The proclamation partially suspends the Sunshine Law, and meetings can be conducted without Councilmembers or members of the public being physically present in the same location. Nothing said today or included in the agenda is intended to create obligations in excess of those required under the Sunshine Law and the emergency proclamation. If BlueJeans connectivity affecting quorum is lost, the Committee will be in recess. It will not be considered a loss of quorum unless connectivity cannot be restored within 30 minutes. If BlueJeans connectivity is prematurely terminated for whatever reason, please log back into the meeting using the same link. If Akaku is terminated for whatever reason, or prematurely ceases broadcasting the meeting to Channel 53, Akaku will try its best to restore broadcasting. But if it is unable to do so in a reasonable amount of time, the Committee will continue its meeting, record it on BlueJeans, and after the meeting, forward the recording to Akaku to be included with archived meeting videos. If connectivity affecting quorum cannot be restored within 30 minutes, the meeting will automatically reconvene the following Tuesday at 9 a.m., using the same virtual connections, unless the Committee announces a different date and time.

Ano ang Ginagawa ng Komite na Ito
Sinusuri ng Governance, Ethics, and Transparency Committee ang mga charter amendment, mga rebisyon sa ethics code, mga patakaran sa campaign finance, lehislasyon ng open government, at mga panukala upang baguhin kung paano nakaayos o pinapanagot ang gobyerno ng Maui County. Pinangangasiwaan din nito ang pagsunod ng county sa Sunshine Law ng Hawaii at mga kinakailangan sa public records.
Bakit Dapat Kang Mag-alala
Ang malakas na mga patakaran sa governance ay nagpoprotekta sa kakayahan ng mga residente na malaman kung ano ang ginagawa ng kanilang gobyerno at panagutin ito. Ang komite na ito ang forum para sa mga panukala ng pagpapabuti sa access sa pampublikong pulong, pagsisiwalat ng mga rekord, mga patakaran sa conflict-of-interest, at mga structural reform na kailangan upang gawing mas tumutugon ang gobyerno ng county.
