Lānaʻi Planning Commission re‑elects Chair Reynold Gima, names Erin Atacador vice chair
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Lānaʻi Planning Commission unanimously re‑elected Reynold Gima as chair for another year and elected Erin Atacador as vice chair. The Commission recorded votes and confirmed acceptance by the officers.
The Lānaʻi Planning Commission unanimously re‑elected Commissioner Reynold Gima as chair and chose Commissioner Erin Atacador as vice chair for the 2026–2027 term. The actions were taken during the May 20 regular meeting held online with local courtesy sites; each nomination received a recorded second and a roll‑call affirmation by the attending commissioners.
Commissioner Michelle Fujie‑Kaauamo moved to nominate Erin Atacador for vice chair and Commissioner Sandi Rabaca seconded; the motion carried with six assenting votes and one excused member. "Thank you. Yes, I accept," Atacador said after the vote. Later, with no other nominees for chair, Commissioner Atacador moved to nominate Chair Gima to continue; that motion was seconded and the Commission again voted unanimously to reappoint him.
Why it matters: the Commission’s leadership sets meeting priorities and helps coordinate with Planning Department staff. The newly confirmed chair and vice chair will preside over Commission business through the coming year, including rule updates and any permit reviews scheduled on Lānaʻi’s agenda.
