HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 26 of 69
<br />editorial license is required. What’s important, what’s not important? It sometimes makes it harder to
<br />write minutes than to do a verbatim transcript. And if it’s a verbatim transcript, I really can’t see, unless
<br />there is a flagrant error by the secretary as to what someone said, I really can’t see why, which is all
<br />you’re approving when you approve the minutes is that they are accurate. You’re not approving the fact
<br />that you agree with what was done. You’re saying I’ve reviewed them, they’re accurate, this is what
<br />happened. At least that’s my understanding.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: Okay.
<br />RAY: Okay. Sue.
<br />IRVINE: Move the question.
<br />RAY: Okay. We’re voting. The motion is to approve verbatim minutes. All in favor, raise your right
<br />hand. Okay, motion carries.
<br />All right, Reimbursable Expenses. This is just a bit of housekeeping. I’m sure you’re all aware that
<br />mileage is approved. I’m not sure exactly what the rate is, and I know some folks had mileage to, you
<br />know, special committee meetings. I have the -, as well as other reimbursable expenses. I met with the
<br />Finance Department today, and let’s see, Dixie said as long as they’re, you know, minor expenses, you
<br />know, less than $100, that, you know, there’s no problem with my approving those. So, you know, I
<br />picked up some pupus for us here for the meeting today because, you know, if we wanted to go out and
<br />have dinner afterwards, that’s also a approved expense. But anyway, I have the forms here. If you’d like
<br />to fill them in and claim mileage, let’s go ahead and get up to date as quickly as possible this evening,
<br />then I’ll sign them and we can go ahead and get these turned in. There’s not an official time limit, it
<br />doesn’t have to be done, you know, weekly or monthly or whatever right, so -, but I would like to -, not
<br />to leave it hanging out there so that we get this in sooner rather than later. So I’ve got these forms here.
<br />Yes, sir, Eddie.
<br />ALONZO: Mr. Chair, as far as like committee meetings, for instance, the attorney committee get
<br />together certain place, they can claim mileage, too, for that?
<br />RAY: Sure.
<br />HERKES: We can have lunch, too.
<br />RAY: Yeah.
<br />HERKES: Why don’t you pass those around?
<br />RAY: Sure.
<br />BESS: And the dates of the two previous meetings?
<br />
<br />thth
<br />IRVINE: February 20 and March 17.
<br />
<br />th
<br />RAY: Yeah, March 17 was the last meeting and the -.
<br />
<br />th
<br />IRVINE: February 20.
