Ms. Sumner- Mack: Could I ask a question please? Do we make any effort to post the meetings or announce the meetings publicly? Like in the newspaper...in the events section or anything because currently I can sometimes tell people that we're meeting. But a lot of people don't know we exist. Mr. Yoshimoto: Yes we post the agendas. They're also on our County website. So the notice gets out that way and in terms of the rules once the board finalizes its rules then that'll go out for public hearing. That'll be published in the newspaper as far as that rule...public will have an opportunity to comment on the rules once this board is done with its proposed amendments. Ms. Sumner -Mack: Thank you. Ms. Kahakalau: I do agree that you know not too many people know about this board of ethics you know and our function...and that's something that we all can continue to educate the public you know informally and a letter to the editor or something just to kind of put it out there...I don't think there would be anything wrong with that if an individual whether they're a board member or not...writes a letter to the editor just informing the public and saying hey this is who we are and this is what we do. That may be another way just to broaden the understanding of the board itself or the fact that the board actually exists and kind of the basic functions of it...That's certainly something that I think that somebody can take on if they're so inclined. Do we have any other ideas, concerns...in regards to number 7? Mr. Robinson: No. Ms. Kahakalau: No? Ms. Sumner -Mack: Wait are we going to do 5.5? Ms. Kahakalau: So yes, let's go back to our number 6 actually which is executive session. Mr. Robinson: No. We're still on the rules. Ms. Sumner -Mack: I thought we were still...we were going on to 5.5? Ms. Kahakalau: 6 and 7. I'm sorry I thought Mr. Goodenow asked if there were any other changes. Ms. Sumner -Mack: Oh sorry. 19
