• PAKELE: Oh, we have to bring it all up. HERKES: Don't say anything. It's not on the agenda. RAY: Okay, thank you. All in favor? RAY, ALONZO, BESS, HERKES, HIGASHI, IRVINE, KUROZAWA, SANTANGELO: Aye. Commissioner Martin abstained. YUEN: Just for the sake of completeness here. There is a State Statute that says the Liquor Commission shall have seven members however, that is something which the County can supercede. There is a Hawaii Supreme Court case that says that it's a County matter and the gist of it is if you want to change it from seven to nine. I just thought I'd mention that. PAKELE: I'II correct that. The Statute says five members, no less than five members. YUEN: Right, no less than five. I'm sorry. RAY: Number D, dealing with the Code of Ethics. Marni, you want to — HERKES: Yes. And I passed this out before and it's in the Maui Charter under the Code of Ethics; 'Elected and appointed officers and employees shall demonstrate by their example the highest standards of ethical conduct to the end that the public may justifiably have trust and confidence in the integrity of government.' RAY: Want to read it again? HERKES: 'Elected and appointed officers and employees shall demonstrate by their example the highest standard of ethical conduct to the end that the public may justifiably have trust and confidence in the integrity of government.' That's in the minutes from the Volcano meeting and it's also passed out to you. RAY: Right, yes. We've had that in writing. IRVINE: 14-1 with this. Can I ask one thing? On the written copy of this, it says replace Section HERKES: Where is 14-1? IRVINE: Page 32, bottom of the page. Section 14-1 is Enactment which says the Council shall adopt by ordinance a code of ethics, etc., and I think we'd have to — HERKES: Oh, I think it's, yes — We want not to replace it. IRVINE: No, you don't want to. You want to add it or something. 26
