Hawai`i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer

Under the County Charter, members of the Fire Commission:

• Adopt rules necessary for the conduct of its business and review rules for the administration of the Fire Department.
• Review the annual budget prepared by the Fire Chief and make recommendations thereon to the Mayor, Managing Director and the County Council.
• Review the Fire Department’s operations for the purpose of recommending improvements to the Fire Chief.
• Evaluate at least annually the performance of the Fire Chief and submit a report to the Mayor, Managing Director and the County Council.
• Review personnel actions within the Fire Department to conform with the policies of the County charter.
• Hear complaints of citizens concerning the Fire Department or its personnel and, if necessary, make recommendations to the Fire Chief on appropriate corrective action.
• Submit an annual report to the Mayor, Managing Director, and the County Council on its activities.
• Except for the purposes of inquiry, neither the Fire Commission nor its members shall interfere in any way with the administrative affairs of the Fire Department.

Although the Commission is made up of nine representatives from their respective Council districts, each and every one of the Commissioners has taken an islandwide perspective towards addressing the emergency service needs of our community.

The goal of the Fire Commission is to provide the citizens of the County of Hawaii with the best fire protection and emergency services available. As such, the Commission is kept informed of the mission, goals, and objectives of the Fire Department and is afforded the opportunity to provide suggestions, comments, or critique on operations, projects, and issues.

The Fire Commission plays a key role in the strategic planning process. The Fire Commission also deals with the investigation of public complaints regarding the Fire Department and its employees, and based on their findings, they generally make a recommendation on the disposition of the case. The Commission will give written notice of its findings to the complainant, Fire Chief, and the person against whom the complaint is made.

The Fire Commission also conducts the selection and assessment of candidates applying for the position of Fire Chief.

The following districts will have vacancies for Police Commission positions from December 31, 2004: District 4, represented by Council member Stacy Higa; District 6, represented by Council member Bob Jacobson; District 8, represented by Council member Angel Pilago and District 9, represented by Council member Pete Hoffman. Residents of these districts are encouraged to apply to fill these vacancies.

The commission generally meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. in a public facility or other site accessible to the public as announced at the previous meeting. Every 3rd month the meeting is in Kona.

Time Commitment as a Commissioner: Monthly meetings last between 1-2 hours.

Some of us choose to expend extra energy and time by volunteering to assist fire personnel with editing handbooks, serving on other committees in our communities which require input from commissioners, sitting on interview panels as observers, helping leadership cadres by judging projects, attending recruit functions, visiting stations, etc.

The Ideal Commissioner: Any citizen/resident who wishes to "give back" to his/her community in this small way; a person with passion for promoting reasoned causes; someone with an open mind and commitment to wanting his/her community to improve; a team player who can agree to disagree and permit democratic ideals to "win"; a person with a flexible work schedule or a retiree; a worker bee.

The Sales Pitch: Stand up to be counted! The Big Island needs citizens committed to many causes: fire, police, ethics, etc. etc. You can be a part of the solution process by volunteering to help your community by serving on one of its many commissions/boards. Call 961-8223 and make a difference!" Karen Maedo

The County of Hawai’i Department of Environmental Management, Wastewater Division will be renovating the King Kamehameha Sewage Pump Station located at the corner of Ali’i Drive and the Kailua-Kona Harbor Access Road fronting the King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel.

This work is anticipated to commence during the 3^rd week in January of 2005 and will last approximately five (5) months. Work will take place between the hours of 8 am and 5:30 pm during week days and possibly Saturdays.

This renovation project will add capacity to the pump station resulting in better ability to accommodate the increasing number of future developments in Kailua-Kona. As an added benefit, renovation of the King Kamehameha Sewage Pump Station helps with preparing for future abandonment of the Queen Emma Sewage Pump Station located at Emma Square. This should enhance the area for nearby businesses as maintenance activities by Wastewater Division personnel will no longer be required in Emma Square.

During the construction period of the renovation project, businesses along Ali’i Drive can anticipate uninterrupted sewer service and conduct their business in a normal fashion.

