minutes 10-13-99Page 31 of 31 <br />and we say, well you know, we’re both buddies and we have a great synergy between both of us, and we <br />have basically no complaints that should be changed, I think that wouldn’t behoove this Commission in <br />looking at what needs to be changed. I mean, do you listen to the Police Department or do you listen to <br />the Police Commission? And I think the division that we have, the separateness, but we have certain <br />legal responsibilities, I think is healthy. I think it’s healthy that they come up with certain things that <br />they feel are important, and if we disagree with it, so be it. And if our justifications are better than theirs, <br />then listen to ours. If not, if it has basically no justification behind it, then of course, lean towards them. <br />But I think government, in itself, if we were trying to become one entity, and that’s what I think we <br />don’t want to become, a Police Commission/Police Department. They have their duties and <br />responsibilities and so do we. They have obligations to the citizenry of the County of Hawaii and so do <br />we. And I think the separateness, and I think, some of the divergence of opinion is great. So we don’t <br />agree on everything. Thank you. <br />RAY: Okay, great. Thanks, Larry. Any other comments for these gentlemen? <br />Let’s call it an evening. The next meeting is going to be this Saturday in Waimea at the Waimea Civic <br />Center. That’s in the Courthouse/Police complex there. <br />HERKES: In that back building where we were before? <br />RAY: In the back building, right. At 9 a.m. and we’ll plan on working until we feel like stopping but I <br />was thinking we’d go from 9 to 12, then probably break and all go out to lunch together, and then come <br />back, and hopefully, work another couple of hours. Okay? <br />Do I have a motion to adjourn? <br />MARTIN: So moved. <br />RAY: Second? <br />HERKES: Second. <br />The discussion ended at 7:15 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />  <br />  <br />Sharron Henry <br />Secretary-Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />Back To: Home Page | Table of Contents | Charter Main Page <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 10-13-99.html7/1/2011 <br />
