GREDC-1 Page 1 February 19, 2013 <br /> Council Member Kanuha said he preferred being represented by the Corporation Counsel, and he <br /> disagreed with the "Be It Resolved" clause urging that the deputy corporation counsel"not be <br /> under the supervision of the corporation counsel." <br /> Committee Chair Onishi said Council Members will have disagreements with the <br /> recommendations of the Corporation Counsel, but it is important to retain trust in the office. He <br /> also said that in the event of a conflict, the Council may hire special counsel with six votes. <br /> Council Member Yoshimoto was absent and excused from the vote, but he said that"If one <br /> attorney says it's one way and another the other way, we're stuck" and "I don't think the <br /> resolution as written is legally possible." <br /> Corporation Counsel Lincoln Ashida said Resolution No. 51-13 "creates a lack of <br /> accountability." <br /> Your Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic Development is not in accord with <br /> the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 53-13, and forwards it to the Council with a negative <br /> recommendation. <br /> pls <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> EOFF X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL <br /> ILAGAN X RELATIONS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br /> KANUHA X <br /> KERN X <br /> ONISHI X • <br /> POINDEXTER X DENNIS "FRESH" ONISHI, CHAIR <br /> WILLE X GREDC REPORT NO.: 1 <br /> YOSHIMOTO X ADOPTED: <br />
