Ms. Bautista: Calls I get from Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, Seattle, Florida, Texas <br /> and all the other places outside of this County. I'll have enough <br /> projects to do. I don't need a full-time job, that's not what I'm <br /> looking for. <br /> Mr. Balsis: Can I ask a question? That is you've spoken with your present <br /> supervisor Randy Kurohara? <br /> Ms. Bautista: Yes. <br /> Mr. Balsis: You're looking at a wall. What if she establishes that wall <br /> working with Randy? <br /> Mr. Adams: We've done this before right? We've done this when we had the <br /> situation with the... I just want to make sure that not just for Rose's <br /> situation but also for any precedence situation that there's an <br /> understanding that when we render an opinion that her situation let <br /> us assume for the sake of argument that we render an opinion that <br /> says we don't see any problem with the Ethics Code for Ms. <br /> Bautista situation. Let us just say for the sake of argument. I want <br /> to make sure that the reasons we have for doing that are solid for <br /> others that might come before us as well. Right. So for me that <br /> involves making sure that there is a procedural safe guard not just a <br /> personal safe guard. Not just Randy saying it's okay, but that there <br /> is essentially it's the procedural safe guard is I don't deal with <br /> anybody I see in the County office. It's only folks that I'm <br /> receiving calls that are off island that I've never dealt with in the <br /> past. <br /> Mr. Henricks: I think we have to go back to and I think we kind of run over the <br /> top all the time is that the people come before us like you and they <br /> think we're giving permission. The only thing we can say from <br /> here when making a determination is you're not violating the <br /> Ethics Code. There's any other considerations that are wrong by <br /> what you're doing we're not talking about those. We cannot touch <br /> those. We're only talking about the Ethics Code and we're talking <br /> about that very, very narrow part of the Ethics Code. Therefore, <br /> there's any complaints that's why I said I'd refer you to your boss <br /> and to the bar association. If they have complaints, let them issue <br /> their complaints. <br /> Ms. Bautista: Right. <br /> Mr. Henricks: We can't be involved in those, but we're not quotes giving you the <br /> okay. Understand. <br /> Ms. Bautista: Okay. I understand. <br />
