Hawai`i County Charter Commission -11 May 10, 2019 ACTING CHAIR ZELKO-SCHLUETER: Oh, motion to approve, sorry. MS. TODD: So moved. ACTING CHAIR ZELKO-SCHLUETER: Okay. Second? Is there a second? Sony, I can't hear real well. CHR. ADAMS: That's fine. But we had the motion there by Commissioner Todd and we had a second here by Commissioner Hopkins. ACTING CHAIR ZELKO-SCHLUETER: Okay. Any discussion? I guess we start with you Chair Adams. CHR. ADAMS: Thanks. I apologize for the little bit of catawampus step here. The purpose of this of course again is to... as we heard from... in testimony today and as we talked last time, is to provide a little oomph in the Charter for the Board of Ethics particularly when it comes to their rules and regulations having force and effect of law, as well as the ability to provide for the imposition of civil fines for violations of the Code of Ethics as may be prescribed by ordinance. And then there are a couple of other items in there that have to do with the opinions and what happens with those, so I would encourage my fellow Commissioners to support passing... I would support this motion. ACTING CHAIR ZELKO-SCHLUETER: Is there any further discussion? Sony I can't... is anyone? CHR. ADAMS: You may ask for the motion. You may ask for...the vote.
