Relating to Special .Management Areas. Expands exclusions to the definition of "development" for purposes of special management areas to reduce the need for special management area permits for certain activities. Supported this last year.

Chair Rapozo: Inquiry as to why we do not have the documentation needed to continue with the audit. ED Parsons: The change over amongst staff and roles within HSAC has meant that records are no longer obtainable going back to those years prior to anyone currently on the EC. This is the first record of an audit being requested.

January 17, 2023, HSAC Meeting Agenda Pae 1 S 2 � 2 4 oRGO M"��6. CMKimball: Defer to end if we have time. All of us are having issues with vacancy rates, and wanted to see if there was a role for HSAC in the process. c. Discussion on the reimbursement process for NACo and VVIR board members to attend NACo and WIR conferences. CM Waters: Want to clarify if the NACo board of directors can be reimbursed for an unlimited number of conferences or are they restricted to only two conferences. S.Laiu, HNL OCS: It appears that the $2000 is per conference, with regards to applying for reimbursement, HSAC is its own entity so the reimbursement process applies to HSAC as its own entity. The request should go to HSAC directly. CM Waters: The interpretation is $2000 per meeting but limited to two meetings. Kamakana Watanabe HNL OCS. Historical precedence is that it is $2000 per conference. Inquiry to see if there are historical records of how the Treasurer reimbursed for travel in the past. Chair Rapo,zo: In the past it was $2000 per conference and not more than 2 conferences per year. Sometimes this would cover those on steering committees. The county would submit a reimbursement request to HSAC and the funds would go back to the Director of Finance. CM Waters: The future secretary should make an amended rule to make this clear. CMKimball: The $2000 limit pertains to setting the expenditures in the budget. ED Parsons: The budget that was approved for this year shows $24,000 for NACo travel and WIR $12,000. CM Kimball: Where we see the language about the $2000 limit is under the section for budget and what we should include. See page 10, Section 21. But page 11, "Travel" who is eligible, there are no limitations, travel expenses are defined, shows no limit. One more section on travel does not show any limit on the number of reimbursements. i January 17, 2023, HSAC Meeting Agenda Page { 9ZZIMA., PRO ED Parsons: Suggest working with the secretary to look at this and create some draft language to present to the HSAC EC in the future. I CM Waters: Suggest we also evaluate the amount of the reimbursement to consider the increased cost of travel. i d. Discussion on the HSAC planned events at the NACo Legislative conference, Feb 11-14, Washington D.C. ED Parsons: Requesting 25 items of omiyage to be brought to the conference for the NACo .Board of.Directors. Each county pays for these items and arranges for them to be delivered to the hotel by Feb 11, 2022. VI. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion and consideration of the HSAC Executive Committee slate of officers for the term beginning January 1, 2023. ED Parsons: Proposed slate: President Carvalho, Vice President Paltin, Secretary Waters, Treasurer Kimball. CM Carvalho: Motion moved and seconded, no objections. Approved. b. 2022 HSAC Conference Report. CM Kagiwwada: Had 213 participants.

