Hawai`i County Charter Commission -6 December 14, 2018 MS. TODD: Looking at proposal 4, I am thinking that it might, that we might be able to take the language from proposal 3 and put it into proposal 4 which would then house everything with R&D, so the Section on Climate Change and Resiliency Commission just to take that language and insert it in the proposed amendment 4, so I am just going to put that out there so we can consider it and then when we take it off the table then maybe we can take a look at amending it in that fashion. Vote on Motion Commissioner Bergin moved to lay Proposal No. CA -4 (Comm. No. 18) on the To Table CA -4 table. Second by Commissioner Saquing and carried by the (Approved): following voice vote: Ayes: Commissioners Bergin, Galimba, Hamann, Hopkins, Roehrig, Saquing, Springer, Todd, and Chair Adams — 9 Noes: None. Absent: Commissioners Rice, and Zelko-Schlueter — 2 Excused: None. CHR. ADAMS: Alright, without objection, I would like to move to Item No. 6, Communication No. 21, which transmitted Charter Amendment 7. Is there any objection to doing so? Alright, there is a motion on the floor made by Commissioner Hamann and seconded by Commissioner Roehrig to pass Charter Amendment 7 on initial approval and forward for first reading. Before I give the floor to Commissioner Hamann, I would just like to make a comment about Charter Amendment 7 and Charter Amendment 9 and how to, and how we may have a conversation about this. There is, these Charter Amendments are separate Charter Amendments and if there are items that are in, just as Commissioner Todd talked about Charter Amendment 3 and Charter Amendment 4, if there are items in another Charter Amendment that you would like to see in this particular one, so for example, something from 9 that you would like to see in 7, or something from 7 that you would like to see in 9. When we are talking about the particular Charter Amendment, in this case 7, there is nothing wrong with pulling that wording from there as an amendment. When we get to the other Charter Amendment we will deal with that. Again, let's say both of them are approved for some reason right, there is nothing that prevents that from happening as long as by the time we get to our second reading and presenting the Charter Amendments to the Council, that we, that they are in alignment, that we don't have Charter Amendments that would be, if passed, asynchronous from each other, but we don't have to worry about that now. The idea now is to get this information out, much as Commissioner Todd talked about so that by the time we get to public hearings we are being able to understand where the public is on the variety of things that we are talking about. Okay, does that, okay great. Page 41
