I 'd like to look at Section 10-2 , I 'm sorry, 10-12 on <br /> page 20. It enables the mayor and the Council to "establish <br /> special funds as may be necessary for the proper and <br /> efficient segregation of fiscal operations of the county. " <br /> What if we added next to segregation, integration of fiscal <br /> operations? And left it up to the mayor and the Council as <br /> to how they want to grapple with an overview? <br /> BETHEA: You know what? Quite frankly, I don' t know <br /> what that provision is. I have no idea. <br /> CUSHNIE: I know. Well , I know the mayor is . . . <br /> BETHEA: I have one of the questions there. Upon <br /> recommendation of the mayor , is this like the special fund <br /> that the Council created because they wanted to be. . . they <br /> want to also administer funds? Didn' t they do that the last <br /> year or so? They had some special fund? You know, I don' t <br /> know if this is . . .maybe we can discuss this later. <br /> But I think the point is that Mr. Mizuno is saying in <br /> his experience, the County has already made serious mistakes <br /> in going willy-nilly about the computer system on a <br /> departmental level so they don' t really know what they' re <br /> doing. And his idea is that it needs somewhere. . . there <br /> should be some sort of a quality control system. And it <br /> hasn' t been in place before, or at least it didn' t work. <br /> And he' s making the suggestion that maybe there at least <br /> should be some little reference in the Charter or not . I <br /> don' t know. <br /> GREENWELL: It ' s there. But it hasn' t been utilized. <br /> That ' s . . . <br /> BETHEA: The question or not whether we want to mandate <br /> anything. In other words , that we want to mandate some or <br /> any. . . or mandated these piece of (inaudible) committee or <br /> some (inaudible) . But following up on that , I have not the <br /> foggiest idea what that means? Do you, Mr. Mizuno? <br /> MIZUNO: No. <br /> BETHEA: Does anybody know? "Special Funds. Upon <br /> recommendation of the mayor , " does that mean he has to <br /> recommend? The County can' t do it without a <br /> recommendation. " . . . the Council may by ordinance abolish or <br /> establish such special funds as may be necessary" and <br /> proper . . . "for the proper and efficient segregation of <br /> fiscal operations of the county. " Now wasn' t there some <br /> legislative fund that was created by the Council in the last <br /> couple of years that the Council was going to administer? <br /> INOUYE: Contingency funds . <br /> 279 <br />
