• them. They also hold them accountable. <br />BALOG: Okay. No, that's just what I want to - just a question. <br />LAWSON: Thank you. <br />RAY: Mr. Santangelo. <br />SANTANGELO: <br />Well, I was just going to address a point of what I think Kevin's on the <br />right track but I'm a little uncomfortable in a venue such as this in which we start to <br />debate the presenter because we're here to hear their opinions and we can get <br />overzealous and put them on the spot and I just wanted to bring that up. <br />RAY: Any other questions? One thing you brought up and I can't speak to this <br />definitively and we'll need to do some more legal research on this in regard to when <br />things can and do take effect in regard to the elections but I know in the b election <br />when we voted in the four two-year terms, much to the surprise and dismay of the <br />County Council, it was voted in there. When we looked at that, we find that that <br />actually did take effect the day it was voted in and everybody had thought it would take <br />affect two years later but that was not the case so I'm not so sure, as bizarre as it may <br />sound, that if you voted to go with a City Manager Director in spite of the fact that <br />you'd have folks running for Mayor. I think that it would probably be eliminated, as <br />strange as that sounds or that could be legally possible so I'm not sure of that but I <br />think that you do have case law supporting people running for offices that can and have <br />been eliminated in elections. But anyway, we'll certainly be looking into all of that. <br />Comment? <br />LAWSON: No, just thank you very much. <br />RAY: Next speaker, Ginger Towle. <br />TOWLE: Hi, my name is Ginger Towle. I'm President of West Hawaii Humane <br />Society and also Kona Crime Prevention Committee however, I'm really here because <br />of West Hawaii Humane Society. There is a problem about program reviews and I <br />realize that if you would have a performance audit with every single agency, it would <br />cost a tremendous amount of money but unfortunately, they do not have the reviews <br />and so consequently something has to be done somewhere so that it doesn't take one <br />of the Council Members asking for this. The good point is it has to do with Hawaii <br />Island Humane Society. If you take a look at their records, it shows that they have not <br />been doing the job and with the complaints coming in and everything, however, it's <br />under the auspices of the Finance Department and there is absolutely -- that's just the <br />
