mechanism to compare what the changes are as opposed to what we voted for the last <br />time around. That is a major concern to me. People may vote for it, not understanding. <br />Of course, I'm quite aware that one of our council people said that people didn't know <br />what they were voting for when they created the land fund. I am suspicious that without <br />some mechanism in place, we will yet again call these changes into question. Thank you. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you, Mr. Olsen. Our next testifier in Hilo, please. <br />MS. VICTORINE: Mr. Chairman, our next and last testifier here in Hilo this morning is <br />Ms. Colleen Schrandt. She is here representing the Legislative Auditor's office and she <br />is speaking on CA -14. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Before Ms. Schrandt starts, I had a question. Earlier, you said that if <br />we wanted to-- although we can't take questions now of a person who submits <br />communications or are testifying at this time - -ask if they would remain to provide <br />responses to questions during the time that amendments are brought; that we should let <br />you know. I would like to ask if Mr. Olsen would be so kind as to remain in the <br />audience, in order for me to ask questions later on when we talk about CA -15. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Can we have Mr. Olsen remain until we discuss CA -15, is he is able <br />to? <br />MS. VICTORINE: Yes, Mr. Chairman, he did acknowledge that he will be waiting. <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Thank you. <br />COLLEEN SCHRANDT <br />(At this time Colleen Schrandt, Legislative Auditor, came forward to address members of <br />the Charter Commission.) <br />MS. SCHRANDT: I am testifying now, because I would like to ask that CA -14 be <br />postponed. Because there have been some technical difficulties, I wanted to go <br />ahead and make that request now, through testimony. The reason I would like to <br />have it postponed now, is because I only received Mr. Ashida's correspondence <br />yesterday, and I would like for my legal counsel to be able to comment. Because <br />you only have six members present today, and because of the relationship between <br />my legal counsel and Mr. Shumway, I am concerned that would bring some <br />quorum issues; so I would like to request that you postpone. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you Ms. Schrandt. Are there any other testifiers in <br />Hilo? <br />MS. VICTORINE: We have no other testifiers, just Ms. Nancy Crawford from the <br />Finance Department in the audience. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Let's have Sammie Stanbro come up. Thank you, good morning. <br />
