ability to answer that question today we don't have the information <br /> to do that. So I'm not making a motion yet, but I think as a part of <br /> our consideration will be the fact that we don't have all the <br /> information on here. We have the petition here, when we decide <br /> and when we put forward a motion determining what we're going <br /> to do. I think that's going to inform our decision making on <br /> whether to continue this, whether to move it into informal advisory <br /> or whether to dismiss. Not having the information available to us <br /> right now is of concern to me in that regard. That's on the lobbyist <br /> registration. I think that the second piece here that we have which <br /> has to do with the unfair treatment, the item that comes from 2-83. <br /> 2-83 which is all persons shall be treated in a courtesy, fair and <br /> impartial manner. That's the other issue here that I think is <br /> specifically associated with Councilman Kanuha. I think that is, I <br /> think we can separate that out for consideration. At least that <br /> would be my suggestion when we consider a motion for what we <br /> will do. <br /> Mr. Balsis: I agree with you. So at this point and time I'm asking if there is a <br /> motion or further discussion, any questions to the petitioner or to <br /> the petitionee on moving forward? <br /> Mr. Adams: So my motion would be along the lines of the item that has to do <br /> with the unregistered lobbyist issue which falls under 2-91.3 is <br /> something that I would move to into an informal hearing, an <br /> informal advisory hearing process. That would allow us then to <br /> bring in the Coalition here, have some conversation with them and <br /> understand their situation as well. Whether or not they were at the <br /> time that this was being all considered that they were unregistered <br /> in violation of the statute. That would be a motion to address that <br /> piece of the petition. That's a motion. <br /> Mr. Balsis: Let me re-state the motion. There is a motion on the floor to split <br /> the petition into two parts: One is to take into consideration <br /> whether or not the Coalition for Tobacco Free Hawai`i is or should <br /> have been a registered lobbyist. That would be done in an informal <br /> hearing at a later date when the Coalition can be here to discuss <br /> their side to that question. <br /> Mr. Adams: I like your motion. <br /> Mr. Balsis: Okay. I believe that motion was seconded. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Yes. <br />
