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 APRIL 9, 2014 <br /> <br /> Ms. Schoen requested that page numbers be included in the minutes. <br /> <br /> Motion and vote: Mr. Adams moved to approve the minutes with the revisions requested <br />by Ms. Schoen. Mr. Hisashima seconded the motion, and all members voted aye. <br /> <br />4. COMMUNICATION <br /> <br /> a. Correspondence to the Board dated May 2, 2014 from Duane Kanuha, Planning <br /> Director, requesting an informal opinion from the Board as to whether legal <br /> representation of Petitioner by a former County employee in a proceeding before <br /> the Windward Planning Commission would not be violative of Section 2-91.2 <br /> of the Hawai‘i County Code. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: I’ve reviewed the letter and I’ve reviewed the request. I think that it would be <br /> appropriate that we do have an informal hearing at our next meeting to discuss. <br /> At that time, we can ask Duane to be here as well as the other person being the <br /> attorney representing someone and with that in mind, if that’s okay with the <br /> Board, I move that we have an informal hearing at the next meeting. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
