Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes June 22, 2021 Page 5 Lewis: I move, unless someone has other discussion, I move to keep paragraph "c" and "d" as is and make the changes as indicated in "e" that says for additional terms, no, for more than three consecutive terms. Chair Doolittle: I have a question for you, Deb. Your term expired last year; I believe. How did you get extended? Lewis: J can probably answer that. But I didn't have a five-year term. Iyo: Sorry, J, I can answer that one. So, Deb, you were one of the members who when we first started, I think your term was two years and I think there were only a couple members when we first started were given the full five-year term. George... Lewis: I think George was around a while though. The committee was around for quite a while. Iyo: Well, we only reactivated in 2017, that's why we had to restart the staggered terms. I keep track of those things, like Deb, I'll usually let you know when your term is going to expire and how you can reapply. Chair Doolittle: Ok. The committee was actually in moth balls in 2017. I know that there hadn't been any committee meetings in about four or five years under Mayor Billy Kenoi because I went back and reviewed the minutes of all the past meetings just to understand what the committee was looking at. This was a fresh organization. I don't think I even knew how the terms for each member was orchestrated until I know that Emile's tenure ended last December, and he didn't reapply. But for all of us to understand our terms, I believe my term expires this December. I haven't really seen the list. Brinkley: Michael, you are correct and there are three that expire at the end of this year, you, Minoru, and Isaac. All three of you should reapply. I found that under hawaii county. gov under Parks & Recs under our committee and there's a fact sheet that Brittany had posted and that's where it's listed. Iyo: Yeah, but I'll always remind you guys when your term is going to end and how you can reapply. Chair Doolittle: For each member I think each member ought to know what his expiration time is and whether or not they care to participate further. Rather than it be a mystery. Thank you for the clarification it is on the County website. Let's move forward. Do we have, we don't seem to have anything that we want to alter or modify or amend the way it's written now. Lewis: Michael, we still have to vote on "e" we're keep actually "c", "d" and "e" we're modifying it just slightly for additional terms and that provided no member serve on the
