APPROVAL OF AGENDA President Crivello requested approval to amend the agenda by moving item J. under New Business to item A. under Old Business, and renumbering VI. A. as VL B. Vice President Kanuha moved for approval of the Agenda as amended, seconded by Secretary Rapozo, and unanimously carried. There being no objections, item V. A. was taken out of order, to conduct a conference call with Linda Langston, Director of Strategic Relations, National Association of Counties, relating to updates on NACo's Prescription Drug Program. (Ms. Langston was noted present via telephone conference at 10:33 a.m.) Ms. Langston reported that all of Hawai`i's counties are signed up to participate in NACo's Prescription Drug Card Program (Rx program). The vendor of the program is CVS Caremark, and the contract with CVS will be extended through 2020. Even in the changing landscape with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), NACo's Rx program is still a great opportunity for people who do not have insurance to be able to get a good discount on their prescription drugs. The RX program card is used primarily for uninsured residents, for prescription drugs not covered under a resident's plan or by Medicare Part D, for prescription drugs that require a very high deductible, as well as for prescriptions for pets. Ms. Langston stated that generally, 9 out of 10 pharmacies accept this card, and NACo continues to build its relationship with the pharmacies on this program. Generally, the average savings realized by a participant is between 24% to 50% on a prescription, whether generic or brand name. Another value beyond the Rx program is that residents have the opportunity to sign up for dental care and medical services care, which are not covered by ACA. There is a nominal cost to participate in these programs, depending on whether it is for an individual or for a family. The family plan costs $69 per year, compared with the cost of just one dental visit. Ms. Langston stated that one-third of Americans lack dental and vision coverage, so this is a great way to get some discounted services that does not tie someone to a regular insurance program. Vision care, hearing aids, diagnostic imaging,• and diabetic supplies are covered under the medical services care plan. There are no annual limits, no claims to file, no waiting period; there is no "open enrollment period," and plan flexibility allows people to move in and out of the program as necessary, with monthly or annual payments. Ms. Langston explained the CVS/Caremark marketing fee which allows a county to recoup a dollar per prescription if CVS/Caremark is the lowest available price, which happens in a number of circumstances. Some counties are concerned that residents might perceive participating in this_marketing as a bad thing and have declined to participate, and the money just goes back to CVS/Caremark. Ms. Langston noted that her county chose to pay the marketing fee, and they chose to direct any moneys coming in from that program to be used for veterans homeless services. Ms. Langston stated that NACo's TV and radio ads will be provided for the counties to utilize. " _` I 3 April 24, 2017 ;.4 ' y, ,•ern President Crivello noted that she resides on a very rural island where pharmacies are operated in the old mom-and-pop store fashion, and how would someone know if they accept the Rx program card. Ms. Langston stated that generally, most pharmacies accept the card. She said that pharmacies can participate in this network by going through and completing certain steps via the internet. NACo has found that although many pharmacies offer other discount programs, such as for veterans or for senior citizens, that oftentimes those persons benefit from NACo's Rx program regardless of other available offers. Additional information and resources are available on NACo's website at www.nacohealth.org. Secretary Rapozo requested information regarding the dental program. Ms. Langston stated that the dental program would cover cleaning and other typical dental services, and that if major dental work is required, the person should work with the dental provider on what discounts are available. NACo has found that the lack of dental care is oftentimes the root of many medical problems. President Crivello thanked Ms. Langston for her time and the information provided. There being no objections, the updates regarding legislative lobbying were taken up next. Michael P. Victorino, HSAC Lobbyist, submitted a "March 2017 Legislative Report," update, a copy of which is attached hereto. Mr. Victorino stated that at the end of March, he was very optimistic that measures supported by HSAC were moving along steadily. Came April, all hell broke loose and efforts have gone south fast. Mr. Victorino was unsure what happened, but positive statements hinged on the outcome of other matters. Mr. Victorino stated that "it is a mess" right now. Mr. Victorino reviewed the measures included in the HSAC Legislative Package. The only measure alive is the public records bill, HB 308. Regarding the Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) bill, Mr. Victorino stated that the House Tourism Committee recommended the counties' allocation