<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Projects in Development <br /> <br /> Kailua Village is the heart of the Kona District, yet local residents have been bypassing the area <br /> for various reasons. We've addressed 'clean and safe' above, here are other projects we're <br /> currently working on aimed at bringing back local residents and visitors. <br /> <br /> District Public-Private Partnership Committee <br /> Short-Term Parking Solutions <br /> <br /> • Hale Halawai parking lot has been chained off to the general public. Our committee is <br /> reviewing an action plan that will open up this underutilized resource of 30 parking stalls <br /> while continuing to service park user groups. County Parks and Recreation Director has <br /> encouraged the District in our consensus-building endeavor. <br /> • We have had very positive meetings with the County Transportation Director on <br /> opening a pilot Park and Ride shuttle program at the Old Kona Airport Park. Once <br /> launched, this could add another 60 parking stalls - aimed at moving employees who <br /> <br /> park their cars for 8+ hours to a secure location with convenient shuttle service. <br /> Homeless Shelter <br /> <br /> • Working cooperatively with Community Alliance Partners to support the fast-tracking of <br /> an overnight 32-bed shelter in the District. <br /> • Again through Community Alliance Partners, discussing issues of concern with The <br /> Friendly Place, adjacent businesses and service agencies to find solutions. <br /> <br /> Strategic Planning Committee <br /> <br /> SWOT analysis completed. Mission and Vision Statements reaffirmed. Next step: research <br /> existing plans for Kailua Village and begin process to craft an updated, comprehensive <br /> revitalization plan that incorporates improving the quality of life for those who live or visit. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Financial Report <br /> <br /> FY 2007-08 <br /> <br /> See attached. <br /> <br /> Please note there is no proposed assessments rate increase requested for FY 2008-09. <br />
