How you wanna do it? <br /> Mr. Adams: Doesn't really matter to me...you're the Chair but since we've <br /> already moved on in the agenda...I'm going to withhold my <br /> second until we...until I have a chance to say something. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Okay...the motion fails...we are still on number nine <br /> announcements. <br /> Mr. Adams: I'd just like to say a few things for the records given that this is my <br /> last meeting here on the Board of Ethics for the County of Hawai`i. <br /> This has been...you know I really appreciated the opportunity to <br /> serve...to be nominated and approved by the County Council...! <br /> appreciated the trust that was placed on me to perform in this <br /> volunteer role yet important and relevant to the governing of the <br /> County...we as a board often times are really the only place where <br /> in some cases the last place for members of...citizen of the County <br /> and sometimes outside the County to address concerns that they <br /> have with officers and employees of the County...it's a necessary <br /> part of maintaining trust in government and despite the fact that <br /> there are times when we wonder about the potential frivolous <br /> nature of some of these petitions that we see...the fact is that I will <br /> and I think I did always went overboard to hear them...I thinks it's <br /> sets an important precedent that anyone can come to these <br /> meetings and have their say about things that they're concerned <br /> 6 <br />
