e Hawaii County Council July 2, 1997 Sut in this one particular situation, i will accommodate Mr. Tyler's request. i think it's a fair request, actually--but I'd also like these things brought to my attention earlier because I just signed off on it today, without having had time to digest it. MR. TYLER: Mr. Chairman, may I respond? CHR. ARAKAKI• Yes. MR. TYLER: Thank you, Mr. Chung. I appreciate your commendation. I think that amendment, which you read there, arose because there was a statement in the original report which said that I--there were two opposing votes and it mentioned my name. It said, "who felt the grant monies were not ezpended properly." That was not my reason--i never stated that at any point during the Committee hearings, so I just wanted to clarify that and I wasn't sure what the proper procedure was, so I appreciate this accommodation and hope my colleagues will vote for this amendment. Thank you, Sir. CHR. ARAKAKI: Thank you. I think Mr. Chung makes a good point that if it's not materially incorrect--because these are just brief descriptions of what happened in the Committee--if someone could read the minutes to see what ezactly what happened in Committee meetings. So if there is something that's materially wrong with the report, then I think that should be brought up, in this case. But in other cases, I think we should be very careful how we change Committee reports without the approval of the Committee Chairman. MR. TYLER: Yes, Sir, I agree with that, and I believe this was a material matter and that is the reason I brought it forward. Thank you. SUSPEND CHR. ARAKAKI: Okay. If there is no objection, let's RULES take these three resolutions up and then we can go on to these other two people that want to testify. (There were no objections.) CHR. ARAKAKI: Mr. Clerk, can we move to the first one--Resolution 94-97, and then let's make the amendment to the Committee Report, after you've read it. 3
