Home

LT: Yes, sir, we have a lot of questions coming in – sorry we have to re-start our computer cause of a software update so we’re gonna be taking a recess here in two minutes but thank you very much for your presentation – we enjoyed it a lot and it – you know – we – \[unclear\] help. JT: Thank you very much, happy to help. LT: Thank you. Mahalo. OK, everyone. Sorry, we’re going to be moving on, um, from the presentation we have the County of Hawaii – they’re kind of slow with their software updates in our old computer so the computer’s going to do a mandatory shut down is what this computer’s telling us right now. So, we’re gonna take a short recess and if we can come back then we will and if we cannot come back then you guys will know… OK. IKK: See you back shortly. LT: So, let’s jump right back in this and we can get all the way to this budget and talk about the finances since we have quorum – we have one, two, three, four, five. Thank you very much and let’s jump right back into this agenda item. Agenda item number 6, New Business, I’m going to table everything and put Discussion on our Budget first cause that seems to be something we can talk about right now and then if we get to items number a. and b., which is our Commissioner Reports I don’t mind holding that off until one more month so we can hold it for the new mayor coming in with the new county council instead of having the old people right before we go out here. We’re moving to agenda item 6 - f. Discussion and Decision Making: What funds are available for GMAC? What are the requirements for allocation and disbursement. Review of the expenditure report July 1, 2024, through September 30, 2024, in support of discussion. Commissioners, to discuss whether they can use the budget to go to legislature opening; determine which Commissioners can travel on behalf of GMAC. Lobbying by GMAC Commissioners is not permitted. Good thing we’re not held by the lobbying rules and, Sunshine Law: Either two members may attend and discuss board business subject to further restrictions or less than quorum can attend and prepare a report but cannot discuss any board business. 6. NEW BUSINESS: a. Discussion and Decision Making: Draft GMAC 2024 First Quarter Report to Mayor and County Council, Commissioner Robert Duerr. b. Discussion and Decision Making: Draft GMAC 2024 Second Quarter Report to Mayor and County Council, Commissioner Leomana Turalde. 24
