Mr. Robinson: Okay., Mr. Goodenow: Any other comments...just that I wanted to note that...Ku was a great Chair... Mr. Robinson: Absolutely.

Mr. Wiseman: I see...my only concern is if we can...if that can be deferred or if it's necessary to take them out... Mr. Goodenow: I believe the... 5 Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Goodenow: ....consideration...

Oh sure...March 11 at 10 a.m....and I don't think I'm speaking out of turn here but I say we're finish with eight so there will be no action taken...we're just gonna discuss Corp. Counsel's opinion in executive session...we're not going to vote to do anything after that...that would be on the agenda for the next meeting...so there really won't be further discussion I believe on that...it's just to go over their confidential memo...sorry... Well thank you. Thank you...okay can I have a motion to go into executive session for the purposes that I just enumerated on the records. I so move. Second.

DISCUSSION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE OF THE BOARD OF ETHICS OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII. (10:10 a.m.) 10:11 a.m. a. Correspondence dated December 4, 2018 from Vice -Chair Goodenow. b. Propose Charter Amendment for 12/12/18 Board of Ethics Meeting. Mr. Goodenow: On the agenda is listed the correspondence from December 4, from the Vice-Chair...and the proposed charter amendments for the 12/12/18 Board of Ethics meeting. If I could...start the discussion...you know a letter was never sent transmitting the amendments to the charter...Charter Commission...fortunately my understanding is...is that there's still time to get it before...for them to get it by the March meeting so it can go out to public hearing...and it turned out to be I think a good thing because if you recall...even though we voted to approve the language...I suggested...there was a brief comment about whether we should include the term "employees" in the fine section... and we kind of said...we'll leave it up to the Charter Commission but...after discussing the matter with...Mr. Yoshimoto who wasn't there at that December meeting...I would like to propose that we modify it slightly and I have printed out what I'm proposing...pass it 8 out...and there's one here if you'd like it...I made a couple extra copies ...here you go... Mr. Robinson: That's to the one that's in here? Mr. Goodenow: Right...as you'll note...if you look at the "d" section...section "d"...that's being added...in the version we had it had more..."Consider and, if appropriate, impose civil fines established by ordinance" and it continued to say... Ms. Sumner -Mack: Established by ordinance against elected and appointed officers and employees... excuse me... Mr. Goodenow: Yes...please...turn on the mic. Ms. Sumner -Mack: Have you found it now? Mr. Goodenow: No...no...read it out for me please. Ms. Sumner -Mack: Receive and initiate complaints of violations of the code of ethics...no..no..no...I'm sorry...consider if appropriate...imposed...civil fines...imposing? Mr. Goodenow: Impose civil fines... Ms. Sumner -Mack: Consider and if appropriate...impose civil fines established by ordinance against elected and appointed officers and employees found by board to have violated the code of ethics... Mr. Robinson: Where? Mr. Goodenow: This was what we approved at the December 12 meeting...so all I did was drop off the end...half the sentence...so now it just will read "Consider and, if appropriate, impose fines established by ordinance." Deleting "against elected and appointed officers and employees found by the board to have violated the code of ethics"...and I think Mr. Yoshimoto comment was..."well if the County...if the Council which has to enact the ordinance...wants to put in employees...they can...if they don't want to...they don't need to...it just seemed...more appropriate since all we are trying to do with this charter amendment is...clarify that we do have the power to impose civil fines to just chop that off... Mr. Robinson: Oh so this is...this is "d" and this is "e" here...so is there something...a, b, c, d considered... 9 Mr. Goodenow: Right. Mr. Robinson: Receive and initiate is... Mr. Goodenow: That's now...that's "c" Ms. Sumner -Mack: That's "c". Mr. Goodenow: Sony...here's the actual...so I mean...that was...sorry Mr. Wiseman... Mr. Wiseman: I have a concern...in reading J's...counsel's opinion on this matter...in section two...administrative finds...these are...it refers to a...a variety of categories of officials... Mr. Yoshimoto: So Mr. Chairman...we haven't discussed that letter yet...we should probably do that in executive session first... Mr. Goodenow: Yeah.... Mr. Yoshimoto: And then if the board decides... Mr. Goodenow: This was...just we already approved that well whether we need to or not...let's request the Charter Commission to make this change... Mr. Wiseman: On the proposal...proposals subsection d...you're not defining any employee...it's up to the...council... Mr. Goodenow: Yes... Mr. Wiseman: I see... okay.. . Ms. Sumner -Mack: Also I just saw this letter when I came in here...so I'd appreciate some time to read it before we discuss it... Mr. Goodenow: That's not...for executive session. Ms. Sumner -Mack: That's fine...I just want to be sure that we're not going... Mr. Goodenow: No. Ms. Sumner -Mack: Go ahead. Mr. Goodenow: This is...so it's just changing what we already did by dropping that off and then the penalty section seemed redundant...so we...I'm 10 just not changing the penalty section...we had voted to put it "any County officer who violates any provision of this article shall be subject to a fine