<br />Mr. Henricks: Two things that are bothering me in the last year that you might <br />look into is our jurisdiction number one, over people in electoral <br />process. Some places along they seem to run into each other and <br />they go against each other. One says one thing and one says <br />another thing. A person who’s running for office particularly is <br />not a County employee or officer, but what is our jurisdiction over <br />that person. Can we sanction them in anyway? We usually leave <br />the sanctioning to the departments and they don’t have a <br />department. Do we sanction them? <br /> <br /> Mr. Adams: There seems to be a gap there. <br /> <br /> Mr. Balsis: I was going to ask legal counsel if she has any… <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: Secondly, what I’d like is a person, and in this last time when a <br />person leaves the County, the Code says in one part that they, and <br />its State law. By case law it says we no longer have jurisdiction of <br />that person when they leave, but we come up with a person who’s <br />within one year of their employment with the County and trying to <br />do business with the County. What jurisdiction do we have on that <br />person, like Ms. Kawauchi? Last time when it says that we don’t <br />have any jurisdiction over that person. So there is another conflict <br />there too. <br /> <br /> Mr. Adams: Counsel do you want to address that? <br /> <br />Ms. Schoen: As to the first example regarding jurisdiction over candidates that <br />are running for public office. The Board does have jurisdiction <br />over them regarding their financial disclosure statements and the <br />section in the Code gives you specific penalty provisions for their <br />failure to file. You’re right, because the definition section does not <br />specifically define candidate. <br /> <br />Mr. Henricks: Here’s another thing that causes a problem with a candidate. The <br />Code says definitely that no employee or officer or someone under <br />the Code can campaign in County areas, but every other candidate <br />can because they are not under the Code. Do you understand what <br />I’m saying? It’s illegal to campaign on County premises <br />something like that, if you were an employee or officer, but if <br />you’re not an employee or officer it doesn’t say anything about <br />you. <br /> <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I was wondering about that. <br /> <br /> Mr. Henricks: That’s a gap because… <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
