We are entering 2020 with many achievements under our belt, and are grateful to serve <br /> the public's overwhelming desire to support the existence of the PONC. However, we now <br /> find the Commission precariously on the brink of non-functionality due to the continued <br /> existence of vacancies on the commission, and the terming out of twomore <br /> commissioners in 2020. Considering the lengthy amount of time that vetting and <br /> confirming new commissioners have historically taken, the public is justifiably concerned <br /> with the Commission's ability to meet quorum in the near future. We mustbe vigilant to <br /> line up replacementsJor our outgoing commissioners to be able to meet quorum even if <br /> one commissioner is absent. <br /> The work of our Commission was possible with the support of our County staff. We are <br /> tremendously thankful for the excellent work of Commission Secretary, Maxine Cutler; <br /> Property Manager, Hamana Ventura; Deputy Corporation Counsel Amy Self(retired April <br /> 2019); and Deputy Corporation Counsel Ronald Kim. <br /> Again, we are thankful for the support of the County of Hawaii. It is a pleasure working <br /> with communities, non-profits, and other agencies to preserve Hawai'i's cultural and <br /> natural resources. <br /> Aloha Nui Loa, <br /> Kekaulike Tomich, Chairman <br /> Commissioners (District): <br /> E.
