<br />statements in the report says that there is no means to evaluate or remove properties on the <br />acquisition list should the status of properties materially change. This was a problem that was <br />discussed with Councilwoman Galimba as some of the properties are lava inundated and they are <br />still on the list. Chr. Chang’s idea is to form a PInG to discuss updating the list to make it more <br />informative for the public, the Mayor, and the Commission. <br /> <br />V. Chr. Britt asks if this is something the commission should be doing already. <br /> <br />Cmr. Rosam reminds everyone that Mr. Schapiro already has a similar report <br /> <br />Mr. Schapiro explained that the numbers in that report are compiled since the PONC program <br />began and nothing has been removed since nominations were received, including properties that <br />are now inundated with lava or have since been developed. <br /> <br />Cmr. Rosam felt the commission does not need to be responsible for updating the list <br /> <br />Cmr. Markoff stated that properties like Honolulu Landing were nominated many years ago and <br />had not been revisited until the community reintroduced it. Cmr. Markoff then asks how do we <br />address a property that was previously nominated and wasn’t selected? <br /> <br />Chr. Chang shared that in the case of Honolulu Landing, there was a resolution that was passed <br />years ago and once a resolution is passed on a property that’s been prioritized by the commission, <br />it does not come back to the PONC commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Schapiro confirms that if there’s intent to pass a new resolution it does not need to go back to <br />the commission, it has already gone to Council. Mr. Schapiro goes on to say that he interprets the <br />commission’s role as creating a prioritized list and making recommendations annually. The Ad Hoc <br />committee’s recommendation is should there be a process to possibly remove properties and if <br />so, how would that process be done. <br /> <br />Cmr. Brandt shares that she is not a fan of full removal but more a deaccession and updating the <br />data on these properties. She further states it is still valuable to have information on properties <br />the community has expressed interest in over past years. <br /> <br />Chr. Chang suggests relying on the staff to update the list and to create new categories instead of <br />full removal. <br /> <br />Mr. Schapiro notes that if it is the will of the commission then we will take that into consideration. <br />Right now, it is a recommendation from the Ad Hoc committee, it is unclear if they are working on <br />legislation to pass. However, if the commission decides this is not something they want to do or <br />even agrees should be done, then it should be documented in the minutes. <br /> <br />Chr. Chang expresses that it would be nice to be more proactive and not wait for Council to feel <br />they need to impose legislation for updating the list. <br /> <br />Cmr. Markoff understood that in the past a PInG was formed to look at older suggestions. <br /> <br />Chr. Chang confirms that request came from Mayor Roth. <br />DRAFT v.1 - Minutes of May 11, 2026 <br />Page 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
