APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES:

Julie Jirikowic distributed the minutes for the December 12 and January 27 meetings to those who didnUt have them. Approval of the minutes for the December 12 meetings were tabled until the next meeting, and a change in the proposals section of the January 27 minutes recommended.

PROPOSALS

Bob Burke of Oceanit contacted Mr. Madlener and requested a chance to present to the group despite the fact that his proposal was not voted onto the short list. The subcommittee unanimously voted not to allow this presentation, as all of the proposers would need to present. Only the three proposals which received the most votes were invited. It was also decided that the names on the short list would not be revealed.

POSITIONS AND CONTRACTS

Mr. Ho explained how the city ranked potential contractors and it was agreed that, although as a private non-profit KBAC was not held to these standards they must be careful to be fair. Mr. Ho discussed the Ala Wai consent decree contracting process. They pay for work as it is completed per a work plan. KBAC needs to be sure that the contract has a rider that if the job runs too late they will be released.

The subcommittee determined that both given and cold references need to be checked, and former projects investigated. This is especially important with the water quality manager because they will be very independent.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM COORDINATOR JOB DESCRIPTION

At the previous meeting, Member Woolaway expressed concern that the minimum requirements, specifically the requirement "ability to work ... walking up and down steep paths/roads and on sandy beaches" may not be in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. She followed up and it was determined that if the job dictates physical activity then the ability to perform it can be stated as a requirement. An office is not necessarily provided by the board. Benefits are not required for consultants.

PRESENTATIONS

Because there was not a quorum present, a subcommittee was formed to review the presentations. This committee consists of all members present.

The presentations began at 7:45 p.m.

MEETING ADJOURNED

The meeting was adjourned by Chair Madlener at 9:00 p.m.
