Committee Reports

Nominating Committee: The proposed slate of officers is: President-Elliott Krash, Vice president-Verna Nahulu, Secretary-Gina Flammer, and Treasurer-John Wilson.  Suggestions were made of individuals who may be interested in serving on the Board and several Board Members volunteered to contact them.

Bylaws:  John Wilson moved and Verna Nahulu seconded that we accept the changes as submitted by the committee.  The motion carried.  Other minor changes were discussed and two were approved: V.4 specifying that a quorum requires members in good standing and VI.2. clarifying that Directors must be members of the Association.

T-shirts:  The T-shirt screen has been printed.  Mitch Silver showed the Board a copy of the silk screen.  Verna Nahulu suggested having two options: one with the design on the front which women may prefer and one with the design on the back with Kula, Maui on the front in small letters which men may prefer.  Alan Kaufman and Mitch Silver were authorized to check into the cost of this and order them if reasonable.   A motion was made by Alan Kaufman and seconded by John McDonald to print 100 shirts.  The motion carried. 

Newsletter:  In our next newsletter the street address project will be discussed.  Dick Mayer suggested having the fire station chief and the police chief and perhaps an ambulance representative contribute explaintions on the safety concerns and need for the project.  KCA's role is to help promote understanding of the need for the changes and encourage citizen cooperation.  Karolyn Mossman suggested the newsletter should also include highlights of KCA accomplishments, such as the forums, as a way to demonstrate how dues and T-shirt revenues are spent. Steve Sutrov will write an recognizing Officer Ernie Soares and expressing support for the Community Policing Program.  Also included will be the membership form, information about the new tees, the web site address, the list of board members and officers, and an announcement of the February General Meeting.  Mitch Silver asked that these and any other suggestions be submitted to him in writing.

AKAKU Contribution: Postponed pending receipt of statement on costs of forum tapings.

 

New Business

November 16th General Meeting: The topic will be planning issues for the upcountry area with a panel of relevant speakers and the four upcountry associations presenting.  The program will be cosponsored by MAUCA and KCA.  Mitch Silver suggested inviting local large land tract owners and Hawaiian Homelands residents to the meeting.  Steve Sutrov suggested the Board meet with the new legislators.  Dick Mayer suggested that we form a development committee similar to the Kihei Development committee.  Dick and Elliott will draft an agenda for the meeting.  Charmaine Tavares, Barbara Long, John Min, and John Rapacz have agreed to speak.
