Ms. Moon stated she thought this Commission should treat the Council resolutions as <br />another public nomination and not get politically involved. <br />Mr. Gilmartin stated if this Commission looked at the resolutions that the Council passed, <br />we should only look at the resolutions with regards to the properties that we ranked as <br />high priority. We should not be driven by what the Council does. <br />Ms. Garcia stated we should have a couple of lists; one with high priced lands and one <br />with low prices such as easements and access ways. <br />Mr. Yada stated this Commission needed to look at our basic purpose; to provide <br />recommendations to the Mayor for acquisition. Our purpose was not to argue what <br />should be developed or not developed. <br />Mr. Yada stated that the current balance fund was approximately a little over S million <br />dollars. <br />Ms. Springer stated she thought it would be a good idea to have that included in his <br />monthly report. <br />Mr. Campbell stated he thought it was this Commission's responsibility to create a <br />priority list of the resolved properties. <br />Mr. Komata stated he would prefer one list that included everything, however, lands such <br />as Waipi`o and Kawa`a, that were earmarked for purchase, should be on a separate list. <br />Mr. Komata stated that should not include lands that have resolutions passed on. That <br />way, if it's warranted, the lands below can move up on the list. <br />Mr. Flores stated that this Commission previously carried over a comprehensive list that <br />included everything that was submitted. However, last year, the priority list was not <br />included in the comprehensive list. <br />Mr. Flores stated the comprehensive list does not go to the Mayor, it's included as an <br />appendix to the report. The priority list is what this Commission submits to the Mayor. <br />STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS <br />Shelley Stevens came to speak about Kawa`a, Punalu`u and Honu`apo. Ms. Stevens <br />stated that the inventory and archaeological committee of Punalu`u, Ninole and Wailau, <br />including archaeologist Malia Fernandez, stated that Kawa`a was a federal undertaking <br />which then invoked the Section 106 process. Ms. Steven's stated with the issue of due <br />diligence and concern of who owned the land, technically, when there was a federal <br />undertaking Section 106, you must by law consult with the Native Hawaiians and their <br />organizations. Especially in Kawa`a, because federal monies were being considered, that <br />invoked the MOA situation with the native tenants. <br />4 <br />
