witness meant it and she told the story to the deaf community. He and the deaf <br />community are upset for believing the witness. <br />The motion was passed. <br />STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ISSUES <br />S. Golden reported that she enjoys the printed report from the ADA Coordinator <br />attached with the minutes. She preferred a written report for all of the committees <br />reports included in the minutes. If the report comes in before the meeting, then it needs <br />to be in alternative format. If it comes in after the meeting, then it could be included with <br />the minutes. L. Scadden said that MCPD usually receives the DCAB report prior to the <br />meeting. The committee will be happy to furnish a copy of the DCAB report when <br />requested by the public. Sometimes A. Mitchener provides a written report for the parks <br />and recreation report at the meeting. <br />S. Golden said that the county council has established a new order for the agenda. <br />Statements from the public on agenda issues used to be at the start of the meeting and <br />now it is split up during the meeting. She asked if MCPD is willing to change their <br />agenda. L. Scadden replied that he has been very lax and he has certainly allowed the <br />public to speak during the meeting. At the last meeting in Hilo, there was as much talk <br />from the floor than from the table. He offered to check the county policy to determine if <br />there has been any change. <br />J. Hartman added that when the public is asked to make statements on items on the <br />agenda,thepublichasnoideawhattheyaregoingtohear.Therefore,itsverydifficult <br />to talk about items on the agenda. If the public learns what was going to be said, then <br />the public can talk to those issues. If not, then the public has to wait two months <br />because the meeting is held in Hilo and then comes back to Kona. <br />B. Whitney wondered if it would be helpful to change the order of the agenda by <br />switching statements from the public on agenda issues with statements from the public <br />on non-agenda issues. <br />S. Golden recommended comments from the public before, discussion from committee <br />members, rebuttal after each item, and then the vote. <br />TREASURERS REPORT <br />The treasurers report was reviewed. <br />M. Gleason made a motion to accept the treasurers report as submitted. L. Tobosa <br />secondedthemotion.Themotionwaspassed. <br />CORRESPONDENCE <br />None. <br />2 <br /> <br />
