<br />AA: Robert Duerr made the motion, Natalie the second. Any discussion on the draft rules. No <br />discussion on draft rules? <br /> <br />RD: One second, you know, Chair – the draft rules – do they need to be – I mean do we need to pull <br />this aside and discuss this further at, a later time, or do you feel we’re ready to approve these <br />draft rules and then if we need to amend them to do that at, a later time? <br /> <br />AA: I had a discussion with our Corporation Counsel we can \[unclear\]. Or other Chairs or <br />Commissioners can make amendments \[unclear\]. \[Unclear\]. <br /> <br />SW: Deputy Corporation Counsel Sylvia Wan – I’m sorry Chair can you please re-state it came across <br />garbled for my end. <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, \[unclear\] right, so, I said, the way the draft rules was written \[unclear\] with our <br />Corporation Counsel \[unclear\] future commission can make amendments \[unclear\] whatever <br />problems \[unclear\]. So, at this, time I approve this draft rules \[unclear\] moving forward. <br /> <br />RD: Chair, I have one notation. I’d like it clear that upon the approval of the draft rules – that’s when <br />the one year starts for the Chair’s term which would allow you to continue running as Chair. <br /> <br />SW: Ah, Deputy Corporation Counsel – the terms for Chairs for Boards and Commissions is outlined <br />by Hawaii County Code. A Board and Commission cannot supersede Hawaii County Code. So, it’s <br />starts at the beginning of the year – January – and ends at the end of the year December. <br /> <br />RD: Is it limited to a one-year term? <br /> <br />SW: Yes. But there’s no limitation as far as the individual who is chairing. There’s no term limitation – <br />just a term limitation as far as your commissioner terms. So, you can still have the same Chair <br />voted in several years in a row. So, it is possible that if the Board decides to authorize it – Mr. <br />Antonio can still be the Chair next year if he’s nominated and voted in and approved by this <br />Commission. Does that clarify your question Commissioner Duerr? <br /> <br />RD: Yes, I understand your opinion. <br /> <br />AA: OK. Thank you. Any other questions or comments from the Commissioners? Sylvia, if you see <br />anybody raising their hand or trying to say something – I can’t see it – so if you guys could help <br />me out by letting me know. Thank you. <br /> <br />SW: Deputy Corporation Counsel Sylvia Wan – I will let you know, however, currently it doesn’t <br />appear that anybody is raising their hands. <br /> <br />AA: Right. OK. So, can we have a roll call vote to approve the draft rules? <br /> <br />SW: Yes. District – 1, Robert Duerr? <br /> <br />RD: Aye. <br /> <br />SW: District – 2, Kean Umeda is excused. District – 3, Leomana Turalde? <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
