Public W Ken Taylor, a member of the public, stated that he supports the
Testimony Commissions intentions to seek outside counsel to render an opinion as to
who may discipline the Chief of Police. lie stated that the Police
Com Ir'i ssion has the ethical and moral duty to inform the public on what
the Chief of Police is being charged with. Mr. Taylor voiced his concern
that the Commissiou should refrain from making any decisions until the
issue regarding the Chief of Police is resolved, lie does not agree with the
Mayor's decision to have the Chief of Police placed on Administrative
leave and supports the Commission in returning him back to work.
Mr. Okanii asked whether he believed that the County Attorney has the
knowledge and the understanding to answer questions regarding the
Charter and whether it would be a waste of taxpayer's money to bring in
Counsel to re-anale what already
has been determined by the
Police Commission
Special Open Session

-DISCUSSION ACTION
County Attorney, . -------------
Mr. Taylor first stated that he has no doubt that the County Attorney's
Office can answer the questions but does not believe that the County
Attorney's Office should deal with two masters, He questioned how the
County Attorney can direct the Mayor and the Police Commission at the
same time. That in itself is a direct conflict and supports the idea of
obtaining outside counsel.
Mr,,'—Thomas Ml. lannucci, a member of the public, read his testimony,
which is attached hereto. Fle suggested that agenda items KPC 2012-05 and
KPC 2012-06 be dismissed pursuant to Rule 5-8 of the KauWi Police
Commission Rules on Administrative Practice and Procedure, which states
that the Police Commission shall receive, consider and investigate charges
brought by the public against the conduct of an officer or employee of the
Police Department. l4e further explained that the Police Commission has
no jurisdictiot,over complaints brought by employees or officers of the
Police Department against another. These complaints should be directed to
the appropriate authorities and the Chief should be questioned as to what
had transpired or what actions were or were not taken.
Additionally, Mr. lannucci stated that if any one ofthe items listed on the
agenda pertained to the Chief being asked to step down came from an
Outside source, as the appointing authority for the Chief, an immediate
executive session should have been field.
Mr. Iona asked for some background information on how the County
Council came to a decision to grant the previous Police Commission
funding for special counsel regarding the case involving a former Police
Chief. Mr. lannucci suggested that the Commission review the previous
records that pertained to that issue. Ile added that there was contention

y on the right interpretation. At the end, the
County Council granted the Police Commission's request to hire outside
counsel to obtain an unbiased opinion relating to the powers and duties of
the Police Commission.
Mr. «kami stated that in regard to the leadership that is currently in place,
he mentioned that acting Chief Contrades did send an email to the Mayor
placing all parties in their current positions.
Chair Kanekoa questioned whether during Mr. lannucCi'S tenure as a
Police Coniixiissioner and when Mayor Baptiste was in office, did the
Mayor appear before the Police Commission to voice his concerns against
f'oriner Chief of Police K.C. Linn.
Mr. lannucci stated that it was a long time ago but he re
Baptiste coming before the Police Commission as an l -officio v share
his concerns in regard to the situation at band. Again, he suggested that the
Commission review the previous records.
Mr. Francisco felt that Mr. lannucci's testimony was helpful and thanked
Mr. lannucci for providing the background. Ile acknowledged his
suggestion that the Commission review the previous Police Commission
records.
Darryl Perry, Chief of Police of the County of Kauai ^
, stated that he has _... .__..,. _ ..
retained an attorney in which the Commission had previously been notified
and that through the advice of his attorney, he was asked to refrain from
making statements that might impact the current proceedings. fie thanked

issue regarding the lines of ruthorrty between the Mayor's Office and the
Police Commission would be resolved as stated in the County Charter.
Mr. Okarni expressed his appreciation for the Chief and offered his prayers
during this time of adversity. Ile assured Chief Perry that the Commission
would be looking very closely at this issue.
Mr. long expressed his heartfelt feelings that as a former Police Officer he
also found himself under scrutiny and although the issue was later resolved
and he was cleared, it left a great impact on his family. He humbly asked
(.',hict'Perry to hang in there and assured him that the Commission would
be diligent ill resolving this issue. Ile thanked Chief Perry for the integrity
brotl&to the common. and to the Police Department
Mr. Glenn Mickens, rnember of the public, thanked the members of the
Police Commission for their dedication and hard work. He stated that he
hopes this issue gets resolved sooner rather than later and that it is his
Opinion under the Charter that the Police Commission has the sole power
to hire and fire the Chief of Police. Although the Mayor is an Ex-officio
member N,,,Iio call sit with the Commission and express his own opinion, he
has no voting power. Fle believed that the County Charter was crafted in
such a manner to serve as a firewall between the political entity and the
duties and responsibilities of the Police Commission,
