Board discusses hearing procedures, minutes timetable and Molokaʻi membership requirement
Summary
Board members reviewed contested hearing procedures, hearing officer assignments, the availability and timing of written minutes and transcripts, quorum concerns, and membership outreach; Planning Program Administrator Carolyn Cortez reminded the board that "there is a requirement for a Molokaʻi member for the Board."
During a discussion of board powers, duties and procedures, members outlined several administrative priorities including contested hearing procedures, assignments for hearing officers, and the status and anticipated timetable for written minutes and substantially full transcripts for portions relevant to Decisions & Orders. Chair David Weiss asked members to notify the secretary in advance about planned absences so scheduling and quorum can be managed.
Planning Program Administrator Carolyn Cortez told members that "there is a requirement for a Molokaʻi member for the Board," a statutory or programmatic membership requirement noted in the record. The board also noted that two members are expected to term out at the end of March and were asked to encourage community recruitment and applications. The board recorded the next meeting date in the minutes as FEBRUARY 12, 2026 (as written in the record). No formal rule changes or binding orders were adopted during this discussion.
