The Chairman recommended to Ms. Sluss that she testify at the Council meetings. Ms. <br />Lum also suggested to Ms. Sluss that she communicate with her council member and direct <br />his /her attention to this issue. Ms. Lum also suggested that Ms. Sluss' co- worker, who is in the <br />same type of situation, communicate with their councilmember and to appear at public hearings <br />so their concerns are aired. <br />The Chairman indicated that the Mayor's intentions are the same as the Board, which <br />would be to rule out conflicts of interest, but that unintended consequences could come about if <br />the Mayor's revisions are passed. <br />3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />Minutes of the March 10, 2010 Regular Session. <br />Ms. Schoen advised the Chairman that since the requisite number of members from the <br />prior meeting are not present at the current meeting, the approval of the March 10, 2010 minutes <br />must be postponed. <br />4. COMMUNICATIONS <br />Communication #2010 -018: Ms. Schoen indicated that Communication #2010 -018 <br />dated March 10, 2010 was sent to the Chair of the Hawaii County Council from Mayor William <br />P. Kenoi as a bill. <br />Motion and vote: Ms. Lum moved to accept and file the communication, Mr. Henricks <br />seconded, and all members present voted aye. <br />5. NEW BUSINESS <br />a. Communication No. 2010 -019 Undated anonymous letter to Department of <br />the Attorney General requesting investigation into forced retirement of a <br />Hawaii County Parks and Recreation employee. <br />Ms. Schoen advised the Board that it had received a copy of the above letter. However, it <br />was unsigned and anonymous, and the Board's duties do not include investigating criminal <br />matters. <br />After discussion, the Chairman stated that although the letter appears to be requesting the <br />Attorney General's office to check on the matter, the letter itself is unsigned and since the Board <br />may only react to petitions which are presented to the Board, that the communication be <br />reviewed, accepted and filed. <br />Motion and vote: Ms. Lum so moved, Mr. Henricks seconded, and all members present <br />voted aye. <br />2 <br />
