MS. WONG: The meeting will reconvene. It’s 11:30. We were on Item 7, Discussion Regarding Future Meeting Date. December 10 and 24. MS. GARSON: Do you want to just not, we can just not have the second meeting and th you can discuss it later. You probably are going to be okay just for the 10 in December and not have two meetings that month. Just based on experience. December is hard. MS. O’HARA: Sounds good. th MS. WONG : Just the 10? MS. PROVALENKO: Yeah. thth MS. WONG: January is 14 and 28. It seems to be still good. MS. GARSON: How about we do this. We can have that as a standing agenda item, Future Meeting Dates. We will have that as a standard agenda item so at each meeting you can poll us and see if anyone has a problem. Because we already have had issues twice with not being able to get a quorum for our regular scheduled meeting because things come up. So, I know that Marilyn wanted this on the agenda because it was the holidays. So as long as we’ve taken care of the holiday season. January is not until the th 14 anyway so you kind of get through the holiday season and then you can revisit the issue. MR. ARMOUR: Just talking about January, I have a trip to the mainland and I think the th 14 I won’t be here, but I have to double check the dates. MS. GARSON: And that’s also the Friday before the holiday weekend. MS. WONG: So do you want to talk about that, January at this meeting? MS. O’HARA: Something to discuss at every meeting. ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON NEXT AGENDA MS. WONG: Moving on to Item 8, Items to be Placed on Next Agenda. One is the calendar. MS. GARSON: So, I’ll have the discussion on the report that was presented today.I need a little bit of a clearer idea of who exactly, or what exactly you want on the next agenda. Bill and I were discussing that perhaps you would be okay with purchasing and contracts issue. So we would invite Nancy, Gilbert and an attorney from our office. And there’s also a contract specialist in Department of Public Works who we could invite. And again, depending on the interaction from the commission, that could take you awhile. And then if you want to just maybe we have just Burt Tsuchiya who is the head of Data Systems, come in and just talk about what his knowledge is of the Data System, give you that general idea. And then if you then want to invite the other people from the 23
