APRIL 12, 2011
The Special Council Meeting of the Council of the County of Kauai was called
to order by Council Chair Jay Furfaro at the Council Chambers, 3371 -A Wilcox

Honorable Mel Rapozo
Honorable JoAnn A. Yukimura
Honorable Jay Furfaro, Council Chair
APPROVAL OF AGENDA.
Mr. Chang moved for approval of the agenda as circulated, seconded by Mr. Rapozo,
and unanimously carried.
Chair Furfaro: The purpose of the first agenda item here is
a report of the Credentials Committee. The Credentials Committee is made up by
Councilmember Bynum, Councilmember Rapozo and myself as Chair. I would like
to affirm that there is a circulated memorandum of qualifications from the County
Clerk for KipuKai L. P. Kuali`i and I would also like to notify that the Credentials
Committee is now on a separate document signed by all three (3) of the members
verifying that all the credentials are all in order for Mr. Kuali`i. On that note, I
believe...
REPORT OF THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.
Mr. Nakamura: Council. Chair now that the report of the
Credentials Committee has been circulated to the members, what we're looking for
is a motion to receive the report of the Credentials Committee so we can proceed
with the Councilmember designate KuahTs move.
Mr. Rapozo moved to receive the credentials report as submitted by the Credentials
Committee for the record, seconded by Mr. Bynum, and unanimously.
Chair Furfaro: On that note we're going to take a recess for
the swearing in of our newest Councilmember.
There being no objections, the Council recessed at 4:38 p.m.
The Council reconvened at 5:04 p.m., and proceeded as follows:
Chair Furfaro: We are back from our recess and may I
welcome to the table our newest Councilmember Mr. Kipukai Kuah'i. I want you to
know that the orange lei was selected by all the members here in keeping with your
very bright sunshiny signs... now we're going to get down to some business before
the Council as we go to reorganize ourselves and could I have the wording of that
notice read by the Clerk please?
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 2 APRIL 12, 2011
Mr. Nakamura: Council Chair, we're on Resolution
No. 2011 -49.
RESOLUTION:
Resolution No. 2011 -49, RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION
NO. 2011 -03, DRAFT 1, RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE APPOINTMENT OF
THE CHAIRPERSONS, VICE- CHAIRPERSONS, AND MEMBERS OF
THE SEVERAL STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE COUNCIL OF
THE COUNTY OF KAUAI
Mr. Rapozo moved to approve Resolution No. 2011 -49, seconded by Mr. Chang.
Chair Furfaro: • Any further discussion about our taking
discussion about Resolution for reorganization before we begin dialog? If not, I do
want to say a few words myself... you know this is the part of our body that is very
important that we clarify and revisit some of the past practices that we have for the
purpose also of establishing some ground rules. It has always been our hope
whereever possible to have some balance to allow each member to at minimum
Chair a Committee and be a Vice -Chair of at least one (1) Committee. It has also
been you know an excellent way for us to build good relationships with one another,
sharing responsibilities, and influences. We have those as what we consider our
objective standards in selecting Committees. We also have situations where some
members may not be on all Committees and to realign a few comments here Mr.
Kawakami served as a member on the Planning Committee so we have one (1)
vacancy there. Mr. Kawakami was also an Ex- Officio of Housing, Mr. Kawakami
was a member of Economic Development, Mr. Kawakami was a member -of Public
Safety & Environmental Services, Mr. Kawakami was Chairman of the
Intergovernmental Relations Committee, he was a member of the Finance/Parks &
Recreation/Public Works, and he was the Vice -Chair of the Committee of the Whole.
I was Chair of the Committee of the Whole and I am not a member of any of the
other Committees by design and that was my own design quite frankly. On that
note I would like to express some time for KipuKai to actually express some of his
areas of interest and then I will summarize some areas of interest that have been
expressed to me by other members. I am recognizing you on the floor and the
microphone is yours, seeing these Committees take your time and please express to
us what you feel you have interest in. .
Mr. Kuali`i: Thank you Mr. Chair. I've looked at the
Committees and I would be happy to serve on all of the Committees. If you needed
me to fill in where Council... former Councilmember Kawakami was already in
service, I'd be happy to do that. I understand there may be some of those vacancies
that all of my senior members may be interested in and I would you know be happy
to support them in that as well. I think as far as my background and experience I
have a wide range and I would feel comfortable and confident serving in any of the
Committees. As particular interest maybe if each Councilmember has one (1) Chair
and one (1) Vice - Chair, I would be interested in the Chair of Intergovernmental
Relations, perhaps also Finance/Parks & Rec... I'm pretty much wide open and I
would just be happy to serve. The one (1) thing I would mention though is I noticed
that Councilmember Kawakami was Ex- Officio on the Housing
/Transportation/Energy and Conservation & Efficiency Committee and I would
especially have an interest in possibly serving in that Committee, in any capacity
but Vice- Chair... would be good too.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 3 APRIL 12, 2011
Chair Furfaro: Okay. Because Mr. Kawakami was not on
that Committee, it will take some negotiating with other senior members but let me
take care of the first particular interest you expressed because Intergovernmental
Relations Committee Chairmanship is in fact vacant, there may be some
requirement to travel in that Committee based on the expectations of your
colleagues here at the table and since you have first expressed that, let me see if
there's anyone here that is interested in that Chairmanship. Well it looks like in
the first order of business you may be the leading candidate. Mr. Bynum.
