(SEE ATT. A) <br /> <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: For the record, I also advise the Charter Commission just so the Board <br />Members know. <br /> <br />CHR. NAHUINA: Oh—okay, that’s wonderful. <br /> <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Yeah. But, there’s no conflict ‘cause there’s no conflicting interest or <br />anything. <br /> <br />CHR. NAHUINA: No, no, no— <br /> <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: But, yeah—so, basically, the Chairman of the Charter Commission has <br />sent out similar requests to all of the executive departments, the boards and commissions—just <br />seeking input as to whether you have any comments. <br /> <br />In terms of the Charter, I don’t—the Merit Appeals Board is based on HRS. It’s not based on the <br />Charter— <br /> <br />MR. CHILLINGWORTH: Right. <br /> <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: —but it’s up to you guys. You can have your discussion on. <br /> <br />MR.