County of Hawaii CM Kimball: Animal control has been done by the humane Society for years, we are looking at expanding the animal control code to expand services. If any other counties have information on this,please let the County of Hawaii know. The county requirements are very narrow in terms of what the county is required to do. CM Paltin: Someone had questions about feral cats and the animal control board only deals with dangerous dogs. CM Kimball: Feedback from the community is that they want us to deal with spay and neuter or other services but we do not have enough resources for this and we are not the best entity to provide these services. Need to improve the law on this. ii. County of Kauai CM Carvalho: For the conference ,we have Koolau landing tentatively secured, and would like to invite REPI to present at the conference. CM Ropozo: Struggling with real property tax on Kauai. All of the counties are looking at ways, asking to carve out a section of the program to have a discussion on real property tax at the conference and invite the people from the real property offices to talk about this. Would like to hear from others on what has been tried and what works and doesn't work. CM Kimball: Comment on the conference, when you will get links for the registration, if we can get it before the end of the year that would be great. iii. County of Maui February 13, 2023, HSBC Meeting Agenda Page 1 3 s azEu A t °R aU CM Paltin: We have welcomed our ninth member, and set up our committees. Passed a resolution extending exemption on midwifery. Recognized our central dispatchers as first responders. Took definition from State of Alabama and inserted it into the resolution. First responder is telecommunications, firefighters, etc. Urges the Mayor to recognize central dispatchers as first responders, the next step is for them to unionize. Next week working on Director confirmations, boards and commissions. Discussing council rules. Have a resolution in the upcoming agenda as Maui is the last county to put out an RFP on the homeowners assistance fund. Urging the administration to put out an RFP, deadline is 2025, have $8M on the table. HNL is the last county before us and they got their RFP out in Ian of 2022. iv. City and County of Honolulu CM Waters: Taking up the conceal and carry law. Big debate over signage whether you say guns are not allowed, or guns are allowed. Passed 201H bills, which were controversial. Would like to build more affordable housing. Interesting talking to other members of NACo they are all experiencing the same issues as we are, homelessness, etc. CM Kia`aina: Agree with the Real property tax being something we should all share, because the farm bill is coming up, going around proposing a new program to be included in the farm bill. Should have something on traditional food programs for indigenous peoples. Proposing this program, cannot talk about food security and not think about the complexity. If we can tackle food security in agriculture, it should be in the context of a national program, so we can help our Native brothers and sisters. These initiatives need a lot of money and should be a national issue. If we can mobilize the counties and introduce it as a new program. Jill Tokuda is on the house agriculture committee and then Case and Schatz can help with the money needed. CM Kimball: Encouragement on the gun safety bill. Have people in Hawaii county want to connect to Esther February 13, 2023, HSAC Fleeting Agenda Page ( 4 4SPSE � 5 o'"eo wt`s' Motion to receive the reports and approve. Approved. c. NACo Report CM Kuali`i: Have 15 of our 34 councilmembers from the State of Hawaii here. We also have Chief of Staff Leo Caires here from the Maui Mayor's office. 30 resolutions considered (less than usual) at the NACo Board meeting, these will be reviewed again in the summer. Of the 30 policy resolutions, 29 of the 30 were approved. The one that was not approved was a resolution supporting reducing federal funding, overall cut. It was a close vote, so our 3 votes made the difference to postpone indefinitely. CM Kierkewitcz gave an excellent presentation "Revitalize Pohoiki," a creative place making project engaging residents in an intentional way. Key speakers included the US Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Transportation, US Surgeon General, Associate Attorney General. The Summit of Mental Health was incredible. Will be hearing from President Biden tomorrow. 65 key resources were shared, including the topics to take to the hill meetings. Requesting people to get more involved with the committees, the deadline is April to apply for some of the committees. This is where the final votes will happen in committee on the policies. CM Waters: There is a lot of money out there in federal funding and we will be bringing a lot of info home to share on this. CM Kuali ri: Need to work with MAyor administrations and go after the funds that are there. CM Addison Bulosan: You should have heard from or they should have reached out to you to disperse the money. CM Kimball: The .EPA has climate pollution funding, $250M for planning, and then x'4.68 for implementation. We could do an HSAC ask. There is a webinar coming up on the 15th. They have not put out the application yet, but it is a great source and we have a lot of potential to go after these resources as a state impacted by climate change. February 13, 2023, HSAC Meeting Agenda Page 5 E ®pCOU CM Kia'a-ina: The CARES Act the Hawai'i delegation secured medicaid ri-eligibility, in 1996 the welfare reform act deliberately excluded them, why they are flailing in the cracks. Secured $2M in ARRA funds, the administration is in the implementation phase, limited to Honolulu, that is the short term resolution. Outside of AACo have been meeting with Miocronesian and federal individuals so when the upcoming compact agreements go to congress for approval you cannot touch the current agreement, but could include another title to take care of the other programs that they are not eligible for. Because they are falling in the cracks, they need more county and state resources. For the shorter term, if you want to do the same and replicate the funeral services. If a typhoon or hurricane were to hit now, they would not be eligible for FEMA support right now. Motion to receive, and approve. d. WIR Report No WIR report. e.
