Hawai`i County Charter Commission -5 November 9, 2018 <br />MS. GALIMBA: Hasn't Commissioner Saquing already... <br />CHR. ADAMS: Can't hear you. <br />MS. GALIMBA: Sorry. Hasn't Commissioner Saquing already done <br />something very similar? I mean we have a... <br />CHR. ADAMS: Mr. Henricks. <br />MR. HENRICKS: Yes, you are correct. I believe it is Proposal CA -6 <br />which is on the agenda today that addresses the recommendations from the <br />Corporation Counsel in 1.7.1. CA -6 also covers the Police Chief and <br />Police Commission as that was asked of Corporation Counsel as well, if <br />that should be included. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Okay. Thank you. So we just talked about under <br />Communications Items one and two, Communications No. 1.7.1 and 1.9, <br />alright, moving on to Item No. three, Communication No. 7.6. <br />Communication No. 7.7, Communication No. 15, let me just make a <br />comment here. We will have Communication No. 15 throughout the <br />remainder of our agendas. This is the opportunity for the public and <br />frankly for the Commissioners if there is something specific that you want <br />to discuss that is within the Charter then this is the opportunity to do that. <br />Do you have something specific that you would like to speak about <br />Commissioner Rice? Commissioner Rice. <br />MS. RICE: The Fire Chief in his testimony in front of us was asked <br />specifically on Section, no, Article VII, Chapter 4, 7-4.3 concerning the <br />qualifications of the Fire Chief which now are five years as a fire fighter <br />and three years in a supervisory capacity and his reply was that he did not <br />think that that was sufficient. So I would like to request from someone <br />knowledgeable, either the Fire Commission or the Fire Chief, what they <br />would consider to be qualifications that are optimum for that position. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Mr. Henricks can we prepare a letter to that effect? <br />MR. HENRICKS: I will do so, but, okay, I will do so, that's fine. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Thank you Mr. Henricks. Commissioner Rice. <br />MS. RICE: Well, that's the only way I know to get quality information on <br />that subject in as much as he said those qualifications were not sufficient. <br />Page 24 <br />
