• YUEN: Yes, you have to have a regular meeting time and place. Now, you can cancel all your regular meetings and have all Special Meetings but you're supposed to have a regular time and place set in your rules. RAY: Let's try to deal with our regular meetings. Is there any input from the members how they'd like to see the meeting schedule set for the next fall? Do we want to go with two meetings a month on Wednesdays? And the time as well, I'd like to discuss, for the next meeting in particular, the meeting we've got scheduled for the 25th. We have some fairly lengthy presentations. We have John Henry Felix coming over from City and County of Honolulu to talk about nonpartisan elections. We have the County Elections Division coming in to talk about Special Election scenarios so I would like to have that meeting start at 3:00 to accommodate not only the County people, but other folks coming in from outer island. Marni. HERKES: I would like to suggest that we set up one regular meeting date a month, the second Wednesday of every month as a regular meeting date at 5:00. That will be our regular meeting date. Other dates will be Special Meetings that we have in order to take testimony and things. Is that legal, Chris? Can we do that? YUEN: Yes and I guess I thought that that was what had actually happened. I thought there was a discussion somewhere on this that came out to 5:00 but I could be wrong on that. • • HERKES: Well, we've had lots of discussions. RAY: There was a discussion but since then we've gone through so many scenarios in terms of how often and when we wanted to meet that I thought I'd like to bring it up again. Mr. Balog. BALOG: If you follow what our schedule is for this month, is this the second Wednesday already? RAY: HERKES: meetings. Yes. Yes, second Wednesday and fourth Wednesday is when we have BALOG: Okay, so would be second Wednesday at 5:00 and then you could accommodate the schedule that the Chair is talking about by saying that this meeting where we're inviting people in and we're taking extra testimonies and getting information for subjects we want to discuss, we could start like at 3:30 or 4:00? RAY: Well, that would be a Special Meeting anyway.
