MR. ISHIDA: Yes , I was going to bring that up later, but, since it is brought up. . .my recommendation, my feeling is that any removal of the planning director should not get the council approval. If the mayor feels that the planning director should be removed, I believe, that should be his discretion. I believe, however, his appointment should be confirmed. MR. OMONAKA: is this part of the intent on the motion on this? MR. ISHIDA: If the second will go along, I would like that to be my intent. MR. CADINHA: Can we have discussion? If we are going to redraft the whole thing, can we reconsider Fish ' s motion and incorporate into Chapter 4 the same thing? MR. ODA: - May I suggest that perhaps that portion of the first .sentence-of Section 5-4.2 be acted upon, separately, so that that can -be done. So that when I do make a proposed revision, that can also be reworded, too. MR. ISHIDA: Was that the one on the approval or the confirmation matter? What was the language we used? MR. CADINHA: Appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council. MR. ODA: Appointed by the mayor, confirmed by the council and may be removed by the mayor. MR. ISHIDA: May I make another motion, now? Is it proper? MR. ODA: Why don ' t you amend your motion. MR. ISHIDA: Amend the motion? Second, would you go along with my amendment. MRS. KOBAYASHI : Yes. MR. ISHIDA: So that the first sentence =of Section 5-4.2 will read as follows: "The planning director shall be appointed by the mayor, confirmed by the council and may be removed by the mayor. " All other excess words included in that first sentence should be deleted. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any further discussion on this? It has been moved and seconded that we approve Section 5-4. 2 with the wording to be, "The planning director shall be appointed by the mayor, confirmed by the council and may be removed by the mayor. " (A roll call vote was taken and the motion was carried. ) -26-
