Mr. Nahale -a moved to suspend the rules <br />to be able to vote on CA -15 at second <br />reading. Seconded by Ms. Jarman and <br />carried by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Honma, Jarman, <br />Kawauchi, Kealoha, Nahale -a, <br />Osborne, Shumway and Chair Haitsuka. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioners Fuertes, Kaulukukui <br />and Unger. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Now we are back to CA -12 (Draft 3) and CA -16 (Draft 2) <br />CA -16: INITIATION OF CHARTER AMENDMENTS AND REVISIONS (Draft 2) <br />Amends Section 15 -1 of the Hawaii county charter. The purpose of this amendment is <br />to make the requirements for an elector initiated charter amendment to follow the same <br />process and requirements as for initiative and referendum. <br />Amended and held over February 12, 2010 <br />(Note: There is a pending motion to approve CA -16 at second reading by Ms. Jarman and <br />duly seconded by Mr. Shumway as amended February 12, 2010 to substitute it with the <br />language in Comm. 212 and to replace, "persons who voted," with "valid votes cast. ") <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: At the same time as CA -16, we moved forward CA -12 to have a <br />discussion, because those two proposed amendments relate to the same subject, and I <br />think they appear to be contradictory. So, I think we would need to approve one and not <br />the other. Is there any discussion on CA -16 or CA -12? Ms. Jarman. <br />MS. JARMAN: Mr. Chair, our commission attorney, Mr. Hookano, has raised some <br />issues regarding CA -16 (Draft 2) that need to be corrected. But I didn't get this until <br />yesterday and really haven't had much time to look at it. I was wondering if we could <br />take the rest of the business and then take a recess, and then you could assign someone to <br />work with Mr. Hookano to look at those suggestions and see what amendments might be <br />made. He didn't make specific suggestions for amendments, but it seems clear that <br />without them there are some serious problems. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: So, Ms. Jarman, you want to postpone discussion on these two <br />amendments until after we get through with the other new business items? <br />MS. JARMAN: Right, and then take a recess to try to work them out. <br />22 <br />
