AA: Thanks, Natalie. Now District – 8, Cortney? <br /> <br />CO: Thanks so much, Chair. Hi, this is Cortney, District – 8. Quick update on the Kona Pier closure. I <br />did hear back from DLNR that the plan at this time is to continue to keep the pier closed to <br />vehicles. So it will remain open to all foot traffic but they’re limiting vehicle access because of <br />the cruise ships basically. So the gate is gonna be closed until further notice and that’s, I guess, <br />part of their facility use security plan, so if anyone has any questions on that – let me know – I <br />have a person to talk to now, so, and that’s all I have for my district, thank you. <br /> <br />5. PRESENTATION: <br /> <br />a. Benjamin Reder, Project Manager at United States Army Corps of <br />Engineers, Update on the Laupahoehoe Seawall. <br /> <br />AA: Thank you, Cortney. Moving on to the presentation we’ve got Benjamin Reder, Project Manager <br />at the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Update on the Laupahoehoe Seawall. Hey, Ben? <br /> <br />BR: \[Unclear\] can you hear me? <br /> <br />AA: Welcome, we can hear you. <br /> <br />BR: Awesome, great. I am going to try and share my screen and see how this goes. Thank you so <br />much for inviting me and giving me this time. Definitely, I look forward to the discussion here. <br />We’re not typically allowed to use Zoom so it’s not necessarily intuitive to meet \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />AA: You could have caught the plane and joined us in person. <br /> <br />BR: Yeah, next time I definitely will but I think it’s a smart thing not to as far as many of our people <br />are under the weather and I don’t want to spread bad bugs to anybody. <br /> <br />AA: Perfect. <br /> <br />BR: OK. And it kinda looks like – you are seeing – my slides aren’t advancing for some reason so I’ll <br />stop sharing but I will tell you, um, so aloha, good morning. Benjamin Reder here. I currently <br />work as the Deputy Chief and the project manager for Honolulu District and I work in what we <br />call the Civil and Public Works Branch. You have a lot of projects focused on, break waters like <br />Laupahoehoe. We have to do projects like watershed plans or beneficial use of dredged <br />materials or various flood risk projects so, we do a lot of different stuff for sure and, <br />Laupahoehoe is one aspect of it and I still don’t like – you’re just seeing a slide that says words, <br />words, words, words, words, right? <br />AA: Not yet. We just have a black screen right now. <br /> <br />SW: Deputy… <br /> <br />AA: Now it says words… <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br /> <br />
