I 'm sorry, it is confirmed. It used to say <br /> approved. We changed it. But I wonder if we shouldn ' t have <br /> it in there. What does anybody else think? <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: You want to change that <br /> wording? <br /> MR. TRULSON: I 'm not saying I want to change <br /> it, I just want everybody to take a look at it and see what <br /> they think and have some discussion on it. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: The first one was on the <br /> amendment of the general plan? <br /> MR. TRULSON: Right. Unless the explanation that <br /> is going to be on the bulletin will explain it. I think we <br /> intend to have a poster in the voting booth with the explanation <br /> of the amendments. Maybe that would suffice. Let' s say I <br /> brought it up for discussion, not for change. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Would this be in the news <br /> media? The explanation? <br /> MR. TRULSON: No. <br /> MR. ODA: No, they will be on the supplement <br /> at the voting booth that Mr. Arakaki was talking about and in <br /> the September 16 edition of the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. <br /> The language in the amendments to the general <br /> plan , Mr. Chairman, is basically under Section 3-17 (c) which <br /> is the new addition to the section. . . "Amendments to the general <br /> plan may be initiated by the council or the planning director. " <br /> That ' s the way the amendment is read, so I guess we <br /> just put it in that way. It ' s really no big deal , either way, <br /> as far as we're concerned. If the commission feels that it <br /> prefers the conjunction and/or, you know. <br /> As far as the other one on the confirmation of <br /> department heads, I think Mr. Trulson ' s point is very` well ;taken <br /> . . .shall the charter provide for the confirmation_ of department <br /> heads by the county council . . .with the question mark '-after that. <br /> I think that ' s very well taken. So that can easily:be implemented. <br /> In general , we have, except for Section 3-2, <br /> Mr. Chairman, these are the ballot questions. You have I think <br /> 13 or 14. Twelve here, right now, and of course, there will be <br /> the Section 3-2 which will make it 13. <br /> MR. TRULSON: We, in effect, will only have <br /> 3 ballots? Right? Only two ballots. It ' s very well . <br /> MR. ODA: We tried to compress the language as <br /> much as possible and yet not leave too much room for inter- <br /> pretation. <br /> -16- <br />
