Members of the public are encouraged to participate and make suggestions.

Each town hall is set for 6 to 8 p.m. and will be broadcast live on Olelo.

The lineup: Oct. 17 at Blaisdell Center, Hawaii Suites (urban core); Nov. 13, Waia­lua High School cafeteria (Waia­­lua, Hale­iwa communities); Nov. 19, Kahuku High School cafeteria (Koo­lau­loa community); Dec. 5, Wai­anae District Park (Wai­anae, Nana­kuli, Maili); and Dec. 10, Kaiser High School cafeteria (East Oahu).
