Ms. Noda interjected with Civil Service Rule 100-6, which states that <br /> regular meetings shall be on the third Tuesday of every month beginning at 9:30 <br /> in the conference room of this department or at such other time and place as <br /> may be specified by the Commission (Board). Ms. Noda's reading is that the <br /> rule requires the monthly meeting, but the Board can change the time and place. <br /> While the Board may not have had meetings every month, they have been <br /> regularly scheduled and sometimes cancelled. A liberal interpretation is that the <br /> Board can change the meeting. It doesn't say anything about changing the date <br /> and time. <br /> Mr. De Lima suggested changing the rule, to which Mr. Takahashi noted <br /> that the department has rule changes in its future, and the department will <br /> include the Board's rule change. The rule changes do have to go through a <br /> public hearing, but first will be agendized for the Board's next meeting. <br /> Mr. Takahashi will look into Mr. Rowe's suggestion of videoconferencing <br /> the meetings, if possible, at the West Hawaii Civic Center so that Mr. Silva <br /> wouldn't have to travel so far. <br /> Chair Yoshiyama noted that Tuesdays are not good for Mr. De Lima and <br /> himself. After a brief discussion, the Board decided to schedule its meetings on <br /> Wednesdays. <br /> MOTION: Mr. De Lima moved to change the regular meeting days from <br /> Tuesdays to Wednesdays and agendize the rule change for the <br /> next meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Silva. <br /> Discussion: <br /> Chair Yoshiyama questioned whether the Board wanted to stay with the <br /> 9:30 time. <br /> MOTION: Mr. De Lima moved to amend the motion to change the <br /> regular meetings from the third Tuesday of each month to the <br /> third Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. and agendize the <br /> matter at the next meeting. The motion was seconded by <br /> Mr. Silva and unanimously carried. <br /> 6 <br />
