LEEWARD PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> MINUTES <br /> FEBRUARY 18, 2021 <br /> Based on the Governor's Seventeenth Proclamation Related to the COVID-19 Emergency dated <br /> December 16, 2020, this meeting was scheduled to be held online, with live-streaming for the <br /> public to observe the meeting; however, there was a technical problem with starting up the live <br /> stream. Efforts were made for almost an hour, with assistance of a WebEx representative, but <br /> the problem could not be resolved. Deputy Corporation Counsel Malia Hall advised that the <br /> Governor's Eighteenth Proclamation Related to the COVID-19 Emergency allows the <br /> Commission to proceed with this meeting without live-streaming, if the Commission's good faith <br /> efforts to implement remote technology for public observations do not work. Chairman Michael <br /> Vitousek, noting that there were no public members who wished to testify on any of the items on <br /> the agenda and that a quorum was present, called the meeting to order at 10:20 a.m. <br /> Chairman Vitousek explained the protocol for this online meeting and took a roll call of the <br /> Commissioners and staff members present. <br /> COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Michael Vitousek, Nancy Carr Smith, Barbara DeFranco, <br /> Perry Kealoha, Max Newberg, and Mark Van Pernis <br /> ABSENT AND EXCUSED: Faith"Faye" Yates <br /> ALSO IN ATTENDANCE: Malia Hall, Esq.
