which deals with their request. They could be informed of it and <br /> if they would like to speak, we can allow them to do this. I <br /> think if we are going to allow it openly, it will be open for <br /> discussion to the general public. <br /> MR. .CADINHA Mr. Chairman, I think that perhaps <br /> the order of business should be on a written agenda, 72 hours prior <br /> to the meeting date, and those people that want to testify have <br /> to be on an allotted time. They must be on the agenda otherwise, <br /> I agree, we might open a can of worms possibly and be here for <br /> 5 hours to listen to people rant and rave. The hearing dates, <br /> obviously, have to be open dates. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Do the commission members all <br /> agree on this? That we should request on the agenda that if <br /> they want to publicly testify that they should inform us 72 hours <br /> in advance? <br /> MR. TRULSON: If we have a meeting next week <br /> Tuesday, for example, 72 hours before Tuesday, each one of the <br /> commissioners should have the meeting agenda as it is to be <br /> covered on that next meeting date. If there are any outside <br /> people that want to bring up their own point of view at that ,';: <br /> meeting date, they could be on the agenda, but that seems to me <br /> would cut down the spontaneous sort of chatter that one could get. <br /> MR. =CAD?bNjiAL Maybe that' s too strict. I don' t know. <br /> CHAIRMAN S;AKATA: Kalani just suggested that if <br /> there is any request to be made to the commission here, it should <br /> be like Rev. Boshard. Put it in writing first? <br /> MR. TRULSON: That' s not what I'm saying. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Not necessary. <br /> MR. TRULSON: A person should commit himself. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Ahead of time if he wanted to. <br /> MR. YANAGA: Iserved on a commission previous to <br /> this and we do have on the agenda public statements. Before the <br /> meeting, whoever wants to speak, we have them sign in. <br /> MR. CADINHA Is there a time limit? <br /> MR. YANAGA: No... <br /> MR. SENSANO: Mr. Chairman, I think we should think <br /> of a time limit because I have heard some people come to testify <br /> here and they take alot 'of time. And if people know there' s a <br /> time limit, their feeling won' t be as strong : if they know ahead of <br /> time that there is going to be a time limit. And whoever speaks, <br /> better make sure that they think of what they' re going to say <br /> because some people can get up spontaneously and waste a lot of <br /> time. And if possible, we should encourage them to give us a <br /> draft of what they' re going to present. <br /> - 5 - <br />
