MR. SHUMWAY: I was just going to say that I agree with Ms. Jarman. I would be interested if somebody would stand up and say this commission is important. Mr. Takaba didn't seem to think it was that important, so to me if nobody is thinking it is that important, maybe it's a good idea. CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any further discussion? Before we move on to Article VI, let's go back to Article V, Section 5 -1.5. I believe Mr. Masuda has that Ordinance section. MR. MASUDA: Yes, Mr. Chairman, this is Section 2 -8, Hawaii County Code. Essentially it says the order of succession will be upon disabilities or vacancies of the various offices of the Mayor, the Managing Director, Director of Finance; after the Director of Finance, Planning Director, Director of Research and Development, Director of Personnel Services, then the Director of the Department of Liquor Control. CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you, Mr. Masuda. Let's move on to Article VI, Executive Branch, Chapter 1, Office of Management. Starting with Section 6 -1.1, do we have anyone here who wants to give testimony regarding Chapter 1? Any discussion on Section 6 -1.1? There being no discussion, let's move on to Section 6 -1.2, any discussion? There being no discussion, let's move on to Section 6 -1.3. Is there any discussion on Section 6 -1.3? Let's move on to Chapter 2, Department of Public Works. Do we have someone here? I understand someone is on their way. Let's skip over Chapter 2 and go on to Chapter 3 while we are waiting for someone from the administration. Chapter 3 is the Department of Parks and Recreation, and I understand that we have Mr. Fitzgerald in Kona. (Note: At this time, Clayton Honma, Deputy Director Parks and Recreation and Renee Schoen, Corporation Counsel, came forward to address the members of the Commission.) CHR. HAITSUKA: Can you please identify yourselves? MR. HONMA: Clayton Honma, Deputy Director, Parks and Recreation. MS. SCHOEN: Good afternoon, Commission members, Renee Schoen, Corporation Counsel. CHR. HAITSUKA: Good afternoon. Do you have any testimony regarding this particular section of Chapter 3? MS. SCHOEN: If I may, Mr. Chair, the Department of Parks and Recreation is asking the Commission to amend Section 6 -3.4, with respect to County Bands. They are seeking and amendment consistent with Mike Ben's Communication 15 that the Commission reviewed earlier. CHR. HAITSUKA: Any other changes other than those suggested by Mr. Ben to that particular section? MS. SCHOEN: No. 15
