Hawai`i County Charter Commission -11 June 21, 2019 CHR. ADAMS: So if I may, the timeline right now is such that this will be presented... the report will go to the Council, the Council will have 30 days, that means by July 26th we will hear something, one way or the other, the plan then is to have no meeting in July alright? And so, it is... so without ob... well, I think we actually have to vote on this. So I would entertain a motion to suspend the rules. Is there a second? Alright moved by... and you are probably wondering why we are suspending the rules. We are suspending the rules having to do with our regularly scheduled meeting. So it has been moved and seconded, to suspend the rules regarding our regularly scheduled meetings. All in favor please signify by saying "aye" (aye), any opposed? Motion passes unanimously with Commissioners Roehrig and Hopkins excused. Vote on Motion to The motion to suspend Charter Rule I. Relating to scheduling of regular Suspend Rule meetings was carried by the following voice vote: (Approved): AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING: Ayes: Commissioners Bergin, Galimba, Hamano, Rice, Saquing, Springer, Todd, Zelko-Schlueter, and Chair Adams — 9 Noes: None. Absent: Commissioners Hopkins and Roehrig — 2 Excused: None. The Chair directed the Commission to proceed to the next order of business, agenda items for next regularly scheduled meeting CHR. ADAMS: So the purpose of that is to allow us to not have to have a July meeting. I would notice... I would note however in our rules, even though we have been doing that and so by custom of use if you will, that is why we did that... but we do say in our rules that... see if I get this right, that the phrasing in our rules is "unless otherwise specified, regular meetings will be held on the second Friday of each month at 1:30 p.m.", so that is why we have been suspending the rules when we are talking about changing those particular dates. I will, I would note that there will likely be a Communication to Commissioners that in August we will look to amend our rules moving forward, having to do with meetings and when they need to be scheduled, and that kind of thing. That way we don't have to continue to ask for that information, or those votes. So the proposal will be that we will have that information by July 26th, the plan would be to have our next meeting on August 8th, which is a Thursday, I would Page 23
