Memo To J Yoshimoto, Council Chair
Kenny Goodenow, County Clerk
From: , Yagong, Council Member _
i(31.- Re: Reconsideration of Bill No. 311
The purpose of this letter is to provide written notification to the Chairperson and County Clerk of my intention
to make a motion for reconsideration of the vote on Bill No. 311, relating to the authorization of the issuance of
general obligation bonds.
Rule No. 15. Reconsideration, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Rules of Procedure and Organization of the Council of
the County of Hawai`i, state:
"1. A reconsideration motion is made when a Council or Committee member wishes to re- discuss
and revote on a prior action not yet enacted into law. The effect of granting the reconsideration
is to bring the entire matter back to the Council /Committee in the form it appeared prior to the
last vote on the matter. It reopens the motion for amendment.
2. When a motion has been made and carried in the affirmative or negative, any Council Member
voting with the prevailing side may move for a reconsideration of the vote on the motion at the
same meeting or at the next regular meeting. However, any Council Member who wishes to ask
for a notion to reconsider at the next meeting must notify the Council or Committee Chairperson
and County Clerk in writing of their intention to make such a motion within five (5) working
days after the disposition of the motion to be reconsidered. A motion to reconsider the vote
made at the time any bill or resolution fails to pass final reading shall not be voted upon until
twenty -four (24) hours have elapsed. (Charter §3- 10(e))."
According to the 2010 Hawai`i County Council Calendar, the next meetings are scheduled for December 6,
2010, which are the Council Sine Die meeting and an afternoon meeting relating to the organization of the new
Council. Rule No. 2, section 7, Sine Die, states that the Sine Die meeting is the last scheduled meeting of an
outgoing Council and is "not" considered a regular meeting. It also states that only resolutions shall be allowed
on the agenda, and that no other legislative proceedings shall be allowed with the exception of addressing
emergencies.
Therefore, as a member of the prevailing vote of Bill No. 311, which passed second and final reading on
November 17, 2010, I hereby request a reconsideration of the vote on the motion to be placed on the
December 15, 2010, Council agenda. q Warmest Aloha! C mr. No. 72- /0
