1. Only one representative per applicant will be called to provide information and answer questions.

2. Each representative will be allowed no more than three minutes to provide any additional information.

3. Oahu applicants will be heard in alphabetical order first, followed by “neighbor island” applicants in alphabetical order.

Additionally, representatives of the appropriate Executive Branch expending agencies responsible for the release and distribution of appropriated funds are also invited to participate in this process and be available to answer questions from the Committees about their respective analyses of grant-in-aid applicants’ requests.
