Ms. Kahakalau: That's correct... thank you... <br />7. DISCUSSION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES OF PRACTICE <br />AND PROCEDURE OF THE BOARD OF ETHICS OF THE COUNTY OF <br />HAWAII. (11:41 a.m.) <br />Ms. Kahakalau: As we mentioned earlier....Mr. Doug Adams had that <br />responsibility until his was over in December and so we truly <br />thank our Vice -Chair Kenneth Goodenow for volunteering to take <br />on that responsibility ... we really appreciated it because it think it <br />needs to be looked very much from legal prospective and ... that's <br />definitely you know as areas of expertise is concerned... that <br />doesn't mean that the rest of us are not interested in willing to <br />support you and assist you so ... my first action will be to contact <br />Mr. Adams and thank him for his service and then ask him to <br />forward any information that he has of things even if it's in very <br />draft form that he has prepared already to you ... and then may be <br />by the next meeting you can just give us a brief update of what Mr. <br />Adams has shared with you and kind of a little plan as to where <br />you would like to go ... we definitely heard of two <br />issues... whatever you want to call it ... that we should entertain and <br />at least you know discuss in this ... as part of this discussion <br />regarding the amendments and ... I'm looking at the past procedures <br />which was basically one person saying they're gonna work on it <br />and gonna give us an update and then that was from one month to <br />the next ... not to criticize in any way but just looking at as a...how <br />we moved forward up to now ... my suggestion would be to if it's <br />not every meeting maybe every other meeting really have at least <br />one or two items ... that we can specifically spend five or ten <br />minutes you know I'm not talking about hours but a few minutes to <br />give you some feedback from us ... and to you know just get our <br />reactions as a board to a specific rule or specific you know section <br />in the rules etc.....or a new item that we may want to add to the <br />rules... something like that but making it a little more specific ... not <br />necessarily have to agendized specifically but for you to be <br />prepared to say you know ... from the last time I looked at the <br />section so and so ... there's this and this ... these are some <br />ideas ... can we talk about the next time and then we will have some <br />time to think about it ... but I would just like it to be a little more <br />active and... everybody working together and supporting you rather <br />than just giving it to you and saying sink or swim kind of thing... <br />Mr. Goodenow: Okay ... taken that's a good idea... <br />Ms. Kahakalau: Do we have any other comments in regards to agenda item number <br />seven... <br />33 <br />
