Mr. Yoshimoto: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Mr. Robinson: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Mr. Robinson: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />it's forms of government for municipalities up to governorship up <br />to the White House you know. I'm sure there's principles and <br />policies in there. <br />Right...so my expectation would be is that the gift would be to the <br />County of Hawai`i and he's the current sitting Mayor so he's just <br />making a record of it so that there's public knowledge because it's <br />a public office. So I don't see any concerns unless members have <br />them because. <br />I would say that you know when you... if the gift requirement <br />reporting it's not clear to me whether if I were in my official <br />capacity or not I receive something so I think you know on the side <br />of caution their probably just putting it in but reality...I don't <br />know if any of you have been in the basement here under the <br />building...there's a lot of stuff down there...you'd be very <br />surprised...but I...we could inquire with the office of the Mayor <br />but I...you know when you read the code section it's like I would <br />put it in...even if it was in to the office of the <br />Mayor...right...that's probably what's being done. <br />So we're saying probably the disposition is go on into the <br />basement...it remains in the ownership of the <br />County...maybe...we don't really know. <br />What I'm saying is...probably when you read the code it doesn't <br />specify if I received it as an official... it doesn't specify anything <br />that could influence you in your role...like oh they gave us that <br />Okinawan instrument...I love that thing...even if there was an <br />assemblance of that...they put it down right? <br />My thing is not reporting it...it's maybe there should be another <br />column there that says disposition...so you got value, the item that <br />was given, who it was given by, the value of the item...disposition <br />there's not anything that tells you what the disposition is...I mean <br />would they have given the snake skin instrument to Harry if he <br />hadn't got reelected...the answer is no. <br />Then again I think some research could discover some well settled <br />principles... state, local. <br />I assume there's maybe a somewhere else in the code something <br />about that perhaps about your official capacity or I don't...I don't <br />know that but would we have the authority to request that and to <br />ask for that information because the more the better...right I kind <br />10 <br />
