HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 24 of 69 <br />HIGASHI: Well, to be honest with you, I probably will not vote to approve the minutes, I’ll probably <br />abstain, unless I read the whole thing. <br />HERKES: Yeah. <br />HIGASHI: You know. <br />HERKES: And see -. <br />RAY: Well, we’ve deferred -. <br />HIGASHI: I have these other minutes I can read, you know -. <br />RAY: Okay. <br />HIGASHI: And understand what went on, but for me to vote to approve minutes that I haven’t read, I <br />think I would probably abstain from voting. <br />RAY: Well, wait, wait. <br />HERKES: And I -. <br />HIGASHI: Not approving the minutes. <br />RAY: Let me address that issue, okay. We’re not approving these verbatim minutes today. <br />HIGASHI: No, no. <br />HERKES: No. <br />HIGASHI: In the future. <br />HERKES: Anytime. <br />RAY: Okay. <br />HERKES: And what I’d like to address is it is possible to do a summary of the minutes. It will cost <br />more, it will take time, but it’s possible to do a summary of the minutes for the Commission, but I’m not <br />sure that will handle our concerns about having to read 126 pages of minutes. <br />RAY: Well, you know, the County Council -. <br />HIGASHI: Mr. Chairman, the point I want to make is that approving the minutes ratifies my actions of <br />the previous meeting, and if I haven’t read it all and there was a mistake in there or something that I <br />ratified by approving the minutes, I don’t think I’d approve of that. I can approve the action that was <br />taken. <br />RAY: Well, I think there’s considerably more mistake that that would happen with the short form <br />minutes than with the long form, but I mean, you know, it’s -, but anyway, yeah. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 4-14-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
