our responsibilities.

facilitating customs.

provide meeting and office space.

buildouts for 90 different offices --

70 limos with chauffers.

part of the protocol.

most mtgs in third world countries.

easy to get staff/drivers there.

we have every law enforcement entity.

have been meeting since early august.

seattle imf/conventions.

all had protesters.

most headed by professional anarchists. identified as professional anarchists.

the same guys rotate through all these converences.

their main target, the media.

So we know there will be a protest here. but the magnitude, how many, we don't know.

since seattle, security forces have been intelligence gathering since then.

in la/philly.

people were arrested, but not prosecuted.

we certainly look at protest/demo happening.

our prelim intelligence, between 20 and 3,000.

police have security plans.

we have involved the natl guard. they have provided tremendous support.

amazing cooperation.

if the prs does come, sec service wll be here.

will change our whole security plan.

also providng trnasportation system throughout the conference.

two weeks ago.

4500 people here for conference earlier this month.

doesnt say much.

we have a media strategy.

dept of public safety--responsible for coordinating security.

Q. will roads be closed? We do not have any plans.

Will have a buffer zone comletely around it. for that week, plan to block off the promenade.

baracades from kalakaua bridge to atkinson.

assure that con rights of citizens met, no disruption.

part of mistakes of seattle.

looked at constitutional rights of protesters before constitutional rights of citizens.

citizens have to be assured of constitutional rights to do business.

cultural connotation.

If a hawaiian invites you, has to be an assurance of safe passage.

to assure safe passage of anybody we invite onto this island and to this convention center.

certainly don't want armed government people to surround the conv center.

not the aloha we want to proejct.

security effort that will be able to address any deed of criminal misconduct.

Q//seattle. no one culd control it.

don't you think there is still an unknown?

these same people have been identified in Prague. and they have money. they are very well financed.

arrests in philly.

Lead anarchist had $175,000 check in his pocket.

that'sthe kind of funding these people have.

in hawaii

we do expect hard core anarchists to arrive here.

security team does have a legal team.

we're seeking an ordinance to prohibit masks in any kind of demonstration.

if we can identify, we can preempt by arresting these people before it starts.

in seattle/philly. all these people were masked.

money is always a factor.

state? yes.

bec hosted by sec of treas, we expect them to reimburse us for at least part of our expenses.

if not, are going to have to use state monies all the way.

we're certainly using state money now.

the gov wants it.

And we have money in place.

hta using part of its money for this budget.

Q: ballpark budget?

at least $6 million.

we want to have all of it at the conv center (for security concerns). but some will hosting social events at different hotels.

want to push protest towards ala moana park and vfw.

preliminary estimates. about 20 professional anarchists from eugene oregon.

a lot of preparation.

police have already spent in excess of 500,000 in training, and equipment will come to another half million.

seattle/about 40000 protesters.

but the intelligence

the way they gather peple is thru the internet.

and right now...

but they'll only find about 20 people here, though.

security committee--meeting weekly since august.
