A- <br /> Hawaii County Charter Commission <br /> January 26, 1979 <br /> Page 2 <br /> a Mayor to exercise "supervision and control " over crime investi- <br /> gators, beat patrolmen or others in the department who need to <br /> perform in animpartial and non-political manner. With the <br /> deletion of Section 7-2.7, a Mayor and Council would retain <br /> budgetary control over the police department and continue to <br /> have the power to appoint and remove the individual police <br /> commissioners. This deletion would more clearly define the <br /> non-political nature of county law enforcement, yet would leave <br /> intact the budgetary, appointive, and review powers so neces- <br /> sary .for. control by the electorate. <br /> Should you desire more information on these proposed changes, please contact <br /> me and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can. <br /> lacma_904.1Nts.rde-.5`-----0( <br /> HERBERT M.
