EA SSOC. h O�COUP%�� Legislative Package would be the next EC meeting (Oct. 26, 2020). G. Grantina Ms. Linae Cruz access as the Master Admin for Quickbooks This matter was deferred to the October 2020 EC meeting. H. Discuss vision and venue of the 2021 HSAC Annual Conference Secretary Kierkiewicz said Hawai'i County is happy to host the next conference since 2020 could not happen due to COVID. She shared an in-person conference is preferred but not at the risk of public health and safety, and that should in-person not be possible - the Hawai'i County would shift to hosting a virtual event. Treasurer King appreciated the time and energy being put into planning the 2021 conference and shared she attended virtual conferences that turned out to be quite good. She noted that her husband was a featured speaker for a biofuels conference and that he needed to send in a pre-recorded presentation, which she thought was a good idea as it prevented people from going over their allotted time. Secretary Kierkiewicz noted the Hawai'i Energy Conference being done virtually and being successful, and appreciated Treasurer King's suggestion as a way to keep the virtual event on track and on time. Secretary Kierkiewicz said the county would work closely with Ms. Cruz to discuss ideas and begin planning efforts. I. Discuss concept of hosting featured speaker at Executive Committee meetings Secretary Kierkiewicz asked if at the beginning of each meeting some time could be dedicat- ed to hosting a speaker in a hot topic area in an effort to foster greater understanding and dialogue around issues impacting the islands. She suggested the counties could take turns securing a speaker. Treasurer King agreed with this concept, and noted that this was something HSAC did in the past and was for reinstating this. Secretary Kierkiewicz said it would be great to work with Ms. Cruz to identify a schedule and work out logistics. J.
