MS. JARMAN: And what will you tell them? MR. HOOKANO: The short answer is that the Commission's amendments go on the ballot no matter what. That is the role of the Commission. The Council has input, but ultimately whatever you decide goes on the ballot, whether the Council wants it or not. MS. JARMAN: What would happen if there are two sort of competing amendments? Then, will it be up to the public to decide between the two, which they would prefer? MR. HOOKANO: Yes, there could be multiple questions on the same subject matter on the ballot at one time. Basically there would be an alternative; does the public want this amendment, or would it rather have this one, or will the public vote both down? Then it remains exactly how it is worded. So, it is possible to have multiple questions covering the same subject matter. MS. JARMAN: Thank you. CHR. HAITSUKA: Any other discussion? Ms Jarman, do we need to make a motion to have Mr. Hookano attend for us? Ms. Jarman moved to have Commission Attorney, Mr. Levi Hookano, attend the Council Finance Committee meeting on August 18, 2009 to respond to Communication 24. Seconded by Mr. Shumway and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Honma, Jarman, Kaulukukui, Kawauchi, Kealoha, Nahale -a, Shumway, Osborne and Chair Haitsuka. Noes: None. Absent: Commissioners Fuertes and Unger. Communication 25: From Commission Secretary, Karen Eoff, dated August 4, 2009, regarding possible site locations for Charter Commission Public Hearings. The Commission may decide at this meeting on the locations and dates for the public hearings. CHR. HAITSUKA: The next communication is Communication 25. I will open this up for discussion. We can also discuss the timing for the meetings, because I think that will impact the availability of some of the locations. MS. JARMAN: I have a question, Mr. Chair. CHR. HAITSUKA: Ms. Jarman. 7
