CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Before we go on to the business
of the day, we have the Charter Commission budget before us.
This would be for the publication, as printed, and the allocation
right now as stated on your financial sheet. There are some
blank areas here and I would like to call on Mr. Arakaki for any
other information on this. Do you have anything on this, Yasuki?
MR. ARAKAKI : Since I gave this to Gloria some
time ago, I would like to make some amendments to the first part
of this expenditure on the Hawaii Tribune-Herald.
The figure for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald 16-page
tabloid, 19,000 copies, which has a tentative schedule to go out
on September 16, Sunday, is to be $5,349. 12.
We are going to print 45 ,000 extra copies , 5 ,000
to be distributed by the West Hawaii Today and 40,000 to precinct
and station distribution by the Election Division of the County
Clerk 's Office. That amount will be $2,000.
West Hawaii Today distribution of the 5 ,000 copies
will be $640.
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald costs on printing 3,000
copies, typeset, tabloid and all the complete detail will cost
us $1;026.
The figure on Hawaii Times on Kanji Katakana
typeset and the distribution of 1 , 200 Big Island subscribers
and an extra printing of 5 , 000 copies--those .:figures are not
available as yet.
The translation cost for the 16-page tabloid on
the Japanese is $2,500. The same for the Ilocano translation.
I see by the reading of the minutes, Bill Kikuchi ' s
expenditures will be $3,600.
On the figures on the sheet that I gave to
Mrs. Kobayashi last week, the translation costs on ballots and
posters will be paid by the Election Division, not from your
account.
This is my report and if we can get The Hawaii
Times costs, I can tell you exactly what the total cost is going
to be for your commission ' s account. If you have any questions?
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: The Japanese translation will
be the same as the Ilocano, right?
-2-
MR. ARAKAKI: Correct. I was able to anchor
this down because I had some figures to bargain with.
Actually, the cost of the Maui one was $2,800 because the
$300 extra was sept to Japan for proofreading for proper
interpretation of a legal document. We decided not to send
them to Japan so we will save the $300. The same thing with
the Ilocano one. The Ilocano one was $2,680, instead of
$2,500. The $180 was paid to this individual for proofreading,
for the actual time performed, but I was able to have an
agreement that proofreading on work done, typeset, by the
Tribune-Herald--the cost of proofreading will be included in
this amount also.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Do any of the other
commissioners have any questions to ask Mr. Arakaki on the
printing costs and budget? Nothing? Thank you very much,
Mr. Arakaki.
MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman. Before you go into
the business of the day, I would just like to orally express
my appreciation to my fellow commission members for consenting
to my request of last week. I know this creates somewhat of a
burden upon us, but, again, I just want to take this time to
express my appreciation to all of you.
ARTICLE III CHAIRMAN SAKATA: We will go into the business
SECTION 3-2: of the day which would be the finalization of
the charter revisions.
When I left and in the next one of the meetings
I think a motion that was on the floor was deferred. It was
Mr. Trulson 's motion and this was deferred to the next meeting.
The meeting was postponed last week and action on that was
deferred until this one. Mr. Trulson, what was that motion?
MR. TRULSON: That motion was to amend the
ballot to have a single option and that was the 5-4 council
makeup. The five from the 4 representative districts. . .one from
district #1, two from district #2, one from districts #3 and #4.
And four at-large. The at-large would be 4-year terms. The
districts would be 2-year terms with district residency require-
ments. That' s the motion.
MR. CADINHA: I second.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any questions on this?
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. I would like to
comment on my reasoning for the motion.
I feel that we need the 9 member council. I feel
that the 5-4 with this type of setup will give each district a
majority representation. In other words, each person in each
district is voting for 5 councilmen which is a majority of the
council makeup.
-3-
I think that it will serve the county better
than any other makeup for both East and West Hawaii. We have
had a lot of debate from people who are in favor of a 5-4.
Last week we had people here who spoke in favor of the 5-4.
Mr. Santos stated the 5-2 or the 5-4. I think that ' s good
reason to support this amendment.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other discussion? .
MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman. I 'd like to just
state again in support of this 5-4 plan. I don 't want to
again just reiterate what has earlier been stated in our
commission discussions. However, briefly, I would just like
to state that we've been going over this many, many times
all the options that were presented to the commission, in our
attempt to present what we felt to be best, to the citizens
of the county.
