Ms. Wille: And the Council Members. <br /> Mr. Onishi: And the Council Members, yes. Like the other day we had the discussion <br /> about this certain issue and then they were wondering what is the Task <br /> Force doing. So that's when it kind of brought up the questions. <br /> Ms. Wille: Sort of like is it going to be years before they hear back from us. <br /> Mr Onishi: Yes. <br /> Ms. Wille: Well, they say there are minutes. <br /> Mr. Onishi: Yes, cause minutes that we approve are public record so they could go <br /> and get that information but not everyone's going to do that. That's just a <br /> suggestion on what you were mentioning. That could be another issue so <br /> we could maybe discuss that one after we finish the timetable. <br /> Ms. Wille: Let me just make a couple more comments. I also think in terms of our <br /> meetings and sort of how much we get done at each meeting, we've sort <br /> of been doing like a half day or a two or three hour meeting. For me to <br /> drive like to Hilo and for me to drive like this time, I'm good at having a <br /> lunch break and going on. I would rather get more accomplished and I do <br /> have in one day, I mean at a certain point if we get tired and can't take <br /> anymore, but I would prefer to get more done in each day that we meet <br /> and schedule it that way. Unless somebody has a particular problem on a <br /> particular date that we not be hardfast to that. <br /> Mr. Onishi: Any comments on that right now? But that's a good one. Maybe we <br /> should start from there first on how are we going to schedule our meetings <br /> and what is the timeline that we want to do. <br /> Mr. Hussey: That's a good starting point. It needs to be balanced because some of us <br /> are still working. We've got deadlines and things that taking a full day out <br /> is a consideration. I am happy to be on the committee and give what I can <br /> to it. Take the time that we have and make it most effective. Rather than <br /> take an hour in the meeting in Waimea for the purposes of clarifying what <br /> we are we supposed to be doing, who are we going to be serving, what do <br /> we expect from the process, and I've got some things to add to that, to <br /> really get the job done and use our time most effectively. An hour meeting <br /> probably doesn't hack that. We should set a limit though, instead of taking <br /> a full day out, it's going to be basically a full day anyway from Volcano <br /> here and back by the time we're done. We've got three hours of meeting <br /> but maybe takes five or six hours of me, I begin to gulp and say it really <br /> cuts in to other responsibilities. So somewhere in there is a balance. I <br /> committed to serve as I can and to spend the time most effectively. I don't <br /> know what the answer to that is but, anyway, why don't you go ahead and <br /> finish your thing. <br /> -4 - <br />
