HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 2 of 42
<br />hearings, so I’ve asked him to, you know, write -. He’s not going to be here, he’s going to be out of
<br />town, for the first couple of meetings anyway, so I asked him to write something up so that we can, you
<br />know, explain that in terms of State law and County law and what we can and can’t do as far as the
<br />County Charter is concerned, so we have that in hand, because that’s something I’m sure that’ll come up
<br />and that, you know, I get asked about it, you know, continually. And so we all need to think about if
<br />there are, you know, things like that we want to get legal opinions on and address sooner rather than
<br />later, okay. Okay. All right.
<br />HIGASHI: So, Mr. Chair?
<br />RAY: Yes, sir.
<br />HIGASHI: So it’s not a free-wheeling thing that people just come up to you and says I want him to
<br />research this, I mean, I think it’s unmanageable.
<br />RAY: No, no, no. You know, we’ll discuss it and just make sure that, you know, we agree, right, and
<br />then I’ll ask him to, you know, to do the research, right.
<br />HIGASHI: Okay. Okay.
<br />RAY: Yeah. Or he’ll bring things to us that he feels need to be done. Yeah. Okay.
<br />Item B, Selection of Commission Secretary. We have selected a secretary, Sharron Henry, who is also
<br />present today, and we’re delighted to have her on board. Hopefully, her contract will be executed very
<br />shortly and she’ll be officially on board.
<br />One item we discussed with her that we had never worked out was in regard to communications or
<br />contacts with the Commission. You know, originally, we had talked about possibly an office in the
<br />County, and then we talked about how the phone system, or have a phone there, call forwarding or
<br />whatever, and Ms. Henry has agreed to have call forwarding to her number at home, so she’s going to
<br />check that out with the County tomorrow. So, hopefully, you know, we’ll be off and running then.
<br />Additionally, she’s volunteered a file cabinet in her home, a locked file cabinet, which I think makes a
<br />lot of sense. I mean, we can -, we’ll certainly -, we’ll have the file cabinet at the County Clerk’s office,
<br />as well, but I think having, you know, files at her place of business makes a lot of sense, as well, so
<br />that’s -. Okay.
<br />Is there any other unfinished business?
<br />SANTANGELO: Just one point of clarification, John.
<br />RAY: Yeah.
<br />SANTANGELO: So when it comes to issues going to Mr. Yuen, the only things that are going with Mr.
<br />Yuen are things that have been discussed here and gone through you?
<br />RAY: Right.
<br />SANTANGELO: Thank you.
