Committee on Aging Minutes July 25, 2018 Page 3 7. GOAL #4 OF THE AREA PLAN: AGE IN PLACE Clayton Honma reported on the following: 1. Case Management: • Hawaii County is the only county with case management contracted out and NOT provided directly by ADRC staff. Service costs approximately $600K/year; • ADRC staff are currently reviewing the hiring in-house to see if there is a costs savings. Their recommendation will then be brought to Kimo. • Unduplicated costs of 400 seniors per year. Public Health nurses takes care of 100 of those. 2. Home Modification: • Common misnomer is that it only adds "associative devices" (grab bars, shower bars, etc.) • Wanting to modify so it allows the addition of ramps, etc. • The goals of the plan have remained the same, to Age in Place. • Debbie Wills is the Program Planner. • Kimo will review for input then submit the plan to the committee. 8. COMMITTEE OPERATIONS AND LEGAL ISSUES — Malia Hall 1. Sunshine Law, Chapter 92 HRS: The Sunshine Law is Hawaii's open meetings law. It governs the manner in which all state and county boards must conduct their official business. Key take a ways from Malia's report that affect this committee: • Require any board packet put together for the meeting to be made available for public inspection in the board's office at the time it is distributed to board members; • Require meeting notices to be posted on state and county electronic calendars; • Allow a board to use a recording of its meeting, with a written summary as its minutes, as an alternative to creating written minutes; and • Require the board to post its minutes online within 40 days after the meeting. Draft version is ok. • For questions about the Sunshine Law you can contact OIP's Attorney of the Day by calling (808) 586-1400 or emailing oip@hawaii.gov. Additional information is available at,www.Hawaii.gov/oiP. 2. Re -defining Quorum: 0 Counsel recommended reducing to 1/3 of committee members.
