The meeting was recessed at 11:35 a.m. The meeting was reconvened at 11:40 a.m. NEW BUSINESS A. MCPD COMMITTEE NAMES L. Scadden reported that we should not be using the word “subcommittee” because the subcommittee meetings would be subject to the Sunshine Law and require public announcements prior to the meetings. After some discussion, MCPD suggested changing “subcommittee” to “team.” L. Scadden reminded MCPD members to notify J. Viernes if he/she is not able to attend a meeting. He suggested that MCPD members call the day prior to the meeting if possible. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON NON-AGENDA ISSUES C. Taliferro raised concerns about his driver’s license number that was recently assigned to him and the wrong identification photo placed on his driver’s license renewal. L. Scadden responded that someone obviously made an error. He asked MCPD for guidance and comments to provide to C. Taliferro. J. Matsui suggested that C. Taliferro inquire assistance from Corporation Counsel. A. Mitchener suggested the Legal Aid Society and Hawaii Disability Rights as other possible agencies to seek assistance. A. Mitchener recommended that the MCPD meeting be published on-line for the County newsletter. J. Matsui pointed out that a notice is published in the newspaper.
