Poindexter, Council Chair =r— and and Members of the Hawaii County Council W Fx' LP FROM: -, lhiEileen O'Hara, Council Member o SUBJECT: Proposed amendments to Resolution 101-17: Resolution Authorizing the Payment of Funds of a Later Fiscal Year and of a Multi-Fiscal Year Agreement for Furnishing Greenwaste Diversion Operations in West Hawaii and East Hawai`i for the Department of Environmental Management. Attached is a draft copy of Resolution No. 101-17, Draft 2, that I will be introducing by way of a motion to amend Resolution No. 101-17 by substitution. As allowed in Robert's Rules of Order, I have stricken out sections of content and replaced them with new content as a"convenient and time saving method for handling a poorly framed resolution". The attached proposed draft 2 includes the following changes: 1. Reordering of certain clauses without changes to text; 2. Reordering of certain clauses with text modifications; 3. Addition of one new clause; and 4. Removal and replacement of the enacting clause in its entirety. Due to the complex nature of these amendments and my intention to introduce a"different or better approach to the real question raised by the main motion" (RR§12 p.157), I submit for the Council's consideration the attached draft of Resolution No. 101-17,Draft 2,as a substitute for Resolution No. 101-17. Thank you for your attention to this matter. EO:bl Att. /YO, z, Comm No. Ref.
