J• a 5/29/79 Meeting <br /> • <br /> So our recommendations to the Charter Commission is strictly a recommendation <br /> and the Charter Commission will make a review and study and they will come. <br /> up with something that will be placed on the ballot and the people of the <br /> County of Hawaii , the voters, will then have really the final, ultimate <br /> sayinto whatever proposed changes or recommendations with regard to the <br /> Charter. That's pretty clear to everybody. <br /> Okay, again, any other questions? Anybody have anything they want to <br /> bring up atthis time? Anybody want anything clarified at this time? <br /> KAWAMATA: What has been some of the thoughts in the back to date? If you could <br /> recap some of the thoughts that the Charter Commission has generated thus <br /> far or has spoken whether in favor of or not in favor of or about the <br /> autonomy, of the Commission and so forth. Give us a- brief rundown. <br /> TANAKA: From my understanding, as far as the Charter Commission members themselves , <br /> they cannot make any statement_ with regard to their attitude in any <br /> direction until they have completed all of the hearings, which from Toku's <br /> information is they just completed that, so during the time from January <br /> up to now, all they have been doing is taking in testimony, asking <br /> questions to get information and"not making any rule or not making any <br /> considerations; that's my understanding. <br /> KAWAMATA: What hasbeen some of the testimonies thus. far? <br /> TANAKA: Allof the testimony that. has been given to them thus far, most of it, <br /> not most of it but all of it, was that information that we have here in <br /> the office and if anybody wants to read who had given the testimony and <br /> what it was, Wendy had it available, for all of. us to review. I cannot <br /> tell you verbatim what each person had said and. I think that's not <br /> really fair for me to say that because then I would be subjected to <br /> ,making an opinion of what I thought somebody else said and I would <br /> rather not do that at this timeand 'I would rather have it if you had <br /> read something or you interpreted in your opinion what it was, I think <br /> that it should be left that way. <br /> Any other questions? Anybody have any recommendations in any direction <br /> with regard to anything that is being discussed today? No recommendations? <br /> -3- <br />
