position and the only thing that we will be able to comment <br /> on is to read exactly what is on the ballot. I don ' t think <br /> we can voice an opinion as to one way or the other. <br /> MR. TRULSON : I don 't think we should voice an <br /> opinion on how to vote but if they have questions on what it <br /> means , or what have you, I think we just have to take it upon <br /> ourselves that say it ' s an issue that perhaps one of us was <br /> against and they' re asking us something about it, you have to <br /> just take it upon yourself that you're not going to inflict <br /> your feeling in that. You can tell them what the issue is and <br /> this is what it means about would happen. That ' s up to each <br /> individual whether or not they ' re are going to vote this way <br /> and I agree with you that possibility is there but I think the <br /> 11 commissioners have enough integrity that they are not going <br /> to slant their opinion if someone calls in on a question on <br /> that particular amendment. At least, I would like to think that. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Gloria, has the subcommittee made <br /> any recommendation on this item? <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : No, we did not take action. <br /> We did discuss alternatives. We did say, well , we could give <br /> them the names and the phone numbers of all the commissioners <br /> at the County Clerk ' s office but then that doesn ' t really solve <br /> the problem. <br /> MR. TRULSON: We didn ' t take any action on it <br /> because as far as taking action, we could not, it has to go <br /> before the commission. But I think the three of us seemed to <br /> agree that it was a good idea and we would present it to the <br /> commission for a vote. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : I don ' t know if I was willing <br /> to sit--I think I did mention I don ' t know if I would be willing <br /> to sit here for who knows--because we did talk about a telephone <br /> answering service kind of thing. You know, a data phone, that <br /> one of us could check in at a certain time. We did discuss <br /> alternatives. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE : Gloria, with the authority that <br /> was invested in you at the last meeting, I don ' t think it is <br /> necessary to come back before this commission and get a vote <br /> on installing a phone. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : The idea was that if each <br /> commissioner mans the phone this is why we have to come back <br /> to you for the schedule. That ' s why I wanted to have your <br /> feelings on this. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Would this be necessary in the <br /> light of preparing all the documents and stuff like that? The <br /> flyers, the posters in the voting booths? <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : The Clerk ' s office said they <br /> didn ' t expect a bombardment of calls but the few calls they <br /> will get are probably the ones that want an answer and they <br /> offered this as a suggestion. <br /> -28- <br />