We had originally indicated that possibly we
should have some options presented to them. However, in view
of the fact that we are unable to do that, we have to decide
at least on one plan to be presented to the citizens and, of
course, today we will have to decide which one that will be.
There have been many arguments for and against
each of the plans. I cannot state that any of the arguments
that have been presented are totally inapplicable and erroneous.
The arguments in support of each have some merit, I must add.
They have been based upon certain arguments and presentations
that were made during our public hearings.
I would just like to indicate that the major
alternatives to the 5-4 plan, apparently, are what we have
classified to be the 5-2 and the 9 single member.
I would just like to indicate to all of you that as
far as the 5-2 is concerned , I think the basis was to present a
plan to the citizens whereby there has been much in the way of
requests and arguments in behalf of more local representation.
Consequently, this is why I believe the commission desired to have
at least a limited form of local representation. This is why we
decided to have at least five. Then the 2 at-large was decided
upon in view of the fact, I think, there was a sizeable portion
of people as far as this island is concerned who felt that at-
large candidates would be more beneficial.
The only thing that I have as far as that is
concerned, is that I cannot really quarrel whether seven should
be a good number or nine, but, I think, if we are to make the
5-2 a workable kind of situation--or what I refer to as the seven
member council to be workable--then I think the breakdown should
be a 4-3 type of situation. I cannot see how 5-2 would be
workable. Mainly because as I had indicated, which is in accord
with my feelings of a 5-4, that each electorate will be able to
vote for a majority of county council members in that type of
makeup.
-4-
In a 9 single member district, I think one of
the main arguments that has been presented in behalf of that
is that they wanted local representation because they felt
that the at-large representation took that away. In other
words, gave the more populated areas a so-called control over who
our councilmembers would be and if we had single member
districts, then we would be able to probably have more diverse
representation in the council.
The only weakness I feel in that position is that
because of the makeup of this island and this county, that to
separate and divide this island into 9 single member districts,
I think, what is going to come out is you're going to have
districts whereby a small portion, or a portion of that
district will be able to control that particular representative
or councilman from that specific district which, in turn, will
create a situation where a small portion of residents within
that district will forever be disenfranchised. The problem I
see is where you have a situation where Ka'u might be involved
where you have Naalehu and Pahala and how are you going to
decide a situation where there is a huge rift between, say,
Naalehu and Pahala? The more populated area is going to be
able to control the representative from that district. What
I think the 9 member plan was attempting to correct, might,
instead, be counter-productive. This is one reason why I
believe that at this stage of the development of the County of
Hawaii, this 9 single member district is not workable. And
this is why, I believe, we should have a situation where we do
have some single member representation, some district represent-
ation and then we have some at-large.
I believe that as far as this county is concerned
it' s_,best that we have a ,5-4 form of representation as far as
council members are concerned and this is why I believe we should
have it.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other discussion on this?
None? Are you ready for the question?
Mr. Trulson ' s motion
on the floor
would be five
from the districts and four at-large. Right?
Is everybody ready for the question?
Ayes - Cadinha, Noes - Yanaga,
Trulson, Kobayashi,
Iwamoto, Yagong,
Ishida, Omonaka,
Schutte Sensano,
5 Sakata
- 6
Not carried.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: In June I voted for the 5-2
and when I 'left on my vacation, I thought that everthing was
going to be all settled and when I came back everything was up
in the air and because of the options that were not feasible
to put on the ballot and we had to go back to this basic
-5-
problem of trying to get one option and then having the status
quo so that we can get a majority on the ballot. . . looking at
the proposals from all and having this agony of trying to make
the final decision again today, I have to go to my former
decision of 5-2. So I would say "nay" on this. So ny vote
will be no.
What is the count, now? 6-5? Six noes and
five yeas.
MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. I would like to
move that we adopt a 5-2 plan as we previously discussed and
I want my motion to include that, similar to Mr. Trulson,
we just have one option. The present status quo and this
so-called 5-2 plan.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: We have the motion. Do I
have a second to that?
MRS. KOBAYASHI: Second.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and
seconded that we go on this 5-2, 5 district and 2 at-large
and that this be one option with the status quo.
MR. ISHIDA: Mr. Chairman. Just for the
record, on this 5-2 could we also include the terms so that
there won't be any question?
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: That would be 5 councilmen
from the districts serving a 2-year term and 2 at-large
councilmen serving a 4-year term. That ' s the term, right?
