HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 25 of 69 <br />ALONZO: Mr. Chair, may we approve the minutes the following month, where it says we have one this <br />meeting, the next month we get this meeting minutes? <br />RAY: Sure, absolutely. <br />ALONZO: And we can refer it to the next meeting -. <br />RAY: Right. <br />ALONZO: To get approval. <br />RAY: Right. <br />ALONZO: Then it gives us some time to read it. <br />RAY: Yes. I mean, the County Council frequently -, I mean they very rarely, I mean, approve it on that <br />timely a basis so, yeah, that’s fine. <br />IRVINE: I might say the previous minutes were verbatim, but they’re very nicely indexed at the front so <br />that we might have Page 1, 2, 3 has what content, if you wanted to go look something up. <br />RAY: Yeah. <br />IRVINE: You wouldn’t have to read the whole thing. <br />RAY: Yeah.
