Aloha Michelle Melendez,
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the scheduling of the General
Plan review meetings. We understand the importance of ensuring accessibility
for all members of the community.
The meeting schedule was developed based on the availability of the
Planning Commissioners and the venue. To date, there have been seven
opportunities for public input, including two evening meetings specifically
designed to accommodate those who are unavailable during working hours.
Of those seven, four meetings were held in Kona for the Leeward Planning
Commission, and three were held in Hilo for the Windward Planning
Commission.
At this time, we are not planning to add additional meetings beyond those
already scheduled. We appreciate your understanding and continued
participation in the process.
Thank you,
Kelsie Chang

Subject: RE: Add Meeting Time for Working People!
Aloha Planning Commissioners,
You took out a meeting last month and had the only meeting for the General Plan during
working hours. You have repeated that for this month.
I am asking you to be Pono to the working people and add a 2nd meeting time after 5pm
so working people can come.
A huge complaint is that people do not know about these meetings and if they did and
they work, they couldn't come. That is not pono at all to the average person here on Big
Island.
Do what is right and add a 2nd meeting time out of working hours.
Mahalo,
