The focus of the monthly meeting was the state's Harbors Modernization Plan. Officials from the Department of Transportation who were scheduled to address the Community Advisory Council will instead testify on the proposed plan (SB 3227) at a joint Senate committee hearing at the State Capitol that afternoon.

The West Hawai'i Community Advisory Council meeting will be rescheduled at a later date to provide the community with information about the six-year, $824.1 million Harbors Modernization Plan, which includes $87.8 million in improvements for Kawaihae Harbor and $61.4 million for Hilo Harbor.
