Mr. Goodenow: I do note the Charter does say right that as far as the duties <br /> of the Board of Ethics is interpret the Code of Ethics for <br /> both County officials and the public. Render advisory <br /> opinions with respect to the Code of Ethics. So I guess my <br /> question would be, would you consider an ordinance that is <br /> passed. Part of the code even if the effective date is July 1. <br /> I don't know if our Counsel care to render an opinion on <br /> that? <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: As I stated earlier, I believe we would be...it would be <br /> appropriate to find, pursuant to their request that... <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Well with that understanding then, I have no trouble <br /> proceeding though I understand Mr. Adams position and I <br /> do believe there might be issues later on. You don't know <br /> what will happen right. I recall once wasn't there an <br /> ordinance that took effect years and years. I don't know if <br /> we're on a slippery slope or not, but I willing to follow our <br /> legal Counsel saying it's okay. I would support an <br /> amendment to the motion to allow that. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: So is that an official amendment that you're making to the <br /> motion? <br /> Mr. Goodenow: He made the motion. <br /> Mr. Adams: You can make an amendment to the motion. I'm not <br /> making an amendment to the motion. <br /> Mr. Robinson: If you're making an amendment to the motion, I would <br /> second the amendment as well for clarification. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Alright. I will amend the motion to include the language <br /> that it would comport with the newly adopted language that <br /> takes place effect July 1. I hope that's clear enough. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: And then we have a second to that amendment. <br /> Mr. Robinson: You have a second to that. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Okay. Any further discussion?Alright I call for the <br /> question, all in favor of issuing the informal advisory <br /> opinion in regards to this matter. <br /> 5 <br />
