NEW BUSINESS • Commissioner Kenneth Kaneshiro provided an updated list of the sorted survey forms. (Please see attached) • Commissioner Kalani Flores distributed the 2006 Assessment Criteria Form. • Commissioners discussed the various options on how to proceed with the sorted list of survey forms. It was decided that the commissioners present would divide into three working groups. Recess taken at 10:30 a.m. Reconvened at 10:35 a.m. Commissioners worked together as a group and completed one survey form (Honolulu Landing) applying the 2006 Assessment Criteria Form. While applying this Assessment Criteria Form, the commissioners decided that the first category under Criteria 3, "Testimony and /or letters of support received for site or project," that the total points this category can receive is either a "2" or "3." Two (2) points should be given if the property received one submittal and three (3) points for two or more submittals. This procedure should be applied strictly to this category only. Motion was made by Commissioner Ruth Walker to complete only Criteria 1 of the Assessment Form and should the subject parcel does not meet the requirement of Criteria 1, the property should be eliminated. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Paul Campbell. 2
