ORDER OF RESOLUTIONS
Res. 217-09: Reverts the Council Vice Chair, Committee Chairs, and Committee Vice Chairs
Back to Their Assignments Before the Adoption of Resolutions No. 200-09 and
201-09. {Resolution Nos. 200-09 and 201-09 were adopted on June 16, 2009,
which changed the Council Vice Chair and Committee Chair/Vice Chair
assignments, respectively. Following its adoption, a lawsuit was filed against the
Hawaii County Council alleging that the Council violated the Sunshine Law and
further alleges that the reorganization and all post-reorganization actions by the
Council are invalid. This measure rescinds Resolution Nos. 200-09 and 201-09 and
will allow the Council to move forward with its business while the lawsuit is
pending.)
