\\n

Cost Of Government Commission Meeting: Thursday, September 12th, 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Mayor\\u2019s Conference Room on the 9th floor of the County Building at 200 South High Street in Wailuku.

\\n

NFIP: Without Congressional action, the National Flood Insurance Program will expire at midnight on Monday, September 30th. NAR is working to secure long term reauthorization. To assist REALTORS, NAR has created a FAQ Sheet to address some common concerns.

\\n

Toxic Substance Control Act Reminder: Two real estate companies recently settled cases with the U.S. EPA for violating the TSCA by failing to provide proper lead-bases paint disclosures to buyers and renters of homes built before 1978 on Maui and the Big Island. The Disclosure Rule requires sellers and lessors of pre-1978 homes to provide prospective buyers and tenants with a federal brochure about lead-based paint, any information known about lead-based paint in the home, and a warning statement about the potential dangers of lead-based paint.

\\n

Mayor Victorino and the RAM GAD: Recently I had the pleasure of appearing on Mayor Victorino\\u2019s show on Akaku to discuss the Lahaina injection well issue. After the GET Committee\\u2019s vote on Friday to settle the case, Mayor Victorino has asked me to join him on KAOI radio this Thursday at 7 a.m. for further discussion. I will try and upload our conversation as a bonus RAM GAD POD episode this week.
