Board of Ethics Minutes of Regular Session January 10, 2007 He is just informing you that he is going to be sending something to the County Council to make an amendment. WJ: So there is nothing for us to act on. BLT: Well, if you think it is a good amendment you may want to send a letter to the County Council saying that you support the amendment because it makes it consistent. Motion and Vote: Mr. Williams moved to accept and transmit a letter of support to the Council in support of this initiative; Ms. Kendall seconded the motion; all members voted aye, motion carried. (c) Communication No. 2007 -05: Memorandum from Lincoln Ashida dated January 2, 2007 regarding HRS Chapter 487R. Motion and Vote: Mr. Williams moved that the Board defer to allow Corporation Counsel to further comment; Ms. Lum seconded the motion. Discussion: KS: They're asking for our assistance for providing information on present policies and procedures, in our discussion on our rules of practice, we said there were some things that were conflicting, things that weren't being done, we weren't sure. We had a discussion, so a statement could be drafted according to that, unless we misinterpreted what he wants, and we want to hear what he actually wants. RW: That is why I moved to defer to allow him the chance to make his pitch. If he doesn't show then we will just act on it. JW: That would be a good idea to give him the opportunity to explain this. There is a motion on the floor, we did get a second. Are we done with discussion? KS: Yes. JW: All in favor say aye. All members voted aye, motion carried. 7. EXECUTIVE SESSION Motion and Vote: Mr. Williams made a motion to move into Executive Session; Mr. Inouye seconded, all members voted aye. 17
