PATRICIA POPPE: I second. 11, ROBERT BETHEA: Any discussion? All in favor of that motion please signify by saying aye. All opposed. Motion passed. Alright so I'll continue in this capacity. The next involves the election of the vice chairman. PETE L'ORANGE: I would like to nominate Sherwood Greenwell as vice chairman and I would like to explain why I would like Sherwood Greenwell. I think we need somebody from the west side of the island because we are going to be having public hearings. We are going to have public input and there are going to be instances where the chairman can't travel to every place and if we have a geographic distribution of the duties I think, number one, that that is a good idea and number two, Mr. Greenwell has tremendous experience in county government and county council meeting procedures. CHR. BETHEA: Is there a second to that motion? AKIRA OMONAKA: Second. CHR. BETHEA: It's been moved and seconded. AILEEN LUM: I move that the nominations be closed. JIM JUVIK: Second. CHR. BETHEA: All those in favor of the nominations being closed signify by saying aye. All those--is that necessary? PETE L'ORANGE: (inaudible) secretary cast unanimously ballot electing. CHR. BETHEA: I so direct the secretary. We now have a chairman and a vice chairman and I think we've run out of that initial agenda and actually maybe now may be a good time to consider-- AKIRA OMONAKA: Chairman, I don't know if I should put it in a motion form or what we need to authorize the chairman and vice chairman to hire necessary staff (inaudible). FRED GIANNINI: Excuse me, Mr. Chairman, but we've had a request that people raise their voice and speak more clearly. CHR. BETHEA: Akira, Z wonder if I could ask you to hold that a little bit while I would like to have a discussion of this work plan. I think this is a very appropriate subject and I would like to ask the commission members to focus on that a second. And really honestly I have no intent to try to sell 11/ 18
