LEITHEAD -TODD: - -No, well, I was just thinking that, you know, hey I don't know. <br />My entree was 28 <br />LUM: - -I have a hard time getting up to a hundred dollars for one dinner <br />LEITHEAD -TODD: --And so, and I didn't know whether afterwards when I'm sitting <br />down, `cause I was thinking the cost of the entire pupu, you know, and the cost of the entire <br />dessert, even if I shared it. And so I just pulled a number out of the air <br />LUM: -And even with drinks and coffee <br />LEITHEAD -TODD: -And so, you know, but when I sat down and thought about it and I <br />was going okay, 12 dollars to 15 dollars for a pupu. You know, what's the salad, is that 12 <br />bucks. Entree was 28. Is the dessert around 12? And so when I started adding it up, it just <br />didn't add up to a hundred bucks. <br />CHAIR: Well, let me ask you this. I mean, do you really think that your meal constituted <br />reaching this threshold of a hundred dollars? <br />LEITHEAD -TODD: No, I don't. And hey, I want to say this. Look, if I thought that <br />there was some kind of problem with that meal, I would never have said you know, why would <br />I if there was a problem with the meal, why would I say publicly I went to a meal? Why would <br />I say anything to the reporter if there was anything that I was trying to hide? <br />CHAIR: Well, I'm duly impressed that you can remember what you had. I don't know <br />what I had for dinner last night. <br />LEITHEAD -TODD: Well, I can't the only reason I remember is because I told the <br />reporter 28 bucks. But I do remember there was some pupus, and somebody ordered poke. <br />There was some kind offish, so I had some of that. And all I remember about the dessert is that <br />there was a lot of chocolate on it. <br />HEEL Y.- Excuse me, Chair, if I may. The threshold is in excess of a hundred dollars. <br />CHAIR: Thankyou. And just you're representing Mayor Kenoi, correct? <br />GONZALEZ: Yes, Mr. Chair. <br />CHAIR: If you can come up. Do you I'm sure you had a chance to discuss this with the <br />Mayor. Does he feel as if his meal that night reached in excess of a hundred dollars? <br />GONZALEZ: No, Mr. Chair. <br />CHAIR: Okay. So again, I'll reiterate that the thresholds that need to be met to be in <br />violation of Section 2 -91. S(a) right off the bat, I don't personally feel that it meets that. I do <br />have to offer a friendly reminder that gift disclosures need to be required. And I know, Bobby <br />Jean, you know that well, because you helped us out before in the past, counseling this Board. <br />so— <br />El <br />
