COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: October 17, 2000 Re: Comm. No. 940
PLACE: Council Chambers
TIME: 10:45 A.M.
Council Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo. Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Communication No. 940, reports as follows:
Communication No. 940, transmitted by Mayor Stephen K. Yamashiro, dated
September 22, 2000, nominates Mr. Lawrence P. Mosher of Council District 6 to serve on the
Hawaii County Police Commission.
A lifetime resident of Hawaii, Mr. Mosher has been retired since 1991. He was employed by
the Hawaii County Council between 1982 to 1991, and the State of Hawaii between 1978 to
1982. A member of the Democratic Party, he will serve a term to end December 30, 2002.
Pursuant to Section 7-2.2, Hawaii County Charter, "the Police Commission shall consist of nine
members...appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council in the manner prescribed in
Section 13-4."
While Mr. Mosher's integrity was not questioned, some of Your Committee Members felt that
the current Mayor should not have nominated anyone to fill the vacant seat. Rather, those
members felt the new Mayor should be afforded the opportunity to nominate the next
commissioner
Your Committee on Finance recommends the confirmation of Mr. Lawrence P. Mosher to the
Hawaii County Police Commission.
