MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> Any other grammatical or other kinds of corrections? Eileen? <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> Yeah, I had a few just language changes. The first sentence, where it <br />says, The essence of the work of this Cost of Government Commission has been to <br />serve as a conduit for public and private perspectives. In the second paragraph, <br />Mayor Kenoi spoke to, and I just substituted COGC. It doesn’t have to be though, but <br />just because we’ve introduced the acronym. Just so it’s clear. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> So we’re replacing the word Commission with COGC. Does that <br />work for everybody? Okay. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> And then the third paragraph, just so we don’t use the words both twice <br />in a row, perhaps we could say Councilman Pete Hoffmann addressedthe COGC on <br />January 14, 2011. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> Doest that work for everyone? <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> And I think the Council should have a small c just to be in sync with the <br />rest of the references to council and the administration. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> So, you’re on the second line of the third paragraph. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> The last paragraph, We, the members of the 2010-2011 Cost of <br />Government Commission, fully appreciate that there are changes that not only should <br />be made, but need to be made in order for the County to provide the essential services <br />in a cost effective manner that the county populace will require in the years ahead. I <br />just relocated the words. <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> In a cost effective manner, what’s the last part? <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> In a cost effective manner that the county populace will require in the <br />years ahead. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> Okay. Does that work for everyone? Any other changes? <br />MR. MATSUDA: <br /> I only have a suggestion and that’s all it is. The commission can <br />decide. Where it says on the first paragraph, Mahalo to all the elected officials, my <br />suggestion is just to put that maybe towards the ending or at the end of the conclusion. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> So you would switch the last sentence in the first paragraph to the <br />last sentence in the document, in the conclusion? <br />MR. MATSUDA: <br /> Yes. It’s to the commission’s desire. I only looked at it from the point <br />of view where we’re thanking everybody, so rather than thanking them at the beginning, <br />which is thanking them overall at the end of the conclusion. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br /> Any discussion on that? <br />7 <br /> <br />
