Margaret Horwatt Others: Project Manager Allen Salavea; members of the public Patti Cook, Donald Cox, Anne and David Gomes, William Sanborn, Riley Smith, Brian Thomas, Sherman Warner, Margaret Wille; Recorder Judith Graham Handouts: Draft Operating Guidelines with comments; Land Use/Permit Report 7/26/10; Letter 7/14/10 to Ron Terry from BJ Leithead-Todd regarding early consultation on an environmental assessment for an HPA lease of 135 acres of State land. The meeting began at 5:05 pm. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC Margaret Wille understood that the AC was supposed to select an interim member when a vacancy occurred; she recommended Jojo Tanimoto of Kawaihae. When meeting with communities, she said, check their status on the topic of subdivisions. She emphasized the importance of maximizing communication. Regarding the Operating Guidelines, she said subcommittees were not subject to the Sunshine Law and queried whether three minutes of public testimony applied to the whole agenda or individual topics. She felt she should not need to bring 10 copies of materials to submit to the AC; distribution through the website would be better. She has had trouble getting an advance copy of the AC’s agenda. Approval of Minutes Minutes from the meeting of June 28, 2010 had three corrections. Two corrections noted typographical errors and Nancy Alvord’s correction read: “Nancy Alvord: The Hawaii Leeward Planning Conference, of which she was considering become a member, meets monthly….She attended the Mayor’s Talk Story, and although the AC was supposed to be discussed, it was not.”
