HVB Contract Attachments
With one exception, the attachments to the contract
between the Hawaii Visitors Bureau (HVB) and
the State Office of Tourism must be made available for public inspection
and copying. The OIP found
that the salaries paid to HVB employees identified by name in one
of the contract attachments should
not be disclosed in individually identifiable form to avoid a clearly
unwarranted invasion of the
employees’ privacy.
However, because the salaries of certain HVB employees are required
to be made public in the
HVB’s annual return of a tax-exempt corporation, the OIP found
that these salaries are not protected
from disclosure. The OIP also found that three other contract attachments
were not protected from
disclosure because the HVB does not have a personal privacy interest
that is recognized under the
UIPA, and because the attachments did not contain "trade secrets"
or "confidential commercial and
financial information."
