Comm. 46.7: HAWAII STATE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES' OCTOBER 27 AND NOVEMBER 6, 2017, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES From Council Member Dru Mamo Kanuha, dated November 14, 2017. Motion to Close File: Mr. Kanuha moved to close file on Comm. 46.7. Seconded by Mr. Richards. GREDC-13 December 4, 2017 ACTING CHR. EOFF: Mr. Kanuha, would you like to go through the HSAC (Hawai`i State Association of Counties) minutes? MR. KANUHA: Sure, and I was present, just for the committee's knowledge, I was present at the October 27th meeting, which we had on Kauai, and for the November 6th meeting, our Council Chairperson—or wait, Val, was that the one you went to, the November 6th? MS. POINDEXTER: On Maui? MR. KANUHA: Yeah. MS. POINDEXTER: Yeah. MR. KANUHA: Okay. Because I wasn't able to attend the HSAC meeting for November 6 on Maui, our Council Chairperson Poindexter attended in my stead, so maybe she can state a little bit more about the November 6 meeting, if there's any questions about that. But for October 27, it was pretty standard, going through the motions. We're still waiting on all the Councils to get the HSAC package dealt with by their respective Councils, so there wasn't a whole lot of discussion, just kind of updating everybody about what's happening on each island. We also—we're talking about things that were brought during the (inaudible) some of the issues that we were facing with the package going through each Council, so if there's any questions about the October 27th meeting, please let me know. If not, you can read it in the HSAC minutes for October 27. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Okay, thank you. Ms. Poindexter, did you have anything to add? MS. POINDEXTER: No, I think the minutes are clear here and I think there may be some amendments or some corrections to the minutes that I may have to make at the next HSAC meeting, because we don't make the corrections here, right, Council Member Kanuha? The corrections to the minutes are made at the next HSAC meeting. MR. KANUHA: Well, this is the minutes that are out of HSAC, but we can correct them now and then we can let HSAC know, and they could correct them there. MS. POINDEXTER: Okay. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Do you want to point out where the corrections are? Page 2 GREDC-13 December 4, 2017 MR. KANUHA: Because we can put it in our committee reports. MS. POINDEXTER: Okay, because I think under number three, on the County of Kauai reports, and that might have been my mistake, but it wasn't the Ways and Means that both Council Member Chung and Kanuha met with. I think it was Finance, and Council Member Chung had contacted them, he initiated contact. So, I'm going to have to make those corrections to the minutes at the next HSAC meeting in Kona. It's under that section. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Under the Kauai report? MS. POINDEXTER: Yeah, under the Kauai report. ACTING CHR. EOFF: I also see a typo under the Hawaii report on the August, I mean on the September l lth minutes, they spelt Mr. Chung's name C -h -o -n -g, so you might let them know. Then if you can transmit through our committee report those corrections. MS. POINDEXTER: Okay. ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Okay, any other comments about the HSAC minutes, Council Members? Okay, then I'll just note that Ms. O'Hara is currently present as well. Okay, all in favor of filing the HSAC minutes of October 27th and November 6,° 2017, please say "aye."
