MR. ODA: As I say, it doesn ' t bother me. <br /> MR. TRULSON: I think the first part of it is <br /> enough explanation. Any occupation , period. <br /> MR. ODA: This is why I want your folks' input on <br /> it. Of course, the language will be compressed to be put on <br /> that card, you understand. Not on a sheet like this. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Stuart, I think if we can get <br /> the intent in the least amount of words to the voter, I think <br /> he has a better time of understanding it. <br /> MR. ODA: It took me two full afternoons to prepare <br /> this with the intent of trying to keep the language as brief <br /> as possible but, by nature, I tend to be very verbose. If <br /> you feel that some stuff is not necessary, well , no problem. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Mr. Oda, are you recommending that <br /> we move to approve this ballot? <br /> MR. ODA: I think I would appreciate it so that <br /> at least we have the commission behind the ballot language <br /> form. <br /> MR. TRULSON: I would so move with the exception <br /> as I mentioned before in Boards and Commissions, deleting that <br /> one sentence. . .Presently, realtors and developers are barred <br /> from, serving on the Planning Commission. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Second. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: It has been moved and seconded <br /> that this. . .excuse me, Bud, restate your motion again please. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Okay. Regarding the ballot, I move <br /> that we accept this ballot proposal with the exception as- <br /> stated on Boards and Commissions. Also, I think there is <br /> going to have to be one more option put in regarding the <br /> councilmen. I move that we accept the proposal. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: We have one exception and that <br /> is within the Boards and Commissions. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Right. Delete the last sentence <br /> of the explanation. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: It ' s been moved and seconded. <br /> Is there any discussion? <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. Really a question. <br /> One of semantics. We all have our own preferences. My only <br /> concern is that the average voter is not going to know what <br /> semi-autonomous, eliminate, research and research services <br /> for the county council mean. I don ' t know. . .can the ballot <br /> be worded such a way like. . .should the county council have <br /> their own lawyer. . .or. . .should the Board of Water Supply come <br /> under the mayor. . .? <br /> -29- <br />
