reflective of Councilmember Reynolds discussions in the districts <br /> and the concern over particularly beach access--is that this is a <br /> signal that when this money comes in, both the community and the <br /> Council would like to see some improvements at Kahalu'u, <br /> because it is the major beach park in that area, and I think it would <br /> have the greatest benefit to the people who reside in that area and <br /> would have a need for recreation facilities. <br /> Frankly, I'd like to see a parking lot across the street, and the <br /> existing parking ?ot used to expand the beach park area, so that <br /> there's more place for people. I was surprised at just how many <br /> people use that beach park, and how crowded it is. As I went <br /> down to meet with the members of the Civic Clubs Historic Sites <br /> Committee, and with some of the Na'opio people from Kahalu'u, <br /> and both by tourist as well as residents, it is very crowded. I think, <br /> <br /> you know, if you were doing a body count, there are more bodies <br /> per square foot of beach there then you see at Hapuna. And there <br /> was quite a bit of interest expressed, in both improving and <br /> expanding that park area. <br /> <br /> And I tried to get property---actually, I had talked to them about <br /> property, across the street, and then discovered that they didn't <br /> own the property across the street, because I was trying to find a <br /> way to expand the park now. I was very disappointed to discover <br /> <br /> they didn't own that property, because I thought it would be a great <br /> <br /> parking lot. <br /> But, this doesn't limit us to Kau, it just tries to indicate that that's <br /> where the community and the Council would like to see some of <br /> this money go and improve, because the facilities there do need <br /> improvement. Thank you very much. <br /> ACTING CHR. SMITH: Thank you, Ms. Leithead-Todd. <br /> Mr. Yagong. <br /> MR. YAGONG: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for that <br /> clarification Mr. Ray and Ms. Leithead-Todd. Maybe then I <br /> should ask if you could define region to me. How is this island <br /> broken down by region? Is there like a ntap outlined that indicates, <br /> or is the region represented by the nine-member Council District? <br /> MS. LEITIIEAD-TODD: May I respond? <br /> ACTING CHR. SMITH: Yes, please do. <br /> <br />
