G. MANAGEMENT/PRESERVATION PLANS REVIEWED (See Instructions. Use <br /> additional pages as needed.) <br /> 1. Please elaborate on how the proposed project activities align with existing plans, if there <br /> are existing plans. <br /> The Kiolakaa Community Resource Management Plan will guide future community management <br /> and stewardship. Nohopapa will review and incorporate community input from existing plans at <br /> Waikapuna and Kaunamano as part of this process including the South Point Resources <br /> Management Plan completed in October 2016 by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. <br /> 2. If you are proposing to produce a management and/or preservation plan, please explain <br /> why such additional planning is needed. <br /> This will be a continuation of the project initiated through a PONC Stewardship Grant Application for <br /> grant period 2024 - 2025 as required by the CE agreement dated October 24, 2022. Due to <br /> administration delays, ATA did not receive the stewardship grant agreement STU 24-10 until late <br /> February 2025 and the project was not funded until March 2025. Hamana Ventura agreed to provide <br /> additional time for the project by changing the grant period to a calendar year, January 01, 2025 - <br /> December 31, 2025. <br /> These management plans typically take 18-24 months to complete. ATA informed the PONC <br /> Commission that this would be a two-year project and a PONC Stewardship Grant Application for <br /> grant period 2025 - 2026 was submitted to complete the project in the second year. Upon receipt of <br /> the grant agreement STU 25-10, ATA noticed that the grant period was based on a fiscal year, from <br /> July 01, 2025 - June 30, 2026. We will now have a six month overlap between STU 24-10 and STU <br /> 25-10 for the exact same project. The Finance Department was not willing to change the term of the <br /> 2025 - 2026 grant in order to coincide with the 2024 - 2025 grant period. To date, ATA is still <br /> awaiting County execution of the 2025 - 2026 grant agreement and receipt of the grant award <br /> We are working with our planning consultant to expedite our timeline in order to complete the project <br /> before June 30, 2026 but we cannot anticipate the level of community engagement at this time. <br /> Therefore we are requesting to extend for a third grant period. If we cannot complete by June 30, <br /> 2026, we expect to allocate the other half of the funding towards the 2026-2027 grant period. <br /> FINAL 2026 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 9 of 13 <br /> 26-07 <br />
