<br />wants to act swiftly, he wants to act decisively, and do what the commission is here <br />to do which is to find the best suited fire chief for this County. <br /> <br />Chief Oliveira stated he fully understands what that could mean as far as time and <br />duration, having gone through the first process and what the department invests in <br />their own internal recruitment process. He understands that it can take some time <br />and he is affording whatever time the commission needs to do due diligence and do <br />what the commission needs to do. Chief Oliveira added he is not aware if the <br />commission would have any requests to suspend any operations or activities. He <br />has several recruitments that are on-going, recruitments meaning promotions the <br />department is trying to fill that the department would continue as planned with the <br />process even though the commission may have a desire to let the next administration <br />develop or change processes. Chief Oliveira thinks the process the department has <br />in place would be accepted by the next administration so he’s being up front. The <br />department does have things that are in motion that his offer to stay would probably <br />facilitate those things continuing moving as scheduled. <br /> <br />Chair Taniguchi stated he doesn’t have objections to maintaining the operations at <br />this point. <br /> <br />Chair Taniguchi asked for any other questions or discussion. He noted there is a <br />st <br />motion to appoint Chief Oliveira as the interim chief beginning August 1. <br /> <br />Corporation Counsel Ashida noted to proceed by roll call vote. <br /> <br />Commission Secretary Jennifer Kualii called the roll call vote: <br /> <br />Chairman Taniguchi: Aye <br />Commissioner Bass: Aye <br />Commissioner Lee: Aye <br />Commissioner Namahoe: Aye <br />Commissioner Henkel: Aye <br />Commissioner Moku: Aye <br /> <br />Commission Secretary Jennifer Kualii noted six ayes. <br /> <br />Chair Taniguchi stated the motion passed and Chief Oliveira will be re-appointed as <br />st <br />the volunteer interim Fire Chief effective August 1 continuing until the commission is <br />able to name a permanent replacement. Congratulations to Chief Oliveira. <br /> <br />Chair Taniguchi stated he would entertain a motion to go into Executive Session to <br />discuss the details of sample questions for the candidates as well as the selection <br />process. <br /> <br />At 10:26 a.m., Commissioner Namahoe moved to go into Executive Session. <br />The motion was seconded by Commissioner Henkel and carried unanimously by <br />voice vote. <br /> <br />Corporation Counsel Ashida asked Commissioner Namahoe to read into the record <br />the purpose of the Executive Session. <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