Pedestrian traffic will be safely re-routed around the construction area at the King Kamehameha. There will be very little impact to vehicular traffic.

Some construction work will take place at the Emma Square location while giving consideration to pedestrian traffic. This work may include minor improvements to the rock wall and concrete walkways with the intent of making the area safer for pedestrians.

The public is welcome to direct any questions or concerns during construction to the Construction Manager, SSFM International, Inc. at 933-2727. General questions may be directed to the Wastewater Division at 961-8338.

Due to ongoing dry weather conditions, exceptionally large water consumption, and repairs being done at the Hualalai and Kalaoa Wells, the Department of Water Supply would like to remind customer in North Kona that they are under Water Conservation.

The Water Conservation Notice is a request to reduce your daily water usage by 10%. Listed are some ways to conserve water to reach the 10% goal:

• Wash full loads of laundry only.

• Wash full loads of dishes only.

• Serve drinking water only when requested.

• Do not let the faucet run unnecessarily.

• When bathing, use water only to wet and rinse off.

• Do not fill up the bathtub.

• Use a glass to rinse when brushing your teeth.

• Do not flush toilets unnecessarily.

• Stop lawn sprinkling.

• Stop car and boat washing.

• Stop dust control watering.

• Use drinking water wisely.

Agricultural users should irrigate only at night from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This measure will reduce water loss due to evaporation and minimize water system drain during peak demand.

If this trend of large consumption continues, the next water conservation action will be mandatory reduction. Please conserve water.

For more information, please contact Daryl Ikeda of the Department of Water Supply at 961-8790.

Christmas Treecycling Is Here Again

The County of Hawai`i’s Solid Waste Division and Highway Maintenance Division will again be conducting the annual island-wide Christmas Treecycling community project.

After Christmas until Sunday, January 9, 2005, the County of Hawai`i will be collecting and chipping Christmas trees at the following 10 Transfer Stations: Hilo, Honoka`a, Ka`auhuhu, Kea`au, Kealakehe, Keauhou, Pahoa, Puako, Waimea and Wai`ohinu. Chipping of the Christmas trees will be done at each site.

Free tree chips will be available on site on a first come, first serve basis between January 10 and 16, 2005. The timing will depend on available equipment.

In addition, for one day only, the Akaka Falls Lions Club will be accepting Christmas trees at the Honomu and Laupahoehoe Transfer Stations. The volunteer group will be accepting trees Saturday, January 8th from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m only. No chips will be available at these two sites. The Akaka Falls Lions Club will be transporting trees to the Hilo Transfer Station for chipping.

The public is asked to remove all decorations, nails and stands. No plastic bags, flocked trees, or other rubbish will be accepted, as they will damage the chippers.

Free tree chips will be available on site on a first come, first serve basis between January 10 and 16, 2004. The duration will depend on available equipment.

By chipping Christmas trees and making the material available for use in gardens, the County can divert thousands of trees from landfills, plus add valuable mulch to island soils.

The West Hawai’i Fisheries Council, a community-based advisory organization,

will hold their monthly meeting on Thursday, January 20, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. at the Hawaii Big Game Fishing Club at Honokohau Marina in Kailua Kona.

The Council is welcoming four new 2005 members:

• Donna Goodale, a recreational diver and science teacher at Hualalai Academy;
• Kai Hoover of Waikoloa who has experienced almost all the aspects of the fisheries in West Hawaii from the age of 12;
• Kawika Leicher, a long-time Kona resident who is a dive and snorkel operator
• George Paleudis of Captain Cook who is a recreational diver and scientist.

The Council is excited to bring on these individuals who love and understand West Hawaii’s coastal attributes. We are confident they can help achieve the mission of the Council: to manage fishery activities to ensure sustainability, enhance nearshore resources, minimize resource depletion and manage conflicts of use.

The West Hawai’i Fisheries Council was established to serve as the community source for formulating and recommending West Hawai’i fisheries management actions and changes to the Division of Aquatic Resources and the Board of Land and Natural Resources.

The Council has eight very active committees which are always seeking new members to sustain their broad scope. Members of the public are cordially invited to the Council meetings on the third Thursday of every month.
