31 The intention is for planners and the KOSN investigatory subcommittee to meet during the 2nd half 32 of October and discuss collaboration moving forward. 33 3. Island-wide Joint Action Committee Survey Results: 34 Ms. Alexis Ching discussed the August 12, 2021 Joint AC meeting survey results, which included 35 feedback on how to improve the virtual convening and suggestions on topics for future workshops. 36 Survey results showed overwhelmingly positive feedback to the Joint AC meeting. Ms. Keiko 37 Mercado stated that this was a voluntary space for sharing and collaboration of AC members. 38 There was consensus that the Joint AC was useful for presenters to report on a topic of shared 39 interest (such as PONC). 40 Click the link for survey results: http://records.hawaiicounty.gov/Weblink/1/doc/112476/Pagel.aspx 41 4.

Charles "Chuck" Flaherty, testified on the announcements shared and agenda item 2. Mr. Flaherty 54 asked that the agenda list all announcement items, such as the GP update, to provide the 55 community the opportunity to testify. He also requested that various KCDP subcommittees be 56 listed on the agenda so community members can have discussions with subcommittee members 57 outside of the AC meeting. 58 Mr. Flaherty acknowledged the benefits of Joint AC meetings and outlined his concerns for the AC 59 members getting distracted from focusing on their own community, which he emphasized was the 60 purpose of the CDPs. He inquired as to what the authority was for instating the Joint AC meeting. 61 Mr. Flaherty advised there be an organizational chart that shows all the organizations that AC 62 members are involved in. 63 Mr. Flaherty spoke to the issue of flooding and erosion control and recommended that the AC start 64 by looking at a draft revision of the erosion ordinance that involved consultants and community 65 members. He stated that the erosion control ordinance was supposed to be revised as part of the 66 1250 Oceanside Partners settlement, but it was never brought before County Council by the past 67 two administrations. 68 APPROVAL OF MINUTES: 69 Committee Member Franz Weber mode o motion to approve the March 22, 2021 minutes.
