occurred because that is their kuleana. They make a decision, they’re the ones <br /> that do the unfair campaign practices thing. Let them make the decision on that, <br /> I’m not comfortable with it at all in our pocket. We do not have it, we do not rule <br /> on it, but we’re alright under the Ethics Code, all of us are, but we’re not alright <br /> about the other half. And I’m not saying whether it does or not Mr. Adams, I’m <br /> saying it’s not our qualm. So therefore, I’m asking for us to make a motion to <br /> amend our opinion to include a referral to the State Elections Commission. It’s <br /> just a recommendation now, just a recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Yeah. Do you have a comment Mr. Adams? <br /> <br />Mr. Adams: I do. Thank you very much. I’ve thought about this as well and in terms of <br /> looking at the minutes and recalling our conversation and dialogue on this. I <br /> think that’s, judge that’s a really nice delineation, and I would be willing to <br /> support this. I think my primary concern was the perception and because ethics is <br /> a perception business it becomes important in the sense that we are the Board of <br /> Ethics for the County. My ability to lay a finger on the specific area of the <br /> Code, now you’re right, I don’t think I could do that. And yes, we’re supposed to <br /> be able to do that and so I would be in support of such a recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: You noticed I said esteemed when I addressed you in my comment. <br /> <br />Mr. Adams: I’m not sure what that means but I’m sure it’s okay. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Shall I consider that a motion? <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: Should we go ahead and make a motion? <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Please do. <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: Anybody else want to make the motion? <br /> <br />Mr. Adams: If you make it, I’ll second it. <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: Okay. I move that along with our advisory opinion that it does not violate the <br /> County Ethics Code that we include a referral to the State Election Commission <br /> or whatever body hears issues of unfair campaign violations, so they can <br /> determine whether the integrity of the election is compromised by her actions. Is <br /> that fair? <br /> <br />Mr. Adams: Right and just so I understand the motion, the recommendation that would be <br /> included in our opinion would indicate that this is a recommendation to Ms. <br /> David. <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: Right. It’s an advisory recommendation only. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
