Hawai`i County Charter Commission — Public Hearing April 1, 2019 <br />MR. SPARKS: Thank you. Hello, thanks for showing up in Puna tonight. Yeah, <br />I came especially to not support but oppose, adamantly oppose CA -8. I think we <br />have Council people who are elected every two years and that gives us a little bit <br />of control as to what they are doing and what they... where they are going and <br />that they have to run for election is not that big of a hardship. I have run... I have <br />done two elections now and it is not a hard, you know... it is just part of the job <br />right and I think that if we change it to four years we will have the quality of our <br />Council people will diminish. The job they do will diminish. The thought <br />process that they can do a better job because they are there longer is not right. It <br />is not real. It doesn't take that much effort to run for an election especially if you <br />are an incumbent. And yeah, I also support the CA -2, CA -4, CA -5, CA -6, I <br />strongly support CA -9, and CA -17, CA -22, and CA -27. Okay? Thank you. <br />That's all. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Thank you. Are there any other testifiers? It would appear that <br />we have no more speakers. I would like to thank all the testifiers for their <br />statements, the Commissioners for your attention, and the staff for their efforts in <br />helping us convene this hearing. <br />Our next public hearing will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, April 2nd, at 5:00 p.m. <br />at the Honoka`a Complex, 45-541 Akia Street, in Honoka`a, district of Hamakua. <br />I would ask you all to please drive safely and thank you for coining. <br />Commission Approval: April 25, 2019 <br />Mr. 1 ou;,i� ..
