LEEWARD PLANNING COMMISSION COUNTY OF HAWAII DISCUSSION TRANSCRIPT MAY 20, 2021 The commission discussed potential amendments to the agenda for this live-stream online meeting at 9:55 a.m., with Chairman Michael Vitousek presiding. COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Michael Vitousek, Nancy Carr Smith, Barbara DeFranco, Max Newberg, Mark Van Pernis, and Faith "Faye"Yates ABSENT AND EXCUSED: Clement"CJ" Kanuha III ALSO IN ATTENDANCE: Dalilah Schlueter, Esq. (Counsel for the Commission), Jean Campbell, Esq. (Counsel for the Planning Department), Jeffrey Darrow (Deputy Planning Director), Maija Jackson (Planning Program Manager), Alex Roy (Planner), Christian Kay (Planner), Tracie-Lee Camero (Planner), and Noriko Sauer(Leeward Planning Commission Secretary) VITOUSEK: Before we get into public testimony, we have some potential changes to the agenda. Sunshine Law allows the commission to alter the agenda on the day of the meeting with a two-thirds vote of the commission, provided that changes to the agenda are not reasonably major importance. So, requested change number one, is with the pending departure of Vice Chair Max Newberg from the commission, we will be without a vice chair for the June meeting. There is a chance that I have a scheduling conflict in June and may not be able to attend; therefore, it would be prudent to amend the agenda to allow for the election of a temporary vice chair for the June meeting to give us enough time to properly agendize a permanent replacement for Vice Chair Newberg at a future meeting. Therefore, I request a motion from the commissioners to amend the agenda to allow for the election of a temporary vice chair for the June LPC meeting. CARR SMITH: So moved. YATES: (Raises hand to second the motion) VITOUSEK: Moved by Commissioner Carr Smith. Second by Commissioner Yates. Any discussion? Commissioner Van Pernis? VAN PERNIS: (Inaudible—microphone on mute) VITOUSEK: Yeah, needs to be unmuted. 1 EXHIBIT A
