The council on Dec. 4 adopted Resolution 15-155, establishing an 11-member special committee to review the county manager form of governance for the County of Maui, and if warranted, make recommendations to the council on how the form should be structured.

Duties:
The Special Committee on County Governance is established to:

  • Consider whether establishing a county manager form of government for the County of Maui would improve management and operation of County government;
  • Make written recommendations to the Council on whether the Charter should be amended to establish a county manager form of government and, if so, how the form should be structured; and
  • If a county manager form of government is the Special Committee’s recommendation, prepare a proposed Charter amendment.
