With respect to the presence of our attorneys at Council and board meetings, the <br /> OIP has opined that the attorneys should be present only for so long as essential <br /> to accomplish the purpose of the meeting. <br /> Thus, the OIP has stated that our attorneys, as a general practice, should remain <br /> in the executive meeting so long as their presence (i.e., legal assistance) is <br /> required, and no longer. Therefore, the continued presence of our attorneys for <br /> the duration of an executive meeting would only occur in situations where their <br /> counsel is required throughout. <br /> If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, I invite you to <br /> contact me at 961-8304, extension 26, or via e-mail at lashida @co.hawaii.hi.us. <br /> Encl. <br /> cc: Honorable Harry Kim, Mayor (w/ encl.) <br /> S: Departments/Corporation Counsel/LSA Misc.Corresp./Memo 2003-2 re OIP opinion 7-17-03/LSAmr <br /> 2 <br />
