talking about him behind his back without giving him the <br /> opportunity to answer. I just wonder if perhaps--and I <br /> reluctantly do it, but perhaps this particular section could <br /> be tabled until we get some concrete answers. . .either from the <br /> man , himself, or from the mayor. I don ' t see how we can act <br /> with these kinds of questions in our minds. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Do we have any discussion? <br /> MR. CADINHA: Akira, you people put this in <br /> the last charter. Under the board of supervisors, did the <br /> mayor always have an equivalent that department heads reported <br /> to? <br /> MR. OMONAKA: If I remember the old setup, the <br /> board of supervisors, each member had equal powers with the <br /> mayor and they had the right to go to every department. So, <br /> this is why we changed the concept to say that, okay, you have <br /> a legislative board and an.''administrative .board. I think the <br /> present setup, from what I hear from people within the county <br /> there is no particular problem. I don ' t see the need for any <br /> change. <br /> MR. CADINHA: Well , I move to approve Section <br /> 5-1.4, 1 .5 , and 1.6, as it reads. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: What are you into now, Harlan? <br /> MR. CADINHA: I move that we approve everything <br /> with the exception of 5-1_. 7. The only reason I leave that <br /> out is we have got to =.clarif.y : what impeachment proceedings <br /> are and we cover that one more time. But everything else, I <br /> move that we just adopt as is. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: I second the motion. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and seconded <br /> that we adopt Section 5-1.4, 5-1.5 , and 5-1 .6 as written in the <br /> charter. Any discussion on this? Any other discussion? If <br /> not, are you ready for the question? It has been moved and <br /> seconded that we approve Section 5-1.4, 5-1 .5 , and 5-1.6 as <br /> stated in the charter. <br /> (A roll call vote was taken and carried <br /> with Mrs. Kobayashi dissenting. ) <br /> SECTION Mr. Cadinha, you commented on 5-1.7. <br /> =77-- <br /> MR. <br /> -- <br /> MR. CADINHA: Yes, 5-1. 7. How do we remove the <br /> mayor? We covered that one time with our counsel <br /> about what impeachment proceedings were. The law does not lay <br /> that out. So, let ' s say we have a banana that gets appointed <br /> mayor and the guy, obviously, becomes a difficult person. Is <br /> this removal step sufficiently clear, Stuart? 5-1. 7? <br /> MR. ODA: I don ' t know of anything else in the <br /> charter. <br /> -13- <br />
