authorized, at that time, to carry a weapon and he was also involved with the underworld, and as such, he was still on the payroll of the prosecutor' s office. This strikes me as being the same situation. . . .It is nothing to hide, this individual was - an_investigator with the prosecutor's office and as a result he was authorized to carry a weapon. He was also involved, or had been convicted, and gone to court for some underworld activities, but he was hired by the prosecutor's office to act as an investigator, and as a result, they permitted him to carry a weapon. To me, it just seems like the same situation. . .it ' s very broad and does not clarify the qualifications of the individual. MR. ISHIDA: If he is already authorized to do this under the statutes, actually, we are just stating what he is authorized to do. MR. SCHUTTE: If that be the case, then it is " unnecessary to put it in the charter. MR. ISHIDA: If we are doing it we are trying to be consistent. It seems to me that everything that is housekeeping, that he is authorized to do, we have been always granting him in the charter, so I think maybe we should just leave it in the charter. But I don ' t think it deserves any further discussion. Why don 't we call for the question? CHAIRMAN SAKATA: The motion is to amend Section 9-5 with a new subsection (b) , right? MR. ISHIDA: Right, just for the amendment. MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. Then the intent of the motion is not to add more staff. So, they can ' t read into that and say that, okay, now that we have this, we can hire more bodies. MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. The amdndment is merely for that one Section 9-5 , right? MR. ISHIDA: That' s right. It is just an amendment to the main motion., _ MR. CADINHA: Are we voting on the amendment or on the motion? MR. OMONAKA: Amendment, first. MR. ISHIDA: We are only voting on the amendment. MR. SCHUTTE: And the amendment is the addition. MR. ISHIDA: Right. -23-
