Hawai`i County Charter Commission -11 May 10, 2019 <br />MR. HOPKINS: There was a particular, what I am referring to is there is a <br />particular amendment that I put forth you know and put change on the thing there <br />and then I got beat up on it pretty good during the... all the public hearings, and I <br />have not seen any because it had already gone through First Reading, there <br />hasn't... I agree that the public had some valid concerns about it, you know me I <br />happen to like my first one, but that... they had some valid concerns and there <br />was no... I was told if we wanted to change it we had to do it at the Second, at <br />Second Reading, but we are being told now if we are making a change at Second <br />Reading it may not come through. I am..., I'm... that is why I am just very <br />confused. <br />MR. HENRICKS: May I make a suggestion? <br />CHR. ADAMS: Please. <br />MR. HENRICKS: When it comes to Second Reading, put your amendment <br />forward and allow the Commission to make a determination as to whether or not <br />it is substantive. <br />MR. HOPKINS: It's substantive. <br />MR. HENRICKS: Correct. That is the best route to go. <br />MR. HOPKINS: Okay. Thank you. <br />MS. TODD: Mr. Chair. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Commissioner Todd. <br />MS. TODD: My recommendation is that if any Commissioner has amendments <br />that they would like to make to anything that passed First Reading, that they put it <br />in writing and submit it to staff in time for it to be on the agenda and in time for <br />the public to read it ahead of the meeting. As opposed to coming up with an oral <br />amendment at the meeting on the 7th. And I will state that for... I won't <br />personally be here on the 7th because I will be on the mainland, but the issue of <br />public notice can be taken care of by submitting it in writing, and it gives <br />everybody an opportunity to look at it and not be surprised by a proposal that <br />comes in orally on the 7th. Thank you. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Thank you Commissioner Todd. <br />Commissioner Rice. <br />MS. RICE: I am sorry. I am still a little baffled here. So, the next meeting which <br />is June 7th, we will get the packet with all those amendments that have passed <br />First Reading and then at... on June 7th, if we submit as suggested by <br />Page 16 <br />
