MR. SHUMWAY: Mr. Chair, I'm representing the soccer coaches. I like your idea of <br />possibly doing two meetings on a weekend; like Hamakua and Kohala, or Hilo and Puna. <br />think that makes sense. I would be willing to give up a Saturday for that. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you. If we do it that way, I think we can do it in two weekends. <br />At least we can do four districts in two weekends and maybe do the others during the <br />weekday. Our next meeting is scheduled for September 11, 2009. If we want to start after <br />the next meeting, it would be September 12, 2009, if we want to do it on a Saturday. It <br />would be either on the 12th, the 19th or the 26th of September. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Mr. Chair, if our next meeting is on September 11, 2009, would that take <br />care of the Hilo geographic requirement, if we had it here? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Mr. Hookano, could we hold the public meeting right after our regular <br />meeting? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Yes, it would be separate from the Commission's regular meeting. It <br />would have to be a public hearing, and then the regular meeting or vice versa. They cannot <br />be combined into one meeting. You would have to adjourn the regular meeting, and then <br />convene the public hearing. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: What about notice, how much notice do we have to give the public? <br />MR. HOOKANO: It is the same as for a regular meeting, six days notice. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: That might work to get the Hilo one out of the way. <br />MS. HONMA: Is there a set time for how long that meeting needs to be? <br />MR. HOOKANO: No, there are no time limits. To address the concerns about how long <br />public meetings usually go, you can't really predict that. It's one of those things, you just <br />never know. <br />MS. HONMA: So, if nobody shows up, then there is no grace period? <br />MR. HOOKANO: No, you just adjourn the meeting and that's it. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: If we have a Charter Commission meeting and a geographic meeting on <br />September 11, 2009, that would leave us with five meetings. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Yes, that might work. Is everyone available for the September 11, 2009 <br />meeting? Alapaki, you are not. Would everyone be agreeable to staying a little bit later to <br />have a public hearing? <br />13 <br />
