Mr. Adams: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Mr. Adams: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />Ms. Sumner -Mack: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Ms. Sumner -Mack: <br />Ms. Kahakalau: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />that. I don't know what other departments are doing or what you <br />prefer in that regard. <br />What we prefer? <br />Change that question. I withdraw that question. What can you live <br />with? <br />What we can live with is we can live with any of that. Right? So <br />I'm taking notes now because you guys are bringing these things <br />up. But at the same time, if you as a Board decide you're gonna <br />send a communication to the Charter Commission...that's gonna <br />be taken with little bit probably more...I wouldn't say <br />consideration but gravitas perhaps. Then simply my notes on what <br />you have said. Ultimately whatever comes will be...if it is deemed <br />important enough it will be put into a proposal and then the Charter <br />will have a conversation about it. <br />And to narrow it down. What were we talking about in number 1 <br />of the request is for elected officials, isn't it? <br />Well that was 1. <br />And at this time we don't review those. <br />Right. And then the other one was the second issue of the <br />contracts. <br />Right. <br />And there we had kind of...I don't want to say differing opinions <br />but we had some concerns with the disclosure and the timelines <br />that these contractors have to work under especially if it's an <br />emergency situation like let's say there's a storm and something <br />has to happen quickly because half of Hilo is under water. You <br />know then to have to go through these multiple steps before work <br />can begin is kind of to me unrealistic. I can see the theory of it and <br />the intent of it as you know as being important just so that there is <br />transparency. But sometimes with these particular groups...these <br />special contract individuals...it is done in sort of an emergency <br />kind of a situation so that's just putting that out there. <br />I would reiterate my statement at the last meeting with respect to <br />what I deem as a sole source contract which would fit the <br />circumstances you presented. And I would reiterate that there is a <br />presumption of validity that they have gone through and again I <br />7 <br />
