Hawaii County Council August 2 , 1989 CHR. KOKUBUN: I don' t think there is a motion at this point . MISS LAI : There is a motion. MRS . HALE: There was a motion that was made and seconded. You suggested a motion to refer it to Committee, I made the motion and Miss Lai seconded it. CHR. KOKUBUN: Oh, okay. Mr. Schutte. MR. SCHUTTE: You know, Mr . Chairman, the Charter Commission is going to be running short of time and no matter how fine we tune this item when it goes to them, they' re going to tear it apart and come up with something maybe entirely different . I think what we want to get across to them is what we are thinking about and what we ' d like to have incorporated in there to be able to get a handle on these various transfers within the departments or from department to department. I think the main intent is to give them that thought now and say how are we going to do it . Is by resolution appropriate and, if so, what can you do in which to make it happen? Putting it back to committee is only going to prolong that. Run it through, pass it off, so we can see how we can fine-tune this and have it scrutinized by the Council so that it can' t just be moved within the department. CHR. KOKUBUN: Maintains the integrity of the budgeting process . MR. SCHUTTE : Yeah, that ' s all. I don' t think keeping it in Committee is going to help it . MRS. HALE : I withdraw my motion, Mr . Chairman. CHR. KOKUBUN: Fine, okay. Then clearly there is not unanimity as far as proposing any specific change to the Charter. All we would want to do then is to send a report over to the Charter Review Commission that outlines all the concerns that were raised here . Can we agree to that? MR. SCHUTTE : Yeah, just say define appropriation, and tell us how to move it, and do we move it by resolution? 465 . 16 11
