SUBJECT: Veterans Advisory Committee Membership
Amends Chapter 15, Article 7, Sections 15-61 and 15-62 (b) and (f)
Enclosed please find amendments to the above-referenced Sections of Chapter 15 relating to
the Veterans Advisory Committee which supersede the changes requested in March 2006.
1) Section 15-61 - Amendment changes wording and clarifies that in addition to the sixteen
members there are two ex-off icio members without the power to vote.
2) Section 15-62(b) When the Military Order of the Purple Heart was added to the County
Code, they had one chapter (Hilo Chapter #731), it has since changed to an islandwide
organization. We would like to include the entire island when filling vacancies to that
slot.
A representative of a Korean War Veterans organization has been filling one of four
independent slots. To ensure that this organization is not overlooked while filling future
vacancies, we would like to designate a slot to Korean War Veterans in 15-62 and
reduce the number of "independent" slots to three instead of four.
3) Section 15-62(f) removes the part about the two ex-off icio members since it is now
included in Section 15-61 - Organization.
Please call me at 961-8420 if you have any questions.
Sincerely, ROVED
