CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Let' s look at Article XIII , <br /> under General Provisions on page 29. <br /> MR. YANAGA: Mr. Chairman. Stuart, on the <br /> qualified electors of the county, I think someplace I read <br /> in the minutes that the County Clerk Rudy Legaspi recommended <br /> that along with your signature, you get your home address, <br /> your social security number and all that sort of thing. I <br /> don ' t know for what purpose. What is the reason for this? <br /> MR. ODA: That is for verification purposes. <br /> In case you have to contact the individual . By qualified <br /> elector is meant a person has to be a registered voter. Let ' s <br /> say a person signs John Doe as one of the one-hundred and <br /> there is no registered John Doe with any address. That is not <br /> verified, so that is out. If there is a John Doe, address <br /> Keaau, Hawaii , P. O. Box 927, or whatever it is, that can be <br /> traced, right? There may be some attempt made. You have to <br /> be qualified. The coordination has to be made with the County <br /> Clerk ' s registered list of voters. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Mr. Chairman, may I ask Mr. <br /> Oda a question? <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Yes, Mrs. Kobayashi. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI: So whatever is not stated in <br /> your proposed addition, the HRS would take precedence over <br /> that? . . . .this one talks about twenty days. <br /> MR. ODA: No, this proposed provision says that <br /> the court shall sit without a jury and shall proceed according <br /> to the form required for the trial of all civil cases. The <br /> trial of all civil cases requires twenty days answer. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : So it does. . .it ' s about the <br /> same. <br /> MR. ODA: Procedurally, the court rules guide a <br /> . . <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. Would it be proper <br /> then if Mr. Trulson moves to address this particular Impeach- <br /> ment of Elected Officers section to be added to Article XIII , <br /> Section 13-28? <br /> MR. TRULSON: Commissioner Schutte, I would <br /> agree and change my motion to include that. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any second to that? <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : I second it. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Is there any other discussion <br /> on this? If not, are you ready for the question? <br /> MR. OMONAKA: We've heard complaints about <br /> certain councilmen not attending meetings and to get a hundred <br /> signatures to take these guys to court, I think is kind of <br /> unreasonable. <br /> -22- <br />
