On March 16, 2020, Governor David Y.Ige issued a Supplementary Emergency Proclamation
related to COVID-19 which suspended Chapter 92 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS),
relating to Public Agency Meetings and Records(also known as the Sunshine Law). Governor
Ige continued the suspension of Chapter 92 with his Sixth Supplementary Emergency
Proclamation dated April 25, 2020. On May 5, 2020, Governor Ige issued his Seventh
Supplementary Emergency Proclamation amending his earlier suspension of Chapter 92.
The suspension of Chapter 92 was subsequently continued through additional
Supplementary Emergency Proclamations, the most recent being his Seventeenth
Supplementary Emergency Proclamation dated December 16, 2020. Chapter 92 of the HRS
was suspended to the extent necessary in order to enable boards to conduct business
in-person or through remote technology without any board members or members of the public
physically present in the same location. Boards shall consider reasonable measures to allow
public participation consistent with social distancing practices, such as providing notice of
meetings, allowing the submission of written testimony on items which have been posted on
an agenda, providing board packets available electronically, live streaming of meetings, and
posting minutes of meetings online. Furthermore, if a board has the staffing, technological,
and other resources to hold a secure video teleconference (video and audio), it must in good
faith,attempt to provide the public with the opportunity to observe the meeting as it happens,
and provide an opportunity to deliver oral testimony. No board deliberation or action shall
be invalid, if such good faith efforts to implement remote technology for public observations
and comments do not work.
The meetings of the Kaua`i County Council will be conducted as follows until further notice:
• Meetings will be noticed pursuant to HRS Chapter 92.
• The meeting will be closed to the public to be consistent with social distancing
practices.
• Councilmembers and/or resource individuals may appear via remote technology.
• The meeting will be live streamed and also available as an archived meeting after
completion, at www.kauai.gov/webcastmeetings. Captions will be provided. Please
note video production services or enhancements will not be available.
• Written testimony may be submitted on any agenda item and is appreciated at least
one (1) hour prior to the meeting. Written testimony may be submitted to
counciltestimony@kauai.gov, sent via facsimile to 241-6349, or mailed to the Office of
the County Clerk, Council Services Division at 4396 Rice Street, Suite 209, Lihu`e,
Hawaii 96766. Any testimony received after this time will be incorporated into the
record as appropriate.
• Oral testimony will be taken at the beginning of the meeting on any agenda item via
the Zoom remote technology platform and it shall be the responsibility of the testifier
to ensure that the Zoom software is downloaded prior to the meeting. Anyone
interested in providing oral testimony shall provide a request to the Office of the
County Clerk, Council Services Division at least one (1) hour prior to the meeting to
cokcouncil@kauai.gov or by calling (808) 241-4188. This request shall include your
name, telephone number, E-mail address, and the specific agenda item(s) that you
will be testifying on. After oral testimony has been taken, members of the public
should continue watching the meeting via the live stream link found at
www.kauai.gov/webcastmeetings.
