opinion that the commission intended it to be whatever election that the current office <br />holder, who is being recalled, was voted into office. That the number be based off of that <br />number, rather than the last general election. So those were the two main issues that I <br />brought up in my memo. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you. Is there any discussion? Mr. Hookano, I understand <br />from your memo, you have a section on the procedures. We must first make a motion to <br />suspend our rules before we can go in and make any amendment to CA -7 and CA -12. Is <br />that correct? <br />MR. HOOKANO: That is correct, because this has already gone through the two reading <br />process and theoretically no changes can be made at this point. But, as I said in the memo, <br />I would rather see this get done here rather than go through the whole process, the <br />election, and then have to clean it up later on with a Council initiated charter amendment. <br />I think it is in the best interest of the Commission to get this taken care of now. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Thank you. Do I have a motion to suspend the rules so that we can <br />consider making changes to CA -7 and CA -12? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Mr. Chair. In my memo I recommended that you make it clear that it <br />is for the intent of making theses changes, so that it is a very limited scope what can be <br />done by the Commission. That way you don't go in and make any radical changes to the <br />whole thing. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Let me read that again as far as the motion. Do I have a motion to <br />suspend the rules so that the Commission may consider making changes to CA -7 and to <br />CA -12 for the limited purpose of clarifying the language in these amendments in <br />accordance with Comm. 257? <br />Mr. Nahale -a moved to suspend the rules <br />for the limited purpose of clarifying the <br />language in CA -7 and CA -12 in accordance <br />with Comm. 257. Seconded by Mr. Kealoha <br />and 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 />MR. HOOKANO: Okay, Mr. Chair, so that was the vote on suspending the rules. Now <br />you need a motion to amend CA -7 and CA -12. <br />D <br />