MR. OMONAKA: Taken from the respective current
House Representative Districts and the only exception being
the 2nd district getting two councilmen until such time as
the reapportionment committee can reapportion the districts.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other discussion on this?
If not, are you ready for the question?
MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. Mr. Sensano, awhile
back, recommended a hybrid situation that I didn 't pa'/J.much
attention to but it seems to make a lot of sense to me. I 'd
like to move that we amend Mr. Omonaka' s motion to read 5 district
candidates ;fOr;:;2-year terms, 2 at-large candidates from East
Hawaii and 2 at-large candidates from West Hawaii. The West
Hawaii candidates would mean South Kohala thr•ough. Ka'u. The West
Hawaii candidates would be North Kohala through Kona.
MR. SCHUTTE: I second that motion.
MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. I would like to
call a point of order. I think the concept here is a 7 man
council and I don 't think that amendment is germane to the motion.
Can we have a ruling on that?
-6-
MR. ODA: Mr. Chairman, as far as I can tell, the
objection, if I can call_ it .that, is quite appropriate. This
is changing the entire nature of the motion which was previously
made so it would require a new motion at such time as it can
be entertained.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Then Mr. Omonaka' s motion
still stands?
MR. ODA: Right.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Cadinha, do you have
anything to say?
MR. CADINHA: No.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Are you ready for the question?
The motion now is 5 from the districts and 2 at-large and the
terms will be 5 district councilmen for 2-year terms and 2 at-
large councilmen for 4-year terms.
MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. I don't know how
good it will be but whatever the situation, I 'd like to say
something in regard to this. I would like to call your attention
to a statement made by Mr. Sensano. A very eloquent statement
made on July 18, 1979 at this Charter Review Commission and I
quote. . ."Only a fool or a very strong headed individual would
not change his mind if a compromise is required on an issue,
but not on a principle , and to me the member composition of the
council is an issue, not a principle. "
I have strongly supported district representation
as I believe that, everyone should be accountable to the area
that he or she is elected to represent. The at-large candidacy
is e*cellent if one can adhere to the philosophy that representa-
tion is considered and excelled to all the constituents within
the county.
I know there is a present motion on the floor
for a 5-2 council makeup. I certainly hope that those individuals
that would have it in their minds to be so considerate as to
take into consideration the 5-2-2 which would give the Western
side of the island an at-large--2 at-large candidates and also
the Eastern side of the island 2 at-large candidates with a
5 district makeup.
What this all amounts to, as far as I 'm concerned,
is Mr. Sensano made a very eloquent statement when he said that.
I think I made note of that at that time and I 'd like to make
note of it again. I would ,to hope that we could suggest a
proposal of 5-2-2 and that it would be carried by this commission..
today. I -think- the -responsibility- that we have has a lot to
do with the consideration that we have for those individuals we
represent and giving them the opportunity to make their own
decisions. If you are talking about an at-large situation, you
have that right now. What we're looking at is bringing government
a little closer to the people and all we're looking for is two
more additional candidates, if this be the case, for the Western
side of island.
-7-
I don 't know if this is a point of order .
Whether the 5-2 proposal that Mr. Omonaka has suggested is
open to a 5-2-2 consideration or not.
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. I 'd like to
concur with Commissioner Schutte and I would also support the
5-2-2 compromise.
MR. SENSANO: Mr. Chairman. just to clear the
record, I would like to explain when I made the statement
that I was under the impression that we could get two proposals
in addition to the present 9 member council. Therefore, at
that time, I proposed that the two in addition to the present
9 setup, 9 member council setup that we have, be presented to
the voters. 5-2 and 5-4, seven and nine member council. But
since we only have one additional choice in addition to the
present 9 member council, that will change the background of
my statement.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any other comments or
discussion on this? Are you ready for the question?
Ayes - Kobayashi, Noes Trulson,
Yagong, Iwamoto,
Omonaka, Ishida,
Sensano, Schutte,
Yanaga, Cadinha
Sakata - 5
- 6
Carried.
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. I would like to
make a motion to amend the amendment of the 5-2 to change it
to 5-2-2 as outlined by Commissioner Schutte.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Oda, this has carried.
MR. TRULSON: I made a motion for an amendment
to the amendment.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: We voted on this and it has
been carried. Can we make an amendment to change this now?
NRR. ODA: I think the present motion is
appropriate, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: You want to go to a 5. .?
