Kauai Council Chair, Vice Chair Recap March 20 Meeting on Video

Council Chair Mel Rapozo and Vice Chair KipuKai Kualiʻi sat down for the latest installment of the county's weekly "Council Roundup" video series, recapping the Kauaʻi County Council meeting held March 20.

The short program, posted to the county's Ho'ike/YouTube feed, is part of a weekly series produced at Kauai's Ho'ike, the community media center that has long served as a production partner for county government content. In each episode, the chair and vice chair walk viewers through recent council business in accessible, plain-language format rather than directing residents to parse official minutes or attend meetings in person.

Rapozo holds the position of Council Chair, while Kualiʻi serves as Council Vice Chair and also chairs the Housing and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. Both are in their final term on the council. Kualiʻi cannot run again because of term limits, and Rapozo has announced his intent to run for mayor in 2026.

The "Council Roundup" format gives residents who missed the meeting a direct line to leadership's framing of what was decided and why. Agendas, minutes, and recap memoranda for all council meetings are maintained on the county's website at kauai.gov, and residents can submit testimony by email to counciltestimony@kauai.gov or reach the Office of the County Clerk by phone at (808) 241-4188.

The March 20 recap video is available on the county's Ho'ike/YouTube channel.
