Constance R. Kiriu <br /> Legislative ,4uditor <br /> October 12, 2001 <br /> Page Three <br /> In the present case, there does not appear to be any exception allowing the <br /> ordinance to override the charter. The charter provision deals with the legislative <br /> structure of the County. Section 3-11, Hawaii County Code, dealing with <br /> emergency ordinances, does not apply. Sections 46-80, 46-80.1, and 46-80.5, <br /> Hawaii Revised Statutes, authorize the counties to enact ordinances to provide <br /> for improvement districts, but do not authorize or discuss the adoption of <br /> ordinances by one reading. <br /> We conclude that a bill relating to improvement district refunding must pass two <br /> readings. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions. Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> `Lester Ishado <br /> Deputy Corporation Counsel <br /> <br />
