CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br /> Mr. Balsis called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. and welcomed Douglass Adams, the newest member of the Board. He asked Mr. Adams if he would share some of his background. <br /> <br /> Mr. Adams said he served 20 years as an Army officer and also spent time in the state of Washington working for a group that supported the Washington State National Guard with disaster relief, and he also helped other non-profit agencies. He has been an attorney in Virginia since 2002 and has not lived there since 2003. He and his wife are both graduates of West Point. His wife retired in 2010, and for a year they went on a 50-state cycling tour for veterans and military. They started in New York and finished in Hawai‘i in 2011, traveling 18,000 miles in a year. Since he has family roots here, they decided to move to Hawai‘i. <br /> <br /> Mr. Adams then requested that a moment be taken to remember the victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks. The Board took a moment of silence to remember the victims. <br /> <br /> <br />2. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br /> There were no statements from the public. <br /> <br />3. APPROVAL OF THE REGULAR SESSION MINUTES OF AUGUST 14, 2013 <br /> <br /> Mr. Balsis pointed out a typo on page 3 of the drafted minutes, regarding which disclosures were approved. It should read 2 and 3, not 1 and 2.
