MR. HOOKANO: I'll get something to you guys for the next Commission meeting. CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you. MR. UNGER: Chairman Ed, can you hear me? CHR. HAITSUKA: Yes. MR. UNGER: This is Scott. One more question before Levi takes off regarding the committees. I'm just trying to get clarification on the two different types of committees we can form and when it's appropriate to form them. What I'm understanding is the ad -hoc committee is established for a very particular purpose and it's formed for that purpose and we come up with recommendations and then you dissolve the committee. The standing committee is something that can take up more than one issue. When are we allowed to introduce a suggestion to form a committee? At what point can we, as a Commission, come up and begin to form different committees? MR. HOOKANO: There is no deadline to form any type of committees. They can be formed at any time as long as it is on the agenda that a committee is going to be formed and whether it is a standing committee or an ad -hoc committee. MR. UNGER: Okay. CHR. HAITSUKA: Any other questions? 4. DISCUSSION ON GOALS AND OBJECTIVES /TIMELINES /ADOPTION OF A PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR DISCUSSION OF THE CHARTER'S ARTICLES CHR. HAITSUKA: Next on our agenda is a discussion on our Goals and Objectives, Timelines and Adoption of a Proposed Schedule for Discussion of the Charter's Articles. Everyone should have gotten information as to the proposed timeline as to the review of the Articles by the Commission. This was done in response to Ms. Jarman's request that we come up with some kind of schedule to look at the various articles of the Charter and to discuss those at the various meetings. The information that you have is that Articles I -IV would be discussed during this particular meeting. Articles V -VI would be discussed at the next meeting which is to occur in May of 2009. Articles VII -VIII would be discussed at the June 2009 meeting. Articles IX -XI would be discussed at the July 2009 meeting. Articles XII -XIII would be discussed at the August 2009 meeting and the final Articles XIV -XVI would be discussed at the September 2009 meeting. I came up with this schedule just based upon looking at the Articles and seeing what particular issues might arise and how long we would spend on them. There is nothing set in stone. This is just a suggestion as far as what we think we can probably handle at each meeting, but I'm open to any suggestions on how we should address this. Any discussion? 10
