ROLL CALL <br /> Members Robert E. Bethea, Chairman <br /> Present: Sherwood Greenwell, Vice-Chairman <br /> Pamela F.

Yuen <br /> Members Francine Duncan <br /> • Absent: James O. Juvik <br /> III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> The minutes of the July 25, 1990 meeting were approved. <br /> IV. PUBLIC TESTIMONY <br /> Sam Page thanked the Charter Commission for its efforts. <br /> V. CORPORATION COUNSEL'S TERM OF OFFICE <br /> The members had an extensive discussion on whether to <br /> change the corporation counsel's term of office to <br /> conform to other department heads, or to remain as <br /> present. <br /> Mr. L'Orange made a motion to treat the corporation <br /> counsel the same as other department heads: i.e. , he <br /> or she would take office upon appointment. Ms. Poppe <br /> seconded the motion. Voting in favor were Greenwell, <br /> Bethea, Poppe, L'Orange, and Cushnie. Opposed were <br /> Omonaka, Nishikawa, Lum, and Fuertes. The motion <br /> failed because it did not obtain the six votes <br /> necessary to propose a charter amendment. <br /> • <br />
