KAUA‘I COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING TO BE HELD AT KAUA‘I WAR
MEMORIAL CONVENTION HALL ON OCTOBER 4, 2017
Līhu‘e, Kaua‘i – The Kaua‘i County Council will hold the October 4, 2017 Council
Meeting at the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall (KWMCH), starting at 8:30 a.m.
The reason for the relocation of the Council Meeting is to accommodate the
potentially large turnout from the public due to the public hearing on Bill No. 2666,
relating to the update of the General Plan for the County of Kaua‘i.
It was standing room only at the September 6, 2017 Council Meeting when the Bill
was heard on first reading, with over 40 people testifying before the Council.
“We recognize that it is important for members of the public to be able to make their
voice heard. Moving the Council Meeting to a larger facility will help to ensure that the
public will have adequate space to view the proceedings as well as testify,” said Council
Chair Mel Rapozo.
All interested persons who wish to present their comments may do so at the public
hearing. Written testimony may be submitted to the Office of the County Clerk, Council
Services Division by mail, facsimile, or via E-mail to counciltestimony@kauai.gov. Copies of
the proposed Bill and all other agenda items are available at the Office of the County Clerk,
Council Services Division and posted on the County’s website.
Due to limited resources at KWMCH, members of the public should submit written
testimony in advance or prepare at least 10 copies to be distributed to Councilmembers and
Council Staff at the public hearing.
For those who cannot attend the Council Meeting, the meeting will be available for
archived viewing after the meeting has ended on the County’s website, www.kauai.gov as
well as televised on Ho‘ike Channel 53.
