Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes February 23,2021 Page 8 NEW BUSINESS Election of Officers Chair: introduced the item on agenda. J Yoshimoto: Michael, I stand corrected, let me correct what I said earlier. According to the Charter, Charter basically provides that because this committee is advisory in functions, it says here, the affirmative vote of the majority present shall be sufficient to make any action valid. Given that, we can take official action as far as the minutes and as far as the election of officers. The Charter provides that every year every board and commission shall have an election of officers. In our situation, the election of Chair and Vice.-Chair so, if you'd like to move forward with that, or if you wanted to wait for more membership you have the discretion on that. Chair: Yeah, it would probably be better once we have a larger compliment of members to make that selection. Although I stand continued to serve in my position till the end of my term. Why don't we go ahead and vote on accepting the minutes. Is there a motion out there? Brinkley: I move to accept the minutes of February 25 and December 8'. Sheridan: I second. Minutes have been accepted with five ayes. None opposed. Chair: Do we want to have an election today? Or do we want to wait? Do we have campaign speeches and the like prepared? Lewis: I can't vote, I think the rest of them, I try to speak for them, I think they nominate you, like you said, you want to stay in that position, I think they're more than happy to keep you in that position. Chair: I thank you especially Deb, for your support and George especially, George and 1, our comradery there. It's an honor for me to chair this committee and I look forward to getting back to face-to-face meetings to tell you the truth. Lewis: I guess I would wonder, Marcie's been the Vice.-Chair on the Kona side, is that something that she will continue to do? Brinkley: No, I'm not the Vice.-Chair. Chair: Antonio is the Vice.-Chair on the Kona side. He took over on the Kona side when Carolle resigned. We just recently filled one seat, and I believe said we have three vacant so were looking for those new three members. We'll continue on the way we are.
