of preamble but that’s my opinion. Other people feel differently, same way, differently? We should give the staff some direction now so that when we see the next version it is somewhere and then we can move it around again. MS. WONG: I don’t have a preference either way. MS. NICHOLSON: You don’t have a preference. Glen? MR. MATSUDA: What is going to be on the preface and acknowledgments? MS. NICHOLSON: Where are you looking at? MS. O’HARA: Outline. MR. MATSUDA: The outline okay. Appendices, so you talking about putting appendices b? MS. NICHOLSON: I don’t know about the order. Somewhere in the appendices. MR. MATSUDA: Well anywhere in the appendices. MS. NICHOLSON: If it was going to go in the appendices it would probably be the first thing. MR. MATSUDA: Yes okay. MS. NICHOLSON: Because it’s talking about… Summarizing so… MR. MATSUDA: What we doing, yeah, exactly. Like Gloria I don’t have any particular wish to put it anyplace. Appendices, beginning would be good it’s just a matter of do we want to leave it as Summary of Cost of Government fiscal year efforts, the title or change that but that can be done later. We can still plug it in the appendices and work it from there. MS. NICHOLSON: Okay so for now we will leaveit following the part 1A where you had originally put it. So for our first draft. MS. O’HARA: And place holder for B which I guess Gloria has written Essential Services Provided by the County. MS. WONG: I have a draft. MS. NICHOLSON: She has a draft so when we get the… For the next meeting it will be plugged in there. MS. WONG: And you know for my draft I’m just looking, part 2 you’ve listed it by department specific recommendations and when I look at the Hawai‘i county functional or services because we’re looking at services or are we looking at services or departments? Because if we look at the services you look at it in a different way rather than departments. MS. O’HARA: Oh I see what you’re saying. 28
