Paltin said she originally intended to hear the application at an evening meeting in Kīhei, but meeting plans were revised in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I appreciate the community’s adaptability as the council continues to overcome the challenges presented by this pandemic,” Paltin said. “Based on the success of the county’s budget session and other meetings of the council, it seems that BlueJeans can maintain transparency and public participation throughout this process as well.”
