MR. KUNIYOSHI: Organizational set up. MR. SCHUTTE: Well, then if you do come under the charter, then under the charter now, you are responsible to the com- mission as the charter says. MR. KUNIYOSHI: I'm only responsible as far as pro- viding administrative services to the commission. In other words, such services as, say, an applicant applies for a liquor license. Before the applicant, when he applies for a liquor license, he' s required to provide many documents which has to be compiled and those documents are compiled, the inspectors makes a report based on the documents and that report is presented to the liquor com- mission. At that time, the liquor commission will review the report and this report, for example, covers such things, as the application itself, whether it' s a corporation, whether the articles of incorporation is a part of the report, We require financial statements of the applicant; we require personnel history forms of the applicant; we require a lease, which it says a lease must be a minimum of one year with option to renew; we require such things as a sketch of the premises in case, if it' s a restaurant or bar operation; we require restaurant facilities, exit, this and that. We require a liquor store, etc. So, as far as the liquor commission under the charter, I'm solely responsible for providing the necessary information which the liquor commission needs in order to deliberate upon a liquor license application. MR. SCHUTTE: I understand. What I'm trying to get at, Mr. Kuniyoshi is this. Under the charter the director of the department of liquor control shall be appointed by the liquor commission and may be removdd by the liquor commission. The director of the department of liquor control shall be, and it just lists the number of items that you've just mentioned. What I'm trying to say, under this charter, as it stands today, you come under the liquor commission. 'Is that correct? As it states here? In other words, can the liquor commission decide to remove you from your job? MR. KUNIYOSHI: Not for the present time. MR. SCHUTTE: Why? MR. KUNIYOSHI: As I've said, I'm a civil service employee. I'm covered under, maybe I should be specific. Do you have the transitional provisions Section 15-4(e) ? If you would read that, myself and other department heads or deputies who were civil service at that time. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Correct me if I'm wrong. The Liquor Commission meets twelve times a year? MR. KUNIYOSHI: Yes , the first month of each month according to the rules and regulations. - 9 -
