RD: OK. Teresa has a contacted the Army Corps. I heard from Maurice Messina who said there’s really no new movement on it – though he did say that Mayor Roth – this is a priority for him and then Teresa reached out to Army Corps and she may be able to fill us in on that. She’s on this Committee. TN: OK. I called the Army Corps of Engineers and spoke to Paul Harrow and he in turn who’s the project manager for all the projects on Oahu – he in turn informed me that Lindsay Plannerstill is th the person that’s in charge of the Laupahoehoe Ramp that they’re gonna start on the 18 and th 19 they have a meeting with the various parties here on the Big Island and hopefully whoever Mayor Mitch Roth has assigned to that project will be present and that’s when they’re gonna give us an update. There is a website and I’ll share it with Barbara that we can go into and that comes from Amy Bugala who is their PR person and she’ll be here on the Island also getting information and the update of what’s going on – when they’re starting of the improvement to Laupahoehoe Boat Ramp. Other than that – these are our contacts – they have no information thth to give us unless the meeting starts on the 18 and 19 and from there on will be hopefully – I thth also gave them contacts for - to the news station so that meeting on the 18 and 19 can be publicized and give us more information. Other than that – that’s all they could give me for now. AA: Thanks, Teresa, Abraham, District -5. Is there a way that either you or Bob or someone from you guys’ PIG could be included in that meeting and then come back and give us a report on that meeting? TN: Robert could attend. Cause the meeting is gonna be at Laupahoehoe at the boat ramp. AA: Ah, you and Robert is in contact with each other so just – I guess just give him the contact of that person or maybe you contact that person and make sure they have Robert’s information so they can contact and he can be invited or whatever to that meeting. thth TN: Right, the meeting is gonna be on the 18 and 19 of this month. That is tomorrow and Thursday. That’s their visit with the group of the Honolulu District and Pacific Ocean Division that is scheduled to meet with the Mayor’s staff, Lee Lord, Managing Director at 1:00 pm on th January 19 and that comes from Amy Phillips of the Public’s Affair. AA: OK. Thanks, Teresa. TN: Yeah. So, maybe we can ask Lee Lord to give us an update after their meeting, you know, if we can’t attend because it seems like only the top brass are meeting. We’d have to ask if we could attend. I would have to contact Lee Lord… SW: As to whether or not this is open to the public. TN: I have to ask. I don’t know. RD: Ah, Maurice gave me – what I could do is, you know, where it’s a county meeting – if he thinks it’s appropriate or he wants to just, you know, get us a report from it and he can figure out what’s \[unclear\]. 15
