HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 5 of 37
<br />RAY: Okay.
<br />HERKES: What is -, do we still charge $3.00 for County Charter booklet, or $6.00?
<br />RAY: I believe it’s $3.00.
<br />HERKES: Three dollars.
<br />RAY: And they are available at the Mayor’s Office in West Hawaii and the County Clerk’s office in
<br />East Hawaii. But all of those things we need to, you know, make part of public notice or, you know, you
<br />mentioned letting the press know. We can do that, as well, but you know.
<br />SANTANGELO: John, point of clarification. On that Charter, have we publicized well that it’s on the
<br />Web, because there -, if you have access to a computer, it’s free.
<br />RAY: We have not, and I think we’re waiting to, you know, get out some sort of, you know, press
<br />release bulletin.
<br />SANTANGELO: Put that all together.
<br />RAY: Right. You know, I distributed, you know, one that had some thoughts I came up with in terms of
<br />just description of the Charter and whatever, and so I think all those should be included at that time and,
<br />you know, get the press on board, as well.
<br />Reimbursable Expenses. To date, only I think three of us have turned in the forms for reimbursable
<br />expenses. If you do want to, if you do want to do that, I wish you’d do it on a relatively timely basis, and
<br />those forms are right here.
<br />HERKES: Thank you. That’s what we need is a form.
<br />RAY: Well, they were here at the last meeting, and I pointed it out at the last meeting. And so the most
<br />timely way to handle it is that if you fill it out today, then I can, you know, I -, one of -, myself or
<br />Roland need to sign the authorization, and then they can get turned in. So -, okay.
<br />I didn’t include on here, that should have been in Unfinished Business, just the topic of general
<br />organization and scheduling and where we go from here, and I’d like to table that until after the
<br />presentations, so -, we already have a couple of people coming on that.
<br />And under New Business, I think I’d like to defer the Communications/Public Relations piece, as well,
<br />to that discussion when we talk about, you know, where we go after this.
<br />So that moves us into, as Mr. Yuen comes in, New Business, B, Background Presentations on County
<br />Government and the County Charter. And I want to welcome Mr. Bethea and Mr. Yuen and Mr.
<br />L’Orange, who have all so graciously volunteered to come in and meet with us today and give us a little
<br />background and answer any questions we might have in regard to the Charter review process, the
<br />County Charter, or County government in general. So, welcome. You folks want to come sit at the
<br />table? Hi, Bob.
<br />We’ll keep this relatively informal. I think we invited you here today to, you know, give us any input,
<br />thoughts, help on, you know, initially on getting organized, you know, the process, any processes you
