County, your deadline is going to be this day, Kauai County your deadline is going to be this <br />day, because that becomes a special law, and is not permitted. But, if it applies to all <br />counties generally, it tells us what our deadline and structure is. <br />MR. UNGER: Is there any way you can look into ways of circumventing that? I mean a <br />way to accomplish what we hope to accomplish, if you could find out if there are any other <br />alternatives that we could pursue, not necessarily circumvent. <br />MR. HOOKANO: I think alternatives is a better choice of words, not circumvent. <br />MR. UNGER: Yes, provide us with some alternatives. Because then we are back to where <br />we started from and haven't really accomplished anything. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: Even if it still remains a year, I think there are still reasons to push it up, <br />because there are additional duties, like education, and making sure people are aware of what <br />the amendments are going to be. That in and of itself takes time, and the more time we have <br />for that, the better prepared the public will be. So, regardless, I would suggest moving <br />forward, but if there are other alternatives to giving us more time to work, I would support <br />that too. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any further discussion? <br />MS. JARMAN: In order to have our Counsel draft something, do we have to make a motion <br />at this meeting, to have him draft something? <br />MR. UNGER: Changing the date? <br />MR. HOOKANO: I don't think - -do you want me to draft a specific amendment? <br />MS. JARMAN: Yes, changing the date to July 1st of the year before. <br />MR. HOOKANO: We can do it here, you can make the motion now. Or, it can wait until <br />the next meeting. This section of the Charter is up for discussion at this time, so it would be <br />appropriate at this time, if you want me to do that work. <br />MS. JARMAN: So, we need to make a motion to have you do it. <br />MR. HOOKANO: Sure. <br />Mr. Shumway moved to ask Commission Attorney <br />Levi Hookano to draft language to amend Section 15 -3 <br />of the Charter to change the date of appointments of <br />members to the Charter Commission to July 1st of the <br />year prior to the Charter review year. Seconded <br />by Mr. Unger and carried by the following vote: <br />30 <br />
