MAYOR MATAYOSHI : Could I just say that we would place this <br /> on the table and later on we ' ll have an opportunity to look <br /> at some of the other kinds of, as you say, the City Manager <br /> type of situation and we could discuss that with the people. <br /> We would have an opportunity to further discuss this idea. <br /> T5en we could come back again. And as the various depart- <br /> ments come before you you will know their functions and <br /> responsibilities and so on. Then we will sit down and go <br /> over this idea. If you have more stronger feelings one way <br /> or the other then we can have a real dialogue going between <br /> members of the commission and myself. I would certainly <br /> defer at the present time and say, fine, there is no decision <br /> process at this time, just a thinking process. And I 'd like <br /> to see sometime in the future when we sit down again and <br /> discuss this. I shall welcome the opportunity. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. <br /> MAYOR MATAYOSHI : Thank you. <br /> MR. LEGASPI : Back on the calendar, Mr. Chairman, there Lias <br /> a motion on the floor prior to the deferment to Mayor Matayoshi <br /> Chairman Sakata called a short recess at 5 : 00 p.m. <br /> The meeting resumed and the discussion began at 5: 15 p.m. <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman, the schedule looks, insofar as <br /> I have looked it over it looks super. If we can get on this <br /> schedule we ' ll be in great shape,- I have one suggestion and <br /> that is just switching a couple of dates. The thought being <br /> that perhaps before. . .referring the February 20 where we <br /> begin evaluating various forms of government, proposals for <br /> reapportionment. February 27 continue the discussions. <br /> March 6 , March 13 and then we start public hearings. Suggestion <br /> being that we start public hearings before that. In other words , <br /> move the public hearings dates up to as soon as we are through <br /> with all the departments testimonies. We go out cold and <br /> listen to the public and then we pick up the schedule there. <br /> That is just a thought. Rather than begin the review and <br /> discussion and then go to the hearings. I don ' t know, I throw <br /> that open to the, as a suggestion and if anyone has any ideas <br /> on it. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman, that sounds fine, but there is <br /> only one problem. What I 'm worried about going through these <br /> public hearings are, the questions in regards to these various <br /> forms of government and we not knowing much about it. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any discussion on this? <br /> -27- <br />
