4 The AC can look at the County web page to see what other such committees are doing. The retreat might occur on a Saturday. Allen will send out an email soliciting days and times when people will be available to commit for a five-hour block of time. OLD BUSINESS 5. Election of Chair and Vice Chair On this topic Leonard Librizzi asked if someone wanted to volunteer. Jeannie Palermo and Mike Fischer volunteered. Fran Tabor suggested they might serve as interim volunteers. Allen described the scope and duties of a chair: to work with Allen to set the agenda, possibly to add items to the agenda, to review minutes in advance as Allen does, to facilitate meetings, and to act as a designated spokesperson for the AC. Achahn Schulze moved, and Fran Tabor seconded, that Mike and Jeannie serve as co chairs until a further decision is made at the retreat. Approval was unanimous among the AC members. 6. Determine Meeting Location and Rotation Schedule The next meeting will be Wednesday, March 24, at 5 pm. The later time suited several members. The date adjustment will enable Margaret Horwatt to attend. Mike Fischer of Waikoloa expressed that when substantive issues arose, then other meeting locations might be more important. For now, most members come from Waimea and a Waimea location is convenient STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC Margaret Wille stressed that the Steering Committee had fought to secure for the AC the opportunity to review developments; see CDP page 148. South Kohala was the only AC that has “other duties specified in the CDP.” There are logs on subdivisions and rezoning, available for review. These are the important ones. Margaret discussed in some detail a recent Parker School application. She said impact fees are coming up for consideration on March 16 and there are other important issues ahead. The AC should ask to be kept informed. The Steering Committee had worked to empower the AC. Sherman Warner said there are “lots of action items” in the CDP and lots that call for a push for legislation. The AC might want to pull items out and prioritize them. On the Parker School matter, he said the Planning Commission had approved the application without incorporating an agreement worked out with the community. Several AC members expressed a belief that Parker School would or should abide by the agreement referenced.
