Aloha mai, e Faith-

I'm starting to draft a letter from the 01I3C to transmit to FTA. Who is the appropriate contact at FTA that I should address my letter to and accordingly, is there a specific contact at ACHP? Any help in providing this information is greatly appreciated.

Mahalo nui, Kawika

Aloha no e Faith,

That would be great. A little more opportunity for discussion beyond the time available at the ()IBC mtg would be helpful. And I think we were set to meet as a task force at 9:00 tomorrow. Coochie's confirmed the availability of the DLNR Boardroom for that time.

Please let me know if I should send out a reminder to the task force to meet at 9:00 tomorrow.

Hi Kehau —

In light of the recent developments, should we have a task force meeting tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.? I plan to attend the full 01BC meeting at 10:00 a.m. to speak briefly about the MOA/PA process, but wanted to know if you would like me to talk to the task force before the meeting. Please let me know.

Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf.

Faith

Hi Kawika and Kehau —

We had intended to include copies of the draft MOA in the 01BC meeting packets that were mailed today. However, after meeting with a representative of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation today, it was determined that we need to rethink the development/consultation process for the MOA and so it would be premature to distribute copies of the MOA. We should be able to discuss the MOA development/consultation process at Wednesday's meeting. Thanks for all your work on this matter. See you on Wednesday.

Aloha kakou-

I've included Kaleo Paik on my response as she is the primary SHPD person that helps us put together the agenda.

I would suggest that we highlight in the agenda title as "Informational Update and Presentation of Draft Memorandum of Agreement..."- this addresses two concerns: a) it notifies the public that there is a key benchmark item being discussed on the agenda; b) it clears the legal path for discussing and making recommendations on a specific item. In times past, vagueness or generalities in the agenda title pre-empted this Council from taking specific action even with the "recommendation" designation in the subheading of action.

I would recommend both means of distribution, if that's not too much to ask. The distribution of the e-file will get us the document sooner to begin our individual review. However, some of our council don't necessarily check their emails on a frequent basis so hardcopies in our packet would be good. Please contact Kaleo at the Division and ask to coordinate the submittal of information in Council packets. I think they don't usually get mailed until end of day Thursday or Friday morning.

As Jace's term ends this month, there will be an election of new leadership at next week's meeting for both the Chair and Vice-Chair position. The new Chair would be the assigned signatory to the MOA.

Aloha mai kakou,

Please see the response below. Thought it might be clearer to respond that way.

Hi Kehau —

We are able to share the full draft MOA for °IBC review and comment at next week's meeting. What we would be looking for would be the Council's comments on the document. Recognizing that the draft MOA is also being looked at by other agencies and organizations, it would not be in final form.

Our project is usually on the agenda as Informational Update. Should DTS formally request °IBC review and comment on the MOA? Since the agenda item includes "information/discussion/recommendation," I'm guessing that such a request is probably not necessary. Please note that I'm cc-ing our vice-chair, Kawika McKeague, who will be running the meeting and setting the agenda. He'd have a much better idea as to whether a formal request regarding the MOA is necessary and whether such a specific matter needs to be included in the agenda. If so, DTS would need to transmit the request by tomorrow. Would it be possible for us to just provide the °IBC with copies of the MOA for Kaleo Paik to send out in the informational packets, in order

for the °IBC to be prepared to discuss on June 10 th? Or would it be better for us to send to you electronically as the task force chair and you transmit to Kaleo? Not sure about the timing here. Perhaps you might want to contact Kaleo to find out whether there's still time to get something into this month's packet. If so, that would prorbably be better than having me send something to the °IBC members via email. If it turns out that there isn't enough time, I'd be happy to send it out via email. Our work through the task force has been pretty informal. I envision that a formal °IBC action would be required at a future meeting for the °IBC chair to sign the MOA.

Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
