Smith: So, Cody let me follow-up. So, to preserve our options, could we have <br />published an agenda that would allow hybrid method of having a meeting that would <br />give us the choice to do either? <br />Frenz: No. If you're going to do that, you need to state what it's going to be, you can't <br />say it's going to be this or this. <br />Takase: The problem is not so much for the public, it's for the Board. The way I read <br />the rules is that we have to choose one or the other and we can't have some members <br />not present. <br />Ibarra: Riley, you're on the State board, and I'm on the State board too, we published <br />the options on the agenda. The Commissioners may appear by hybrid, and there's a <br />place where the rest will be appearing, and they'll go to that place. But, I guess that's <br />the way we've been having it. <br />Takase: I haven't really looked at the State's one, so I don't know how they're <br />operating. I suspect since they're all on different islands, I hear they're never going to <br />go back, so they want to stay that way as much as possible because it saves them <br />money. I think they'll probably looking at the County, saying well you guys are all on the <br />same island so it shouldn't be the same problems. Only here it's a big problem because <br />of the distance. <br />Ibarra: Apparently, we're not the only Board and Commission going through these <br />questions, and it might come up with them. <br />Takase: It may come up with the other ones, and if you want to make a <br />recommendation that we think, you know we've done it and it's good to do because the <br />Council has pretty much adopted that, but they also set-up satellite sites for the public to <br />testify at. But, if you folks want to make that as one of your recommendations, that we <br />should always have the ability to be in- person or by Zoom, we always maintain that <br />option. I guess, this is a good place to bring it up at. <br />Ibarra: I'm sure if not us, somebody else will. <br />Takase: Everybody has the same problems. <br />Smith: I think it makes sense. Paula, did you want to add anything? <br />Thomas: No, I think my question is answered, but I didn't hear everything you said, <br />Gerald. <br />Takase: I said that, Riley and Ron both sit on State boards, Board of Land and Natural <br />Resources, and Prison Oversight Commission. So they have the ability to, and they <br />have been meeting by Zoom. Does anybody meet in person? <br />MINUTES - LIQUOR COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2022 - KONA PAGE 23 OF 31 <br />
