MR. HOOKANO: Correct. There should be a motion to approve it at this time and then <br />we'll open it up for discussion. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Do I have a motion to approve Mr. Hookano's memorandum dated <br />March 30, 2009 regarding a proposed amendment to the 2009 -2010 Rules of Procedure <br />which provides a process for Commission members to request items to be placed on an <br />agenda? <br />MS. JARMAN: Excuse me, Mr. Chair. Are we approving the memo or are we making a <br />motion to amend the Rules? <br />MR. HOOKANO: To amend the Rules with that memo. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you for that clarification. This is as motion to amend the Rules <br />based upon the memorandum submitted by Mr. Hookano. <br />Ms. Jarman moved to amend the Rules of Procedure with <br />the contents of a memo, dated March 30, 2009, transmitted <br />by Mr. Levi Hookano. Seconded by Mr. Nahale -a/ <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Any discussion? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Mr. Chair, if you would like me to clarify what that memo does, it <br />amends the Rules so that at any time a Charter Commissioner can submit a request through <br />the Chair to place a specific item on an agenda for discussion. At this time the Rules do not <br />provide for that mechanism, but this will provide a way for the Commissioners, if they have <br />something they really want to discuss, to request it be placed on an agenda. It also requires <br />that the Chair has to place it on to an agenda within two meetings. There are also some <br />things that need to be corrected on that memo. The first is that in Article III Section (b) (ii) <br />there's a word "to" in the second sentence that should be a "shall." The Chair "shall" place <br />the item on an agenda within two meetings. <br />Ms. Jarman moved to further amend the Rules of Procedure <br />by changing the second sentence in Article III, Section (b) (ii) <br />to read, the Chair "shall" place the item on the agenda..." <br />Seconded by Mr. Shumway and carried by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Honma, Jarman, Kawauchi, <br />Nahale -a, Shumway, Unger and Chair Haitsuka. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioners Fuertes, Kealoha, Murashige, and <br />Osborne. <br />MR. HOOKANO: So, now we're on the main motion. That was a secondary amendment, so <br />now you are on the main motion to approve the memo as amended. <br />5 <br />
