Maui Council panel rejects charter amendment to set aside transient accommodations tax for climate fund
The Maui County Council’s ongoing review of 14 proposed charter amendments continued Tuesday, with members balking at a proposal to set aside 20% of the County’s annual transient accommodations tax revenue to fund climate plan initiatives.
Voters back more ethics oversight and compensation changes, oppose longer terms for boards
Two charter amendments passed with nearly 60% of the vote. The third, which proposed consecutive terms for board members with no waiting period, was narrowly defeated.
Maui County has 3 charter amendments on November ballot. What would they change?
The proposed amendments address the need for full-time staffing of the Board of Ethics; make it easier for people to serve a second term on county boards and commissions; and better define the role of the Salary Commission.