MR. TRULSON: A 5-2-2.
Mid. CADINHA: I ' ll second.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any discussion on this motion
of 5-2-2?
-8-
MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. Did you accept that
motion?
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Oda said it was okay.
MR. OMONAKA: I thought we already acted on this.
It carried by the majority of the commissioners and I think any
other motion to that subject would be out of order unless there
was a motion to reconsider.
If the subject matter is carried upon by the
majority of the commission, are you saying that the same subject
matter can come up again?
MR. ODA: I 'm just basing it on what we have
already done.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: The motion is on the 5-2-2.
Mr. Cadinha, you seconded this, didn 't you?
MR. CADINHA: Yes.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any discussion on this?
MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman. I still am not too
clear. What motion are you amending? The motion is already
carried.
MR. TRULSON: That' s a motion to amend the
amendment that has already been carried. Mr. Cadinha could
not do it before because your motion for amendment had not
been voted on. Now it has been and as I understand the rules
of order, you can make a motion to amend the amendment as long
as it is in the same vein.
RECESS: At 4:41 p.m. the Chair called for a short recess.
RECONVENE: At 4:50 p.m. the meeting was reconvened.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Oda, would you give us an
opinion on that?
MR. ODA: Mr. Chairman , I can only refer to
certain portions of Robert ' s Rules with regard to amendments.
I would specifically refer to Rule #56 in regard to motions
to modify or amend and the rules do not seem to--at least, I
haven 't found any specific rule or section applicable to the
question presented. However, there is a--during the recess--
there is a provision that I came across which depending on
whether Mr. Trulson ' s motion is an attempted amendment of an
amendment--under the rule #56. . "an amendment of an amendment
cannot be made. " Now, if Mr. Omoraka' s motion was an amendment
-9-
of the previous decision of this commission which was having
three separate options in addition to the status quo, then an
amendment of an amendment under this rule cannot be made
since there already is an amendment. Assuming Mr. Omonaka' s
motion is an amendment.
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Omonaka has stated that his
was not an amendment.
MR. OMONAKA: Let's get a ruling.
MR. ODA: I think Mr. Omonaka's motion was an
amendment of the previous adoption of the three options by
deleting the two other options.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Then Mr. Trulson 's. . .
MR. ODA: Is a motion to amend an amendment,
so, it looks like it is out of order.
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman, I would like to
make a motion to amend the Rules of Procedure to reconsider,
add to, or amend, those sections of the Charter that have
already been moved on previously.
MR. ODA: _ What was that? A motion to reconsider?
MR. TRULSON: I would like to make a motion
to amend the Rules of Procedure in order to reconsider, add
to, or amend, those sections of the Charter that may have been
moved on previously.
MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. To clarify a little
confusion here. Mr. Oda, what was your ruling on Mr. Trulson 's
motion?
MR. ODA: It ' s out of order.
MR. CADINHA: It is out of order?
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Trulson 's motion was to
amend the Rules of Procedure to reconsider all the others?
MR. TRULSON: Basically, to get back to the
same subject, yes.
MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. Mr. Oda, is that
in line?
MR. ODA: I would think not, Mr. Schutte.
Basically, I think that motion is a motion to reconsider and
based on the broad scope of that motion, I do believe it ' s
not timely at this time because it is to reconsider all. . .
MR. TRULSON: It' s to reconsider 3-2.
MR. ODA: Reconsider 3-2? Then it would be
timely.
-10-
MR. SCHUTTE: And as a result, another motion
could follow this? Another proposal?
MR. ODA: Not to amend.
MR. SCHUTTE: No. What could the motion be
then?
MR. ODA: As previously stated, Mr. Schutte,
the motion to reconsider has to take place during the same
session or the next session, at the latest, otherwise it ' s
not timely. I assume that Mr. Trulson 's motion is, in effect,
to suspend the rules to reconsider.
MR. TRULSON: That 's not my intent.
MR. ODA: I don 't know.
MR. TRULSON: I cannot move to reconsider.
MR. SCHUTTE: Well, to find out what Mr. Trulson
has in mind, I ' ll second his motion.
MR. OMONAKA: Bud, your motion; if I understand
it, is to suspend the Rules of Procedure with regard to the
draft of the amendments?
MR. TRULSON: With regards to Section 3-2 only.
MR. OMONAKA: Only 3-2?
MR. TRULSON: Yes.
