MM: Oh, yeah. I’m sorry one more thing to add, I checked this morning with our project guys <br />and the scope and the contract is going through the change right now for us to get rid of <br />the spears that were created with the rebar, so hopefully we can have that done within <br />the next month, month and a half – get all those taken care of. And for those of you who <br />don’t know the wave attenuation at the boat ramp, just a constant back and forth back <br />and forth with the waves has made the exposed rebar almost into spears. We do try as <br />much as we can to block off the pier and we do have – like there should be no <br />swimming at the pier. Our understanding is there’s still nighttime boat launches and <br />stuff like that so, instead of just leaving it like that – we understand that people are <br />utilizing it – we’re gonna go ahead and take care of those in the interim until we can get <br />the full project up. Any other questions for Laupahoehoe Boat Ramp for us? <br /> <br />LT: No, mahalo. <br /> <br />MM: OK. Great. Now good news – Kolekole Beach Park – we finally received approval through <br />DOT and HECO for the installation of the electricity for down at Kolekole Beach Park. We <br />ran into an issue about a month – maybe a month and a half ago - the poles and <br />everything that HECO was going to use to bring the wires down to the park were <br />unusable. There was a landowner adjacent to the park where we were gonna have to <br />run wires through his property, refused to let us do that. So, we had to contact DOT to <br />get approval to go underneath a bridge and all that has been secured, everything’s been <br />taken care of, so, next week, March, HECO is gonna be down and they’re going to finish <br />the installation for the electric. After that we’re gonna be doing our final permits for <br />electric, building and water and by April 2, which is gonna be the following Tuesday after <br />next week we’re gonna be able to announce our reopening date. Our goal is probably <br />the third week of April is what we’re shooting for right now – the third or fourth week of <br />April depending on how the permits go and as of right now, we don’t know of anything <br />holding us back unless HECO runs into some issues next week. So, are there any <br />questions about that? <br /> <br />LT: Not for me. Thank you very much. <br /> <br />MM: OK, and so Hakalau Beach Park. Same thing. Our goal is to open that next month as well. <br />We’ve got a call in with DOT to meet down at the site with Public Works, DOT, our <br />project guys – to go down and inspect the fencing that was put up prior to the closure of <br />where they have the high levels of lead are concentrated – there were some fencing put <br />up – there were signs – there was signage put up and so we’re supposed to be meeting <br />down there next week in between the holidays and check the fencing out and seeing if <br />it’s OK, check the signage. Public Works is gonna look at the road heading down and <br />then we’ve got some of our staff – we got Skibs and some other folks who are gonna go <br />down and help up when we’re – when all the fencing is ready to go and we’re gonna <br />clear it up – get it ready for public use again. And if there’s any way that we can do that <br />we’re gonna do that in the month of April as well, so the month of April should see <br />beach access restored at Kolekole Beach Park and Hakalau Beach Park. <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
