Mr. Dill asked if there were any further recusals. There were none. He asked if Mr. <br />Balsis and Mr. Henricks had a chance to review the petition, and they both stated they did. <br /> <br />Mr. Dill called Ms. Napeahi forward. <br /> <br />Mr. Dill asked Ms. Napeahi about the voting and attendance record that was attached to <br />her petition. He asked if she had received the information from Council Chair Yagong or <br />whether she had researched it on her own. He said that the council members fall under the <br />council chair as their leader. He reminded her that at the July meeting, she had expressed that <br />the Ethics Code was limited in addressing attendance issues. <br /> <br />An unidentified woman who was observing the meeting interrupted Mr. Dill and asked <br />how his question pertained to the petition and stated that Ms. Napeahi could refuse to answer it. <br /> <br />Mr. Dill asked Ms. Buchanan to remain silent. He asked Ms. Napeahi if she had brought <br />the attendance matter up with Mr. Yagong. Ms. Napeahi said she went straight to get <br />information about Mr. Ikeda’s and Mr. Onishi’s attendance. <br /> <br />Mr. Dill asked if Mr. Yagong had mentioned action he could take on his end. Ms. <br />Napeahi said she did not know. She just knew that he fulfilled her request to provide the <br />information. <br /> <br />Mr. Dill said that because of the limitations in the Ethics Code, he believed that the <br />council chair would have the ability to make resolutions to address attendance issues, or could <br />speak directly to council members about their attendance. <br /> <br />Ms. Napeahi asked what that had to do with her complaint, and what Dominic Yagong’s <br />decisions have to do with her complaint. Mr. Dill said that Mr. Yagong is council chair and <br />oversees the council. <br /> <br />Ms. Napeahi said she came to the Board in regards to specific complaints which have <br />nothing to do with Dominic Yagong. All Mr. Yagong did was provide her with the attendance <br />information. <br /> <br />Mr. Dill said that it is fine she got the information from Mr. Yagong, but that he could <br />also have brought up the issue that the Code of Ethics does not address attendance. <br /> <br />Ms. Napeahi asked Mr. Dill why he was asking her about this, and Mr. Dill said that it <br />was because Mr. Yagong has the capacity, as leader of the council, to take action to address <br />attendance issues more than the Board could. <br /> <br />Ms. Napeahi said that Mr. Yagong was well aware of the Ethics Code, as were all of the <br />Board members. Even if she brought it up to Mr. Yagong, there were only two items in the Code <br />she could have chosen from to bring her complaint forward, and they were not enough to deal <br />with the issues in her complaint. She asked what the process would be for the council chair to <br /> <br /> <br />
