(Please note that during this time, there was an audio interference from the public.) <br /> YOSHINA: I'm not trying to close off any discussion of the public on this but, is the <br /> Commission allowed to go into executive session to kind of come to some agreement <br /> about this or is that prohibited by law? <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Well, not really because your deliberations should be public for most <br /> purposes. If you think that there's reasons that you can't meet the deadlines, I think that <br /> the public would have a right to hear those because the Charter is quite specific. <br /> KOSSOW: I'm sorry, Diana. Can you put the mic a little bit closer? <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Can you hear me? Okay. The Charter is quite specific on the <br /> deadlines and so I think it would be important for the public to hear the reasons if this <br /> group feels that it can't meet those. I'm not saying that there's a problem with it. There is <br /> a tight timeline. I think it is something the public should participate in. I cannot see a <br /> reason that you would be able to exclude them from that. <br /> YOSHINA: Okay, thank you. <br /> BATH: Chair, this is Stephanie. <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Bath. <br /> BATH: If you just let me entertain some thoughts here. Setting aside all dates, setting <br /> aside the timeline, and focusing on what our goals are, I think we can all agree that the <br /> Commissioners have the desire and the will to complete the task at hand and that we're <br /> all committed. If we can have that as our baseline, what are the obstacles that are before <br /> us? I know that I'm not secure with the tools. Would it be possible to have a live <br /> workshop? A hands-on workshop or virtual workshop so we could all feel confident. <br /> Cori's helped me over the phone, and it help immensely. But to have an in-person or <br /> online, however we want to do it, workshop, and get our confidence up would be a first <br /> step based on what I've heard. The second would be to have a work meeting. During the <br /> Puna Community Development Plan, one of our goals was to identify connectivity <br /> locations between subdivisions for redundancy <br /> KOSSOW: I'm sorry, Ms. Bath. We can't really hear you over here because we are <br /> currently going through an alarm. I would like to break for recess for five minutes, and <br /> then Ms. Bath, I will give you that time after the five minutes. <br /> (Five minute recess.) <br /> KOSSOW: I would like to call the meeting back in to order. Ms. Bath, you had the floor. <br /> Ms. Bath, you're recognized. <br /> 18 <br />
