JDK: The law recognizes that, you know, in any community, a community <br />that is so small, you cannot get away from not knowing personally a <br />party that may come before you. Therefore, your recusal of <br />participating in any issue is a personal one, and so if you recuse yourself <br />because you would feel uncomfortable in seeing the parties in a <br />different setting, then that's fine. But if you're the type of person who <br />says, look, I've been appointed to do a job and I will do it to the best of <br />my ability in conformance with the law and the facts presented to me, <br />and I let the chips fall where they may, and I can make up my own <br />mind. <br />KK: Thank you. <br />JDK: Okay, the proposal for the motion I've come up is, whether or not <br />someone would move that the Office of the Corporation Counsel of <br />Hawaii County, in fulfilling an attorney's responsibilities outlined in <br />Rule 6.1 of the Hawaii Rules of Professional Conduct, pro Bono <br />services, that the corporation counsel's and the deputy corporation <br />counsels' de minimis use of Hawaii County property and equipment <br />does not violate the Hawaii County Code of Ethics. <br />CHAIR: And this is a prelude to say that we're looking to, we're seeking to <br />render an informal advisory opinion and that would be our motion, if <br />someone would care to offer it. <br />JDK: Yeah, I suggested that as the motion. <br />KI: I move for the acceptance. <br />CHAIR: So moved? So moved. <br />WJ: Second. <br />CHAIR: Any discussion, any further discussion? I'd like to call for a vote on <br />this. All in favor of the motion, say aye. <br />KI: Aye. <br />WJ: Aye. <br />KK: Aye. <br />CHAIR: Any recusals? Any nays? Three votes aye. The ayes have it. Thank <br />you very much. <br />20 <br />
