HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 7 of 41 <br />RAY: Okay. <br />HERKES: As far as I’m concerned. <br />RAY: So let me ask this. Do you think it’s premature that we schedule these six -? You know, this is just <br />a tentative schedule right now, okay. You know, do we really want to go out for these six meetings and <br />then, you know, in addition, you know, all these other things you’re, you know, speaking about. <br />HERKES: Yes. Thank you. <br />RAY: I mean, maybe we don’t want to do these six meetings right now. <br />HERKES: We do. <br />RAY: Because the original plan was to do just two meetings, one in Kona and one in Hilo, as a first <br />pass, and this scenario of additional meetings came up, you know, at the last meeting.
