MR. ODA: Before we proceed any further and before I forget, since the recall provision was adopted, perhaps there should be a motion by a commission member to add the words you remember in the mayor, the councilman, and the prosecuting attorney, there is a provision that says they can be removed by impeachment as provided by this charter. . .there should be added, impeachment or recall. The words , or recall , be added, as provided by this charter. MR. TRULSON: I so move. MRS. IWAMOTO: I second. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and seconded that we add the words, or recall, to the impeachment provisions as provided by this charter. MR. TRULSON: Call for the question. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any discussion? Does everyone understand the intent of the motion? Ayes - Yanaga, Trulson, Noes - None Omonaka, Sensano, Schutte, Ishida, Absent - Yagong Kobayashi , Iwamoto, - 1 Cadinha, Sakata - 10 Carried. ARTICLE XIII : MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. I move we adopt Section 13-1 , Definitions , as stated without amendment. MR. ODA: Mr. Chairman. Regarding subsection (e) there is some problem with that. I 'm not sure whether the definition of "district" is necessary. As worded, right there, it is, I think, misleading since we are using representative districts. MR. SCHUTTE : What is your suggestion, Stuart? MR. ISHIDA: Do we need the definition in here now? It seems to me that we were kind of specific. MR. ODA: I would think so. I am just wondering whether we even need that. My feeling is that we probably don 't need a definition of district. I think they included that the last time,probably, because they wanted to be sure it did not mean representative district, for that purpose, alone. But, since we are, now, using State House Representative Districts, etc. , and are defining it quite. specifically, I really don ' t see the need for that provision. MR. SCHUTTE: Are you suggesting, right now, that we delete that particular subsection? -36-
