning. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: We've had a lot of very continuous emails from certain members of the community. I don't know if you're aware of that. MR. KUCHARSKI: Yes, sir, I am. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: But I was wondering, do you want to give an update on where we are with this? It's new to me, and I don't know if Rebecca knows or Ashley knows. And a lot of the previous Council Members, they know what's going on with this but I don't. So, I'm watching these emails go by, and I have questions. But without knowing the real backstory and the history of what's going on—what the benefits are, what the drawbacks are, what advantages this gives in the future it's hard for me to make good decisions. But do you think it would be worthwhile to do an update or bring in people from, maybe, above who can explain why we're doing what we're doing and what it is that we're doing and what's happened without getting too crazy? MR. KUCHARSKI: For the record, Bill Kucharski, Director of DEM (Department of Environmental Management). I can give a brief discussion. The first comment is that this is a nondiscretionary project. This is a project that we Page 31 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 have an Administrative Order on Consent with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). We have due dates. We have a full process required by Federal regulation to close large-capacity cesspools, which in Na`alehu exists. The goal is to close them as soon as possible. They were supposed to have been closed in 2005. It is now 2019. EPA has been very patient with the process that we have to go through in the County. In Na`alehu, we have gone through—this is our second prime location that we have put out. The monies that are requested here are for $10 million in addition to our State Revolving Loan Fund. Eight million of that is a direct result of moving the proposed location from close to the school in Na`alehu to an area that we have worked very hard get, to find and to locate. I can go in and talk about why we're doing this, but the fact of the matter is we are complying with the Federal consent decree. And delays in not liking what we're doing, everyone can like or dislike it but we have to close the large-capacity cesspools. And part of the process is to come up with a system that will not endanger the community, that will make the community cleaner and safer. And so, that's what we're doing. It's costing a lot more money than anyone would like to see. I don't know what to say about the fact that we have to spend a lot of money to do the right thing. I can talk to you about any specific questions where we can meet and go over the history. I'd be happy to do that. MR. KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Okay. Nah, let's keep it streamlined. I appreciate that. I'm content. You're pretty straightforward, so thank you. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Any other comments? Questions? MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Chair, if I could just share? I'm sure that all of the Council Members have been inundated with emails from community calling for concerns. And I just want to share that when I got them before these bills came to us in Committee, I did reach out to Corporation Counsel and the Director of DEM, Mr. Kucharski, and they provided a lot of really good information and historical context so that I could feel very prepared in making an informed decision when it came before us. So, I just want to thank Kaena Horowitz at Corp. Counsel and Director Kucharski for taking the time to share. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. All in favor,please say "aye."

ORDER OF The Acting Chair directed the Council to proceed to the next order of business, THE DAY Order of the Day (Second or Final Reading). (SECOND OR FINAL READING): (Note: Bill 80 was taken up previously, out of order.) Bill 64: AMENDS CHAPTER 24, ARTICLE 2, SECTION 24-12 OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983 (2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), RELATING TO VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC Amends "Aliyah's Law"by adding that vehicles with window glazing that is not in compliance with State law and that are parked or operating on public highways may be cited and removed at the registered owner's expense. Reference: Comm. 247 Intr. by: Ms. Lee Loy First Reading: May 21, 2019 Postponed: June 4, 2019 (Note: There is a motion by Ms. Lee Loy, seconded by Mr. Richards, to approve Bill 64.) Motion to Postpone: Ms. Lee Loy moved to postpone Bill 64 to October 16, 2019. Seconded by Mr. Richards. MS. LEE LOY: Chair, if I might explain? Thank you. As I shared in Committee, this bill was developed by Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth. He wanted to be here today, but he sends his regrets. He's on the Mainland tending to family. I also want to take an opportunity to thank the newspaper for giving attention to Bill 64. It actually was a news article that kind of sparked a little bit more attention. And I think some of you have seen emails from various people who run or bike on the road really urging us to approve Bill 64. Page 34 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 The newspaper article also sparked a different conversation, which is something I really wanted to attend to and why I'm asking for the postponement. Under Bill 64 and what's already provided to us within the Code are seven different options that a car could be towed under. And so, what happens is when law enforcement uses these sections, the tow companies will pick up the cars. But now, they're experiencing capacity issues on holding and storing these cars. And the tow companies do support the intent of the bill, but they're looking at ways of how to manage the capacity and storage of the vehicles. And so, I'm going to be exploring options on ways to address that so that we're not burdening a business with these abandoned vehicles and the liability that goes with the storage of these types of cars. We're just enforcing the law, and it kind of comes with a little bit of an unintended consequence as far as how to store the vehicles. I'm actually glad Mr. Kucharski's still here `cause I know that they did reach out to him to see if we could use the Beautification Fund to help them. When these tow companies store the vehicles, they have to go through a Department of Health permit to maintain these cars, and that's a lengthy process too. And so, when I'm putting policy forward, I want to make sure that it has the impact that we want it to have but also really take care of the backend. And all too often, we pass legislation without the funding or resource mechanism. So, with that, I will be asking the rest of my colleagues to support the postponement. That would give me an opportunity to reach out to the various tow companies and look for solutions as far as how to manage what we already are utilizing our current legislation with and then possible funding mechanisms. So, thank you. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Any other comments on the postponement? Seeing none, all in favor please say "aye."

ACTING CHR. EOFF: Ms. Kierkiewicz. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you. Chair, I've been in this position for six, seven months now, and recovery takes up a large part of my work. And we all know, given the numerous presentations including the one yesterday by the recovery team, that there is a lot to do over a very long period of time to support recovery of the Puna area. And so, what I'd like to see this money utilized for is project task management and the tracking of the various expenditures. We're getting a lot of money from various sources where there are different deadlines that need to be met and restrictions on all of those monies. So, this would allow us to be able to track projects and money, but it would also encourage collaboration within the County and also within various levels of government. So, we'll be able to collaborate with State and Federal partners. If you use Google Sheets or Sona, it's like that but a caffeinated version. And I'm really excited about the fact that it will be able to also turn out reports and visuals and upload that to the recovery website and just have this information available in real time. That way, we can keep track of every single recovery dollar that's coming in and share that information with the community. My understanding is that we are creating a very customized version of this software tool called Smart Sheet. It's about 2,500 to $3,000 for startup costs and then there Page 41 Hawaii County Council-16 June 19,2019 is an annual fee of about $1,000 to ensure that we have licensing and access to the software. So, we've got a number of years ahead of us. And so, this would be a great tool to support our recovery work. And so, I'm just asking my colleagues for their support. I also want to thank Director Sako and Director Ley for being available to talk through some of the logistics involved in allocating these funds for that purpose. Thank you. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Ms. Lee Loy. MS. LEE LOY: Thank you. And thank you, Ms. Kierkiewicz, for making this amendment. Both she and I have been sitting with the recovery team, and the software that she's talking about really is a phenomenal tool, as she mentioned, to track the recovery dollars. And I think it just goes a very long way for transparency. As Ms. Kierkiewicz mentioned, we are getting a lot of money, and it is the public's money and we need to be mindful of it. But more importantly, both she and I actually saw a sampling of the software. And as she mentioned, it's a Sona on steroids. It really is a phenomenal tool, and I'm actually looking forward to maybe even some of us on the Council being users on this license. So, like her, I am urging your support. Thank you. I yield. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Any more discussion on this amendment? Seeing none, all in favor please say "aye."
