Hawai`i County Charter Commission -2 August 10, 2018 CHR. ADAMS: Any other comments or questions? I would ask, and we'll send you a note on this as well. As we consider these proposals, particularly dash two for regulatory and dash—or point four for enforcement, it would probably be helpful for us to know three things at least. One is the additional expense or cost to do that. Additional people that you look at, this meaning that you're adding to the department. Then who else potentially is doing this. In other words, whose ox are we goring so that you can do this as well. So we'll send you that. You don't have to answer those right now, but it will help us when we're taking a look at this as well for the purposes of being in the Charter. Clearly any of that stuff is ordinance work, but as we take a look at this, it would be helpful for us to be able to understand that. Do you have anything else that you'd like to add to—? I didn't see his ---I'm sorry. MR. BERGIN: It's more procedural and you nearly completely answered my question that today is an informal discussion where the term regulating and enforcement has come forth. But this would not be a formal recornrnendation at this level. It would just be for the sake of discussion and we would later receive a form of offering of this. Is that correct? CHR. ADAMS: The way that our rules currently have us considering proposals is that actually the Commissioners are the ones that make the proposals. So we are gathering the information. To the extent that any particular Commissioner is interested in taking these suggestions from the departments and turning them into proposals so that the Commission can consider them, that's how we would consider them. MR. BERGIN: Yeah, thank you. MR. KUCHARSKI: The only comment I would have on the list, the one thing that was missing is benefit of the enforcement program. That could be a— CHR. ADAMS: Thank you. Please add that. That would be great. Alright, Director Kucharski, thank you so much. e. Department of Finance — Director; Deanna Sako CHR. ADAMS: At this time, I'd like to ask Director Sako, Department of Finance, if she could come forward. (Note: At this time, Finance Director Deanna Sako came forward to address the members of the Commission.) CHR. ADAMS: Thanks for being here. If you could please introduce yourself and then make your presentation? Thank you. Page 17
