WAILUKU, Hawaiʻi (July 3, 2023)—The Maui County Council and its committees will have several meetings this week, but two committee meetings that had been scheduled for Wednesday had to be canceled due to a service outage of the digital platform that hosts the council’s meeting documents, Presiding Officer Pro Tempore Tasha Kama announced today.
A presentation on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands’ housing projects, which had been set for the Housing and Land Use Committee, is planned for 9 a.m. on July 12, said Kama, who chairs the committee. The Disaster, Resilience, International Affairs and Planning Committee intends to reschedule its canceled meeting on the police department’s strategic plan for 1:30 p.m. on July 12, committee Chair Tamara Paltin said.

The Efficiency Solutions and Circular Systems Committee meets Thursday at 9 a.m. on systemic inequality with presentations from several University of Hawai‘i faculty members.
On Thursday at 1:30 p.m., the Agriculture, Diversification, Environment and Public Transportation Committee will continue its discussion, which began June 22, on recommendations for managing and conserving various South Maui lands. Testimony has closed for this meeting.
