MR. ODA: The last time the council got a raise, did the salary commission make-- that deterMination?- _-_- _ MR. LEGASPI : Yes. MRS. KOBAYASHI : Was that in ' 74? MR. LEGASPI : That was about it, right. It was appointed by the mayor, with no council confirmation, of course. They convened and made their recommendations and that was it. MRS. KOBAYASHI : Akira, was that question you had on subsection (b) or (d) ? MR. OMONAKA: The last one the last sentence beneath (d) . MRS. KOBAYASHI : I was just wondering about (b) if we are going to follow the house districts, State House Districts, then would we. . .can you go by six districts? MR. OMONAKA: Under the old charter, the original , it merely had a three sentence thing that merely said the salary of the councilmen be adopted by ordinance and no increase shall take place while that councilman is in office and also no increase in salary shall be made during the last six months of any term. So that was amended in ' 74, right , and this provision was put in. So I think this arrangement is good. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Shall we retain this section then? Section 3-4? Compensation and Salary Commission. Okay. Next we will go to Section 3-5 which is Vacancy in Office. MRS. KOBAYASHI : 'Stuart-,- do ,you want this definition you gave us last time as part. .'.would you suggest that it be part of Section 3.5? MR. ODA: No. The definition of vacancy probably can be included under definitions under Section 13-1. Did I pass out the definition of vacancy last time? MRS. KOBAYASHI : Yes. MR. ODA: Oh, I made it revised. MR. OMONAKA: Why don ' t you change that around so that.,f_o.r the remainder of the disability. . .the guy can bounce back. If it is a four year term, he can bounce back. He should be entitled to do so. . . . . .you are not making reference to kind of a temporary thing. Under vacancy, I can see, that is a permanent thing you are talking about. We' re not talking about a temporary vacancy. -8-