at $93 million. The hope is that the allocation is increased to $108 million, but the feedback is that it will not happen, especially due to the recent Hawai`i State Teachers Association negotiated salary increases, and the forthcoming Hawai`i Government Employees Association agreement. Mr. Victorino added that no funding mechanism bills are alive as well. SB 478, Relating to Government Records, which is a Maui County Council package item, is scheduled for conference committee. Kit Zulueta, Maui County staff, reported that the measure limits the kinds of records to be distributed among the Councilmembers. Maui County's concern is that amendments to SB 478 would prohibit documents created by an officer or employee of the county council, which includes legislation. Maui County is in agreement with other provisions in SB 478. • 4 S pS7: April 24, 2017 =� sA0-t). ;G g Scott Ishikawa, Becker Communications, Inc., thanked everyone for their teamwork during the April 12, 2017 press conference regarding the tort liability bill, which was a big success. Members did a great job from a media standpoint —it was passionate, but not too aggressive. The quote of the day and picked up by the media was by Secretary Rapozo: "Who stands to gain the most out of this? What do the counties stand to gain from this? What does the public stand to gain from this?" Following the press conference, Star Advertiser printed an editorial, as well as Civil Beat published their editorial. Mr. Ishikawa noted that a Letter to the Editor (from Bruce Black) was printed in today's issue of the Star Advertiser after reading the editorial regarding lifeguards' liability protections lapsing. The tort liability matter is now on the media's radar, and they will continue to track its movement. The TAT (transient accommodations tax) matter is in conference committee today, but is competing for media presence with Vice President Mike Pence's visit on Oahu. Hawai`i Civil Beat and Hawaii Public Radio may send representatives to the State Capitol for comments regarding the TAT. In discussions with HSAC Lobbyist Victorino, it was noted that Kevin Dayton, political reporter for the Star Advertiser, was informed by persons "behind the scenes" that the TAT matter would not be decided at today's conference meeting because legislators are awaiting numbers from HGEA to figure out the State budget. Mr. Ishikawa stated disappointment that legislators did not schedule any hearing on the ambulance bill. TAT and tort liability are important issues, but for senior citizens, a new ambulance would have greater impact. He suggested that the end of session recap, or op-ed, be about any successes and HSAC's wish list, which includes the ambulance measure. Mr. Ishikawa added that HSAC should consider working closely with AARP and other senior organizations on these types of legislation. President Crivello and Secretary Rapozo stated frustration that Union leaders are not showing support on legislation affecting their members, because of fear that the Legislature will not fund their negotiated pay increases. The public needs to be educated on issues and know that the counties are working hard to secure necessary funding, but the counties are not getting what is deserved. Treasurer Anderson made note that HSAC's legislative package bills were introduced by request by the Senate President and Speaker. Two similar bills, one of which was the beach liability, were introduced by Senator Kalani English without the "by request" label, and the bills are still moving along. Treasurer Anderson expressed appreciation for Senator English's courage for introducing these bills, and requested that other members also express their appreciation to Senator English. III. MINUTES A. Minutes of the March 17, 2017, HSAC Executive Committee meeting, as submitted by the HSAC Secretary.

IV. REPORTS A. Treasurer's Report 1. Treasurer's Reports for February and March 2017, as submitted by the HSAC Treasurer. Secretary Rapozo moved to approve the HSAC Treasurer's Report for the Months of February and March 2017, seconded by Vice President Kanuha, and unanimously carried. B. County Reports 1. City and County of Honolulu Report. Treasurer Anderson reported on Honolulu City Council's activities (see attached memorandum dated April 24, 2017). 2. County of Hawaii Report. Vice President Kanuha reported that the Hawai`i County Council completed budget reviews, the mayor's supplemental budget is due on May 5, and depending on the Legislature's decision on several issues, the Council may be faced with raising taxes. The Mayor, because of pressure by the Council, rescinded his cancellation of the composting contract and is currently renegotiating the contract terms. The Council has also been actively lobbying the Legislature on measures affecting Hawai`i County. 