Mr. Bynum: I'm not interested in being Chair of that
Committee necessarily but I saw this as an opportunity to make some changes that
I think might benefit the Council and some of the individual members... in some
individual members desires as I understand and I might be wrong but I know
Councilmember Rapozo has a long history of IGR and so when I looked at this I
thought it would be a potential to possibly restructure. I have some ideas that I
could share them all now?
Chair Furfaro: You can share your ideas now I just want to
point out...
Mr. Bynum: Well first of all...
Chair Furfaro: No one raised their hand on that...
Mr. Bynum: Councilmember Kuali`i...
Chair Furfaro: Go right ahead.
Mr. Bynum: Has expressed an interest in Housing and
I'm currently the Vice -Chair in Housing and Derek was an Ex- Officio member on
Planning and I am very interested in being a...
Ms. Yukimura: No. He was a member of Planning.
Mr. Bynum: I'm sorry... he was a member, that's right.
So I'm willing to have Mr. Kuali`i act as Vice -Chair of Housing in order... because
I'm interested in being a member of Planning. So rather than taking that Derek's
membership in Planning, I thought... I'm interested in that and he could be the
Vice -Chair of Housing. In regards of IGR, I assume Councilmember Rapozo would
have some interest in Chairing that Committee although he's got a pretty full plate
as do I on our Committees now, so my other thought was that we might have a
Public Safety/IGR Committee, put Public Safety back together and under Finance
and Public Safety and have a Parks Committee establish that and Mr. Kuali`i could
Chair. That's just some of my thoughts.
Chair Furfaro: Okay.
Mr. Bynum: Starting with I'm willing to be an Ex- Officio
on Housing as opposed to being an Ex- Officio on Planning and I will own it... I want
to be on Planning so it's not purely unselfish but I think it meets that first move
and will meet both of our needs.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 4
APRIL 12, 2011
Chair Furfaro: Okay so there seems to be some agreement
with the two (2) individuals involved that Councilmember Kuali`i would in fact
move as the Vice -Chair of Housing/Transportation if he's willing to give
consideration for you to go to Planning.
Mr. Bynum: And then I would be Ex- Officio...
Chair Furfaro: I don't want to go any further than that right
now. I want to make sure that we understand that trade. So other members, there
is my suggestion that Kuali`i become the Chair of Intergovernmental Relations and
Mr. Bynum's trade for Planning with Housing making Kuali`i the Vice -Chair of
Housing and Transportation. Those are the discussion items right now. We'll start
with you Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang: Thank you Chair. I just wanted to clarify or
find out how you want to go through the process, I didn't know if somebody else had
any interest in moving here or there so I don't know if you wanted to listen to where
everybody's at because it might not give negotiating room for somebody that might
direly... for myself, I'm pretty happy but if we're going to do this at this time we
may as well get a good median that everybody can be happy and maybe who
knows... maybe I might be happier.
Chair Furfaro: You're always happy. Okay I want to make
sure I repeat again I want to have some objective standards here. On the first
particular piece Councilmember Kuali`i it sounds like you could be interested in
Intergovernmental Relations as Chair and it also sounds like you have a passion for
Housing and Transportation.
Mr. Kuali`i: That's correct.
Chair Furfaro: I did not see anyone else raise interest in
IGR so I'm assuming as the Chair...
Mr. Kua&i: Council Chair if I could? I could also see
Councilmember Rapozo moving up from the Vice -Chair to Chair if that's what he
was interested in and my only... I know that Councilmember Rapozo and
Councilwoman Nakamura are serving in HSAC and NACo and when you talk about
traveling and maybe representing the Council as such a fresh person... maybe... I
mean I'm interested in that area, I believe I can serve. Because Councilmember
Kawakami did it if nobody else... I'd be happy to do that Chairmanship. If there
was any kind of restructuring, I would also be happy to do the Parks.
Chair Furfaro: I want to point out what our past practices
has been in some of the unofficial rules, we've tried to have all Councilmembers at
least Chair one (1) Committee.
Mr. KuaWi: Right.
Chair Furfaro: Having you be the Vice -Chair of two (2)
Committees kind of breaks that consistency and so I want to say I appreciate your
aloha and obviously allowing Mr. Rapozo to move up but you need a Chairmanship.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 5
APRIL 12, 2011
Mr. KuaYi: I thought that Councilmember Bynum was
talking about perhaps Public Safety and IGR combining and then Parks & Rec
where I would be the Chair of that...
Chair Furfaro:
Okay.
Mr. Kuah'i: And I'm happy to also take two (2) Vice -
Chairs and a Chair if that's necessary... I know Councilmember Rapozo currently
has two (2) Vice - Chairs and that's because I'm still interested in IGR.
Chair Furfaro: Okay and let me say where I'm not
interested in... as Chairman, I'm not on... I'm not the Chair of any other
Committees but I would like to say that I'm not willing to restructure the
Committees. The fact of the matter is we went through a whole process in
organization where people justified why we split these Committees and on that note
I will recognize Councilwoman Yukimura and then Councilmember Rapozo.
Ms. Yukimura: Thank you Mr. Chair. I just want to ask if
you might want to reconsider your position against any restructuring because I
think we all thought IGR was a little on the light side and the idea that maybe
Public Safety and IGR might go together opens up the possibility that I guess and I
wanted to complete that picture that Councilmember Bynum suggested which was
Parks and Recreation and is it Environmental Services together?
Mr. Bynum: Parks & Recreation stand alone.
Ms. Yukimura: Stand alone and so that it would be Finance
and Environmental Services go together?
Mr. Bynum: No. Finance and Public Works.
Ms. Yukimura: Oh okay.
