IWASHITA:Well, the problem is notice. Because under 16.2 which were supposed to be following, you know, were suppose to have public hearings, you know, which this is being construed to be one of the public hearings; and notice is supposed to be given of what were considering. And if in fact were considering more than what, if the notice given is that were considering more than what were supposed to be considering, then arguably again that is defective notice. And I suppose that can be remedied by, we can try to remedy that. But I dont see again, well, again, I just see these problems; and, you know, I would like them rectified.

TORIGOE:No, I dont think so. Its pretty straightforward, I think. GRAHAM:Okay. SIRACUSA:Could you repeat the motion, please. I had trouble hearing you. WATANABE:Im moving that we accept the fact that we are procedurally clear to move forward and discuss the proposed revisions to Ordinance No. 05-25. GRAHAM:Is that clear now, Commissioner -? SIRACUSA:Yes. GRAHAM:Thanks, good. Do we have any discussion on this motion by Commissioner Watanabe? Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:I just wanted to reiterate for the record on this motion that really, you know, what were talking about in terms of what this body does is probably one of the most 10EXHIBIT B
