Mayor Richard Bissen is bringing Holomua Kākou — talk story gatherings — back to Lanai on July 30 and July 31 as part of his effort to take county government to rural communities in Maui County.

According to a news release, “Mayor Bissen and Your Team in Your Town” events will be held at the LWU Union Hall, 840 Ilima Ave., Lanai City.

The mayor and staff will be available to answer questions and provide assistance from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. both days at the ILWU Union Hall.

Bissen and other county officials will hold an additional meeting on Lanai at 5:30- 7 p.m. Aug. 20 at the same location.

“Our rural communities deserve meaningful access to government in their hometowns,” Bissen said. “Our residents lead busy lives with work, family and community commitments, and we appreciate the time and valuable insights they share with us.”

Lanai residents are welcome to submit topics and questions ahead of the community talk story via email to Public.Affairs@mauicounty.gov. Those attending the meeting that evening also can ask questions in person.

Holomua Kākou events are planned for East Maui and Molokai in August.
