Ayes - Yanaga, Trulson, Noes - None <br /> Omonaka, Sensano, <br /> Schutte, Ishida, Absent - Yagong <br /> Iwamoto, Kobayashi , - 1 <br /> Cadinha, Sakata <br /> - 10 <br /> Carried. <br /> CHAPTER 3 : Chapter 3, Department of Liquor Control. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI: Mr. Chairman. I move that we <br /> accept Chapter 3, Department of Liquor Control with no changes, <br /> as suggested by the department. <br /> MRS. IWAMOTO: I second. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and seconded <br /> that we retain the Department of Liquor Control as written in <br /> the charter. Any discussion? <br /> MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. Some of the concern <br /> was of the many commissions that we have. I believe the Mayor <br /> stated that the Liquor Commission could possibly be one that we <br /> could consider deleting. <br /> MR. ' CHUTTE: Would you repeat that again, <br /> Mr. Trulson? <br /> MR. TRULSON: The Mayor stated at one time that <br /> . . .it is in the minutes of the third meeting. . .where _'he says, <br /> "if you are considering abolishing commissions, my basic <br /> thinking is that I would go along with abolishing commissions <br /> of liquor. . . " <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: What is his rationale on that? <br /> MR. TRULSON: I think it was the concern we <br /> had stated that the people thought there were too many <br /> commissions and I think he was questioned on ib. . .I 'm just <br /> bringing it up in discussion. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. Going along with <br /> the Police Department and so forth, I believe that this, in <br /> spite of what the Mayor has requested, at that time, or has <br /> suggested, I believe that this section, this chapter, should <br /> remain, as the police commission indicates, mainly because it <br /> is a very political position_ and I don ' t think the director <br /> should be subjected to being removed from this liquor commission. <br /> To leave it under the Mayor, I don ' t think it would be in the <br /> best interests of all concerned. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other discussion? <br /> MR. CADINHA: Question for the motion. <br /> -14- <br />
