romans concerned citizen testifying on the one item on the agenda the infrastructure and burn mental management committee nine you're talking about three minutes i'm talking about years that this is been going on and thank you very much ellie for all of the work that you have done in particular on this i went up on thursday went down on thursday at the seventh floor and got that binder and went through the materials that were there and it turned out to have been a wonderful collection of materials so just quickly the first one that i is the chair way back when and april thirteenth and focus on this is to be able to eliminate exemptions it turns out the h homelands and the offices that are identified with them definitely think they should be eliminated so there's good news at the end of this tunnel and thanks so much for all the people who did all that work and with that  there are copies of pieces that go with what they're after you need to come ok ok so that was the first date april eleventh two thousand and thirteen and it was your work that was put forward on that the second day is  also in twenty thirteen july three and it was from the director of public works here with us this afternoon asking about an amendment to eliminate exemptions in the public work code county of maui so thank you elysa having submitted that and again the materials on the backups are all with it and the third one also for july of thirteen came in from the mayor and he said that there is definitely room for improvement and i think all of us would agree with that in terms of the goings on that have happened and then coming up into february twenty fifth of twenty sixteen there was material that came in and the good news was that there is a recommendation from the department of homeland security's that not only should some of the materials that were addressed in those early pieces be modified but also some of the stuff that has to do with with some of the other codes that were in there so this is from the department of natural resources and they are very much in favor of supporting what's on our agenda for today in they also would support any  the electrical and plumbing codes in order to eliminate these exemptions that have had goings on on hawaiian lands that shouldn't apparently have been going on so they have delayed and that that is being met so i really appreciative of all of that and i know i speak not just myself because people have been asking what the blank is this about and i didn't know until i spent that kind of time with that material that was up there but it was good stuff and i just think everybody  putting their best foot forward and that i think you very much ms robbins members any need for clarification ever testify or seen on think you miss robbins for your time and i'd like to welcome chairman white to that meeting thank now close public testimony to thank you so ordered so let's jump into our one and only i had on my nine and that is eliminating exemptions in the electrical code plumbing and building codes for conservation district and members the committee has received the revised proposed bill noted in paragraph three on the agenda and approved as to form illegality by the department of corporation counsel so i'd like to refer you to that correspondence which is july twentieth let me pull up my i pad here too to get there and i want i think deputy hopper for this quick turnaround on this item and the bill would eliminate the exemption in the electrical code plumbing code and building code relating to lands in conservation districts and this is the version of the bill that we will be working from and the committee last met on this item july eleventh and during that discussion the committee was comfortable with moving ahead to eliminate the exemption for building code for conservation district lands because the exemption also affects the electrical and plumbing codes it was necessary to amend those sections of the maori county code for consistency and the revised prose bill incorporates amendments to all three of these codes good going to afternoon chair members david good to par a public works director and we like this version of the bill does meet the concerns we raised earlier so essentially it removes the exemptions from conservation lands from having to get a building palming electrical permit for structures that normally would require that you know as it's been mentioned deon ours very supportive meeting that i attended would once we have this in place he would assist our assessment division to get more information from the structures being built in the conservation there know comment ok well there you go all right members as we have discussed this a few times it think we've gotten to this point where as i mentioned in the elevator director good our ducks in a row and i think we should be pretty much good to go but floors open for your folks questions or comments that you might have at this time members anything no one is shaking their head going yeah looks good thank you very ger oh i am ready to act because i'm comfortable hearing from our department director legal as well as our finance director i think that the concerns we have have been fixed and so i'm very comfortable with what we have before us thank you thank you and i agree and that's why it's here today and any any further discussion  was at our last discussion on this we requested information from corporation council regarding the county's process for placing a lien on real property for delinquent real property taxes including the number and timing of required notices and we did receive a letter dated july twenty sixth two thousand and sixteen from mr hopper referring us to sections looks like three point four eight point two zero for the relevant law and ms sorry ms thompson wasn't sure if you had any if you could describe any of these sections to us that relate as of july first of the tax year so if taxes are not paid we can go through two different types of foreclosure to collect on the lien one is a judicial foreclosure so going through a court process the other is called nigeria's hope for closure which is done through notice and then tax they all with that second type of the primary difference would be that the owners of the property have the right to redeem to the owner of the taxpayers and any persons listed on the record so there would be people who hold mortgages and things like that ok thank you very much for that explanation members did you have any questions or comments reference to the description of ms thompson's ok or i just wanted to and i failed to read i guess the the detail agenda all just go ahead and do that the committees in receipt of the
