A county commission reviewed 15 Maui boards and commissions, finding widespread problems with quorum failures and effectiveness. The report recommends eliminations and structural reforms to improve government efficiency.
- The Cost of Government Commission found chronic quorum failures across all reviewed boards, with some not meeting for years.
- Multiple boards recommended for elimination in 2010-2011 remain in place with the same operational problems.
- The Real Property Tax Review Board handles over 1,000 annual appeals in a volunteer capacity that functions like a part-time job.
- The commission identified fraud risks from inadequate background checks and oversight gaps in board appointments.
- Recommendations include eliminations, restructuring, and reforms to address systemic governance issues.
