WAILUKU — The Maui County Council will hold a special council meeting on Thursday, Nov. 9, at 9 a.m. to consider Bill 114 (2023), funding the new Office of Recovery and adding new conditional language for a Lahaina Wildfire Final Disposition site in Olowalu, Council Chair Alice L. Lee announced.

Lee said the council will also meet on Monday, Nov. 20, at 9 a.m. to consider a bill to add Kamehameha Iki Park in Lahaina to the list of historic and cultural sites eligible for preservation and restoration under the Hawaiian Cultural Restoration Revolving Fund.

The Nov. 20 council meeting agenda will also include a proposal to allow composting in the agricultural zoning district.

“The council is again deviating from its normal calendar to ensure timely responses to the August wildfires as we strive for resilience and recovery,” said Lee, who holds the seat for the Wailuku-Waiheʻe-Waikapū residency area. “Councilmembers understand the need for prompt action and are committed to meeting outside of our regularly scheduled meetings to work as efficiently as possible.”

Legislation and other supporting documents are accessible via the meeting agendas at mauicounty.us/agendas.

In-person, online and phone testimony is welcome at all meetings. Testimony instructions are on the meeting agendas.
