Managing Director Josiah Nishita closed GuideHouse's presentation by noting coordination with the auditor's office and the need to keep oversight bodies informed: "We are aware and have been in communication with the auditor's office regarding the item on their audit plan," he said, and added the project team will continue to collaborate to avoid conflicts.

Committee members asked whether GuideHouse had met with the Civil Service Commission; GuideHouse said the commission is on the interview schedule in the next couple of weeks. Staff also clarified the contract term: "It's a 2 year contract with the option to extend for 3 additional 1 year terms," a county staffer said, and GuideHouse outlined a timeline that sequences discovery, recommendations (about 11 months), and a second year for implementation and training.

After public testimony and an extended Q&A, Chair Keani Rollins Fernandez asked for objections to deferring the item. Seeing none, she deferred the presentation for future updates and adjourned the meeting at 3:30 p.m.
