CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Yes, going by the calendar that <br /> we have set up or proposed , it appears that we are still under <br /> review, Mr. Omonaka. <br /> There has been one suggestion and this is Communication <br /> #83. However, it is not on the agenda but it was designated <br /> for next week ' s agenda. This is in regards to deleting the <br /> sewerage system from the Department of Water Supply, however, <br /> retaining everything else. Just deleting the sewerage <br /> language from the section that deals with the Department of <br /> Water Supply. <br /> CHAPTER 6' SECTION 5-6.3: <br /> Under proposed Chapter 6, Department of Water Supply <br /> Section 5-6.3. This is found in the bottom section of paragraph <br /> (c) . It says. . .In addition, all water and sanitary sewerage <br /> systems of the county. . . <br /> A request, or the suggestion , is that. . .add sanitary <br /> sewerage language but where any part within this section that <br /> refers to the sewerage system be deleted and it be left as it <br /> is with the Department of Public Works and at the discretion <br /> of the mayor or the council through ordinance as to where or <br /> how it should be operated. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. Are you suggesting that <br /> we act on the communication at this meeting? <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : I just brought it up. If it is <br /> at all possible. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: I believe it can be done. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : There seems to be very few other <br /> items to be changed, or just language. We might be able to <br /> move along a little quicker. Stuart, have you any suggestions? <br /> MR. ODA: I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, a motion to <br /> amend that proposal. It can be made. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : All right, may I have a motion to <br /> amend this particular section and that is to delete the <br /> sewerage language from the Department of Water Supply? <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. Just let me add a little <br /> something to what Mr. Harada is saying. He talked to me one <br /> day after this had passed and apparently the current sewerage <br /> function in the county, as it operates today, is in basically <br /> a deficit, or red ink, position. They use money from the <br /> general fund to keep this thing running. His concern was also <br /> that if you put it under the Board of Water Supply where they <br /> are challenged with the revenues of the water system, it ' s <br /> difficult to turn around and help the sewerage function and <br /> perhaps there could be a slight financial wrinkle in here that <br /> they may have to pass some ordinances for. He didn ' t really <br /> make mention of that in his correspondence, I just thought <br /> I ' d add that other concern that he mentioned. <br /> -19- <br />