Mr. Bynum: So Environmental Services would move... so
Public Works is together as one (1) and part of my rationale is that I came upon to
the Council as Parks Chair, it was a great way to get oriented to the Council.
Councilmember Kawahara has spent her first term as Parks Chair and my
Committee right now is pretty big...
Ms. Yukimura:
Mr. Bynum:
Ms. Yukimura:
Chair Furfaro:
Ms. Yukimura:
Mr. Bynum:
Okay so...
To have Finance /Public Works and Parks.
Okay...
And maybe Audit.
I'm trying to just...
I intended to.
Ms. Yukimura: I'm trying to just finish your picture so that
we all know what you're suggesting and so if I might just ask you Public
Safety/Intergovernmental would go together?
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 6 APRIL 12, 2011
Mr. Bynum: Right.
Ms. Yukimura: And then Parks would be one (1) Committee?
Mr. Bynum: Right.
Ms. Yukimura: And then Finance/Public Works and
Environmental Services that would be all Public Works, so that would be like
Finance... or are you moving Environmental Services with Public Safety?
Mr. Bynum: We would just call it Public Works because
we created this term Environmental Services to designate a part of the Public
Works. In the past Public Works has always been...
Ms. Yukimura: Is it your intention to move Environmental
Services...
Mr. Bynum: To Public Works.
Ms. Yukimura: Yes. Okay... so that we all get clear on your
proposal.
Mr. Bynum: It's just an idea.
Ms. Yukimura: And it's just an idea subject to a lot of other
discussions and suggestions. So your thought is Public Safety /IGR and then Parks
as a separate Committee and then Finance and Public Works as &--- °separate
Committee?
Mr. Bynum: Correct.
Ms. Yukimura: Thank you for the clarification.
Chair Furfaro: Mr. Rapozo may I ask to have the floor
before I give it to you?
Mr. Rapozo: Sure, why not Mr. Chair. My name has been
used in vain several times I just would like to comment.
Chair Furfaro: Well I'm be calm here... you know eighteen
(18) weeks ago when I took over the organization, based on all of your supporting
need unanimously, I thought the issue in the Environmental Services and the
Public Works dealt with the big issues that we're having right now with Solid
Waste, the Landfill issue, Sewer and also a sensitivity of really wanting to have
action taken on sustainability. Now if that's changed, I understand that and I think
I just wanted to visit that so I can justify my comment on that's still our focus and
those. are big areas and I'm not - necessarily supporting the restructuring. Thank
you for yielding that to me Mr. Rapozo, you have the floor.
Mr. Rapozo: Alright, thank you. Eighteen (18) weeks ago
I also felt... I didn't believe that Public Works should have been split up, I was
opposed to it but you know I ended up with the Landfill and the Wastewater which
I don't mind because those are pretty fun and exciting areas... before I start I just
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 7 APRIL 12, 2011
want to express to my colleagues here and let me real quick just let the public know,
typically we have time and OIP in a normal session when we have a normal session
when we have a brand new Council, they'll allow us to meet to organize. We didn't
have that opportunity, so what you're seeing today is straight from the heart, this is
stuff that hasn't been rehearsed and let me just start off by saying for my colleagues
I'm interested in the Vice -Chair of the Committee of the Whole which is vacant now
because Derek has left so I would ask for your consideration with that. As far as
the restructuring, it's really up to the Committee members here or the Council
members here because I'm the HSAC rep and the State Association President,
thanks to Derek... and you know we got to really thank Derek for all he's done for
us as far as locally as well as in the State that I don't have a problem with IGR.
IGR is relatively light, it's tied into what the HSAC representative or NACo
representative does so I really don't have a problem with that. I do agree that
Public Works should be together, I just didn't want to see a lot of mixing this up as
well... Mr. Chair, I do agree with you but after hearing from some of the members
it's obvious that there is a desire to possibly restructure which I would not oppose.
As far as what I would like I mean I would like Public Safety, IGR you know that
goes without saying whether I'm the Chair of IGR or not... my work won't change
with the Intergovernmental work, it comes with the territory of being the HSAC
representative. I'm leaving it up to you folks if there can be agreement between
members that's fine with me... Parks and Rec, I'm not... I understand you said you
was interested Mr. Kuah'i with Parks and Rec as far as Chairing that. That's a big
task, I mean it is and Public Works is even bigger I mean that's a huge task, it's a
hard working Committee. However you want to do this Mr. Chair, I'll support the
wishes of the Council but I think primarily I want to definitely keep Public Safety
and as well as at least try for the position of Vice -Chair of the Committee of the
Whole.
Chair Furfaro: Before we go any further I ±want to share
with you folks that the... you know my concern and I voiced it about reorganizing
the Committees because that is... the Committees that we set up eighteen (18)
weeks ago, we passed a Resolution that created those and I'm not of the mind to go
back and restructure after the dialog we got. The other particular piece and I'm
going to ask the County Clerk to come up is I'm not sure we can act on that business
today because the restructuring of the Committees was not on the agenda. What's
on the agenda is reassigning the existing Committees and so let me and I'm not
trying to promote my vision here of not reorganizing the Committees, I just to make
sure we understand my preference is not to do that and did I make a fair
interpretation Mr. Clerk and if you could introduce yourself.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Nakamura: Council Chair, Peter Nakamura County
Clerk for the record. Yes the posting of the agenda for today was a Resolution to
amend the current Resolution that sets up the Chairs, Vice- Chairs and the
members of the standing Committees of the Council. If the Council desires to
actually change the makeup of the Committees and change what the Committees
are responsible for, that would require us to look at the Council rules and amend
the Resolution that adopted the Council Rules because the description of the
Committee's responsibilities are in the Council's Rules. Anything further than in
essence filling slots on the current lineup of standing Committees would... including
redescription of the Committees would require us to go back into the rules which
aren't on the agenda today.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Chair Furfaro:
Mr. Bynum:
Chair Furfaro:
Mr. Bynum:
8 APRIL 12, 2011
Right, okay.
