Ms. Kahakalau: Alright...thank you. Mr. Adams: Second. Ms. Kahakalau: Okay. Do we have any further discussion in regards to that petition? Then I call for the question...all in favor say aye. Any opposed? Thank you that motion is carried. And then in regards to Petition No. 2017-03? Motion and Vote: Mr. Goodenow moved that there's no conflict with standard caveat language. Mr. Adams seconded the motion. All members voted aye. Mr. Goodenow: I'll move for the same thing with the standard caveats for 03. Mr. Adams: Second. Ms. Kahakalau: Okay. Any further discussion in regards to that petition? Mr. Adams: I would only comment for the record that we do appreciate that • you come back and because of the way this is setup that the idea we need to...this requires a kind of a firewall methodology and the idea that we can do this at least at the departmental level as opposed to each individual contract...you know that's kind of how we're working our way through it given the statute that we have so thank you for coming back and making sure that we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. Mr. Goodenow: You can always provide testimony to the County Council or write them a letter about how you feel about the how the process is working. Ms. Kahakalau: Yes. I think that's actually a really important piece you know when you have new legislation...you know it has to be tested in the field and in this case as we're testing it...we see that there is some inordinate effort on the part of some County employees to have to come in front of this Council you know to ask for permission that could possibly be routed in a different manner and I think that's an important thing for those who are making these laws to know and it's good to know within the first year of a new statute like that so that changes can be made for the better. So thank you. Ms. O'Dell: You're welcome. 8
