Mr. Goodenow: All in favor...any opposed...motion carries four to zero... <br /> Motion and Vote: Mr. Wiseman moved to approve seven out of eight financial disclosure <br /> forms. Ms. Sumner-Mack seconded. All present members voted aye. <br /> **Board moved to item 9** <br /> 7. DISCUSSION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES OF <br /> PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE OF THE BOARD OF ETHICS OF THE <br /> HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER AND COUNTY CODE. (10:09 a.m.) <br /> Mr. Goodenow: We don't need a motion. If I could start...though the discussion? <br /> Mr. Robinson: Please. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Thank you. At our last meeting, if you'll recall, we had two items <br /> on this that we took action on. The first was that we would <br /> transmit proposed charter amendments to the charter commission <br /> and at the time my...our understanding was we had to do it at that <br /> meeting. That's why everything got rushed...because that would <br /> give them time to have it at their meeting before they went to <br /> public hearing.

And again, there <br /> was, I know you passed out what the...what we had at the last <br /> meeting...but it's noted in the minutes, right? That item a. <br /> correspondence dated December 4th You know that code <br /> amendments and charter amendments...we're only dealing with <br /> the first page, cause it deals with the charter...that there was a <br /> typo, right? And we at the meeting said that the last...second to <br /> last sentence of the first paragraph under section 14-5...is new <br /> material and should be underlined. Specifically...the board shall <br /> adopt its rules of procedure, having the force and effect of law, as <br /> will be necessary to provide for the enforcement of the code of <br /> ethics. Just want to make clear that that should be underscored. <br /> And we all did...this is a recap of what we did last time. So that <br /> letter to the charter commission should be sent, I would think, as <br /> 6 <br />
