Charter Commission -1 .Fully 13, 2018 of this that is a public education piece. So, particularly as we begin this process, we want to make sure that the residents of the County are aware that this is occurring and so that if they have things that they want to bring to the table on this, then we want them to know how to do that. On item four—the reason I'm going through this is that part of the rules, as you've seen, is that we like all of the in our discussion, we have individual all of us would have individual, about five minutes or so to do this. So, I'm actually trying to stay within the five minutes. We'll see if I actually get there as we move forward. On item four, page three (b), agenda items, I just want to make sure that in here, where it says, "Commission members and Commission staff may request in writing to the Chairperson that an issue be placed on the upcoming agenda." That's generally the process. That, in writing, also means by email, right? Okay. Then also, below in the last sentence of that particular section, "unless otherwise requested and appropriated, agenda items submitted under this section shall be placed on the agenda pending communications." My understanding is that I also have the ability to pull something into New Business if I would like to do that. The understanding for the commissioners and the commission staff is that such communications would be in Communications, but, if there's something that I feel needs to be in New Business, then I'll put that into New Business, okay? Also, 1 point out to you on page four there at the top, it says, 6(c), "unless a member is excused from voting, silent shall be recorded as an affirmative vote." Alright? Just so that everybody is aware of that. And then alterations to the Order of Business, which is on page five, section 8(b), "Order of business may be altered by the Chairperson or by majority vote of the Commission." Meaning, we have the agenda, Sunshine Law requires that, we'll hear more about that, but if we need to move things around, we have the ability to do that during the meeting. So, those are the items that were of particular interest to me and I wanted to make sure that I had identified it to you. Actually, the only thing that is potential, amendable status for me is the item 1(b), which is making sure that we understand that we're going to be holding meetings, if we agree to this, both here and in Kona on an alternating monthly basis. That's what I'd like to see. Yes, please. MS. RICE: Being from Kona, I strongly support that change in the Location and going to the alternate location, Kona and Hilo. CHR. ADAMS: Would you like to make a motion to that effect which would amend the current motion? Page 5
