Currently, <br />37 North Kohala and Puna do not have sufficient members to meet quorum, and Ka'u is yet to be <br />38 seated.

When will they begin <br />60 so that 2021 Chair/Vice Chair elections may be completed to allow them to work on setting <br />61 agendas? <br />62 A: Subsequent to this meeting, Long-Range Planning staff will solicit input from AC members for <br />63 input on day of week & time of day that is best for members and community to meet via on-line <br />64 platforms. The first quarterly meeting will be planned for late-February/March of 2021. <br />65 Q: With quarterly AC meetings, will items that require a vote mean that at minimum three <br />66 meetings over seven months will be needed? <br />67 A: Yes, for items such as subcommittee reports, but we would explore alternatives within <br />68 Sunshine Law according to the nature of the item to be voted on. <br />69 Q: How will quarterly AC meeting and C2CLS agendas be determined? <br />70 A: For quarterly meetings, in the same fashion as before where AC members propose items, and <br />71 the Chair/Long-Range Planning staff structure the agenda. For C2CLS, AC members across the <br />72 island will propose items and the Long-Range Planning staff will aggregate into an agenda and <br />73 review with AC Chairs <br />https.llwww.plannin,-.hawaiicounty.,-ov/home southkohala(a)hawaiicountp.pov Page 2 <br />
