“Well, that's the question in H4. That was my response. If you can't find these other two people, you go back to five and you move it along. I can live with that.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 3:42:13
“If you can't find them, you move on. OK? Any problem with that?”

“H4 is done. I won. What communication restrictions should apply to members of the city commission? I don't even know why this is in here. We already have an ordinance that talks about this.”

“No, because I believe the cone of silence is the cone of ignorance. And I want to hear from everybody.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 3:42:55
“No, I'm not calling you ignorant. I'm saying that a cone of silence is a cone of ignorance. I want the public to be able to talk to us. We don't make this decision, but we may have to review an appeal. That's fine. And in that case, I want to be informed.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026

- Play at 3:43:29
“Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't agree with you. It's not necessary. I don't even think that it's ethical. We don't make this decision. Well, let's ask the city attorney.”

“It's a question. Why don't we just delegate the whole thing to staff? Why do we need to do this?”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“I'll be honest with you, Commissioner. This item is moot because it's already been decided in our purchasing ordinance. It's already been decided. The Kona silence issue was debated here, and it was decided. So the fact that it's even here, I don't even understand it.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 3:44:28
“That's why it's here. I'm not going to change the procurement. You don't have to support my position. I'm not going to change the procurement officer's ordinance just for this one solicitation. We have a procurement ordinance that already deals with this issue. So I think it's moot.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 3:44:51
“Yes. I think there's consensus to move on. OK. I, too. Same item. If the city commission voluntarily joins, that's done. All right. So we done? You've got all your guidance? We are finally finished with the buildings department RF. When can we expect it to go out? Yes. We're going to have a five minute recess.”

“We don't have to vote on anything. They're going to come back to us with an RFP. They've now been told.”

“City Attorney? I'm sorry, Mayor. Do you have a report?”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“Well, I want to thank you for bringing the item forward. This is one of those things that I've rarely seen in my time as an elected official or in my time in government where I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart that everyone is right and everyone is wrong. And I want to explain to you where we're at in my view.
