NOTE: The December 2, 2016 Steering Committee meeting was cancelled due to dangerous
storm conditions, so this meeting was scheduled as soon thereafter as possible. This meeting is
the fifth in a series of meetings where the Steering Committee will consider CDP revisions based
on public comment on the Draft Hamakua CDP. Each of the four previous meetings focused on
specific topics, and each meeting concluded with preliminary decisions about CDP revisions. The
preliminary decisions made during this series of meetings will be considered in their entirety at
this meeting, which will conclude with the Steering Committee recommending a revised version
of the Hamakua CDP for approval.