Can I see the wording of the posting?
Let me recognize you first Mr. Bynum.
I'm sorry.
Chair Furfaro: Could you stay there a moment in case we
have members that have questions and I'll go to you Mr. Bynum first.
Mr. Bynum: Could you read the language of the posting
please?
Mr. Nakamura: The
posting on today's agenda was Resolution No. 2011 -49, RESOLUTION AMENDING
RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -03, DRAFT 1, RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE
APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIRPERSONS, VICE - CHAIRPERSONS, AND
MEMBERS OF THE SEVERAL STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE COUNCIL
OF THE COUNTY OF KAUAI.
Mr. Bynum: My interpretation to that was this
Resolution established the Committees and membership so if we're amending this
Resolution, we can change the Committee's structure. If that best meets the needs
of the community and the Council, I don't know why we would be restricted to
amending only part of it.
Mr. Nakamura: Actually the Resolution that's up to you is
related to the appointment of Chairpersons, Vice - Chairpersons, and members of the
several standing Committees... if you look at and if I could ask staff to get a copy of
the Council's rules that reflect the description of the standing Committees and what
they're responsible for I think it may be a little clearer because...
Chair Furfaro: Okay let me pose that question...
AL CASTILLO, COUNTY ATTORNEY: Council Chair?
Chair Furfaro: Excuse me one (1) moment... Mr. Watanabe
could you make sure that we have the appropriate wording available to members if
it isn't already. County Attorney go right ahead.
Mr. Castillo: Yes. I've already vetted this with the County
Clerk and he is correct. This would be outside of the agenda item.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you. Councilwoman Yukimura.
Ms. Yukimura: I believe that's probably right because the
title of- -the Resolution does restrict but I would like to urge that if we can find
something that satisfies everyone by changing the Committees around, then let's
repost and just do that. Because I think mainly we want, if the end in mind is
something where it works for everybody and it helps to shift the Committee
structure around then let's do what's necessary to do it. It may be awkward for
example it sounds like on the first page we have some clear agreements in terms of
Councilmember Bynum being on the Planning Committee and Councilmember
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 9 APRIL 12, 2011
Kuah'i being the Vice -Chair of the Housing Committee and we leave... we can talk
about it the problems of doing it within the Committee structure and post it to
change the Committee structure at another meeting.
Chair Furfaro: Mr. Rapozo.
Mr. Rapozo: Thank you Mr. Chair and I will definitely
agree with the Chair, I completely forgot about the Rules Resolution which is 2011-
02, draft 1 which specifies the Committees so without that being posted and that
being changed obviously we'll be operating with improper rules so having said that
what I would recommend is filling the slots that Mr. Kawakami has left vacant
today and if there is interest in restructuring, and I kind of agree with you Mr.
Chair as far as the restructuring of Committees at this time, we're still pretty new
into the term. If today had been an opportunity, I think it would have been a good
one but it's not and I guess that's something the Council will decide at a later date
but for today I would suggest we fill the slots left by Mr. Kawakami, we could also
make the changes that have been mutually agreed upon by the members that was
earlier discussed between Planning and Housing, and we just move on from there
the next one is Economic Development. Obviously I think that Mr. Kipukai Kua&i
would not have a problem filling Derek's spot, I think you can plug his name in all
of them and we can survive with that at this point and the only vacancy again that
would... we would definitely fill would be the Committee of the Whole and that
would require a consensus from the membership for the Vice -Chair and so I would
suggest that we do that and we can probably get out of here in the next fifteen (15)
minutes.
Chair Furfaro: Mr. Kuah'i don't pay attention to his time
limit, we're going to do this.., Okay? You have the floor.
Mr. Kuah'i: Yes Chair. In regards to some of the
comments I've heard, I would just say that I would be happy to take the
Intergovernmental Relations Chair, that was my initial interest and I just was
stating that I also had interest in these other configurations but in keeping with
just filling the spots that former Councilmember Kawakami has vacated, I would be
happy to be Chair of Intergovernmental Relations and with the other matter we
talked about the Vice -Chair of the Housing/Transportation.
Chair Furfaro: Mr. Bynum.
Mr. Bynum: In my view we should have been able to look
at this whole thing but we got to follow the rules because Intergovernmental
Relations in the long run I think should be Chaired by someone who has experience
and Mel has that experience as does the Council Chair, myself or JoAnn so I would
and I think any Councilmember can put forward a Resolution to change the
structure but what the rules do say is that we can look at the membership so I'd like
to still address the issue of... that we started with, with Planning and making
Councilmember Kuali`i Vice -Chair of Housing and address... or else if we're just
going to leave it all the same; ,we got to leave it all the same but I think we should:m
revisit it because Councilmember Kuali`i is not Derek Kawakami, they have
different experience and different interest and it make sense for us to look at the
whole structure, you know eventually.
Chair Furfaro: Okay well I'm sorry to have pointed out that
this was going beyond my comfort zone by bringing up the Clerk to make sure we
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 10 APRIL 12, 2011
understood what was on the agenda today and Mr. Clerk this is something we could
do later and we could put it in the Committee of the Whole if we wanted to
restructure at a later time?
