Mr. Adams: Just so I understand when you say "these" you're talking about <br />those special contract or politicians... <br />Mr. Goodenow: No. Just the disclosure of interest. <br />Mr. Adams: Okay. <br />Mr. Goodenow: Right the disclosure of interest forms. <br />Ms. Kahakalau: Judge Wiseman, you had a comment? <br />Mr. Wiseman: Yeah. Well I concur with what Ken stated with respect to the <br />language and the statute of officers and employees of the County. <br />My concern would be in I think elected officials are surely <br />included in that group. But my concern would be what... is there <br />any provision or procedure at the end of the year are periodically <br />for an office in the government to check and see among all the <br />employees and others required to submit a disclosure statement <br />who has not by a certain deadline. In form of a governments I've <br />worked in...yes is a public auditor who has control. He would <br />come up with a list, a deadline, and then there's a fine after that <br />deadline if they didn't submit, etc. So I'm not aware of any <br />provision here that would have that check or not. <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Mr. Yoshimoto: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Right. I think there is in the code. I think we are the responsible <br />party except for candidates running for office. Is that...could you <br />refresh my memory on that? Mr. Yoshimoto. <br />You were doing great Mr. Goodenow. We touched upon this I <br />believe the last time. So the County Code specifies specific <br />procedures pertaining to this clause of filing financial disclosures <br />right so office employees, certain boards. Whereas the public <br />officials, their disclosures are filed with the Clerks office so we <br />don't review them as a matter of course as opposed to...so the <br />code basically sets forth the criteria. If that wants to be changed, <br />that's a different matter because...if the question is directed at the <br />Charter, the Charter is more this broad view of what general <br />parameters we want right? <br />I think the question was...do we have the authority to review the <br />elected officials' disclosure...even though they're public. Do we <br />have any authority and that's why I thought maybe it'd be relevant <br />to the Charter. I know Mr. Robinson...I'm just speaking for Rick <br />who couldn't be here but I know that was a concern for him. <br />5 <br />
