Dear Cha~~ Araka<_:
~Ae appreciate the time you and other officials from the
County of Hawa_= took to meet with Governor Ben7am~n Cayetano and
my first deputy tic. Keller during my absence regarding the
sar~~uana eraa=ca=ion program in your County. I was informed
that it was a p-cduotive meeting and the Governor understood your
~~oncerns.
T_he me=t=-~ was prompted by a request on behalf of six
members of t:^.E -a~~a_: County Council for an Attorney General
legate opinion. ":~L :axed whetner the various Council actions

You further informed us that (1) you must personally advance
all costs for any defense of an impeachment petition because the
corporation counsel is barred by a provision in your County
Charter from representing an official in an impeachment
proceeding; (2) you have no assurances that you will be
reimbursed by the County for these expenses if you successfully
defend the impeachment petition; and (3) there may be ethical
conflicts in seeking any reimburse:ment for your personal expense
because the six council members who would potentially seek
reimbursement themselves constitute part of the full Council that
must formally approve any reimbursement request.
Thus, you wanted the State Attorney General to give you a
written opinion concluding, first, that the Council has fully
complied with Section 3-16 of the County Charter and, second, the
council members are entitled to reimbursement from the Council
for all out of pocket legal expense they advance in defense of an
impeachment petition, notwithstanding a Charter provision which
bars use of County attorneys to defend an impeachment.
As a ~eliow public officis_, I can empathize with your
frustration in having to defend yourself from what you believe to
be frivolous and harassing lawsuits, especially where you must
advance the costs of the defense and where reimbursement is
n ertain, For the reasons we discussed t the meeting, however,
whether your actions as council members over the past four
years with respect to the marihuana eradication program meet the
requirements of the County Charter involves solely county issues.
These issues include: what does Section 3-16 of the County
Charter require the Council to do; what, rn fact, has the Council
done over the last four years; do these specific actions meet the
requirements, intent and purpose of Section 3-16. Our Department
is an agency of the State of Hawaii, and we do not have any
special expertise or knowledge on these issues that originate
solely from provisions of the County Charter and involve solely
Council actions.
For similar reasons, o give you an opinion that
under the specific circumstances of t e impeachment petition at
issue, you and other members of the Council are entitled to
reimbursement fcr your legal fees, notwithstanding the County
Charter provision barring the corporation cou f om defending
officials in impeachment proceedings. Again,
facers created by a provision in the County Charter barring use

s exacerbated by the relatively low threshold
establ•s ed by ycur County Charter to initiate impeachment. Our
Depart:~ent has no special expertise in this area, and I believe
your C:rperation Counsel has alrez~dy advised you on this issue.
A~ the meeting with the Governor, you also raised the
possib=lity of our Department supporting your request for
reimbLrsement from the State legislature for your out-of-pocket
legal expense incurred in the impeachment defense. As was
ndica=ed at the meeting, while a one-time legislative
reimbursement will solve the problem this year, the Legislature
may asl, how the County plans to solve this problem in the long
term.
As we see it,
and so long as your ar i s your
corporation sel from defending county officials based on
assertea violations of the 9 }•ear review requirement, and so long
as your Charter provision makes it relatively easy to initiate an
~,-npeac ::~e:,~, Cou;aty officials :l::ays be a*_ risk to advance
°rem their own pockets for impeachment defense costs. I also was
.reformed chat your Charter Revisicn committee is reluctant to
propose any changes to these various Charter provisions creating
the di_2mma you face.
F_nally, you asked again whether the State could somehow
restructure the federal grant process so that the State, not the
Count}, remains responsible for implementing the marihuana
eradica~ion program, and thus the State, not the County, would
have xefend and challenge to the program. I have checked
again ..nth and confirm our earlier advice
