assOel Pa, ae, 14 h� h. County of Maui - Treasurer King said Maui was providing a lot of COVID-19 response program- ming for business and residents.

She noted a climate change drawdown effort to plant 10,000 trees next fiscal year. Council Member Paltin discussed ongoing efforts to close/address loopholes in Maui's STVR or- dinances. She said Maui has the most legal STVRs of all counties and was working to prevent stacked zoning as well as create more long-term residential housing. She said work was under- way to increase tracing and testing on Maui, and that council members have given input, which the Mayor takes under advisement. She said it was difficult to keep track of who is doing what. President Manahan noted that all counties and residents are still struggling.
