Council Member Shane M. Sinenci announced today that the East Maui Regional Community Board is accepting applications through April 9 for the first East Maui Water Authority director.
“This year in response to recovery efforts, and the creation of three new departments and one new division, we’re facing a $429.2 million increase to the FY 2025 budget,” said Mayor Bissen. “This is 33.9% increase from last year’s council approved budget of $1.268 billion. This is due in large part to the new revenue streams addressing our emergency recovery needs.”
A bill to fast-track building permits in areas hard-hit by the August wildfires has received final approval by the Maui County Council. Bill 21 advances to the mayor for final action.
The Water Authority, Social Services and Parks Committee, chaired by Sinenci, recruited and vetted East Maui Regional Community Board applicants following approval of a charter amendment by 64% of the voters at the Nov. 8 election. The board members will appoint the director and approve a long-range watershed-management plan and other related programs.