Mr. Nakamura: Council Chair it would just be a matter of
what Vice -Chair Yukimura was talking about is properly posting it.
Chair Furfaro: Right.
Mr. Nakamura: There's a Council Meeting next week, there's
a...
Chair Furfaro: I want to make myself very clear, through
the 2th of May, we're working on budget.
Mr. Rapozo: Thank you Mr. Chair.
Chair Furfaro: Okay. I don't want to reorganize in the
middle of doing the budgets but it's something that I could post in the future on my
Committee.
Mr. Nakamura: The 27th of April Committee of the Whole is
the date that I think is right in between the decision making and departmental
reviews.
Chair Furfaro: Okay. Maybe we'll shoot for that.
Mr. Chang, you have the floor.
Mr. Chang: Thank you. This question is for
Councilmember Yukimura. I was hoping that I'd hear from you what you were
interested in and after I can hear what you're interested in, I might have a
suggestion.
Ms. Yukimura: Okay... well if I may?
Chair Furfaro: I'll recognize Council Vice - Chair.
Ms. Yukimura: Thank you. I have... I am interested in the
Vice -Chair of the Committee of the Whole, I've actually have been playing that
function in budget hearings and as Vice -Chair of the Council, it's a logical position
that the Chair is the Chair of the Committee of the Whole and I'd like to be
considered in the supporting position.
Chair Furfaro: Okay. Did that answer your question
Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang: Yes. What I would like to say and whatever
we conclude today - is that I would like to agree with the Chair, because prior to
this... we took a long time establishing the Committees so I wouldn't move the
Committees, I would leave the Committees as is. The way I look at it and I'm just
throwing this out in my attempt to be fair, if Councilmember Bynum is going to
come into Planning and Councilmember Kuah'i is going to be the Vice - Chair, even
if...
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 11 APRIL 12, 2011
Ms. Yukimura: Of Housing.
Mr. Chang: Vice - Chair... of not the Council... of
Housing... don't worry JoAnn.
Ms. Yukimura: I'm not worried. He might be a very good
Vice - Chair.
Mr. Chang: Vice -Chair for Housing under yourself as the
Chairperson but Intergovernmental Relations in my opinion if he's the Chair, he's
got a very, very strong Vice -Chair and as you mentioned within this Committee, you
know I've been to enough NACo conferences and WIR conference as a former rep for
WIR, I think we can back you up and there's still opportunity to travel with HSAC
or the County Meetings or what have you but the way I look at this structure
everybody has a Vice -Chair position, the only one that would be out of a Vice -Chair
position would be Councilmember Bynum so to me, for myself I'm happy... I had
asked Councilmember Nakamura if she had any desires and changes and I'll let her
speak for herself but my indication was that she didn't so to me the way this can be
solved like this and no offense to anybody... but if you move Councilmember Bynum
to the Vice -Chair of the Committee of the Whole, everybody gets a Vice -Chair
position, everybody gets a Chairmanship position and if no other... I mean that's
what I would say is logically the easiest way to fit it and I know it might not please
everybody but Councilmember Bynum does not have a Vice -Chair position. If he
had this Vice -Chair as the Whole, it would be end of the day. That's my opinion,
you can look this thing over but that's fair in terms of people landing where they
wanted to land with the exception o£.. I'm of yourself and Councilmember Rapozo
which both wanted to be the Vice -Chair but that will leave Councilmember Bynum
"without a- Vice -Chair slot. So that's between you folks tow figure it outs that's .my two
(2) cents for the day.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you and again I'd just like to point out
as I started in the meeting here is you know... sometimes in politics everything isn't
fair but we want to make it reasonable and in an earlier discussion today I pointed
out that Mr. Bynum might also be in the second Chair of the Audit Committee so he
may not have a Vice -Chair but he could end up with two (2) Chairmanships. You
know that's yet to be seen, so I'm going to make sure I know where we're at and I
want to make certain that if we have any motions that come on the table, we have
to adjourn because our rules require those changes to be in writing before we can
recess and so I'd make a recess. Yes Mr. Rapozo.
Mr. Rapozo: I have asked the staff to prepare an
amendment, a draft amendment...
Chair Furfaro: Oh okay.
Mr. Rapozo: Basically on what we just spoke about the
swapping of Planning and Housing between Mr. KipuKai Kuah'i and Mr. Bynum.
Replacing all,the Kawakamrs vacancies with KipuKai and myself as -the Committee -
Vice -Chair of the Committee of the Whole. I intend to introduce that so we can...
they're preparing that now and I'll introduce it and then take a vote, unless there's
other discussion, I'm not sure.
Chair Furfaro: Okay let me just reconfirm one (1) other
thing here before we go any further, I want to have a affirmative answer from
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 12 APRIL 12, 2011
Councilmember KipuKai and Councilmember Bynum... between the two (2) of you,
you are willing to change Housing and Planning?
Mr. Kuali`i: That's correct.
Chair Furfaro: Okay. On that note, I'm going to call for a
recess until we have an appropriate draft available for us to vote on.
There being no objections, the Council recessed at 5:40 p.m.
