MS. JARMAN: You also have it for the total votes cast in the election. <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: For the whole county, yes. <br />MS. JARMAN: I just can't remember what my intention was. <br />MR. GOODENOW: Needless to say though, I think it is vague. So what we would do is <br />we would go back and we would try to determine the interpretation of what you guys <br />meant to do. We would go to corporation counsel, and we probably would come to the <br />same conclusion as what we want to do here. As Levi said, he reviewed the minutes, so <br />did I. We would probably conclude that this is what was meant, and it is vague. But as a <br />lawyer, you know, that opens us up to a lot of possible challenge and scrutiny so we really <br />do hope that you do amend it. But, I think this is pretty clear what you all meant to do. <br />MR. NAHALE -A: This is my recollection of our intention of it. I think the overall <br />intention was to make it easier to recall so I think this does that even further. So I am <br />comfortable with the changes and I appreciate you caught it, Levi. I'll put that on the <br />record, thanks. <br />MR. GOODENOW: I would agree with that, and I also want to thank Mr. Hookano. Not <br />that I would do this, but if you had an evil clerk, so to speak, maybe he could say it's the <br />total number of people who voted in that election and make it much harder; and surely that <br />was not your intent. We were so focused on the phrase, "persons who voted," we didn't <br />like that phrase and we were so focused on changing that that we forgot about the general <br />election part. The original draft said, "...persons who voted in the general election." That <br />was the original proposal. We didn't know what persons who voted meant, so we said use <br />valid votes cast or total ballots, your choice. Then you picked it, but we weren't focused <br />on the "general election" language. So we do apologize for that and our thanks go out to <br />Mr. Hookano. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any further discussion? Are we ready to vote? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Mr. Chair, I recommend a roll -call vote on this matter. <br />The motion to amend CA -7 with the <br />language recommended by Mr. Hookano in <br />Comm. 257 was carried by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Fuertes, Honma, <br />Jarman, Kawauchi, Kealoha, Nahale -a, <br />Unger and Chair Haitsuka. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioners Kaulukukui, <br />Shumway and Osborne. <br />12 <br />
