ROH §4-2.3
Who serves on Oahu transportation planning committees
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗This section says the mayor's appointee to the Oahu transportation planning policy committee must represent two city departments. If those departments disagree, the appointee decides what is best for the city. Before voting, the appointee must get advice from the department heads. Each department must have a member on most planning committees.

(a) The mayor’s appointee to the policy committee of the Oahu metropolitan planning organization shall represent the interests of the department of transportation services and department of planning and permitting.

Before taking any official action at a policy committee meeting:
(1) If the mayor’s appointee is the director of transportation services or the director of planning and permitting, the appointee shall solicit the advice and recommendations of the other officer; or
(2) If the mayor’s appointee is not the director of transportation services or the director of planning and permitting, the appointee shall solicit the advice and recommendations of both officers.
(b) The department of transportation services and department of planning and permitting shall each be represented by at least one member on every technical or other committee of the Oahu metropolitan planning organization, except:
(1) The citizens advisory committee; and
(2) Any committee on which city representation is not requested by the policy committee or executive head of the Oahu metropolitan planning organization.
