MR. SCHUTTE: Then what your proposal is asking <br /> is to increase. that number of voters by seventy-five. <br /> MR. ODA: Well , when the nuts and the bolts of <br /> the thing is, yes, that ' s right. That is basically what the <br /> change is. The rest of the stuff that I left out is surplus <br /> language. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: For anybody to initiate it now <br /> it would be by twenty-five. <br /> MR. ODA: Now, yes, twenty-five. And I am <br /> looking ahead to ten years down the road. The reason many of <br /> these; ,State Statutes regarding the counties are very seldom <br /> changed is because since the charters went into effect, the <br /> State Legislators don ' t pay very much attention to these <br /> general provisions affecting the counties. Because each county <br /> has its own charter and they can make whatever provisions they <br /> want in their own charter to regulate the activities that they <br /> want controlled. Things like what we saw in 62-13 are very <br /> common. They haven ' t been amended for years. Twenty, thirty, <br /> forty years and they have been on the books for half a century. <br /> They are not updated. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Mr. Oda, actually we are talking <br /> about eleven elected positions. Nine councilmen, the mayor <br /> and the prosecuting attorney. They would be the only ones <br /> that would be affected by it. <br /> MR. ODA: Right. If the commission wants to you <br /> can just take the language from the 62-13 and just change the <br /> number or even leave it as it is. That is another alternative. <br /> MR. TRULSON: I think a motion would be in <br /> order. Mr. Chairman, I move we accept this Impeachment of <br /> Elected Officers as proposed by counsel, Mr. Oda. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Is there a second? <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : I second., <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and seconded <br /> that we accept this impeachment procedure that has been prepared <br /> for us by our legal counsel . Is there any discussion before <br /> I ask the question? <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: The motion should also include <br /> the section it is to be placed under. <br /> MR. ODA: My recommendation, Mr. Chairman, is <br /> that it be incorporated under Article XIII , page 29. Somewhere <br /> within that article. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman, could we arrive at <br /> some section within that article? <br /> -21- <br />
