CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: Mr. Trulson , I presume that you 're referring to those four districts , also? MR. SENSANO: Mr. Chairman. Just to make sure that action taken on this motion will be in order, I 'd like to ask whether this motion is in order. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : IAre you calling for a point of order? MR. SENSANO: Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: We have initially suspended the rules of procedure prior to receiving testimony from Mr. Yamashiro and Mr. Kikuchi and if you refer back to the rules of procedure, I believe the motion at this time is in order. MR. SENSANO: I just wanted to make sure that whatever action we take would be in order, Mr. Chairman. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: Thank you, very much, Mr. Sensano. I believe we are in order. MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. According to Robert ' s we are in order. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: My point of order was being the rules of procedure as adopted by this commission. We have suspended these rules of procedure prior to taking testimony and because of that suspension of these rules, your motion is in order and I 'm ruling on ghat point of order. MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman. I 'd just like to make a brief statement. It has always, of course, been my position that a 5-4 apportionment would be best where this county is concerned. I don ' t want toljust reiterate what I earlier said but I think what was covered by Council Chairman Yamashiro also represents my views sohjust for the record I 'd like to indicate that I just reiterate what has already been said by me and incorporate it right now in behalf of this motion. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Any further discussion? MRS. IWAMOTO: Mr: Chairman. After all of the months of listening and learning about our county government, I feel that what Mr. Trulson has proposed is a compromise of all the alternatives. It ' s a good one so I ' ll go along with what he has said, proposed today. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: You are speaking in favor of the motion then? MRS. IWAMOTO: Yet. CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Is there any other discussion? -17-
