Veterans Advisory Committee February 25, 2026 Page 2 STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC J Sze: after last meeting spoke with younger veterans and feedback was they were not aware of actions being done by this committee. Most of efforts are for veteran’s events. Do we have anything we’re doing for issues local veterans are facing? Discussion ensued. J Yoshimoto advised should agendize this if this something that is going to be discussed in detail because the public need to have notice. As a statement it is fine but if going to go into discussion or details, recommendation that this should be agendized for a future agenda item. Chair Doolittle: advocate as an agenda item. E Garcia: supports agendizing J Sze questions for next agenda. As a member of this community, don’t see anything coming from this board. Would love to know, specifically, what this board is capable of doing? Read minutes from past two years and have not seen any action from committee. Committee does excellent job with recognition but living veterans are suffering. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES Chair M Doolittle: Introduced November 19, 2025 minutes. M Hanato moved to accept minutes. Vice-Chair M Brinkley seconded the motion. J Yoshimoto: Page 4, section B, missing an “r” should say “importance” for doing this… T Wojszynski moved to amend the minutes. W Nishijima seconded the motion to amend the minutes. All stated aye. All in favor of accepting minutes of previous meeting (as amended). All stated aye. Motion carries. ELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR Chair M Doolittle: anyone interested in these positions? Going to submit my name to continue as Chair throughout rest of term. Will seek a third term. M Brinkley are you continuing to be vice chair? Vice-Chair M Brinkley: could if no one else is interested but would be happy to step aside.
