\"Summit<\/p>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Board of Regents (BOR<\/abbr>) approved the appointment of a Maunakea Planning Task Group to review and investigate proposed changes to the Maunakea Master Plan and Comprehensive Management Plan for UH<\/abbr>-managed lands on Maunakea. The memorandum that created the group, which will consist of five regents, and its responsibilities was approved unanimously at the board\u02bbs October 15 meeting.<\/p>\n

The Maunakea Planning Task Group is also charged with following up on the requested actions in the BOR<\/abbr> resolution from November 2019<\/a> that directed UH<\/abbr> leadership to strengthen its stewardship on Maunakea and identify other critical issues. The group will make recommendations to the board.<\/p>\n

The Sunshine Law governing open public meetings allows a board to appoint a group consisting of less than a quorum of its members to investigate matters for the board. The appointment of the group and designation of its assigned task must be done at a public board meeting. After the group undertakes its assigned task, its findings and recommendations must be presented to the board at a public meeting, and the board cannot act on any recommendations until a subsequent public meeting.<\/p>\n

The approved October 9, 2020 memorandum to the UH<\/abbr> Board of Regents from Chair Benjamin Kudo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This is a request that you approve the appointment of a permitted interaction group to be known as the Maunakea Planning Task Group (Task Group), whose scope is to: review and investigate proposed changes to the Maunakea Master Plan and Comprehensive Management Plan (collectively, “Plans”); follow up on the requested actions in Board of Regents (Board) Resolution 19-03 and identify other critical issues pertaining to the Plans; and make findings and recommendations to the Board.<\/p>\n

Proposed Task Group members are: Regent Ben Kudo, Board Chair; Regent Alapaki Nahale-a<\/strong>, Board Vice Chair, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island Regent, and Regent-member of the Maunakea Management Board (MKMB<\/abbr>); Regent Eugene Bal III<\/abbr><\/strong>, Maui Island Regent; Regent Wayne Higaki<\/strong>, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island Regent and Regent-member of MKMB<\/abbr>; and Regent Ernest Wilson<\/strong>, Maui Island Regent. The Task Group may engage with University Administration, government officials, and outside advisors as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