imposed by the board of ethics as proved for by ordinance" that didn't include employees..."d" had employees...so just to make it simple...and to the point we...I agree with Mr. Yoshimoto...we should just...make "d" simple...not put employees or...officers and leave section 14-6 the way it is in the charter...so it's just...more simple version and I'm sorry it's a little...convoluted because we've had a couple of meetings but I would like a motion that...we...send this...that we recommend this proposed charter amendment and submit it to the Charter Commission. Ms. Sumner -Mack: I'm sorry we're talking about section 14-6? Mr. Goodenow: That's just gonna be the same so in the old version you're looking at what we did before...it's not going to be changed...we're gonna leave the original language in...under 6. Mr. Wiseman: I need some clarification... Mr. Goodenow: Sure. Ms. Sumner -Mack: I'm confused. Mr. Wiseman: Regarding ordinance...an ordinance is something that's in -acted by the council...right.. . Mr. Yoshimoto: Yes. Mr. Wiseman: Okay...subject to an ordinance... Mr. Goodenow: Right. Mr. Wiseman: Right. Mr. Goodenow: We got in our rules...just say we're going to fine you... Mr. Wiseman: Right...of course. Mr. Goodenow: It would have to come from the council... Mr. Wiseman: Right. 11 Mr. Robinson: Well...I'll make a motion...I'll make a motion that we...amend this proposed charter amendment to include this definition of "d" which is abbreviated and that allows us to fine all... Mr. Goodenow: Yeah. Mr. Robinson: And that we then forward this to the Charter Commission... Mr. Goodenow: Right. Mr. Robinson: For consideration...hopefully adoption. Mr. Goodenow: So...maybe it'd be clearer if you just...if you could move that...we could call this exhibit "a" and attach it to the minutes... Mr. Robinson: Okay and this be called exhibit "a" and attached to the minutes as well... Mr. Goodenow: And that's what we're approve and send... Mr. Robinson: Approve...correct. Mr. Goodenow: Okay...may I have a second or? Mr. Wiseman: Are we discussing...the proposed amendments? Mr. Goodenow: Yes...after we have a second I think we could discuss... Mr. Wiseman: Are we talking about 14.6 to or... Mr. Goodenow: Yes. If we could have a second we could move to discussion. Ms. Sumner -Mack: Second. Mr. Goodenow: Alright it's been moved and seconded...discussion...so the motion right is...instead of what we...what was in the packets right...we were going to change 14-.6...because we're adding "d"...we're shortening it...we're just gonna leave 14-.6 the way it is now with no change. Mr. Wiseman: So the 14.6...the underlined is not in the language? Mr. Goodenow: Right...it will be what's in the existing code which would be the stricken part on this old proposal... 12 Ms. Sumner -Mack: So that short part is being kept and the underscored is being eliminated... Yep...okay. Well no... So again this leaves...defers to the council for specifics... Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Wiseman: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Right...it's not changing anything in 14-6...the language of 14-6 in the charter currently is "The failure to comply with provisions of Sections 14-2 to 14-4 inclusive, shall constitute a cause for suspension, removal from office or employment, or other such penalty as the council may prescribe by ordinance"..."Nothing herein shall preclude any other remedy available against the officer or employee of the County as provided by law"...now we were gonna put in some language about...fines but we don't really have to do that because it's in "d' under 14-5..so it seems simpler... Okay. Any other discussion...seeing none... I had...may it's not appropriate to bring this up...but...in this first...in 14-5...the preliminary paragraph...it doesn't...say...I thought I had read somewhere that...there were some question about how many people from one party affiliation could be on the board...is that no longer applicable... On the board... On this board...on this board... I was under the impression I had declared that I'm not a member any party...I recall. It's a different section that applies to all boards and commissions not just our board... Right so that's 13-4...generally for boards and commissions there's provisions that...talks about that...let's see...no more than the bare majority of the members shall belong to same political party... as that what... I think so...yes. 13 Mr. Yoshimoto: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Wiseman: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Yeah...so that's a different section...right... Okay...because I changed my party...official party affiliation to be sure that...we wouldn't be overloaded in my...to have too many on my...anyway...but I was never asked...in my application and the process I was never asked for my party affiliation... Mr. Wiseman. As I recall for sure...was either in this board of ethics...a previous application I made to the ethics commission for the State...I had to declare that I was not a member...an active member of any party...it didn't ask if I'm...you know what party I'm on...I mean I grew up...I never got out of bed thinking I'm Democrat...I'm Republican...I'm Independent...I'm this or that...I'm left...I'm right...you know these things didn't exist in my growing up so...but anyway...I hadn't declared that I was not.. Oh.... So we need to stay on topic...Mr. Chair... Sorry...I mean...let's...right...not really our Kuleana at this point...any other discussion regarding the motion to send what's been marked as exhibit "a" to the Charter Commission and recommend the amendment... But