PUBLIC <br /> • TESTIMONY: PATRICIA POPPE: I think we could also approve that it be <br /> limited to no more than 5 minutes per person because I do <br /> think we need to get going and I would so move. <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: Is there a second to that motion? <br /> PAMELA CUSHNIE: Second. <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: Further discussion? <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: All of those in favor of the motion please <br /> signify by saying aye. Opposed. Carried unanimously. <br /> ELECTION <br /> OF OFFICERS: ROBERT BETHEA: Well we have other organizational matters to <br /> do; however, if there is any testimony on the issues as to <br /> the way the commission organizes itself we will take that <br /> testimony at this time. (Pause) I see no one has expressed <br /> any interest in testifying at this time on that issue so why <br /> don't we proceed. Having adopted these temporary rules it <br /> seems to me our next step is to go about the process of <br /> electing the officers of the commission as described in what <br /> will be the 1989 Hawaii charter commission rules therefore in <br /> my capacity as Chairman Pro Tem I would open for nominations <br /> for the officers. <br /> AKIRA OMONAKA: I would like to place a nomination for the <br /> chairman pro tem that he serve as charter commission chair. <br /> PETE L'ORANGE: Second <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: Are there other nominations for the chairman <br /> of the charter commission. <br /> AILEEN LUM: I would like to nominate Akira Omonaka. <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: Okay. <br /> AKIRA OMONAKA: At this time I would like to respectfully <br /> decline. <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: What about other nominations. <br /> SHERWOOD GREENWELL: Mr. Chairman, am I yet a member of this <br /> commission? <br /> ROBERT BETHEA: I think you can vote.
