Council confirms nominations, consults counsel in closed session and approves recommendation

During routine business the Hawaii County Council approved nominations and took a confidential legal referral. The minutes were approved and the council voted to confirm Shauna Kalukukui to the Cultural Resources Commission and Jonathan Zeichner to the Hamakua Community Development Plan Action Committee; both confirmations passed by voice vote with nine ayes.

Later, the council entered executive session under the attorney–client provision to consult with corporation counsel about legal proceedings identified in communication 9-57 (the matter named in the record). After returning to open session, the council accepted the recommendation provided by corporation counsel and closed the file; both actions carried with unanimous support. The meeting concluded with community announcements and adjournment at 12:00 noon.
