I said what did you <br />want to do with this. <br />RAY: 17. Water Commission. There’s just the change to district representation. <br />HERKES: That’s the only change. Oh no, transition. <br />MARTIN: Well, that’s the only change but Chris brings up an interesting note on the back page for follow through. What <br />happens to present Commissioners that live next door to one another? <br />YUEN: That’s why I put that in. They continue to serve regardless of the fact that they live next door to each other, and that <br />when their term ends, the vacancy must be filled by a member of a district that does not have a representative. <br />RAY: I think that’s fine. I think that’s a good way to transition it. Milton told me they were going to oppose this anyway, but <br />I told him I felt strongly about it. <br />HERKES: Milton’s going to oppose it? <br />HIGASHI: Oppose what? The nine districts? <br />HERKES: Why? <br />RAY: I told him, it’s just nuts the way it is now. He’s going to come in to the Hilo meeting. <br />HIGASHI: Still not finished with the Environmental Department, yeah? <br />HERKES: Wait until we get through with him. <br />IRVINE: Yes, right. <br />RAY: We’ll give him an option, either that or wastewater. <br />MARTIN: Hey, leave water out of it. You don’t want me to call Kevin in here, okay. <br />IRVINE: Unless they harass us. <br />HERKES: Where is Kevin? <br />MARTIN: Kevin will be here if I need him. <br />HERKES: Well, it’s too late. <br />RAY: Salary Commission. If people ask to describe, is it accurate just to say Department Heads and Deputies, because it <br />does include some other positions, right? <br />HERKES: Three County physicians. <br />RAY: Suppose somebody asks about the County Clerk? <br />YUEN: The County Clerk is under the Salary Commission, under this proposal. The Charter says the County Clerk is like a <br />Department Head. <br />RAY: The Charter says that? <br />YUEN: Yes. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 03-08-00.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
