Chair schedules Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets to reconvene in Hilo at 8:30 a.m. July 24
Summary
The committee recessed for a technical break and agreed to continue the Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets in Hilo at 8:30 a.m. the next day; the Communications Reports and Council Oversight Committee resumed to hear a guest presentation.
The Chair recessed the Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets and scheduled the meeting to reconvene at 8:30 a.m. on July 24 in Hilo. Chair (Speaker 2) proposed the time after a brief technical interruption and asked colleagues for direction; a committee member (Speaker 3) confirmed that Hilo staff would be ready and the chair said staff and Director Pausi would be notified.
Why it matters: The scheduling decision sets the time and location for the committee to continue its work. The brief exchange also confirmed operational readiness in Hilo, including staff availability, which affects when substantive agenda items will resume.
The committee paused when a staff member needed time to change recording media. Chair (Speaker 2) offered colleagues the option to recess and reconvene at a time certain the next morning, saying, "This meeting is in recess till 08:30 tomorrow, July 24." Committee member (Speaker 3) replied, "Thank you so much for your consideration, chair. We've talked to the staff in Hilo, and they understand 08:30 in the morning." The chair added that a note would be sent to Director Pausi.
Separately, at 4:10 p.m., the Chair of the Communications Reports and Council Oversight Committee (Speaker 1) took that committee out of recess, invited a guest back to finish a presentation and asked speakers to use the microphone so the record could capture the remarks. "I will invite our guest back to the table to finish his presentation," the chair said, and reminded participants to "bring the microphone very close you and speak up so that everybody can hear and we can get it on tape." The committee then continued with the scheduled presentation.
Next steps: The Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets is set to reconvene at 8:30 a.m. in Hilo on July 24 to resume its agenda; staff and Director Pausi were to be notified. The Communications Reports and Council Oversight Committee resumed its presentation at 4:10 p.m.
