ARTICLE II,: MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. I move that we <br /> SECTION 2-1 accept Article II , Section 2-1, without revision. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Second. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any discussion on Section 2-1? <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman. Mr. Omonaka, in your <br /> 3rd Commission , do you recall why the language was written like <br /> this? Was it ever changed or discussed? This Section 2-1? <br /> MR. OMONAKA: I 'm not too familiar with that. I <br /> can ' t recall it. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman, if possible, I would <br /> like to have a copy of the minutes with respect to this. The <br /> reason I 'm asking is I 'm comparing the powers as enumerated in <br /> the present charter as compared to those enumerated in the other <br /> counties. They all seem to be slightly different. I wonder why <br /> the difference. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: You are referring to the minutes <br /> of the 3rd Charter Commission? <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Yes, 3rd Charter Commission. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. Almost everybody <br /> that has been before us in the past nineteen weeks, and even the <br /> members here, have stated that the charter as it is, is essentially <br /> very good. I think for us now to go back and what has stood for <br /> ten years and try to guess or determine what the meaning is when <br /> there has been no input on it. . .evidently, it must be working. <br /> Otherwise, I can see where we can take every page and we will be <br /> essentially redoing the complete charter. I just think that we <br /> do not have the time unless there has been some input from the <br /> speakers that have been before us, both the public and the <br /> department heads, or the corporation counsel, etc. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman, may I direct a question <br /> to Stuart? Will this, as it now appears in the charter, will it <br /> be okay in terms of the powers of the county? As it now appears? <br /> MR. ODA: Section 2-1? <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Section 2-1 and 2-2. <br /> MR. ODA: No problem. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Richard, would you like to table <br /> this until you have a chance to review the minutes? <br /> MR. ISHIDA: No, it ' s okay. It' s alright. I don' t <br /> think the distinction would be that critical. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Shall we question the motion? <br /> -10- <br />
