HAWAII COUNTY POLICE COMMISSION <br />SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES <br />REGULAR SESSION <br />DECEMBER 11, 2006 <br />HAWAII PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />Chair Lassiter called the meeting to order at 9:20 a.m. <br />ROLL CALL <br />Present: Pudding Lassiter, Chair Also Present <br />Melvin S. Morimoto <br />James A. Frazier, Member <br />Louis Kaoiwi, Member <br />Karolyn P. Lundkvist, Member <br />Anita Politano Steckel, Member <br />Thomas P. Whittemore, Member <br />Absent: Betsy Mitchell, Member <br />Kaloa R. N. Robinson <br />A quorum was present. <br />Lincoln S. Ashida, Corporation Counsel <br />Josie Pelayo, Secretary <br />APPROVAL OF AGENDA <br />Commissioner Whittemore moved and Commissioner Frazier seconded to approve the <br />agenda. The motion carried unanimously. <br />STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS — None. <br />DISCUSSION ON SELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR 2007 <br />Commissioner Kaoiwi stated that he would like Chair Lassiter and Vice Chair Morimoto <br />to remain in their positions for 2007. They have done a great job, and he would like to <br />have the consensus of the other members. <br />Commissioner Lundkvist agreed that Chair Lassiter and Vice Chair Morimoto are doing <br />a good job, and they make a wonderful team. The Chair is a very important position, <br />and that person should not be looking for status. The Chair needs to be prepared for <br />meetings, and there are times when she is able to see that someone does not read the <br />materials for the meeting. <br />Commissioner Politano Steckel stated that she couldn't agree more. Her personal <br />feeling is that one year is barely enough time to get comfortable, to be at ease in the <br />position. It should be at least two years for the Chair and Vice Chair. <br />Chair Lassiter stated that Mr. Robinson wanted this matter on the agenda so those who <br />were interested in the position could tell everyone why he or she wants to be in the <br />position. <br />
