public, there were no publications and so on. And you are in a situation, I understand, where <br />you have to learn, you want to learn and so on, you're looking for sources, and there are <br />sources. So I won't go into that. You are willing. You feel obliged to do that already, so I <br />don't have to point that out, but it's important. <br />Now, there is one more thing, procedural thing that I have to say after reading the minutes, as <br />far as regular meetings go. You have to indicate a time and place. You cannot say, well, we <br />do this or that or whatever. You can announce a special meeting by having the chairman <br />announce it in the previous meeting plus publication in the paper. I see when you go around <br />the County, I see a lot of special meetings coming up. I don't know how you handle that. <br />You can ask Corp. Counsel, maybe he knows the solution to that, because many committees, <br />maybe the Planning Commission, Mr. Balog, can tell you, fill you in on that because they <br />traveled around quite a bit, but when you meet in different places, there are special <br />requirements that you have to meet, and you want the public from that location there because <br />why would you travel half -way around the Island and then get one person or nobody or three <br />people or something? So I think it's very important. <br />I mentioned the TV already. The County Council put its work on TV. These people started <br />doing that for nothing; I don't know if they're paying right now. Maybe they are, because <br />there's more coverage, but in the beginning, they did it at no cost. And I think that you can <br />get them, you know, to do that. And people can watch what you do on TV, at six o'clock it <br />starts at night, you know, in Kona a couple of days later than Hilo, and so on. Anyway, I <br />leave that to you; I just mention it. <br />Now I want to call some items and you don't have to make notes because they'll appear in the <br />minutes, but I want to call out some items that I think are of importance for you to look at to <br />either change or put into the new charter, and I'll just run through them -. <br />RAY: Henry. <br />ROSS: Very quickly. <br />RAY: Henry. <br />ROSS: Yes. <br />RAY: This is really -. <br />ROSS: This is -. <br />RAY: Wait, wait. An organizational meeting, at this stage and, you know, we <br />appreciate but we're not soliciting input on, you know, changes to the charter at this time. <br />You know, this process is going to be going on for -. <br />17 <br />
