MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. I think everybody <br /> has just about covered everything I wanted to say except for <br /> one thing. . .and that is as far as the amendments, I was <br /> disappointed at the turnout, as you were, but we do not have <br /> to wait for ten years before the Charter can again be <br /> amended. It can be amended next year and it can be amended <br /> at any election year. So there is still a chance should some <br /> people want to approach the council and get anamendment <br /> through, it can be put on the next year' s election. <br /> I just want to say, mahalo to everybody on <br /> the commission. It has been a pleasure meeting everybody and <br /> working with everybody. As you said, we had our differences <br /> in philosophy, but I don 't think we argued in any other way. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: I think the Vice-Chairman <br /> Mr. Schutte, did a bang_upjob as far as the finances are <br /> concerned. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: I think we are doing all right;, <br /> I believe. We recorded a slight overage. A lot of this was <br /> mainly because of the education of the public. The education <br /> committee tried to do whatever was possible to aid in the <br /> education of the public on the Charter amendments. Wenow <br /> know there are very educatedindividualswho do not understand <br /> the proposals that were made-, or who understand the supplement <br /> that we put out in spite of the wording or in spite of the <br /> drawings. So I don ' t think we could have done very much more <br /> to explain it. I think the education committee did a <br /> tremendous job. . .the graphics, the design, and everything <br /> - that had to do with trying to put the point across. I must <br /> say that I think we did the job we were appointed to do. I <br /> have no regrets, whatsoever. We presented what we thought <br /> were good proposals that the public should look at. And as <br /> far as I am concerned, the public did look at it and did vote <br /> and voted their opinion, So I have no remorse over the <br /> outcome of the election. I think we all did a very good job <br /> and I must say it has, indeed, been a great experience working <br /> with a great bunch of fellow commissioners and lady commissioners. <br /> Also, our legal counsel and our secretary did a tremendous job <br /> and I give my thanks to them for the many hours of work done. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Do you have any other comments <br /> to make? <br /> MR. TRULSON : I move for adjournment. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Before we adjourn, I would <br /> like to thank our secretary for a very good job--a real super <br /> job--and the commissioners felt that--it ' s just a small tok0n <br /> we were hoping to do much more for her for being very patient <br /> with us and doing such a good job. So, in behalf of the <br /> commission, let me present this to our secretary. <br /> Do I have a call for adjournment? <br /> -5- <br />
