presentations by different entities on topics, such as infrastructure improvements and long-range planning in various areas. Mr. Kay responded that the staff were currently coordinating those presentations for future agendas. ANNOUNCEMENTS The Leeward Planning Commission's next monthly meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 16, 2021 by interactive video conference via Zoom. At 10:37 a.m. Chairman Vitousek called upon staff to provide any updates on the next meeting agenda. Mr. Kay said that there were presently two items, including a request for clarification of intervenor status for the SMA 21-000078 Mysin contested case. Commissioner DeFranco commented that because of the limited interaction in the virtual meeting environment, the commissioners knew little about each other, and that she thought it was important for them to know each other's background and expertise while working together. Chairman Vitousek suggested that he call on each commissioner to give a little background on themselves during the roll call at the next meeting. Upon inquiry by Mr. Kay, Deputy Corporation Counsel Schlueter said that as long as it was limited to introduction of commissioners themselves, no special mention on the agenda would be necessary. Chairman Vitousek clarified that there would be no discussion or questions, and that it would just be the opportunity for each commissioner to briefly tell their background. Commissioner Yates asked about how the short-term vacation rental registration activities had been since the enactment of the ordinance. She said that she was interested in the outcome because the Commission had had a lengthy hearing on the matter. Mr. Kay responded that the County was about two years into the program, and that the staff could present the status either off-line or at a future meeting. Deputy Corporation Counsel Schlueter advised that that topic had to be agendized in order for the commissioners to ask questions and get information on. Chairman Vitousek asked the staff to place a status report on the short-term vacation rental program on a future meeting agenda. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, it was moved by Commissioner DeFranco and seconded by Commissioner Yates that the meeting be adjourned. A voice vote was taken, and the motion carried with no one opposed. Chairman Vitousek adjourned the meeting at 10:43 a.m. Respectfully submitted, ATTEST: Noriko Sauer, Secretary Michael Vitousek, Chairman Leeward Planning Commission 4 Leeward Planning Commission August 19,2021,Meeting Minutes
