commission you know he worked for the county and the fire department and also in the state so here's a good background i think he'll be a big contributor and mr phillips live in order for a long time and also i believe she will be a big big asset to the so i highly recommend those two people as far as their appointments and the other discussion see on i'd like to make my recommendation a condition which will bring rachel phillips and allen says to the port of ethics for a term beginning on april first two thousand and sixteen and expiring on march thirty first two thousand and twenty one do you

currently i had the opportunity to work with you at on the cameron center board and she's just i mean everything i think she'd be a real asset and i understand in our concern about people having too much to do but i think she's the kind of person that if that made this a long long time ago and i'm very happy to see that it is improved a lot but it's we still have cases in here that slipped through you know we are required by law did the bare majority of members of a border commission belong to the same political party and i have insisted that we fill in that line on these applications

transmitting a proposed resolution entitled appointment of a member to night planning commission for the county of maui along with a completed application for the nominee the purpose of the proposed those areas that i would have liked her to be able to have made some comments or commitments regarding candids my understanding is crime has been an meetings you know as i spoke to her this morning because she did call and she assured me that she could attend the meetings but it just could not be we arranged for today especially coming any further questions mr gulch thank you must share i spoke with the planning department yesterday and there it was their impression that she was going to be available during the day for  meetings but maybe i misunderstood miss mclean well again we did you know she will be available for the meeting hundred sixty cannot but this one could not get it ok this one could not planning commission for term beginning on april first two thousand and sixteen and ending on march thirty first two thousand and twenty one mr grant adding her name to ex mayor of transmitting a proposed resolution entitled appointment of members to the liquor control commission for the county of maui along with completed site along with completed applications for the nominees the purpose of the proposed just solution is to prove or disapprove the mayor's nominations of trendily and allude to the liquor control commission for terms beginning on april first and expiring on march thirty first the department water supply and she's active with the board of realtors and she has the time to serve on the board for the liquor commission and commission i wanted to speak with them so i've been trying to get in touch with them on the phone but i'd still would like to see and hear so and if if we can't get them here i i can't until we say speak with them in public thank you person as well process and you cannot circumvent the process so i'm confident that well not me and you can watch and you will be good additions to the commission so any other questions for  service especially in what i would call for me a troubling times for this department and i looking forward to this new commissioners to help create a new culture mentality down there i'm not happy with the department's performance and again either forward to the improvements or new commissioners that we can get what we need to get out of that the part e and i have no problem i probably would with either one of them but i would certainly like them here to hear our concerns and it's really difficult for them to do that if it's just in a letter or whatnot and to to have some back and forth so again for that reason i was unable to support this that there's a coach would you put your concerns in the public record right now right now so they can see it and the public can hear your concern was not our concern just what the council we've had some issues as mr holcombe has said with that department and the way the board was going you know i know i understand you may have talked to the board and they all said yeah we've learned our lessons but it took them two times they did it twice and so i just want to make sure that we have some people that they can make it to every meeting or as many meetings as possible and understand how important this is because council has no say other than this but right this time as to any of the liquor control its state or the liquor commission and councils left out of the loop so this is our time this is our time to kind of impress upon them what our chair that is that is part of my concerns is you know miss bice's been trying to get some funding from their fees to go to what we consider education as opposed to what they consider so those those are some of the concerns that i would like to discuss with them thank you mr and again that's good because you brought it up so they can hear it and the rest of the community can hear we've discussed this for many years this is not something new and i believe we're moving in this in a positive direction because molina who's here when we're discussing these boards and commission things but i'm wondering is there there probably is a structured training for new commission members so that they're made a million year with and responsibilities things like you know things that they need to get attention to and i happen to have attended both of the meetings where this concern that we have happened and i that that we are very concerned especially for d s wards of commission which have adjudication as well as funding and money are fees issues that we handle but we'd like them all to have at least a good orientation an discussion scene i would like to make my recommendation recommendation please misreading break his thank you chair if there is no further discussion the chair will entertain a motion to approve the nominations of louis to the liquor control commission for a term the kid april first two thousand and sixteen and in march thirty first two thousand and twenty one and adding their names to  board for the county of mally along with completed applications for

would like to speak in support of trevor's nomination he's any interesting young man he's he's more involved of course with a credit union kind of banker type but i got to know him very well when he was on the  a really good member very loyal showed up to other meetings and tried very very hard to be you know a good contributor to what was going on and i think it would be very good to have somebody like came with that background on the those that have had the experience to get them out of them and this is love for his community and i can say one thing that i appreciate about created unions if you notice their basic mission is their their created unions to continue to expose the benefits of community helping one another and i think that is something that would be a part component is exactly what this county had always intended it to be part of the community so financial system they're not a bank they're members on your membership and not board of directors and all like big big banks would be so proud to support not only what he does but other created unions but more important could cultural park committee for a term that getting april first twenty sixteen and expiring agency along with a completed application for the nominee the purpose of the proposed resolution is to approve or disapprove the mayor's nomination of ashley lindsay to the maui redevelopment agency

news before that she is a twenty fourteen fellow which tells me that she has enough background dark how much do you know but this marlin land company run corporation that's basically a florida entity and its role in this does anyone else ever consider i mean i know this young lady i know what she stands for i'm not sure about the company i'm not done i'm not with them charge and i speak about what they do but tires or what have you so i guess there's our question is not so much about the character of the person herself but just the affiliation in the business aspect of it i have in why they're in the redevelopment agency area and also business owners so i think that's part of the the reason for having the redevelopment  your chair will entertain a motion to approve the nomination of ashley lindsay to the mallee development agency for a term expires beginning april first two thousand and sixteen and expiring march thirty first tw for the county of maui along with the completed application for the nominee the purpose of the proposed resolution is to approve or disapprove the mayor's nomination of harry hecht to the urban design review board pr thank you anything you'd like to ask of beyond the fact that i just mr walker the question big to be as can this gentleman servant to boards yes thank you chair if there is no further discussion your chair will entertain a motion to approve the nomination of harry hecht to the urban design review board per term expiring march thirty first twenty nineteen and  just maybe your for malady but on both of his application is there's no signature on them so i mean i assume he submitted this and that yes he's going to be a part of this and we didn't just pick up  coach thank you mr chair and i'm i'm speaking in support of this nomination provided that we get the signature on both actually before the before comes to council if we don't get the signatures i don't affiliation your team is there a certain amount i guess that you're looking for within these boards and commissions have you know three three three or is there a  n formula that you're looking for in the political affiliation demographic i guess of them have blanks nun's which i guess that's acceptable to say not and not and any so how do we balance seen this from a kitchen actually says that you have to see if you are registered card carrying member of a political party if not indicate none or independent so it should be done with something that brings up the subject of whether these board the current boards and commissions are in compliance because as we consider these nominations each time that comes around  i don't recall us emira view in the make up of the existing border commission so if we're required to have a balance on each of these boards it would appear to me the administration should be coming back to us not only with the complete application forms but also a review of the current makeup of the of the board from a political administration requesting a breakdown of the entire boards and commissions commissioners who are presently serving and to get a political affiliation of each one go present me with up to date status of all boys in in commissions including political affiliations whether it was independent or as well as reference to the state statute or the county co on what gave the authorization for such a committee or commission and which member if by law is created to feel a specific discipline that was always presented annually to the committee and i don't know why we don't party affiliation the district the expiration date the date of council meetings and what the c r and resume numbers are references charter sections and c c sections
