Mr. Adams: It's not a petition it's actually discussion item. <br />Ms. Kahakalau: Yeah discussion item yes which is ... number... <br />Mr. Goodenow: Seven. <br />Ms. Kandkalau. Seven yes. <br />Mr. Kamelamela: Before I speak on this topic ... may I approach the Board. I just <br />wanted to share some materials that I got from Waylan <br />Leopoldino... he's the Human Resource Manager for the HR. l <br />just wanted to share what is called an Ethics Checklist. - <br />Ms. Kahakalau: Yes. That will be fine. Thank you. <br />Mr. Kamelamela: May I continue? <br />Ms. Kahakalau: Yes. Please go ahead. <br />Mr. Kamelamela: I know that there's been a concern about giving ethics training to <br />the department heads which I think.is a great idea. The County as <br />a whole you know had made efforts to train... whether it's Council <br />or Administration: Areas dealing with ethics and so I know that <br />the County Council had received some training on ethics because <br />you know we always felt that that was an important part of <br />government you know because people have to understand that <br />when they work for government you know we just had to make <br />sure that whatever resources or time would be devoted to <br />government work... and similarly with the administration and <br />so ... with respect to the work force....whenever there's a new <br />hire ... you know there's a packet that's given to the new hire which <br />also includes what people call the blue book. That book is the <br />Code of Ethics ... after they receive the packet then HR would have <br />a class and then part of the class would cover ethics and so Mr. <br />Leopoldino had actually have developed this ethics checklist which <br />I think is a good idea ... and so what I've told my assistant corp. <br />counsel is thatyou know I wanted to use this because I know that <br />it...we also. do training of Boards and Commissions whenever <br />there's new members you know we do some training on ethics and <br />then I thought that it ... I know that we don't usually give this out <br />but this is something handy for Boards and Commissions to do. So <br />what I know about the department heads is that there had been <br />some department heads that worked with the County before so I <br />know that they're familiar with the County Code. Those deputies <br />that are like brand new to the County ... I know that two of them <br />have deputies whose also is very familiar with the County but what <br />10 <br />
