Hawai`i County Charter Commission -5 November 9, 2018 RECESS: RECONVENE: language too, but there's like what is it? Absent exigent circumstances or something to that effect that gives you some leeway, like you said Commissioner Rice, in case there is some kind of emergency or disaster that prohibits or prevents that from practically happening because my recollection was when we were on the Council and we had maybe didn't meet the equal number, we would make it up as soon as possible and that was something that was worked on internally in the Council. And so, we basically, our rules, the Council rules basically said equal number so we followed that but we were given some flexibility so that is a good idea too as well. CHR. ADAMS: So Commissioner Rice are you, is that just for discussion and just asking the legal or are you making a motion? MS. RICE: I would like to make the motion at the appropriate time. CHR. ADAMS: Now is an appropriate time. MS. RICE: Okay. I would like to make an amendment to the motion that, under circumstances beyond the control of the Council, that there be some leeway. I am not saying this very well. That there be leeway to exigent circumstances. I need some help on a good, on a proper legal. CHR. ADAMS: Is there a second for the motion? MS. GALIMBA: Second. CHR. ADAMS: At this time I would like to take a brief recess so that we can work out the exact wording. It should not be that difficult to do that. At 3:09 p.m., the Chair called for a recess. The meeting reconvened at 3:13 p.m. MS. RICE: I'd like to withdraw my motion, please. CHR. ADAMS: Your motion to amend? MS. RICE: Yes. CHR. ADAMS: Does the second concur with that, Commissioner Rice?
