rather answer his question. I think that the determination of the specifics of the contract and the specifics of the employee's relationship determination whatever agency that they're a member of. I think that matters. For me that matters in the determination. So I would move that we answer as in an advisory opinion, this petition, in the affirmative with the understanding that the law on July 1 means that if you're an employee or officer of the County and you want to bid on any County projects. You're gonna have to come to this Board prior to that bid where you're gonna have to operate in accordance with the law. There's a couple other stuff in there as well. Motion and Vote: Mr. Adams moved to affirm that he has the ability to bid on any upcoming contract, but must also follow the new law that takes effect July 1 in regards to coming to the Board. Mr. Goodenow seconded the motion. All members voted aye. Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you Mr. Andrade. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Petition No. 2015-10: Review of petition alleging that a County Officer or 91.3 (Lobbyist Registration), and 2-91.4 (Gifts) of the Code of Ethics because he was influenced and accepted gifts by an unregistered lobbyist organization. [Continued from last meeting] Ms. Kahakalau: We have a correspondence dated February 9 that we received from Jessica Yamauchi, executive director of Hawai`i Public Health. Mr. Goodenow: Madame Chair. I believe it would be prudent to take this up after resolving the conflict of interest issues in"b" and "c". So I move that we table this until after resolution of those issues. Mr. Adams: Whatever the correct verb is there. Is it table? Until later in the meeting. Ms. Kahakalau: Is that a motion? Okay do we have a second? Any discussion? So what's happening is there's another issue as far as conflict of interest is concerned. We want to deal with that first because it pertains to this petition. 11