The Council reconvened at 6:18 p.m., and proceeded as follows:
Chair Furfaro: We're back in session and when we broke we
had Councilmember Rapozo proposing a change to the Resolution on the current
allocation of positions in a form of a floor amendment and that floor amendment is
being circulated now. I also think from the earlier discussion and before I ask the
County Clerk to come up, I want to let the individual members know that I am open
to suggest on May 4th that if we want to continue to pursue reorganizing our
Committees and being the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, I will be open
to that discussion and agenda item on May 4th but that means all positions and I
guess that meaning including mine as Chairman, I would point that out but that's
for May 4th, that's the same as when we have the budget public hearings but that is
at 5:00 in the evening so we'll have the opportunity to revisit Committees. On that
note Mr. Rapozo, your floor amendment is being circulated and you may introduce.
Mr. Rapozo moved to amend Resolution No. 2011 -49 as circulated. (Attachment 1)
Mr. Rapozo: -- - It covers the amendments or the changes
that I discussed prior to the recess.
Chair Furfaro: Did that include making Mr. Bynum the...
Committee Vice - Chair, I see that's underlined on this Resolution.
Mr. Rapozo: Yeah it basically.
Chair Furfaro: Committee Vice -Chair of Intergovernmental
Relations.
Mr. Rapozo: It adds Mr. Bynum to the Planning
Committee, it adds Mr. Kuali`i as the Vice -Chair of Housing/Transportation/Energy
Conservation & Efficiency Committee, it adds Mr. KipuKai Kuali`i to the Economic
Development/Public Safety Committees, it adds Mr. Kuali`i as a Committee Chair of
IGR, it changes Mr. Bynum to the Vice -Chair of IGR and it adds Mr. Kuali`i to the
Finance/Parks & Recreation/Public Works Programs Committee and it adds
Mr. Kuali`i to the Committee of the Whole and it adds me as the Vice -Chair of the
Committee of the Whole.
Chair Furfaro: Okay. So we have -an. amendment proposed
by Mr. Rapozo as just summarized and I would like to see if I could get a motion
and a seconded.
Mr. Rapozo: I made the motion, we just need a second.
Chair Furfaro: Okay.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 13 APRIL 12, 2011
Mr. Chang: I'll second.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you. We have a second, now we can
start with any discussion. Mr. Bynum first.
Mr. Bynum: I really thought when we came in here today
we could restructure the Committees and I tried to put forward a proposal because I
saw a window for what I thought might by a win - win - win... in terms of serving the
community better. I appreciate the Chair saying that we can revisit the Committee
structure on May 4th because I still believe that's important, I don't want to say the
main reason is that IGR... I don't recall a time that we did a bill in IGR and so it
could put Mr. Kuali`i through a full term where he never managed a bill, never
Chaired a Committee and you know that's experience you want to get in your first
term. I suggested Parks because I know you have bills in Parks coming, we have
one coming that's pending and you know to get the experience of Chairing the
Committee and shepherding legislation is an important part of every
Councilmember and so we're going to revisit that later and if we do this in really
thoughtfully we can have it where everyone Chairs a Committee, everyone is a Ex-
Officio and this amendment from Mr. Rapozo accomplishes a lot of that so whatever
we do today we're going to revisit in May which I think is appropriate. I will wait to
see if there's other comments on this Resolution before I support it or not but the
Vice -Chair of the Council in the past has often been the Chair of the Committee of
the Whole because of just consistencies so I don't know if I can support that section
of this, I want to wait and see what other people think. This is going to be a step
wise process and this is real democracy in action, this is a way it should be in my
opinion. I've been on Councils where we walked in, there was four (4) people to
decide -and I got whatever the -people decided and `this is a much" more fair and
appropriate process and I appreciate that leadership coming from our Chair to see
that, even though it's complicated and we may have to have votes where somebody
wins and somebody loses but hey that's the way it works right? A lot of this I can
support but I don't know about the Committee of the Whole, I want to see what
other people think.
Chair Furfaro: I do want to point out that last term I was
the Vice -Chair of the Council and I was after six (6) years I didn't get my Finance
Committee Chairmanship, I didn't get to be the Vice -Chair of the Committee of the
Whole and so you know the process isn't often fair, I just want to make sure that
we're being reasonable and I committed to May 4th to review the whole thing.
Mr. Bynum: May...
Chair Furfaro: Which also May 4th makes me vulnerable to
be Chairman.
Mr. Bynum: I don't have any... may I respond?
Chair Furfaro: Yeah..
Mr. Bynum: I remember that term and basically the
decision was made before we walked into the room and three (3) of us had no say
and so this is a better process. I have no intention of suggesting any changing in
the Chairmanship.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 14 APRIL 12, 2011
Chair Furfaro:
Yukimura.
Well thank you for that. Councilwoman
Ms. Yukimura: I just want to ask that the Committee of the
Whole be taken as a separate vote, like we do in seriatim sometimes on a bill.
Chair Furfaro: Okay. Any further discussion? Mr. Rapozo.
Mr. Rapozo: I just want to clarify that especially for the
public that the fact that... it hasn't always been the Vice -Chair of the Council is the
Vice -Chair of the Committee of the Whole and I'm clarifying that...
Chair Furfaro: I just pointed that out.
Mr. Rapozo: But I think that was a misstatement
Mr. Bynum and I just wanted to make sure that it's not something special for Mel
Rapozo because we were just serving a term with Mr. Kawakami as the Vice -Chair
of the Committee of the Whole and he's not sitting as the Council Vice - Chair.
Mr. Furfaro stated he had been the Vice -Chair and not the Vice -Chair of the
Committee of the Whole so I just wanted to make that clear that it's not about Vice -
Chair... it's really about somebody number one (1) willing to serve and number two
(2) qualified to serve and that's all I'm offering this Council. Thank you.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you. Would you give me a moment
just wanted to check with something with the County Clerk with procedure...
Mr. Bynum: Can I have the floor just for a second.
