Home

Kaneali‘i asked the Action Committee for consensus on appointing these subcommittee members. The appointments passed with unanimous consent. 2. Communication No. 2018-01 Discussion of 2018 AC Meeting Dates and Goal Setting. Staff Childs introduced the proposed 2018 meeting schedule to the Action Committee and explained that the bracketed dates are tentative and that some of the dates were changed to account for holidays. The Action Committee generally requested having more meetings in Waikoloa. Staff Bartlett explained that venue scheduling difficulties in Waikoloa had made meeting there less than ideal, she agreed to search for alternate venues and update the meeting schedule if successful. Staff Morrison introduced the topic of goal setting to the Action Committee. She proposed an idea for the Action Committee to find projects they would like to work on from the CDP’s implementation table. These projects would be prioritized during a future meeting. A suggestion was to bring forward issues from their representative towns/communities. The Action Committee expressed difficulty in doing this localized approach when issues are unevenly represented within the Action Committee. Committee Member McLaughlin suggested setting goals for both 2018 and 2019 with general consensus from the rest of the Action Committee. Staff Childs suggested a loosely structured approach in which AC members report back at the next meeting bearing in mind issues within their own community while being mindful of priority issues in the entire district. The Action Committee agreed to this approach and settled on a deadline of May 15th to get their submittals in.
