better suited as a Standing Committee because they have an ongoing duty. It's not just a one time research scope. For the Form and Style Committee, they said that would work if they did it all at one time; but according to the process that is being proposed, items would be submitted to them more than once, so they kind of have an ongoing life, which is more of a Standing Committee. So my recommendation, instead, is that this matter be postponed indefinitely. CHR. HAITSUKA: Any motion to defer consideration of this proposal? MS. JARMAN: May I ask Mr. Hookano a question? CHR. HAITSUKA: Sure. MS. JARMAN: Generally, postponing indefinitely means it is dead. Is that what you mean? MR. HOOKANO: Correct. Postponing indefinitely would effectively kill the measure, but it also leaves the option to bring it back to life at the call of the Commission. MS. JARMAN: Are you going to make recommendations then for us to have standing committees for the next meeting on these? MR. HOOKANO: I will make recommendations on the next item on the agenda that would deal with the concerns that O.I.P. has had. CHR. HAITSUKA: Any further discussion or questions for Mr. Hookano? Ms. Jarman moved to postpone indefinitely the creation of two ad -hoc committees. Seconded by Ms. Honma and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Honma, Jarman, Kawauchi, Nahale -a, Shumway, Unger and Chair Haitsuka. Noes: None. Absent: Commissioners Fuertes, Kealoha, Murashige, and Osborne 3. PROCEDURE FOR PROPOSING CHARTER AMENDMENTS CHR. HAITSUKA: Next on the agenda we have Mr. Hookano's memorandum dated March 30, 2009, regarding a proposed amendment to the 2009 -2010 Rules of Procedure which provides the procedure by which Charter Amendments may be proposed, approved, and adopted by the Charter Commission. Do I have a motion to amend the 2009 -2010 Rules of Procedure as proposed by Mr. Hookano's memorandum? 7
