YUEN: You mean submitting to the Council? <br />HIGASHI: Yes, submitting to the Council and having it confirmed. <br />YUEN: No, I don't think so. No. <br />HIGASHI: So pick somebody in November and it could run through the <br />process of interviewing and whatever - <br />YUEN: Well, I think the exception would be if there's going to be a new <br />Mayor. If the person's term runs out after the Mayor's term, then the old Mayor doesn't <br />get to nominate somebody to be put in for the new term, and I think the same thing <br />would hold true for the Council Members. It would have to be done in December. <br />HIGASHI: They take office December 3rd or something like that. <br />YUEN: But, say, if you're talking about an odd numbered year, at the end <br />of an even numbered year when the same Mayor and the same Council are going to be <br />in place, the Mayor can anticipate the vacancy, make the nomination, send it up to the <br />Council. To avoid the conflict, because there's this 45 days that the Council has to act, <br />it should not be sent to the Council more than 45 days before the end of the person's <br />term that's presently serving. <br />RAY: Okay, Chris, go ahead and pursue with coming up with some <br />language that we can discuss. <br />YUEN: So the general idea would be to present there would be a <br />holdover unless a successor was confirmed but there would be a maximum period of <br />time for the holdover and there'd be a set period of time that the Mayor is supposed to <br />submit the nomination after the end of the person's term. That's the way Maui works, I <br />think. <br />IRVINE: I'm not sure. I'll have to look again but I wasn't thinking of a <br />maximum time they'd serve. I was thinking of having a member available to these <br />Boards so they could function until somebody was confirmed. <br />YUEN: <br />IRVINE: <br />So, a person could holdover indefinitely then? <br />Well, if the Mayor didn't get around to appointing somebody. <br />MARTIN: That's one of the concerns that I've heard that they didn't want to <br />have happen is that in case there was nobody come aboard, maybe they couldn't find <br />anybody that was interested in it, then this person would have to be excommunicated <br />45 <br />
