happens? And let’s say an assessor buys a home. Now what happens? And he’s <br />assigned to assess that area. What systems are in place to protect the assessors? That’s <br />what I look at, and that’s why I’m stuck between the two. Yes, I can see the violation. <br />But who’s protecting the assessors, period? It’s incumbent on me as a supervisor to <br />make sure everything is on the table, everything is clear. Everybody uses the word <br />transparency. I don’t know if it’s transparency if you don’t tell your people what’s <br />happening. They should be the first one to know. You’re in violation, so don’t do it. If <br />you do it then consequences will come down. But if you don’t tell them, they do it, and <br />then what happens? You lost your assessor. You lost that person. That’s why I’m stuck <br />between the two. I may vote yea, I might vote nay. Can we vote kanalua? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: No. <br /> <br />MR. ADAMS: Only the Council. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: That’s the only problem I got. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: All right, and on finality I’m saying this. I find in all this evaluation that <br />the appraiser’s input is in fact directly affecting the outcome of what the evaluation is. <br />So therefore I’m making a motion that there has been a violation of the Ethics Code <br />according to Section 2-84 in this particular instance. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: There is a motion on the floor. Is there a second to this motion? <br /> <br />MR. ADAMS: Second. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Is there any discussion on this motion? The motion is that there has been a <br />violation. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: I have a discussion. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Go ahead. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: So I put the question out to the administration. So what are you folks <br />going to do to correct this? Because going come back to you folks. How you folks going <br />to correct it? We’re all together in this same problem. Wherever the assessor is—you <br />got 13 of them—we’ll all in the same problem. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: And I think that that was discussed previously by Mr. Sitko, in that Mr. Sitko <br />mentioned that he could reassign the appraisers, which would eliminate the whole <br />situation. So on going into the future, they have a method. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Call the question. Call the question. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: So all those in favor of this motion? <br />27 <br /> <br />
