Hawai`i County Charter Commission -4 October 12, 2018 CHR. ADAMS: Commissioner Saquing. MS. SAQUING: I am sorry, so what I was looking for is when we are having discussion amongst ourselves right now after all of the presentations are done and we have potential proposals that we want to bring to the table, is there a method that we can do that, like right here, so I would say "I want a proposal to do blah, blah, blah" and it gets written down that it is corning from me whether it flies or not, I am going through the process of offering my proposal which is what we are supposed to do for the process. MR. MASUDA: Okay. MS. SAQUING: And that way it is recorded for us to use and discuss. Not after and not while they are here by the way. It is only for the Charter Commission. That way it separates the broader minutes of the entire meeting where you have only proposal minutes and ideas and that also gives us a chance to look at everyone else's proposals to see how we think about it and how we can proceed as an entity. MR. MASUDA: Okay. Let me see if I get this correct. This is Craig Masuda again. You are looking for a suggestion based upon what Mr. Roehrig was saying, instead of having to search through the whole thing, a section within the minutes that says "Proposals" and the time on the agenda where everybody will bring up their proposals that they want to bring up, new proposals, or existing proposals at that point so everybody knows it is going to be at the very end prior to adjournment or something like that. MS. SAQUING: Yeah. CHR. ADAMS: So thank you for laying that out and making that understanding. This is Chair Adams. What we are able to talk about at a meeting is in our agenda. So, now we have been talking about these items that are part of the Communications right, but because they are on the agenda as Communications, we are able address them. Proposals come to the agenda by being proposals that come to the agenda. MS. SAQUING: Okay. CHR. ADAMS: Right? So when we have suggestions that we receive, so for example, over the last three meetings we have had department heads, we have had the Chair of the Council, we have had the Mayor come and talk to us, some make some suggestions and then we have gone and we have asked them for additional information and then they have communicated to that and we have received that Page 37
