CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: Is there any further discussion? <br /> MR. TRULSON : Question. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: Call the roll. <br /> Ayes - Yanaga, Trulson , Noes - None <br /> Yagong, Omonaka, <br /> Sensano, Cadinha, Absent - Sakata <br /> Kobayashi , Iwamoto, - 1 <br /> Ishida, Schutte <br /> - 10 <br /> Carried. <br /> MR. ODA: Mr. Chairman , there are some informational <br /> matters for the commission. <br /> Mr. George Tamashiro, who of course spoke to this <br /> body last week , I believe, informed me and Mr. Arakaki that <br /> he would be going to San Francisco, I believe it was , on August <br /> 1,6 and would at that time like to take the ballot language over <br /> to San Francisco to discuss it with the printers to prepare. . <br /> at least, to begin preparation on the ballot. <br /> So, we have, kind of an immediate deadline of two <br /> weeks from now basically, slightly over two weeks to have at <br /> least the ballot portion prepared._ . <br /> Most of it has been prepared in tentative language <br /> except for the changes made today regarding the third option. <br /> The reason why I have made this language and have it <br /> presented to this commission is basically. . .if I can explain <br /> the philosophy behind this. Some of the other counties in <br /> their charter amendments have just had basically one or two <br /> general questions. There was no specific question on each <br /> specific amendment as to voting yes or no. <br /> We are not going that far in just having one general <br /> question but on the major amendments perhaps it might be best <br /> if the voters voted yes or no. The rest of the amendments <br /> that really are more housekeeping than really have substantive <br /> value are not specifically voted on otherwise the limitations <br /> that Mr. Tamashiro mentioned would be exceeded and we cannot <br /> . . .simply cannot functionally put all those on the ballot. <br /> So I 'm trying to keep it within reason and yet not <br /> over blow it and have every comma, paragraph, change, or <br /> whatever, or numerical change put in. I don ' t think it ' s <br /> necessary for punctuation and grammatical changes to be voted <br /> upon. <br /> So I have as the last question as a bucket provision, <br /> so to speak, asked the voters to approve all other amendments <br /> not specifically voted upon. <br /> -27- <br />
