CR-COW 2015-09: on Bill No. 2590 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND
CHAPTER 22, KAUAI COUNTY CODE
1987, AS AMENDED, BY REPEALING
ARTICLE 25, RELATING TO BARKING
DOGS (Approved as Amended to
Bill No. 2590, Draft 1.)
The Committee proceeded on its agenda item, as follows:
COW 2015-03 Communication (07/09/2015) from Council Chair Rapozo,
requesting the presence of the Managing Director and the
Office of the County Auditor, to discuss the Audit of Fuel
Costs, Consumption, and Management (Report No. 12-01)
prepared by the Office of the County Auditor in
April 2012, and to respond to the various findings and
recommendations cited in the aforementioned audit.
(This item was Deferred.)
Council Chair Rapozo: For the members of the public, we are going
to go back to the agri-tourism legislation item right now. For the Fuel Audit, I am
going to entertain a motion to defer for the next Committee Meeting in two (2)
weeks. Some of the Administrators were available today, but from the Mayor's
Office, they were not available today. I was hoping to get it in, but with the way it
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE 2 JULY 22, 2015
is going today, we will just have the item back in two (2) weeks. I will take public
testimony if you want to do it today or you can wait until the next Committee
Meeting. By a show of hands, does anyone want to testify today on that or would
you like to wait two (2) weeks? Sorry, the next Committee Meeting will be in
three (3) weeks, not two (2) weeks. Is it okay if we just go ahead and defer? Okay,
then I will entertain a motion to defer.
Councilmember Chock moved to defer COW 2015-03, seconded by
Councilmember Kuali`i, and unanimously carried.
Council Chair Rapozo: Motion carried. That will conclude the
business for the Committee of the Whole. Committee Chair Chock will reconvene
his Planning Committee for the next item.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:24 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
