consider CDP revisions based on public comment on the Draft Hamakua CDP. Each meeting will
focus on specific topics, and the goal is to conclude each meeting with preliminary decisions
about CDP revisions. The preliminary decisions from each meeting will be considered together
at a final meeting, which will conclude with the Steering Committee recommending a revised
version of the Hamakua CDP for approval. It is anticipated that this could be the last meeting
during which preliminary decisions will be made and that the following meeting will be the final
Steering Committee meeting.
