What's Being Discussed

Review of an officer's conduct: The main topic is a review of the behavior or actions of one of the Council's officers. Because this involves personal privacy, the committee may close the meeting to the public for that portion of the discussion.
Public comment opportunity: Before the closed discussion, members of the public will have a chance to share their thoughts on this agenda item.
Report of any action taken: After returning to open session, the committee will announce any decisions or recommendations made during the closed meeting.

Decisions Expected

A formal vote will be held to decide whether to enter a closed (executive) session under Hawaii state law (HRS §§ 92-4 and 92-5(a)(2)).
Any recommendations resulting from the closed session will be referred to the full Council and, if appropriate, to the authority responsible for officer appointments.

Who Should Pay Attention
