Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes June 22, 2021 Page 7 island. That would be what I would say, even when it comes to VFW, because we have a Kona place, we have Pdhoa, Hilo. Get people from all over the island. Chair Doolittle: Well, that was kind of the motive for having more at -large members than these specific organizations because that tended to narrow us down to a smaller focus. Lewis: I think that whoever worded this, whether it was J or Brittany or whoever, provide `valuable assistance', that's the key phrase that we want to keep, `valuable assistance on veteran issues' gets the intent to the Council as to why we're doing what we're doing. Chair Doolittle: Yes, I agree with you 100%. And that has been the whole focus all along from the time I started on this committee until now, that we needed to modify it and bring it in to the modern assistance to veterans and understanding of veteran's issues within the County rather than just narrowed into the cemeteries and I think this accomplishes that and I'm in favor of that. Do we have a motion to accept that? Nahakuelua: I make a motion to accept. Sheridan: Second. Chair Doolittle: George has seconded. All in favor? Motion carried, seven ayes. Chair Doolittle: We have now, officially, through each section, adopted each segment of this ordinance. Is it now appropriate for us to accept, J, is that what we need to do now, have a motion to accept the entire ordinance? DCC Yoshimoto: That is correct, Michael. Chair Doolittle: Do we have a motion on the table? Lewis: I make a motion to accept it as amended in this meeting. Sheridan: Second. Chair Doolittle: Do we want to discuss it any further? Minoru Hanato: Chair, can I say something, this is Minoru Hanato. Chair Doolittle: Go ahead, Minoru. Hanato: my position, originally started off as At -Large and recently I was changed to DAV. How do you count my time on that?
