As always, we welcome and appreciate input and <br />ideas from the various AC's and particularly regarding collaboration with the other AC's. <br />We can also see the benefits of convening a multi AC meeting to discuss specific strategies for <br />cross regional policy or project implementation. However, this type of multi AC collaboration <br />would need to be organized and initiated by the department rather than the AC's themselves_ <br />We would also need to provide direction to the AC's and then plan the meeting to stay within the <br />parameters of the County Code and the Sunshine Law. <br />A structure for engaging each AC to provide comments related to their respective CDP's on the <br />General Plan Update are being made within the department and we will be communicating it to <br />the AC's within the first quarter of the upcoming year. Perhaps that may be the opportunity to <br />further explore implementation of your recommended proposal. <br />Thank you all for your continued service as we move forward into another phase of long range <br />planning for our county. <br />Sincerely, <br />l <br />ANE UHA <br />Planning Director <br />cc: Kona CDP AC <br />Kona CDP Project Manager, Terry Dunlap <br />North Kohala CDP AC <br />North Kohala CDP Project Manager, Rosalind Newlon <br />Puna CDP AC <br />Puna CDP Project Manager, Larry Brown <br />South Kohala CDP Project Manager, Deanne Bugado <br />Lylvw colrl?lannin� errs} Hawaii County is an Lqua!
