HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 8 of 41 <br />, I would assume that most, if not all, of the departments from the County government itself, it’s going <br />to be housekeeping stuff. And then, so with the public process, that gives us the chance to pick up these <br />things we really aren’t expecting. <br />So I think we’re on track. And I think by the end of July I’d like to know pretty much, have everything <br />out on the table. What’s an issue I have? Nonpartisan election, you know. I would hope that we’d have <br />these things out here on the table by then, and then we’d start to do our work. So it’s an ambitious <br />schedule, but I tend to like it, Mr. Chairman. <br />RAY: Mr. Bess. <br />BESS: I go along with him. I - number one, is I think what we ought to do is go forward with the six <br />public hearings. What that’s going to do is it will elicit maybe some neighborhood board issues, those <br />kinds of things that we should be dealing with. We know those up front, so by the end of July we know <br />what the issues are, and then we’re going to have a time for us to get together and come out with our <br />issues that, you know, such as neighborhood board or whatever. And we’re not going to be behind the <br />eight ball by starting in August to deal with those kinds of issues. <br />SANTANGELO: Because we’re going to need the research and the material brought to us. <br />IRVINE: I guess -, I missed the last meeting, and so -. <br />SANTANGELO: No, you did, I think. <br />HERKES: Then you’ll get to talk. <br />IRVINE: At this point, I thought we had decided on two public hearings and now we’ve got six. Is -, <br />was there some rationale for that? <br />SANTANGELO: I think Chris had a lot to do with that. Didn’t Chris -, in having the -. <br />IRVINE: Oh, okay. <br />SANTANGELO: Presentation that we had from the past Commission. <br />IRVINE: He thought we had to go out to everybody now? <br />SANTANGELO: Kind of what they had done and some of the recommendations. <br />IRVINE: Did they go out for public hearings with no agenda? Does anybody know? Or did they have <br />something they were discussing -? <br />SANTANGELO: No. <br />IRVINE: At those meetings? <br />SANTANGELO: And it didn’t seem like they really engaged in a lot of dialogue. It was to receive input <br />from the public. <br />IRVINE: Okay. Well, then let’s do it. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 5-19-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
