Mr. Adams: Yes. I'd like to...if that's okay Madame Chair. This <br /> particular petition actually refers to a section that will not <br /> take effect until July 1, 2016. Part of the ordinance 2015- <br /> 103, it's my opinion that we're not allowed to use <br /> ordinances that are not yet in affect in the making of our <br /> decisions. But with that understanding, when I go back and <br /> I take a look at the current code 2-83(b)(1), 84(a)(1) and <br /> 84(b) are potentially affected by this situation as explained <br /> as fact situation. I don't think any those however have <br /> violated by the fact situation in my opinion and therefore I <br /> would I make the motion that I did and I will support the <br /> motion that I made. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: So just for clarification on my part. Would you want to <br /> include a sentence in regards to what happens when the 2- <br /> 83(c)(1) changes? Becomes effective in July? Or is it not <br /> necessary? <br /> Mr. Adams: My view on that is not necessarily everybody's view. My <br /> view is it is not law yet. Yeah I know it's there, but our job <br /> in my opinion is to take the law as it currently is and apply <br /> the law to the set of facts that we have in front of us. And <br /> that's what we're supposed to do and anything else further <br /> than that is speculation with....yes I understand the <br /> Mayor's...County Council has passed that, Mayor signed it <br /> back in November. It's going to take effect July 1. It's not <br /> law yet. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: So I guess basically my suggestion was just to put into the <br /> informal opinion based on the current law so that...So <br /> since Mrs. O'Dell is not here now, that she understands on <br /> what premise this decision was made. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Madame Chair. So I would just like to clarify that the <br /> petitioner's requesting as it pertains to the new law <br /> effective July 1, 2016. The Board can decide whatever it <br /> feels appropriate to do. I also think that it is also possible <br /> for the Board to make a ruling based upon the facts and <br /> circumstances presented today so long as they don't <br /> change. Whether this would be in compliance or not come <br /> effective July 1, 2016. My understanding is this person is <br /> seeking clarification ahead of time right, because the <br /> problem is when you look at the ordinance as written. It <br /> talks about"in full disclosure to the agency seeking goods <br /> or services as part of the bid for a contract or response to a <br /> request for proposal". The RFP's and bids come out way <br /> 3 <br />
