Media announcements should come from the Chairman with the S consent of the commission. Once the commission decides on how is it to educate itself, then they can share it with the public by buying ads to make sure it is on the front page or treated as a news item rather than a public legal announcement such as notice of meetings and agendas. Pamela Cushnie stated that the press should not have to take on the burden of educating the public through the press. 1 AKIRA OMONAKA: Can we adopt these ideas at a later meeting? CHR. BETHEA: We have been here two hours, everybody, and we have some tasks to do between now and the next meeting. Should we plan a meeting a week from now, two weeks from now, three weeks from now? What time? Does everyone want on a two-week break while they read the charter and try to get themselves a little further along in the self-education process? NEXT MEETING: After much discussion, it was decided by the commission members to hold the next meeting in Hilo on Wednesday, January 25, 1989, at 4:00 p.m. in the Liquor Control Conference Room. Chairman Bethea requested that Susan Labrenz have the public relations person in the Mayor's office take care of the next public meeting notice. 11/ Rules, attorney qualifications and ads for the position, commission education as set for in Section II of the proposed work plan and the importance of a shared vision were items that the commission felt should be included in the agenda of the next meeting. Pete L'Orange presented to the commission members a methodology of decision making which is has been used effectively to control the length of discussions and deliberations in large groups. David Fuertes recommended a strategic planning workshop/seminar to learn how to determine a common mission and common goal--what to do and how to get there. It was decided that a workshop on strategic planning was not necessary but that it was important to have a common vision. Sherwood Greenwell said that the same methodology of decision making described by Pete L'Orange was used by the Decisions 1988 whereby each person speaks in turn, one at a time, in a circle fashion, until there is no further discussion. Discussion was held on whether or not minutes of the first session should be verbatim. Fred Giannini stated that deliberations and the taking of testimony and discussions of changes having to do with the charter should be by S transcription. Other items can be paraphased or synopsized. 22
