Subject: Relating to contracts for services.
Aloha Charter Commission,
I believe strongly that there needs to be some kind of change in our county charter relating to county departments
contracting for services - such as the Department of Environmental Services, contracting for disposal of abandoned
vehicles. According to a West Hawaii Today article from 10/07/2018, titled "Clearing the streets", our county is paying
$680 disposal fee, for disposal of each abandoned vehicle, which does not include the cost of towing it to the recycling
site. As a private citizen, I can tow a vehicle to the same designated scrap metal recycler, and be charged only $150-190.
Shouldn't there be some safeguards in place to protect the county (ie. the taxpayer) from being ripped off like this? $12
of every yearly vehicle registration goes towards disposal of these vehicles. I think we could be using these funds much
more wisely!
Sincerely,
Heidi Jaworski
