MS. OSBORNE: I'm also away a lot in the summer, so that's why I'm hesitant to <br />volunteer. But I would be happy to when I'm not away. <br />MR. NAHALE -A: Mr. Chairman, I will too. It looks like we will be doing a lot of our <br />work via email, so that would work for me. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you, Mr. Nahale -a. Is there any further discussion? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Mr. Chair, just to give you some information on the formation of an <br />ad -hoc committee. When you name the members, you also have to frame the scope of <br />the ad -hoc committee. You have to state on the record the kind of duties they will be <br />doing, and it has to be as narrow as possible for purposes of the sunshine law. There <br />really doesn't have to be a vote on it. You can just declare that it is formed and declare <br />who is the chairman of the ad -hoc committee and just mention the scope. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Who is volunteering to chair the committee? <br />MS. JARMAN: I will chair it. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you Ms. Jarman. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any discussion as to the scope of the ad -hoc committee's <br />work? <br />MR. FUERTES: Mr. Chair, what was your thinking on the scope? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I was thinking the ad -hoc committee would look at different <br />methods and means to get out information to the public such as media, perhaps mailings, <br />look at the costs involved, the content of the communications; that sort of thing. <br />MR. FUERTES: Is there any budget in mind? Do we have a budget for this? <br />MR. HOOKANO: There isn't a specific education budget; it is just wrapped up within <br />the entire budget of the Charter Commission. You will have a budget for next year, but <br />I don't have the exact numbers now, but it should be enough to cover everything the <br />Commission wants to do. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: I have a question, Mr. Chairman. Is the ad -hoc committee primarily <br />a research, brainstorming committee? We wouldn't necessarily be involved in going out <br />and doing the educating. It is strictly just getting information. I would like to clarify <br />that. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I believe that was the thought. The committee would come back to <br />the Charter Commission at the next meeting with some ideas of how we can get the <br />message out. <br />
