UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. Display of Logo Contest Entries - J. Anderson. J. Anderson reported that the display is up along the walkway adjacent to the Department of Public Works office until the end of June. A press release and picture of the logo was submitted to 3 newspapers for publication. A display of the winning logo at the Mayor's Office will be done at a later time. R. Siracusa volunteered to do a write up for the Puna News. A listing of newspapers was also compiled for future use. After the display is removed, all other submittals will be returned to the entrants. A copy of each entry, however, will be kept for our records. 2. Proposal for a Site Inspection to Assess all the Exceptional Trees - J. Anderson. J. Anderson noted that since S. Stanbro verified that one of our trees (`Ohe) was no longer alive, we need to take an assessment of all the trees on the list. S. Stanbro mentioned that the Koki`o Tree (at Manuka State Park) has termite damage on one side of the trunk, but the other side of the tree was really healthy. Something should be done to treat it. She left a message for M. Kraus to look at the tree if he was in that area. J. Anderson will also contact him to see if he can come up with a proposal to tackle that project. She will check with Corporation Counsel D. Noda regarding appropriate protocol for the proposal. 3. Sample Tree Signs - S. Stanbro. Based on comments from the last meeting, S. Stanbro presented several revised versions of the sign. After discussion on centering, changing the location and size of the County seal and deleting some wording, S. Stanbro will further revise the design and bring it to the next meeting. Chair Bisel mentioned that when the signs are fabricated, the design may still need to be "tweaked" to fit that medium. Chair Bisel reminded the public that although he appreciates their presence and comments, the portion of the meeting for the public to get involved in discussions was at the beginning of the meeting. The Committee will discuss items on the agenda and if questions arise or if clarification is required, they would then ask for further input from the public. Change in agenda order to accommodate the public: NEW BUSINESS 2. Nomination of Banyan Tree on TMK: 7-5-7:20 (State of Hawaii) - S. Stanbro. S.

Regarding the Banyan Tree at Hulihee Palace, he recommended contacting the Daughters of Hawaii who have a lease with the Palace. She will be meeting with Aunty Fanny of the Daughters of Hawaii.