Chair Furfaro: I just want to check with the County Clerk
on something and then you can have the floor.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Nakamura:
Clerk for the record.
Council Chair, Peter Nakamura County
Chair Furfaro: Mr. Clerk so you've heard from me and my
commitment to do something on May 4th with structuring or review of all the
Committees and then I would also ask you procedurally if we had one (1) vote on all
of the particular Committees and then a second vote on how we present the
Committee of the Whole, we can make that happen, can we not?
Mr. Nakamura: Yes. I think there are different approaches to
it... and I could be mistaken. One (1) approach is to take a vote on Councilmember
Rapozo's floor amendment as it stands and if that floor amendment passes then
Councilmember may propose another amendment just to that section of the
Committee of the Whole. We could do that, that's one (1) route. The other route
which. is a bit more uncertain of is that the Council... a Councilmember could make
a request to take the floor amendment seriatim which basically means in part.
Although it isn't structured as we normally structured it as a seriatim type of vote I
think that motion could still be made so in essence a Councilmember could make a
request to vote on the floor amendment seriatim, in parts.
Chair Furfaro: In...
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 15 APRIL 12, 2011
Mr. Nakamura:
Chair Furfaro:
Mr. Nakamura:
Committees is my guess.
Chair Furfaro:
it by Committees?
And that would be in two (2) routes.
And would we do all parts?
In this way the parts would be by
Okay. I guess I should have said could we do
Mr. Nakamura: Yes but that would take a motion and the
only motion on the floor now is a motion to... I believe a motion to approve the floor
amendment.
Chair Furfaro: So we would vote on that motion since it's on
the floor right now, there's a motion and a second.
Mr. Nakamura: Yes. There's a motion to amend the
Resolution.
Chair Furfaro: Yes.
Mr. Nakamura: Of Councilmember Rapozo's floor
amendment.
Chair Furfaro: If you could just stay right there let's see if
Councilmember KipuKai has a question for you. The floor is yours, you can direct a
question to the County Clerk if you like.
Clerk. Mr. Kuah'i: I didn't have a question for the County
The meeting was called back to order, and proceeded as follows:
Chair Furfaro:
Oh okay.
Mr. Kuali`i: I just on the original motion I want to say
that I'm happy with all of my assignments and could support that and I'm not clear
that if we're here to do this one (1) job which is to fill in all the pukas left by
Councilmember Kawakami, why one (1) Committee gets pulled out to be voted
separately.
Chair Furfaro: That was only a single Councilmember that
offered that as a possibility but what I was checking with the Clerk on is that we
had a motion and a second so we possibly have to vote on that first and if there is
another option so...
Ms. Yukimura: Mr. Chair.
Chair Furfaro: Yes go ahead.
Ms. Yukimura: It either is an amendment to the
amendment, this is an amendment or in seriatim that would reflect accurately the
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 16 APRIL 12, 2011
votes because if you don't take it separately and a person does not want to vote for
one (1) portion of it, they have to vote against everything to vote against that one (1)
portion and that's why I'm asking to take it in seriatim so that people can vote for
what they want and not vote for what they don't want.
Chair Furfaro: Understood.
Ms. Yukimura: And if that is not going to be allowed then I
would ask to do an amendment to the amendment. I was told by staff that we could
take it in seriatim and if that's not possible, I'd like the time to do an amendment to
an amendment which is the proper way because then the amendment would
propose a change to the portion that's... that is in question, everyone would get to
vote on that whichever amendment wins then you'll vote on it...
Chair Furfaro: I understand what you're saying.
Ms. Yukimura: Right.
Chair Furfaro: Perhaps I didn't use all the right terminology
but that's why I asked the Clerk to come up. Mr. Rapozo.
Mr. Rapozo: You know Mr. Chair... it's obvious that some
people don't want to support the Committee of the Whole amendment so I will
restate my motion... can I restate or can I withdraw?
Ms. Yukimura:
Mr. Rapozo:
Chair Furfaro:
Mr. Rapozo:
Can you withdraw your second?
No just...
Can I restate?
Excuse me... there's a question for the Clerk.
Let me do this... let me withdraw my motion.
Mr. Rapozo withdrew his motion to amend Resolution No. 2011 -49; Mr. Chang
withdrew his seconded.
Mr. Rapozo moved to amend Resolution No. 2011 -49 as shown in the Floor
Amendment attached hereto in seriatim, seconded by Mr. Chang...
Chair Furfaro: So then we're going to take another recess...
Mr. Bynum: No we don't have to.
Chair Furfaro: You know I want to make sure I got it clear
from the Clerk okay?
Mr. Bynum: Okay.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Chair Furfaro: If you want to apply for the Clerk, you can
apply for the Clerk... question to the Clerk, do we have to break and you can tell me
no.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 17 APRIL 12, 2011
Mr. Nakamura: No Mr. Chair. With the motion stated by
Councilmember Rapozo and Councilmember Chang the motion is to take the floor
amendment seriatim in parts.
Chair Furfaro: Okay? So we're good on that. Ms.
Yukimura.
Ms. Yukimura: So then my question is just procedural would
you allow discussion on each item?
Chair Furfaro: Yes I would and you don't have to break to
create an amendment, I'll allow discussion on each one.
The meeting was called back to order, and proceeded as follows:
Ms. Yukimura: Okay, thank you.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you Mr. Clerk. Thank you Mr.
Rapozo. So we'll go through each one.
The motion to amend Resolution No. 2011 -49 in seriatim was then put, and
unanimously carried.
