HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 27 of 104 <br />BALOG: Yeah, and as we go through our stuff, if we do make a recommendation, that will go right in <br />that file, and what happens to that after the voters vote will go right behind that, so the next Charter <br />Commission will just go to one spot, everything will be there, and that’s that. <br />RAY: But, you know, we don’t know -. <br />HERKES: Yeah. <br />WURDEMAN: I’ve worked with those files and, for example, like what Mr. Ross said, if you -, if <br />tomorrow you want to talk about police and you told somebody go find everything in the previous <br />minutes about the police, they’re going to have to go through hundreds and hundreds of pages because <br />they’re not indexed. <br />HERKES: And they’re not on a computer. And that’s what you ought to have them done is scanned in a <br />computer so you can push a button and say find me police and find all the stuff out of there. <br />RAY: Okay. So -. <br />HIGASHI: Mr. Chair? <br />RAY: Yes. <br />HIGASHI: I’m kind of searching in my mind that we have a charter that’s been reviewed four times. I <br />mean, how much time are we going to be researching files? I don’t see that we’re going to spend that <br />much time doing that. I think we need to kind of have somebody who can move us forward, you know. <br />Maybe that’s the most critical, somebody who has some writing skills, research skills, who can follow <br />instructions explicitly; that’s the kind of person that I would find. <br />RAY: Yeah. I’m sort of that mind. I really don’t see the necessity of somebody going through, you <br />know, literally thousands of pages, you know, to itemize every discussion on every topic, you know. <br />HERKES: Well, times change. This is ten years ago. I mean, are we going to dredge up everything that <br />was done ten years ago? <br />HIGASHI: I hope not. <br />RAY: Okay, so we’re trying to define -. <br />HERKES: I hope not, too. <br />RAY: We’re trying to define, you know, some sort of a job, not only description, but some sort of sense <br />of the time involved here. <br />HERKES: Yeah. <br />RAY: So we’re, you know, we’re going from, you know, somebody down in the tombs, you know, <br />maybe for weeks and going through ta-da-da-da. <br />HERKES: No, we’re not. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 3-17-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