this is relevant discussion because this is defined...maybe it's already defined...as...now there seems to be some...some difference of what we went through in applying that he had to declare that he was not a member of a political party and I was never asked for my political affiliation...so what's...what's the story here...I mean it... In fact I declined...solicitation of being a delegate to a party here...because of this... Okay...well Mr. Chairman...this...for whatever it's worth...we need to stick to the agenda...we can discuss the other portion of the charter maybe at different time...but.. . Right...technically that section is not in the ethics code...it is a general provision relating to all boards and commissions so I can see what Mr. Yoshimoto is saying...we can always...if you want to bring up any other amendments or changes to the charter...you can send a communication and we'll agendize it... 14 Ms. Sumner -Mack: Well I just would like clarification because you know...but...please go ahead... sorry.. . Mr. Goodenow: No...no... Mr. Yoshimoto: Well...no...that's good... Mr. Goodenow: Okay. Mr. Yoshimoto: We'll have that discussion... Mr. Goodenow: Any further discussion...on this proposed...the motion to what's before us...seeing none all in favor say aye...any opposed...motion carries four to zero and I thank you all for your patience on that as it had changed...okay we are now back to...I believe that concludes...eight at this time...so now we'll go back to seven. Motion and Vote: Mr. Robinson motion that we...amend this proposed charter amendment to include this definition of "d" which is abbreviated and that allows us to fine all. All members voted aye. 10:24 a.m. The Board returned to regular agenda item 7. 9. DISCUSSION REGARDING CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF ETHICS MONTHLY MEETING SCHEDULE. (11:52 a.m.) Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: My understanding is that we voted to suspend the rules wherever necessary and already picked dates for the rest of the year... so we could actually take this off our agenda for next time unless.... I was going to suggest that we change it to earlier...any earlier number and...I was going to suggest we change it to an earlier number so it's part of the public thing and we just announce the date for the next meeting...if that's acceptable...instead of saying we have to discuss it...just announcement it so...you know it's in the minutes... Mr. Robinson: Yeah. Mr. Goodenow: Yeah... Mr. Robinson: Announce the date of the next meeting. 15 Mr. Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Ms. Hirayama: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Goodenow: Well that's what we can move a date of the next meeting...move it before executive session I guess...I mean it will be on the written agenda... I just don't know who comes up with the agenda and I just thought how...wondered how difficult it would be to change the order...just so it happens without having to discuss it... Well the reason we had to discuss it was every time we selected the next meeting...if it wasn't the second Wednesday...we'd have to suspend the rules...but we've already done that for the whole year... Right...and.. . There's only date up to June...June 10...that was the last one that you guys did at the last meeting. And part of the rational of having the announcement at the end of the agenda is because it's at that point that you know what you need to do...in other words sometimes depending on what you do during the meeting...you may want to modify or change that date... Make it earlier... But if you want to do it at the beginning that's fine just knowing that...that's you know you're locked in...which is okay to...so that's fine if you want to do that... Right and I suppose it even...for example...March 11 we might want to have changed it based on the meeting so I guess we should leave the discussion in as well just in case... So our new member will be here next time? Yes... And who is that new member? Well they haven't been confirmed yet but...we have inside information by Ms. Sumner -Mack about this person....it could come under announcements I guess... 16 10. ANNOUNCEMENTS (11:54 a.m.) Mr., Goodenow: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Yoshimoto: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Yoshimoto: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Goodenow: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Goodenow: Let's move on to announcements...who is the new person.... I can't announce it...I haven't been told officially...I just guessed...J has to announce it if anybody does...I don't want to speak out of turn on the record... J can you give us an update on replacement for Ku... The replacement...went thru the Committees last week...so that person is still being subject to confirmation by the Council so it hasn't been confirmed yet so I don't...I'm not comfortable in announcing it because it's not a done deal yet... Right... But it is public knowledge as far as who... Who the nominee is... Yes who the nominee is right so I... So who's the nominee.... Who is proposed to the County Council as a nominee...can we do it that way... Yes. My understanding is that is Larry Heintz...Dr. Larry Heintz...former professor of Philosophy and Ethics at the University of Hawai`i at Hilo... Great...maybe we'll have a full board next time... That would be great... Alright seeing any other announcements...the next meeting is scheduled for March 11, 10 a.m. at the County Building where we are and in the Council Chambers...any other announcements anyone would like to make... 17 11.
