The Governor’s Molokai Community Advisory Council will meet on Tuesday, May 13, 3 p.m., at the Kūlana ‘Ōiwi, DHHL/OHA Conference Room. The public is invited.

Representatives from Maui Electric Company (MECO) will discuss integrated resource planning for Maui County, including Molokai.

The presentation comes as the Lingle-Aiona Administration continues to make progress on the Hawaii Hawai‘i Clean Energy

Initiative, an unprecedented partnership between the State of Hawai‘i and the Dept. of Energy which aims to have 70 percent of Hawai‘i’s energy come from clean, renewable sources by 2030.  

Governor Linda Lingle created community advisory councils to give the neighbor islands a stronger voice in state government.

The Molokai Community Advisory Council holds monthly public meetings to seek community input and advise the Governor of important issues on Molokai. The council also recommends potential nominees for state boards and commissions.

The members of the Governor’s Molokai Community Advisory Council are Robert Granger, Janice Kalanihuia, Jersula Manaba, Marlene Purdy and Weldon Wichman.
