<br /> <br />T. Spinola-Campbell <br /> stated that it is on the 2010 Standards for <br />Accessible Designs. It’s geared to designers, architects, engineers. <br />Both Teri and Renee will be attending as well as P&R Staff. <br /> <br /> 5. Housing Ad Hoc Committee <br />C. Cholas <br /> put together a draft of a recommendation that could be <br />used to go to the Mayor regarding visitability. (Read draft letter.) It <br />was decided that Chris and Edel would look into what features are <br />already included in the Building Code before approving this <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />P. Aughe <br /> announced that they did a show for the disability and it will <br />be airing on NALEO in the next couple of weeks. She’ll send that to <br />Sandy, who will notify everyone. <br /> <br />C. Board Meeting Attendance <br /> <br />R. Schoen <br /> stated that this committee is in existence as long as the <br />Mayor’s term is in existence. Mr. Souza has been on and lasted over the <br />course of many mayor’s, as has Laura. One issue that came up was <br />budgeting and being able to fund the ad hoc committees and attendance <br />by committee members at certain events. The discussion will go towards <br />the ability of the committee to fund mileage for ad hoc committee <br />meetings, the ability to fund request for travel to conferences, in additional <br />to regular mileage. The office also provides lunch for you. The Sunshine <br />Law allows permitted interaction outside of a scheduled monthly board <br />meeting. So, with that in mind, your rules allow you to have <br />subcommittees, yet the Hawai‘i Revised Statutes says if you do have <br />committees, they really should be meeting for a limited purpose and then <br />disbanded. You guys kind of met as ad hoc committees in the beginning <br />and kind of stopped. That’s kind of what I wanted to let you guys know <br />before you began your discussion. <br /> <br />P. De LimaL. Tobosa <br /> wanted to discuss board attendance. wanted to <br />R. <br />know what our by-laws say regarding attendance. According to <br />Schoen <br />, it doesn’t say anything about attendance, but if there is no <br />quorum then you can’t meet. The Hawai‘i Revised Statute also provides <br />that if there is a board member that continues to not attend meetings such <br />that it prevents the board from making quorum, then that member can be <br />excused (terminated). If we had a meeting in Kona and the video feed <br />went down, we would be prevented from meeting because we agendized <br />it that way. But now the new law is that you can have meetings via <br />telephone. But if say Mr. Souza is going to participate in his home, he’s <br />got to agendize his home and let the public into his home to participate. <br />So one alternative is to have meetings scheduled at the County Building in <br />Kona and then you don’t have to worry about the video. <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />
