KĀʻANAPALI — County Councilmember Nohe Uʻu-Hodgins reminds the community that the Government Relations, Ethics and Transparency Committee will meet in the Honoapi’ilani Ballroom at The Westin Maui Resort and Spa in Kāʻanapali on Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 9 a.m. to receive testimony on a resolution to develop a comprehensive recovery and resiliency plan in response to the August wildfires.

Uʻu-Hodgins said the purpose of Resolution 23-194 is to develop and facilitate a plan through a series of complementary ordinances and resolutions, with guidance from the community and experts in their respective fields. No legislative action will be taken at the meeting.
