5/29/79 Meeting <br /> The .floor is now open for any discussion in any areas from Sections 8-1 <br /> to 8-5 and any other areas that is relating to specifically the Water <br /> Commission and the Department of Water Supply in the Charter. Are there <br /> any questions? <br /> SUGIOKA: Mr. Chairman. <br /> TANAKA: Yes. <br /> SUGIOKA: Before we proceed, is it true that my understanding is that the Charter <br /> Commission had it' s last hearing, public hearing; it was in Kona and <br /> that' s going to be the last one and there won't be any more public <br /> hearings. Is that correct? <br /> TANAKA: I have the agenda here. The agenda shows April 24 as the last public. <br /> hearing in Puna, but I think they revised it because the Kona one was <br /> this month. <br /> SUGIOKA: They just had one last week. <br /> TANAKA: Yes; that's right. I believe that whatever we would submit to the <br /> Charter Commission will probably not be in the form of a public hearing <br /> per se; but you ,know again, too, all of the agencies or anybody who wants <br /> to can give testimony, can give testimony in writing to the Charter <br /> Commission because they will be reviewing all of the testimony that <br /> they have received thus far. <br /> SUGIOKA: Okay. <br /> TANAKA: Thank you for bringing that up. What I want to do again is clarify in <br /> everybody's minds is that remember that whatever recommendations we're <br /> making today, if at all , the Charter Commission still has to determine <br />• themselves and so that whatever recommendations, it may not be what they <br /> will recommend. They may recommend completely different from what we <br /> are recommending. They will have to digest the information that has been <br /> submitted and from whatever research they have done and come up with <br /> the slate or how they are going to put it in the ballot for the proposed <br /> special election that is supposed to be held this fall ; and even the <br /> election for this fall is a proposed kind of thing; it's not a set thing <br /> yet. They haven't really determined whether they are going to have the <br /> election this year or whether they're going to have the election next <br /> year - they might have it with a regular general election next year. <br /> That has not been determined yet. <br /> -2- <br />
