MRS. KOBAYASHI : Bill has already started to <br /> work on it. He did say he is going to make sure that the <br /> copy gets to the printer by September 15 . <br /> MR. KIKUCHI : What I did was, unlike the <br /> Maui one, I devoted page 3 to 7 on the Charter Commission ' s <br /> proposals because I believe that it is very important that <br /> the work that you have done these past few months--that we <br /> can really try to educate the people and try to tell them what <br /> the amendments are about. So I left out a lot of stuff like <br /> pictures and stuff that Maui had and basically went into what <br /> your amendments are to the people. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Maybe after you have all had <br /> a chance to see the rough dummy, you might have further questions. <br /> MR. KIKUCHI : What we did, on the graphics for <br /> the proposed amendments was to get sort of like into a flowchart <br /> type of situation where we took the essence of the amendments <br /> and_ ,put it into a flowing diagram of what ' s happening: for each <br /> topic. <br /> MR. TRULSON: I was just taking a look at it <br /> before anyone else sees it and I think it looks very good. <br /> MR. KIKUCHI : Thank you. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Thank you, very much, <br /> Mr. Kikuchi. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Also at that meeting that we <br /> had with the :county, the County Clerk ' s office suggested--and <br /> this is just a suggestion that maybe we should discuss today-- <br /> that there be a hotline directed into the County Councilroom <br /> on election day. The Clerk ' s office does not want to be <br /> bothered with phone calls on the substance of the charter. <br /> They said they can answer, where do I go to vote and what time <br /> do the voting booths close. But if people are calling about <br /> explanations of what the amendments are, they suggested that <br /> we go into the purchase of a telephone number or an answering <br /> service. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Gloria, I think probably we should <br /> get two phones here from seven until six, or for the election <br /> hours, and between the eleven Charter Commission members perhaps <br /> we could agree to man the phones at different times. Between <br /> eleven of us we ought to be able to take care of eleven hours. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE : Won ' t the people that are at the <br /> voting booths be apprised of the--I thought Yasu said that they <br /> had a. . . ? Didn ' t Yasu say that they would be apprised of this? <br /> So the people that sit there are not there at all to answer <br /> these questions if they are asked? The thing is we can ' t explain <br /> anything other. It would be very improper for us to answer the <br /> phone and if there is a particular thing on the ballot and the <br /> individual asks, what should I vote for? Or, what is this? <br /> And recommend one particular item. I think we are in the same <br /> -27- <br />
