<br />RAY: The May 12th Special Meeting of the Hawaii County Charter Commission
<br />is called to order at 3:07 p.m. Let the minutes reflect that in attendance are John Ray, Chairman,
<br />Roland Higashi, Vice Chair, Steve Bess, Marni Herkes, George Martin, and Gary Yoshiyama. I
<br />had verbal notice from Sue Irvine and Daryl Kurozawa that they could not attend today, so we'll
<br />expect the others momentarily, but let's go ahead and get started.
<br />You have a packet before you, and I tried to put things in the order -that we're going to deal with
<br />them, so Item No. III, the minutes. If you will recall, we deferred approval of the March 17th
<br />minutes which we just received at the last meeting, and also included here we have the April 14th
<br />minutes, which I assume we're going to defer approval on those until the next meeting since
<br />nobody's had a chance to read them. So in regard to the March 17th minutes, which were
<br />distributed at the last meeting, do I have a motion to approve?
<br />YOSHIYAMA: So moved.
<br />RAY: Second?
<br />BESS: Second.
<br />RAY: Okay. Discussion on the -, this is the March 17th minutes that were
<br />distributed at the last meeting. Discussion? I've just got a general comment. In reviewing these
<br />meetings, I find them not to be particularly substantive or easy to follow, and I think maybe part
<br />of that is, you know, the subject matter, or lack of, right, and part of it is probably the -, my
<br />leadership, or lack of, in terms of running the meetings, but they seem to be pretty helter-skelter
<br />and all over the place. But like I say, I think a lot of that is, you know, we're just sort of free-for-
<br />all discussing the organization and whatever but, hopefully, they'll be, you know, more
<br />productive as a recording tool and more useful to us later.
