A.Procedure for our advisory Member Gonzales expressed her frustration of 4. Old Business letters to the Mayor the past practice of the committee not providing regular communication to the Mayor, nor produced documents that included suggestions about County issues with Committee recommendations. Having committee awareness for the Mayor was determined to be important to this committee. Members Hiraishi and Gonzales felt that accountability to the Mayor of the Committee’s actions to fulfill the charge of the committee. Committee members asked to receive the past annual report. Christina Raine will facilitate the location of the report and distribute to the members. Members agreed that the letter to the Mayor would be drafted at the meeting on matters of their noted community concerns that have impacted community members of persons with disabilities (e.g., parking tickets, and volunteer ticketing agents). The letter should be addressed to the Mayor via Rose Bautista (Executive Assistant). There were conversations about the issue of parking tickets and income generation from ticketing going to the County (ticketing funds if a State of Hawaii matters). Interim Chair Gonzales volunteered to draft the initial letter to the Mayor about the issue of lack of enforcement for parking violations for illegal use of reserved parking stalls for persons with disabilities. The letter would be drafted during this meeting. Member Hiraishi will contact Disability Communication Access Board for the community policing parking violation notices. She will share them with committee members once obtained. Member Gonzales nominated Michelle Hiraishi and Member Punihaole seconded.
