Just had a question on the, what's the best way to describe it? The Kilauea Eruption Community Relief Relocation and Recovery Plan. There's a change of almost eight percent, $148,000. Can you explain that? MS. SAKO: Sorry, I can email you if this isn't right, but I believe as they were wrapping up the contract, they just needed a little bit more to kind of finish up the last two tasks that are in there and complete the report for publication. So I believe they're trying to finish that up now, and I believe that is funded with our State money. MR. RICHARDS: So I understand needing more time given what we had going on, but is that also an increase of eight percent? Page 2 FC-34 June 16,2020 MS. SAKO: The eight percent is the part that I need to go double check on. I'm not sure what Task 5 and 6 are. That's why I'm like kind of hedging here. But I'll find out and email you. MR. RICHARDS: Okay, if you could do that, and please then just send an email to the whole Council? Okay Chair,thank you, I yield. CHR. DAVID: Thank you, Mr. Richards. Anyone else?
