I think a lot of it's psychological. So we have had meetings and we talk about maintaining a positive attitude, supporting each other and representing Hawaii.

I want people to come away with a more positive attitude. It seems like we're coming on to a new millennium and the world is having a mid-life crisis. Reflecting on the future and this songs may help them refocus on that and become more grounded.

Always go into meetings or negotiations with a positive attitude. Tell yourself you're going to make this the best deal for all parties.

If there are questions after these individual meetings, the division will ask for supporting documents.

Somebody who came down here four years ago and never goes to School Board meetings or workshops, I don't think that carries a lot of weight.

No one city can master it all. San Carlos is interested in virtual meetings. We don't have the time to do it, so they did it. And we do things they benefit from. The key factor is we're all going in the same direction, just in different pathways.
