GARSON: Right. What normally we tell commissioners not to do is to speak on behalf of the <br />entire commission, because without the authorization. And it generally would come up not <br />only in newspaper articles, but if you're going again, say to the legislature to testify, and you <br />don't have you were not appointed to do so for the commission, you cannot represent yourself <br />as a commissioner. It would be in your individual capacity. So, you know, County Council I <br />mean, whatever, wherever you go, you were representing in your individual unless you have <br />the specific authority. You know, when I read the article, there it didn't seem like that was the <br />case. But that's usually our warning. Just you're free to speak certainly as an individual, you <br />know, I am a member of this, just to let you know, and that <br />STREMSKI: - -I tried to tell him that. You know, I said I can't speak for anybody else. In fact, <br />I told him I feel overwhelmed with this commission, because everybody has a college education <br />and I do not. You know, I'm just an ordinary citizen. <br />SAKAGUCHI: You're part of us, so don't worry about the education and all that. <br />STREMSKI: I know, but I don't want it to reflect badly. <br />CHAIR: No, no. Jason told me he wanted to do an article Armstrong. He told me he <br />wanted to do an article. I'd seen him up at the County Council building. I told him, you know, <br />we have we're going to be reviewing a whole bunch of recommendations, so if he wanted to <br />come and sit in. So <br />STREMSKI: - -So I can choke him. <br />CHAIR: I thought he was going to come and sit in, but I guess he ran into —ran into <br />people, so he did it that way. And that's fine. I mean, the press is free to do that. <br />STREMSKI: Well, he said when I spoke to him, I said you should be talking to Myles or to <br />Wayne, I said, because there's a chairperson and a co- chairperson. He said well, you never <br />got back to me. He left you numerous telephone messages. I said, well, could you talk with <br />someone else, but <br />CHAIR: - -No, he never called. But that's no problem. <br />STREMSKI: He didn't call you at all? <br />CHAIR: No. We just spoke at the County Building. He sees me there all the time, at the <br />County Building <br />STREMSKI: --He should come to this meeting so I can speak to him privately outside. <br />CHAIR: Okay <br />SAKAG UCHI: Are we going to discuss this now? <br />CHAIR: Yes, sure. <br />0 <br />
