that has been vacant since December 31, 2007. That term will expire on December 31, 2012,
and at that time Mr. Handgis will be eligible to serve a full term that will expire on
December 31, 2017.
Pursuant to Section 13 -28, Hawaii County Charter, there shall be a salary commission,

Mr. Handgis appeared before Your Committee and stated he brings his work experience to the

support on this nomination.
Mr. Pilago commented to Executive Assistant Char Shigemura as to an error on communication
received from administration regarding Mr. Handgis resume. Furthermore, Mr. Pilago noted that
in the council rules, the mayor's nominees should be referred separately, as the council votes on
each nominee individually.
