HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 3 of 33 <br />island. Marni. <br />HERKES: I would like to suggest that we set up one regular meeting date a month, the second <br />Wednesday of every month as a regular meeting date at 5:00. That will be our regular meeting date. <br />Other dates will be Special Meetings that we have in order to take testimony and things. Is that legal, <br />Chris? Can we do that? <br />YUEN: Yes and I guess I thought that that was what had actually happened. I thought there was a <br />discussion somewhere on this that came out to 5:00 but I could be wrong on that. <br />HERKES: Well, we’ve had lots of discussions. <br />RAY: There was a discussion but since then we’ve gone through so many scenarios in terms of how <br />often and when we wanted to meet that I thought I’d like to bring it up again. Mr. Balog. <br />BALOG: If you follow what our schedule is for this month, is this the second Wednesday already? <br />RAY: Yes. <br />HERKES: Yes, second Wednesday and fourth Wednesday is when we have meetings. <br />BALOG: Okay, so would be second Wednesday at 5:00 and then you could accommodate the schedule <br />that the Chair is talking about by saying that this meeting where we’re inviting people in and we’re <br />taking extra testimonies and getting information for subjects we want to discuss, we could start like at <br />3:30 or 4:00? <br />RAY: Well, that would be a Special Meeting anyway. <br />BALOG: But you could always vary the time at the Special Meeting, right? Okay. <br />RAY: Any more discussion or input on the idea that we go ahead, in the rules anyway, and it would read <br />the second Wednesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise - John Santangelo. <br />SANTANGELO: I think I’ll pass. I think the last bit of conversation cleared - Just the one question is <br />having one stated meeting a month vs. two, with the kind of schedule and the kind of work we have <br />ahead of us, is it prudent to just have the one or would it be prudent to have two? <br />HERKES: I think we will have two. <br />SANTANGELO: But those will be Special Meetings. <br />HERKES: We’re just scheduling one. <br />SANTANGELO: So those would be special and they’re going to be special if we change the times <br />anyway, right? <br />RAY: I think that’s a good point but Chris brought up the noticing requirements. If we have two, we <br />don’t have to notice them. Do we have to notice the cancellation? How does that work? <br />YUEN: I think we have to send to everybody that normally gets the agenda, a notice of a cancellation of <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 8-11-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
