Department is titled, Director and Chief Engineer. But I <br /> think as long as it is qualified in the Charter that the <br /> person who heads this department must be a professional <br /> engineer it should satisfy that concern. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Then would you change, <br /> Mr. Harada, in terms of terminology under 6-2.2 from the <br /> Chief Engineer, here, to Director? Right? <br /> MR. HARADA: Right. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: And if we go down to <br /> 6-2. 2 it indicates the Chief Engineer, but do you want the <br /> change right here that, Director shall be appointed and <br /> must be a registered professional engineer? <br /> MR. HARADA: Yes. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: So you want two areas <br /> changed in 6-2.2. <br /> MR. HARADA: Yes, that is right. The same <br /> position. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other questions? <br /> Anything else? <br /> MRS. IWAMOTO: I 'm not sure about this. <br /> I was just reading through and it says you shall be appointed <br /> by the mayor and removed by the mayor and the next sentence <br /> is, he shall be a registered professional engineer. This is <br /> just a question that I want to find out. Then as I was <br /> reading about the manager for the Department of Water Supply <br /> the manager shall be a registered engineer. Now what is the <br /> difference between a registered professional engineer and a <br /> registered engineer? <br /> MR. HARADA: It is exactly the same thing. <br /> Wepresume that when we become registered then it automatically <br /> makes us professional. It should be consistent, though. It <br /> shouldn ' t be different. The requirement should be the same <br /> for both the manager and my position. I like the word <br /> "professional". <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other questions? We'd <br /> like to thank you, Mr. Harada, and we will consider your <br /> request for further testimony; <br /> RECESS: 4:51.p:.rid'.-it was moved, seconded and carried <br /> that a recess be taken. <br /> RECONVENE: The meeting reconvened at 5 : 04 p.m. with all <br /> members present. <br /> -23- <br />
