assistance from Counsel in terms of you what the procedures are in <br /> general because it was very confusing the last time around. You <br /> know who actually makes the recommendations and how are they <br /> contacted etc. I know the Council confirms in the end however the <br /> whole beginning part of it was just not happening for whatever <br /> reason. So I just want to be proactive in that case and if we already <br /> know then we have a smooth transition with the relatively small <br /> board and therefore a large quorum relatively you know...we just <br /> want to make sure that we are able to make decisions and today <br /> was one of those cases where we saw how fast it can happen where <br /> we're not able to make decisions and I guess for the petitioners <br /> who come and etc. It's just a hardship that we want to avoid at all <br /> cost. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: So Madame Chair...I am aware of the Mayor appointing one of his <br /> staff to be in charge of filling vacancies for Boards and <br /> Commissions. So I have not contacted her specifically yet but the <br /> expectation is because there's so many vacancies for Boards and <br /> Commissions that they will be hard at work for the initial <br /> vacancies that are happening now.or have happened now...and I <br /> will be sure to mention to her that probably later in the year to start <br /> recruiting someone for this Board. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Yeah. <br /> Mr. Adams: ' And I wonder if...you may be saying this...part of the conundrum <br /> is that until you actually have a vacancy I'm not sure that the <br /> nomination can be made. I could be wrong about that but I don't <br /> think I am but...yes...no. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: I don't now but I agree with you I mean... <br /> Mr. Adams: Right so...you know we have the ability to manage that right <br /> because if you have somebody in the wings already and you want <br /> to make the nomination then it's simple...you know I just resign <br /> that way you have a vacancy...you did the nomination...it falls <br /> right in line with the thing so...the timing can work out...the key is <br /> making sure that you have people to fill it. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Which is more easier now then it was during the last round of <br /> filling the vacancies for various reasons which we will not <br /> mention. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Do you know...interesting you said that but I don't know if I was a <br /> replacement for someone that resigned...you know what's my <br /> term...I don't know Ku when your term is out... <br /> 17 <br />
