Communication 931 Page 2 of 3 Following calling of the nominees by Committee Chair Pilago, Fanny Au Hoy and Sally Marone were in attendance at today's meeting and provided committee members with a brief introduction of themselves. Nominees Theresa Andreae, Stephen Herbert, Cynthia Hope and David Ross were not present. Corporation Counsel Lincoln Ashida stated he reviewed the applications of each individual and certified to the Committee that all of the nominees met the requirements of the statutes. Mr. Ashida noted that nominees must satisfy certain criteria to qualify such as, among other things, having design knowledge and knowledge of Kona and be approved by the Council. Council Vice Chair Virginia Isbell noted that since Ms. Au Hoy and Ms. Marone were present for the meeting today, they need not appear for final confirmation at the next council meeting. Corporation Counsel Lincoln Ashida stated he was not sure why the other nominees were not present, especially since notifications were sent and noted he would check with his staff. Council Member Ikeda stated that these nominations and appointments seemed more of a regional matter as opposed to an island-wide matter and wondered if the nominations need council approval at all. Mr. Ashida stated the Mayor's communication doesn't specify one way or another if council action is necessary. Committee Chair Pilago clarified that this matter does in fact have to move to the full council for approval. Mr. Ashida stated that if all nominees were confirmed, the Kailua Village Design Commission will be fully staffed with two members' term expiring at the end of the year and replacements pursued. Mr. Ashida escorted Ms. Marone and Ms. Au Hoy to be greeted and congratulated by members of the Committee. Pursuant to Section 25-7-2, Hawaii County Code, the Kailua Village Design Commission shall consist of nine members who shall be appointed by the mayor with approval by the Council. PC REPORT NO. 88