3. County of Kaua`i Report. Secretary Rapozo reported that Kauai is also done with budget reviews and awaiting the mayor's May 8 supplemental budget. There is a proposed 19 cents across-the-board real property tax increase, but similar to neighbor island counties, decisions by the Legislature will affect the final budget. Regarding the upcoming Annual Conference on Kauai, Secretary Rapozo reported that a Legislative Panel is scheduled, but there have been no response to fill the panel speakers. He requested recommendations to replace this panel, if necessary. NACo President Brian Desloge has confirmed attendance at the annual conference. JoAnn A. Yukimura, Kaua`i County Councilmember, talked about the importance of providing opportunity during the HSAC annual conferences to discuss and exchange ideas for the HSAC Legislative Package when all counties are present to provide information I0 gyp, �, t • April 24, 20171 $.., '; Op UHC%g regarding their county proposals. Councilmember Yukimura expressed appreciation for the response she received to her questions regarding the proposed HSAC fiscal year budget, and requested that the response be distributed to each County Council for their information. President Crivello noted a request that Kaua`i County consider including a session to discuss real property tax and the constitutional convention, which was last held in the 1970s, during the upcoming HSAC Annual Conference in June. Secretary Rapozo recalled a discussion with Maui Councilmember Riki Hokama regarding this matter, and asking for his assistance to formulate this panel. Secretary Rapozo stated that this real property tax panel could fill in if the Legislative Panel is canceled. 4. County of Maui Report. President Crivello reported that similar to other counties, Maui is also considering its annual budget. Mayor Arakawa has made the news again, because of his request to close the only municipal golf course on the island. Maui is also dealing with the recent Rat Lungworm scare, and President Crivello noted that some businesses have experienced a 50% drop in sales. The State Director of the State Department of Agriculture mentioned that the San Francisco couple contracted the Rat Lungworm virus after drinking a kale smoothie purchased along the roadside, and apparently, the organic farmer making the kale smoothie did not clean the ingredients adequately. The Wailuku Post Office audit was finally released, there are matters regarding biofuel, sunflower fields, and a drought in upcountry Maui. Vice President Kanuha noted that the Rat Lungworm virus has been present on the Big Island for years now, and the County has been trying to work with the Legislature to address the problem. Now that it is present on Maui, Rat Lungworm has made the news and is causing a scare statewide. Vice President Kanuha stated that his aunt actually died from rat lungworm virus, and the autopsy indicated that it was the cause of her death. Mr. Victorino mentioned that the Democratic Party Chairs on the Big Island and Maui are anti-GMO leaders, apparently because no other candidates came forth. There being no objections, the foregoing County Reports were received for the record. - �f �E _° 1 7 fop *.:� April 24, 2017 ; i F� C.

Secretary Rapozo confirmed the nominations for fiscal year 2018. Discussion ensued regarding Hawai`i receiving a Presidential Appointment to NACo for fiscal year 2018, to continue Hawai`i's representation which is currently being served by Vice President Kanuha. Secretary Rapozo requested consideration that HSAC support putting his name forward for a Presidential Appointment for fiscal year 2018. Vice President Kanuha concurred with the request, because he did not feel it appropriate to serve in both positions simultaneously as a WIR director and a NACo Presidential Appointee. Vice President Kanuha noted that hopefully Maui Councilmember Riki Hokama can assist by starting the discussion with current First Vice President Roy a April 24, 2017 sAEr, Brooks.

President Crivello noted that the Executive Committee has approved an amendment to the Bylaws, which will be presented to the General Membership for concurrence on June 19, 2017. This amendment removes the officers' rotation schedule. President Crivello requested discussion regarding the fiscal year 2018 slate of officers that will be presented to the General Membership for approval on June 19, 2017. Vice President Kanuha was amenable to a nominating process that considered each county's ability to serve. Treasurer Anderson stated a willingness to continue serving as Treasurer, or as Secretary if necessary. President Crivello agreed to serve as Secretary, and asked whether Vice President Kanuha will have sufficient staff assistance to serve as President. Vice President Kanuha believed that Hawai`i County Chair Poindexter would approve a budget for staff for the purpose of serving as HSAC President. President: Dru Kanuha (Hawai`i County) Vice President: Derek S.K. Kawakami (Kaua`i County) Secretary: Stacy Crivello (Maui County) Treasurer: Ikaika Anderson (City & County of Honolulu) There being no objections, the foregoing slate of officers was approved and will be presented to the General Membership for approval at the Annual Conference on June 19, 2017.

At 4:00 pm., I met with Speaker Souki and we had a conversation on the relevance of SB 1290 and HB 1471 relating to the Transient Accommodation Tax. He indicated that the House would kill HB 1586, but would support SB 1290. Many of these fiscal bills were in limbo awaiting the March 13, 2017 report from the Council on Revenues report.
