Hawaii Police Commission Regular Session Minutes January 20, 2023 Page 14 take any action to set that. She stated she is the attorney for the commission, that's not her job and it wouldn't be appropriate. Commissioner Sur stated they can discuss this later, he wants to get out of there, but this stuff should've been told to him beforehand, it was up for a vote, but they should've done it way ahead of time. DCC Frenz stated that's not her job, that's your job to make a motion. Chair Brown stopped the conversation and stated this will be on the next agenda. He further stated next time there's a chief selection process, the commission needs to say something right away and put it on the agenda. Vice Chair Toci stated that she has something else to add to the agenda. She and Commissioner Bertsch attended a chaplain's meeting and they wanted to share what happened in that meeting. Commissioner Bertsch said he thinks Vice Chair Toci is recommending inviting the chaplains to the next meeting. We could ask Chaplain Godoy to do a briefing for the commission. Vice Chair Toci stated that's a good idea. DCC Frenz suggested clearing the record as to which commissioners attended the private swearing-in ceremony for the chief. Commissioners Bertsch, Lassiter, Toci, and Brown attended the ceremony. Commissioner Sur stated three commissioners didn't show up to the recruit graduation. They had their reasons, but as a matter of courtesy, they should call and advise they're not going to show up. Those spots were purchased, so call somebody and let them know if you can't make it.
