Alonzo, K. Balog <br />And 4 members of the public in attendance. <br />th <br />RAY: The May 12 Special Meeting of the Hawaii County Charter Commission is called to order at <br />3:07 p.m. Let the minutes reflect that in attendance are John Ray, Chairman, Roland Higashi, Vice <br />Chair, Steve Bess, Marni Herkes, George Martin, and Gary Yoshiyama. I had verbal notice from Sue <br />Irvine and Daryl Kurozawa that they could not attend today, so we’ll expect the others momentarily, but <br />let’s go ahead and get started. <br />You have a packet before you, and I tried to put things in the order that we’re going to deal with them, <br />th <br />so Item No. III, the minutes. If you will recall, we deferred approval of the March 17 minutes which <br />th <br />we just received at the last meeting, and also included here we have the April 14 minutes, which I <br />assume we’re going to defer approval on those until the next meeting since nobody’s had a chance to <br />th <br />read them. So in regard to the March 17 minutes, which were distributed at the last meeting, do I have <br />a motion to approve? <br />YOSHIYAMA: So moved. <br />RAY: Second? <br />BESS: Second. <br />th <br />RAY: Okay. Discussion on the -, this is the March 17 minutes that were distributed at the last meeting. <br />Discussion? I’ve just got a general comment. In reviewing these meetings, I find them not to be <br />particularly substantive or easy to follow, and I think maybe part of that is, you know, the subject matter, <br />or lack of, right, and part of it is probably the -, my leadership, or lack of, in terms of running the <br />meetings, but they seem to be pretty helter-skelter and all over the place. But like I say, I think a lot of <br />that is, you know, we’re just sort of free-for-all discussing the organization and whatever but, hopefully, <br />they’ll be, you know, more productive as a recording tool and more useful to us later. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 5-12-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
