is, usually unless somebody is right on top of it, you are <br /> going to find that boards are serving the director instead <br /> of the director serving at the pleasure of. And this comes <br /> down , and I 'm not talking about government agencies. I 'm <br /> talking like YMCA, YWCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, all of these <br /> agencies who hire the director and h'e'ssup5osed to -serve at <br /> the pleasure of the board. Usually you fin-d the director, <br /> the board of directors is listening to the director telling <br /> him what to do and running around for him. That is exactly <br /> what happens all over. And this is no exception. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: So what you are saying is that <br /> that particular section does not mean very much then. . . . <br /> MAYOR MATAYOSHI : I would like to see <br /> it so I could challenge that, the ultimate end but if you <br /> are going to change it then knock it off. . . <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Well then it depends on the <br /> circumstances of the particular situation. . . <br /> MAYOR MATAYOSHI : Well you are asking me an <br /> opinion and I 'm telling you I would like to. Right now, <br /> I can ' t very well exert it and so I figure well , I can <br /> override the darn thing. But, if it stays the same and I <br /> start working on a project and if I find , like in the case <br /> of the Kohala area and some moving, when the geothermal <br /> starts moving and the industrial development starts taking <br /> place and that water does not come down and we can ' t develop <br /> it, then by golly we can ' t be sitting around and waiting <br /> until they finally are going to decide whether that water is <br /> going to come down. With everybody looking around for a job <br /> and unemployment is on past 10%. Somebody has got to go <br /> down there and press the button and make sure we can get some <br /> developments taking place. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: I notice you mentioned also that <br /> funding for the water board is not dependent entirely or <br /> self-sufficient on their revenue that they handle. They do <br /> depend on the county for a source of survival so I would <br /> assume that there is certain amount of control there. But <br /> if you get to put this under your department you are talking <br /> of public works. <br /> about puttingit under the the department <br /> MAYOR MATAYOSHI : Who said that? <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: I 'm just asking you. Are you <br /> speaking of putting it under the department of public works? <br /> MAYOR MATAYOSHI : No. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Where would it go? <br /> MAYOR MATAYOSHI : The water board. The <br /> Department of Water. Directly answer to the Mayor. <br /> 25:-m <br />
