• Discuss scheduling strategies for 2008 Mr. Flores suggested that the Commission spend this year to formalize rules, explore available funding sources and re -visit properties on the 2006 and 2007 lists to create an updated list. In addition focus on the various issues addressed in the "Commission and Community Concerns" section of the 2007 Annual Report to the Mayor. Ms. Springer asked for comment on the possibility of having just an East Hawaii and West Hawaii meeting instead of one in each council district. Ms. Self reminded the commissioners that there can be no more than four of them present at one time and they must report back to the full Commission. Ms. Springer clarified that we will continue to receive intake forms; however that will not be the main focus of these community meetings. She further added that they will set the calendar at the next meeting in February. Mr. Flores suggested that if the Commission continues to receive suggestion forms, there will be no due date or expectation of when it's to be reviewed and assessed. Mr. Yada reminded the Commission that in the code it does note that they are responsible for submitting an updated list every year along with the annual report to the Mayor. Ms. Self suggested that the Commission continue discussion on how the Commission will approach this.
