Any. other discussion on this? The question is that we adopt Section 5-3.3 as written in the charter. (A roll call vote was taken and the motion was carried. ) SECTION Pension Board. MR. ISHIDA: What is the function of the pension board? As I read into it, it seems like it is a board that has been provided for by state. That it was in existence prior to the charter and just happened to be carried on. MR. CADINHA: It, may be _an _administrative board because all county employees belong in ;the_,s'tate retirement system. But, perhaps, it sounds like there are administrative responsibilities if there is a question pertaining to the Big Island that is relegated to a pension board on this island to deal with the people, I would guess. But the managing of all the money and everything else is done jointly with the state retirement system. So it must be an administrative thing from the standpoint of handling questions. MR. OMONAKA: I think there was a kind of separate pension plan set up so maybe we should table this? I move to table. MR. ISHIDA: I second. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and seconded that we defer Section 5-3.4 until later on. (A roll call vote was taken and the motion to defer was carried. ) PLANNING MR. YANAGA: I don ' t know if I am in order, but DEPARTMENT this is only a recommendation. I would like to see the planning department and the research and development, the two be merged together. MR. CADINHA: Is that a motion. MR. YANAGA: Yes, I make it a motion. MR. CADINHA: I second it. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been made a motion that the planning department and the department of research and development be merged. It has been seconded. Is there any discussion on this? MR. CADINHA: We have to, somehow, write in though that these functions have to be provided for within the planning department' s -kuleana. MR. ODA: There may be something in the collective bargaining statutes themselves. . .which I have to check out. -19-
