Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes August 24, 2021 Page 2 Bill 60: Amends Membership and Tenure of Committee Chair Doolittle introduced the agenda item. We wanted to discuss Bill 60 it was presented in Committee last week or the week before last week. Debra and I both made live statements of testimony and we wanted to make sure we update and for reference to everyone on the committee. It seemed to go fairly smoothly although it was only Debra and myself that gave any live testimony. Do we have any questions about Bill 60? Bill 60 is the membership bill submitted by Susan Lee Loy and Councilman Inaba. P&R Deputy Director Michelle Hiraishi: It was actually heard on Tuesday, August 171h so last week Tuesday.

Did anybody submit written testimony? Vice -Chair Marcia Brinkley: I did. Chair Doolittle: Marcie, yeah, I know you did. I would encourage everybody to put in their two cents worth. Lewis: Michelle, when is that next meeting? Deputy Hiraishi: It's not scheduled yet that I'm aware of. But as soon as we find out, we'll let everyone know. (inaudible) It was the committee reading that it passed, the Committee meeting of the County Council that was passed, last week Tuesday. Lewis: Correct, so the next one is full Council? Deputy Hiraishi: My understanding and J, please correct me if I'm wrong, it's supposed to go through the full process so Committee to Council and then two readings within
