three at -large and the six single members, so I think it's appropriate. And like you say, <br />everything is on the table today, so that's as good a thing as any to talk about. Sue. <br />IRVINE: I guess I just wanted to say that we have had quite a few ideas <br />along this line, and one of the suggestions was to have two -person single member <br />districts, dual member districts, rather than just one person representing each district. I <br />think the suggestion was four districts with - <br />RAY: Yes, Keola Childs came up with four districts, two members of each <br />district, and one at -large. <br />IRVINE: I know the League of Women Voters is coming in with something to <br />say about that later this morning, too. I don't want to destroy home rule. We've <br />worked to get a little more here. I guess you feel strongly that it is working. Sometimes <br />I feel like if you just have one representative that you can talk to, it disenfranchises <br />people that just don't get along with that individual person. The other thing that we've <br />been talking about, and I can't say whether we've talked or whether these are letters <br />that have come to us or whatnot, but out there are all sorts of ideas about electing, <br />say, the Planning Commission, the Water Commission, the Police Commission. <br />Transferring Police and Ethics Commissions over to the Prosecutor's Office. <br />Turning the Police Commission into a Public Safety, which would include Fire and <br />Police. <br />RAY: <br />HERKES: <br />And Civil Defense. <br />And Civil Defense, and Emergency Services. <br />IRVINE: And Civil Defense and Emergency Services, which are already <br />under Fire, I guess. We may be coming up with some more Commissions and maybe <br />we should go to electing some of these officials. Maybe we should elect out County <br />Corporation Counsel, or something like that, that would give people more chances to <br />vote and be heard, personally. <br />HERKES: Your eyes are getting wider and wider and wider. I encourage you <br />to read the minutes. <br />RAY: Sue, are you finished? <br />IRVINE: Yes. <br />RAY: Marni, did you have something to say? <br />HERKES: George wants to go first. <br />
