<br />IRVINE: Yes, it was August. This is from the County Clerk’s. Al Konishi signed it. It says Charter Commission submit
<br />ballot language in final form and digest of Charter Amendments to County Clerk August 1, 2000.
<br />M. HERKES: This is suggested time frame, so he doesn’t have to work too hard.
<br />MARTIN: Well, that, and I think he was making mention about the State.
<br />IRVINE: Sixty days prior to General Election, September 8th, he has to submit Charter questions to the Chief Elections
<br />Officer.
<br />RAY: Let’s let Chris confirm that.
<br />MARTIN: Yes, sure.
<br />RAY: But that’s a pretty liberal time frame, if it’s all the way to August, because I think, initially, if I remember way back
<br />when, we talked about having it done by June.
<br />MARTIN: June or July, right.
<br />RAY: I’d feel a lot more comfortable if it were done in June.
<br />M. HERKES: I’d caution us to get too comfortable. There’s a lot of work to do. I think we’d better get a little uncomfortable
<br />here, and start to move.
<br />MARTIN: Exactly.
<br />IRVINE: I think we are moving, lately.
<br />RAY: We can work longer and harder on those Saturdays, as well.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: I have a concern, John.
<br />RAY: Yes sir.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: In the dates that you’re laying out, I’m getting a little bit nervous because, it seems like, before the hearings
<br />we need to get something out for public review, so that when they come to the hearings -
<br />MARTIN: They can already have their suggestions made. Exactly right.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: So, you’ve got to figure at least two weeks, right? Throw it out there for two weeks? And I don’t think we
<br />have much room in that scenario for that. It’s very tight.
<br />MARTIN: With what is being said, and I agree, is it possible for some of the things that we’ve, pretty much, had votes on,
<br />although not a real democracy type vote where it’s a done deal, but could Chris start writing them up already? I mean,
<br />anything that we can start doing now that’s already a done deal, and it would speed along what is being said, because it
<br />would look a little bit more professional, not to take your job, of course, Chair.
<br />YUEN: I think, actually, I’ve written up everything that the Commission has definitely voted on, so far, except this six-three
<br />Council thing. I wrote up the non-partisan.
<br />SANTANGELO: It seems to me, Chris, with your knowledge, and with the Chair, by happenstance, we’ve worked out a
<br />pretty good working thing about the Wednesday, and then the Saturdays. We know that that works real well. To take and just
<br />back door it like John said, go from there and just work backwards, and say, if you’re going to take it out, if you’re going to
<br />put out a pamphlet, whatever you’re going to do, and give us some suggested dates and time line from back dooring.
<br />MARTIN: Thank you.
