currently serving and now that this has been brought out to the public perception, I'm <br />afraid that the flood gates may be open down the road. I'm hoping that won't be the case. <br />That being said, is the current proposed amendment better than how it was written <br />previously? I think that I would opine that, yes, it is. It seems to limit the "shall" <br />language, which seems to be an affirmative act to a discretionary act, by "may," and it <br />reduces the potential hourly rate from five times the current state minimum wage down to <br />two. I think those are two positives, so maybe it might not be the best scenario, but at <br />least it is better than what it was previously. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you. Is there any further discussion? <br />The motion to approve CA -38 as amended to <br />undelete the deleted language in subsection (g), <br />change the word "shall" to "may," and change <br />the reference "from five -times the state minimum <br />hourly wage" to "two -times the state minimum <br />hourly wage." was carried by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Jarman, Kawauchi, <br />Nahale -a, Shumway, Unger and <br />Chair Haitsuka. <br />Noes: Commissioner Fuertes and Kaulukukui. <br />Absent: Commissioners Honma, Kealoha <br />and Osborne. <br />SECOND READING OF THE FOLLOWING CHARTER AMENDMENTS: <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I've been asked to take something out of order. A request was made <br />to take CA -15 out of order. Do I have a motion to take CA -15 out of order? <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Mr. Chair, I would make that motion to take it out of order, but I also <br />wanted to raise that there is also another Charter amendment that we may want to take <br />out of order, which is CA -16, just to have a quick discussion on that. I would ask that we <br />do that first, and then CA -16. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: So, you want to do CA -16 before we do CA -15? <br />MS. KAWAUCHI: Correct. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Do you want to make that motion? <br />Ms. Kawauchi moved to take CA -16 out <br />of order. Seconded by Ms. Jarman and <br />carried by the following vote: <br />31 <br />
