Attachment I <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />The Hawaii County Planning Department (HCPD) provides technical advice to the <br />Mayor, Planning Commission and County Council on all planning and land use matters <br />as well as administers the subdivision and zoning codes. Their partnership and <br />involvement with the Envision Downtown Hilo Vision Keepers began with the <br />development of an Envision Downtown Hilo (EDH) 2025 Plan created with community <br />participation and input. The Healthy Hawaii Initiative (HHI) serves as the Department of <br />Health (DOH) lead on built environment issues for physical activity and nutrition with a <br />focus on the development and design of healthier communities. Through this agreement <br />it is our intent to support Hawaii County as they update their plans, and codes to support <br />physical activity and healthy eating behaviors. <br />The intent of this Agreement is to provide funding support for the Sustainable Design <br />Assessment Team (SDAT) program. The American Institute of Architects selected <br />Downtown Hilo as a recipient of the 2009 SDAT program award for the Strategic <br />Implementation of Long-term Sustainability in Hilo. The SDAT team will assist in <br />bringing together multidisciplinary teams of professionals from across the county to <br />provide a road map for communities seeking to improve their sustainability. <br />As part of this Agreement, HCPD shall provide the following: <br />1. HCPD shall promote healthy, active lifestyles as part of the EDH Action Plan <br />Update.
