rather than meeting on May 15th. All commissioners agreed. Ms. Maddox clarified there will be no meeting on May 15th; next meeting will be held on June 5th Ms. Maddox asked if there could be a generic discussion of meeting results or feedback. Ms. Garson said she would revise the description for agenda item #5 to cover that. Ms. Maddox noted agenda items #6 and #7 will be standing items for the agenda. Ms. Garson said if communications come in, agenda item #3 will be added. Ms. Garson updated the Commission regarding the meeting site in Waimea, which is Councilwoman Wille's office, for videoconferencing. They informed us that we could use their facility; however the area for the videoconferencing is in their actual office and not a separate room. It would involve coordination with their office so the meeting would not disturb their daily work. Ms. Garson said the meetings will continue to be held in Hilo and Kona. 8.
