Mr. Yoshimoto: So Madame Chair if the Board would want to go into executive <br /> session...I'm prepared to discuss this matter further regarding the <br /> legalities. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Is that something anybody would like to do? <br /> Mr. Adams: It's not necessary for me. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you for the offer. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: I mean I'd like to know...could we be sued if someone says hey <br /> the statute didn't apply to me and now you say I violated the Ethics <br /> Code because I'm on a list and it didn't say I needed...it doesn't <br /> say that I'm supposed to...the laws vague, unclear...I mean...are <br /> there questions like that...that's what I was gonna ask. I have to <br /> leave at eleven so I have no excuse to prolong our meeting. I'm <br /> sorry. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I have to say I'm clear on the contract part, but I am not what you <br /> said based on the professional services which then result in a <br /> contract and the statute clearly says contract. That confuses me to <br /> be perfectly honest because contract means contract. They cannot <br /> mean contract one way and then contract another way. I don't <br /> understand how that can be...I feel if the professional services <br /> result in a contract then that contract needs to be treated the same <br /> way as any other contract based on how I read the statute. So <br /> that's my interpretation, but if somebody can explain it to me <br /> differently. I would certainly be open to reconsidering my opinion, <br /> but that's the only logical conclusion that I can come up with at <br /> this point. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Can I make a motion here? <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I think you already made a motion that we would approve...right. <br /> So we have a motion and a second to approve this. However, this <br /> is a general sort of...general question and that we're not approving <br /> any specific contract which the way I'm reading the statute means <br /> that there is a specific contract you would still have to come in <br /> front of us. So that's the way I'm reading it. If somebody else <br /> reads it differently, please let me know. <br /> Mr. Adams: So if we...to take the motion...the motion is to approve the <br /> petition. That then says that we require that everybody...because <br /> 15 <br />