MR. OMONAKA: Point of order.
MR. TRULSON: He already ruled on that.
MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. I think the whole
intent of Mr. Trulson ' s motion, at this time, is to get the
proposal of a 5-2-2 on the floor. If the proponents of the
5-2 are so inclined to allow it to come to the floor we could
finish this once and for all.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: If this motion is proper and
it is in order, we will have to bring it up. It's in order,
right?
MR. ODA: The motion to suspend the rules?
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Of procedure and to reconsider
just Section 3-2, Mr. Trulson?
MR. TRULSON: Yes.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Just Section 3-2? It ' s in
order?
-11-
MR. ODA: I think it is.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: So it has been moved and
seconded right now. Okay. Any other discussion on this?
Are you ready for the question?
Ayes - Iwamoto, Noes - Yagong,
Ishida, Omonaka,
Schutte, Sensano,
Trulson, Kobayashi
Cadinha Yanaga,
5 Sakata
- 6
Not carried.
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. Evidently, now the
issue has been settled. I would just like to say one thing and
that is I 'm just sorry to see we have not been able to get all
proposals voted on because of parliamentary procedure. To me,
it seems . a shame. That' s my personal feeling.
MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. I move to adjourn.
MR. OMONAKA: Second.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Did you move for adjournment,
Mr. Cadinha?
MR. CADINHA: Yes.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Do we have a second on that?
Mr. Omonaka?
MRS. KOBAYASHI : Mr. Chairman. May I bring up
something before we adjourn? We do have before us the
introduction that was passed out. The introduction is supposed
to be the introduction to the newspaper tabloid that is coming
out September 16. I have a page, too, that goes with this
introduction. It,,;would be nice if the commissioners would--
could look this over since this is the copy that is going to be
under the commission ' s name, but if this body wants to adjourn,
then. . .
I would like to have an approval on this because
it is wording that introduces the charter to the people. And,
also, along this line, we did want to schedule, possibly, for
next week a meeting to go over the newspaper tabloid because
once it comes out the people might be asking us questions as to
what is in it. I think, as commissioners, we have a duty to
answer any questions that will come up after the newspaper
tabloid is out. If we don 't know what ' s in it--we can ' t say
we don ' t know what' s in it because really, we worked on the
charter. It was suggested that there be a briefing meeting
next week sometime to go over whatever will be in the newspaper
tabloid.
-12-
MR. TRULSON: Mrs. Kobayashi, the briefing
session would be with the whole commission?
MRS. KOBAYASHI : Mr. Kikuchi would conduct it.
I would like the whole commission to be here because we are
all involved. We are going to have our pictures on the front
page of that. thing and if we don't know what's in it, it ' s
not too good.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Before we adjourn this
meeting then, would you like to schedule next *eek 's meeting?
MRS. KOBAYASHI : Yes, I would like to schedule
a meeting.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Oda, would you be free
on Tuesday?
MR. ODA: I 'm not sure.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Will next week Tuesday, on
the 28th be appropriate for all of you? For a meeting with
Mr. Kikuchi?
MR. OMONAKA: I cannot be here.
MR. CADINHA: I can 't either, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: What about Wednesday, then?
MR. CADINHA: I 'm busy the whole week.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Wednesday cannot? Monday
again?
MRS. KOBAYASHI : We just want a session to go
over the tabloid before it comes out so that we know what
it is going to be like.
MR. SCHUTTE : Make it Tuesday.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Tuesday? Harlan cannot be
here on Tuesday.
MRS. KOBAYASHI : He cannot be here the whole
week.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Wednesday? Mrs. Iwamoto?
Wednesday? 4 o'clock?
MRS. IWAMOTO: 4 o'clock, yes.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Mr. Kikuchi , I don 't think
it would take two hours, would it?
-13-
MR. KIKUCHI : About an hour and a half.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: An hour and a half. Okay,
shall we meet at 4 o'clock next Wednesday, then?
MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. Is that going to
give Mr. Kikuchi time? Mr. Kikuchi, would that be timewise
okay to defer it until next week?
MR. KIKUCHI: Yes.
CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and
seconded that we adjourn the meeting. A11 those in favor?
Carried. Meeting is adjourned.
ADJOURNMENT: At 5 :06 p.m. the meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting date - Wednesday, August 29, 1979,:
4:00 p.m. , Hawaii County Councilroom, Hilo,
Hawaii.
