HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 16 of 41 <br />HERKES: On Page 10. <br />SANTANGELO: Okay. I was looking it up. Thank you. <br />TAKAHASHI: Yeah. I think more recently we take it that, you know, the auditing functions would fall <br />under the County Council, because they are required to conduct an external audit annually. But there is a <br />growing need for an internal audit program, but I don’t know if it has to be a Charter, you know, issue. <br />We could just do it internally, but we would certainly not want to overlap what the Legislative Auditor <br />would be embarking on. From that, I kind of prepared a, expounded on what the internal audit function <br />should be, just to give you an idea as to what I see being needed. <br />Now, as far as the Department of Finance, well, I guess, you know, we, too, have our growing pains. We <br />get assignments that -. <br />HERKES: Shrinking pains. <br />TAKAHASHI: We get assignments that, you know, people would ask me why is it in Finance, but these <br />are things that get created by legislation, they get created by ordinances so, you know, we’ll deal with <br />that, you know, without Charter recommendations. So that’s about all that I have. <br />RAY: Okay. Questions? Marni. <br />HERKES: Under that auditor, it says all duties and functions of the purchasing agent, the treasurer and <br />the auditor of the County as provided by law. <br />TAKAHASHI: Yeah. I looked for the law. <br />HERKES: You don’t think there’s any law. <br />TAKAHASHI: No. <br />HERKES: Okay. I just wanted to make sure. <br />TAKAHASHI: I looked for it. <br />HERKES: Okay. <br />RAY: Okay. Gary. <br />YOSHIYAMA: Yeah, Harry, I’m looking at Page 17, just for a reference, Section 10-2. You want to -, <br />okay. I’ll just lay it out and then I’ll ask the question. <br />TAKAHASHI: Go ahead. <br />YOSHIYAMA: So we have an operating budget and a capital budget, right, for the ensuing fiscal year, <br />and we got an operating program and capital program for ensuing different, yeah, three and six fiscal <br />years, respectively. <br />TAKAHASHI: That’s right. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 5-19-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
