for more information, I would like Mr. Nago sitting where Mr. Yagong is, so he can <br />clarify what ______. But this has to be done before the next election. Thank you. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Is there any further discussion? Mr. Dill? <br /> <br />MR. DILL: No further discussion. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Well at this point in time, my opinion on all this is that if we’re going back <br />into history, there must have been a perception that Mr. Yagong was somehow involved <br />in the election. There is this perception that he was out there, he was out into the <br />precincts, or he was manipulating something. From what we’ve discussed today, <br />apparently that was not the intention. But yet there was this big perception out there, and <br />the perception in some peoples’ eyes is real, and in some peoples’ eyes it’s like okay, it’s <br />only a look-see kind of thing. I tend to agree with Mr. Henricks that the issue has been <br />exhausted. And when I call for a vote, I would be calling to—against the motion. I <br />would be voting against it, but with the caveat that Mr. Yagong has to take into account <br />that he is Council Chair, and as was mentioned in a previous testimony today on a <br />related matter, that elected officials, County employees, are held to a much higher <br />standard in terms of the perception and how they conduct themselves. Apparently, in my <br />mind, he let this go by the wayside a little ways, and that has to be publicly stated. So at <br />this point in time, if there’s no further discussion, I’ll call for the question. All those in <br />favor of continuing with the informal investigation, say aye. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: Aye. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Aye. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: And those opposed? <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Nay. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Nay. Counsel, at this point we have a tie. How do we proceed? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: The motion does not pass, so you proceed on to the next item. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: We will proceed on to the next item. The motion does not pass. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Thank you, Vice Chair. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: You may have the chair back. <br /> <br /> <br />b. Petition No. 2012-02: Review draft order dismissing the petition alleging that <br />Zendo Kern, Chair of the Windward Planning Commission, “in light of strong <br />questionable appearances to the public, should have recused himself from <br />voting … regarding the revocation of special use permit #1122” during the <br />Planning Commission meeting of 5/3/12, thereby violating Sections 2-83(b)(2), <br />2-83(c), 2-84(e), and 2-91.1(g) of the Ethics Code. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
