Chair Adams said there is a fair amount of information in the Director’s Report, and anyone <br />who has follow-up questions can contact the Department or ask for them to be put on the <br />agenda for the next meeting. <br /> <br />8. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />Chair Adams said we will see what kind of progress the ad hoc committee is making on barriers <br />to private recycling. She will talk with Council Member Richards and see what communications <br />we can have with the Council in brainstorming mode. If there are other items that members <br />know we want to get on the agenda, let her know. <br /> <br />9. ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />The next meeting is November 24, and it will be online. <br /> <br />Commissioners reviewed with the Deputy Corporation Counsel and the Secretary the <br />10 <br /> pertaining to board meetings that are going into effect on <br />requirements of the new law <br />January 1. One of the new requirements for remote meetings is to host a location open to the <br />public, so this will be attempted as a trial run at the November 24, 2021, meeting, at Building G, <br />the Community Meeting Hale, at the West Hawai‘i Civic Center. <br />Vice Chair Gaffney also asked Commissioners to be prepared to handle an appeal of the <br />Director’s order. Deputy Corporation Counsel Sinclair Salas-Ferguson said he could not <br />comment on that because it was not on the agenda, but if and when it gets to that point he will <br />send something out to have members prepared. He also said he will be out on paternity leave <br />and Deputy Corporation Counsel Keyra Wong will be covering the November meeting.