Chair Furfaro: Mr. Clerk...
Ms. Yukimura: Mr. Chair that was on the issue of whether
to go in seriatim, not on the fill motion.
Chair Furfaro: That's correct.
Ms. Yukimura: Okay, thank you.
Chair Furfaro: Okay and now if I can go to the Clerk and
ask him.
Mr. Nakamura: Mr. Chair we're on the first section of the
floor amendment that was voted to be taken in part... the first section would be the
changes proposed in the Planning Committee which is to...
Mr. Bynum: So...
Mr. Nakamura:
just vote on it.
Ms. Yukimura:
Mr. Rapozo:
the initial motion.
Chair Furfaro:
We can either have a short explanation or...
We can just vote on it.
-- I already explained it in the',.. when I made �

Ms. Yukimura: Discussion please?
Chair Furfaro: Discussion is permitted. Go right ahead
Councilwoman.
Ms. Yukimura: Yes. I was going to celebrate the fact that we
were doing the business all on the floor and I... seems that some commitments were
made ahead of time but I did want to say that I am interested in the Committee of
the Whole Vice -Chair position. I've been on the Council for many years and. I'm
familiar with the running of meetings and I feel like I could provide really good
support for the Chair as I have as Vice -Chair of the Council and so I am interested
in this and I had expected that I would be able to put forth my interest and
qualifications at this table at this time. I just wanted to express this interest in this
position.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you. Any further commentary?
Mr. Bynum. _
Mr. Bynum: I had hoped to not have to vote aye or nay on
anything but hey that's... and so I wanted to say that if I previously said that the
Committee of the Whole has always been Chaired by the Vice -Chair of the Council,
I did indeed misspoken but I think what I said was traditionally that's what has
happened and I think that is accurate. I think either Mel or JoAnn are more than
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 20 APRIL 12, 2011
competent to Chair these Committees but based on my sense of tradition I'm not
going to support this particular portion of the amendment.
Chair Furfaro: Any other members wish to speak before I
speak? I do want to let you know that I've committed to the reorganization of the
entire Council on May 4th which also puts my leadership on the table. I wanted to
say that in this particular piece I will be supporting this structure for the
Committee of the Whole. I want to also point out that I have allocated several
duties to other members. We had a Rules Committee that I urged support for
Councilwoman Yukimura, I had a opportunity to create as promised a Human
Resources Committee Meeting which I have supported Mr. Bynum on and I think as
we look at the Committee of the Whole it is appropriate to point out that
Mr. Rapozo has actually served six (6) previous years on the Council. He was at one
(1) time the Vice - Chairman of the Council, so I will be supporting this
reorganization of the Committee of the Hotel... of the Whole... the Hotel... it's
late...
Mr. Bynum:
Is that a new Committee?
Chair Furfaro: You know as a general manager, you fall
back on that sometimes... but also I do pledge to put total reorganization on the
table May 4th. Is there any other discussion? Councilwoman Nakamura.
Ms. Nakamura: Thank you for putting the organization on
the agenda on May 4th. It was not my intent to revisit the entire organization but
the structure of the Committees, so I wanted to let you know that the Chair, the
Vice -Chair positions were not something that I wanted to open up for discussion.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you. Any further discussion before I
call for the vote? If not... oh go right ahead...
Mr. Kuah'i: Chair, I just wanted to say that I appreciated
your thoughts and being that I'm just starting and I have deference to your
positions and I hear that pretty clearly and it's good to know about the Rules
Committee and the Auditor and the responsibilities are being assigned there as
well... like you, I will be supporting this.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you for your commentary. I am going
to go ahead and call for the vote on this...
Ms. Yukimura: Mr. Chair?
Chair Furfaro: Yes. Did you want to be recognized?
Ms. Yukimura: Yes.
Chair Furfaro: Yes go right ahead.
Ms. Yukimura: Given all of the discussion and in the
interest of unity, I will withdraw my interest in the Committee of the Whole at this
time.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING 21 APRIL 12, 2011
Chair Furfaro: Thank you very much and I do really
appreciate your comment about withdrawing the motion as we build relationships
here at the table. Thank you very much. On that note, I will call for the vote:
The motion to approve the amendment to the Committee of the Whole was then put,
and carried by the following vote:
FOR APPROVAL: Bynum, Chang, Kuali`i, Nakamura,
Rapozo, Yukimura, Furfaro TOTAL — 7,
AGAINST APPROVAL: None TOTAL — 0,
EXCUSED & NOT VOTING None TOTAL — 0.
Mr. Nakamura: Seven (7) ayes Mr. Chair.
Chair Furfaro: Thank you. And this concludes tonight's
business. Mr. KipuKai Kuali`i is the new member of the Council. He is an
Ex- Officio of the Planning Committee, surrendering that appointment to Mr.
Bynum. He now is the Vice -Chair of Housing /Transportation and Economic
Development, he is a member of Renewable Energy Strategies, he is a member now
of Public Safety, he is also the Chairman of Intergovernmental Relations Committee
and he is also a member of the Finance/Parks & Recreation and a member of the
Committee of the Whole. On that note I will extend to Mr. Bynum, each of us has a
travel budget and Mr. Bynum, I will extend some of the funds from my .account so
that if you choose to accompany Mr. Kuali`i to anything at the State House and so
forth, that he has someone getting him off and running with the networking that's
required there so please note I will make my travel budget available to you. On
that note congratulations sir in joining our group, let's make sure we get a picture of
you up on the wall and'we are adjourned:
ADJOURNMENT.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:43 p.m.
