1. A pamphlet summarizing the proposed amendments to be widely distributed and <br />placed on websites for the Charter Commission, County Council, Mayor's office <br />and Office of Elections with distribution occurring after the primary election but <br />prior to the distribution of the absentee ballots, which is early October. Hire a firm <br />to publish the pamphlet and develop a brand for it. <br />2. Ask the League of Women Voters to draft proposed language for the pamphlet that <br />would be reviewed, finalized, and vote on by the Commission. <br />3. Commission members would make presentations to community groups and each <br />member would participate in a few presentations. <br />4. Disseminate information through traditional news media and political blogs. <br />Mr. Nahale -a spoke on recommendation #5: <br />5. Tap high school and college students to stimulate interest in the amendments by <br />having them develop PSAs, perhaps through a contest. <br />Chair Haitsuka noted that the League of Women Voters will generate a draft of proposed <br />language for the Commissioners to approve. Ms. Dursin confirmed it would be done by <br />the second week of August and before the next meeting of the Charter Commission. <br />Mr. Kaulukukui suggested that the pamphlet should include an explanation of what the <br />Charter is and where we are in the process. <br />Mr. Nahale -a suggested that the overview could be an insert. The insert would go into a <br />four -fold brochure which would have the sample ballot questions and brief explanations. <br />Mr. Brilhante noted that the League of Women Voters is only working on the explanations <br />and that the Commission should look to Mr. Hookano's memo, Comm. 258, for the actual <br />wording of the ballot questions. Commissioners will have to approve both. <br />Mr. Shumway suggested that the Ad Hoc Committee should meet again to discuss the <br />language and design of the pamphlet. <br />Ms. Kawauchi asked that the Commission postpone or defer this agenda item. <br />Ms. Osborne asked if Commission Secretary, Karen Eoff could help put together a Power <br />Point Presentation using the outline the Chair Haitsuka has prepared and any other input <br />from Commissioners. <br />Chair Haitsuka agreed that a standardized presentation would be helpful and that the Ad <br />Hoc Committee should meet again before Commissioners adopt the ballot language and <br />suggested the Commission postpone this item. <br />0 <br />
