Comm.. 5 : Letter from R. B. Legaspi, County Clerk, dated <br /> January 10, 1979, submitting deadline regarding <br /> the election processes mandated by the Hawaii <br /> County Charter and the Hawaii Revised Statutes. <br /> Mr. Omonaka moved that the communications <br /> be received and filed. Seconded by <br /> Mr. Schutte and unanimously carried. <br /> The Chair directed the Committee to take up the next order of <br /> business, Business of the Day. <br /> (a) ; BUDGET OF THE COMMISSION: <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: This budget was prepared by myself. <br /> It kind of relates around the budget that was submitted by the <br /> Mayor' s office in the portfolio that we got the first day that we <br /> were together. However, I have gone over that and revised it <br /> somewhat to come out with some type of workable budget and it' s <br /> based on 36 weekly meetings. That' s because we' re looking at a <br /> target date of November 1979, as a date for a special election. <br /> That would close everyting up in September of this year. <br /> (Mr. Schutte read and presented the proposed budget - See Attachment V) <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman, I would just like to <br /> clarify the point of legal counsel. This is just a rough estimate. <br /> I don' t have any one individual that would say yes to this. After <br /> consulting various individuals, this is something that we came out <br /> with that may be workable. As to how much time is to be expected, <br /> I don' t know. Even after today' s hearings, I, in my mind, have <br /> many questions I would like to have the person go get the material <br /> so we can review, read, and if we ask the counsel to do this or <br /> ask the counsel and secretary, probably they can work together. . <br /> Possibly this may be a fair sum, I don' t know. That' s rationale <br /> behind how these figures were arrived at. <br /> Mr. Trulson moved to accept the <br /> proposed budget. Seconded by <br /> Mrs . Iwamoto. MI Yan_ ga-mo_7-- <br /> Mr. Yanaga moved to amend under <br /> Public Hearings to delete "Mt. View" <br /> and insert "Puna" . Seconded by <br /> Mrs. Iwamoto and unanimously carried. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Adopting this in this present form, <br /> are we bound by it? In the event we find we need more funds, what <br /> happens then? <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: I believe this is merely a guideline. <br /> We know so much dollars has been set aside for this commission' s <br /> review. It' s just a matter of setting up the guideline in which to <br /> follow, at least to my knowledge. Now, we only put a 10 percent <br /> - 35 - <br />
