Ms. Springer noted that the Commission needs to prioritize those properties that have resolutions <br />approved. <br />Mr. Yada noted that Honoli`i has a resolution also but it wasn't part of the Commission's process. <br />Mr. Springer then asked the commissioners if they wanted to include Honoli`i in the priority list. <br />Ms. Markovich replied yes. <br />Ms. Moon replied yes. <br />Mr. Komata replied yes. <br />Ms. Garcia replied yes. <br />Ms. Springer replied yes. <br />Mr. Flores replied yes. <br />Mr. Yada added that the Council has authorized the purchase of Honoli`i using the open space <br />fund. <br />(The commissioners then reviewed and discussed the maps that were provided by Ms. Springer <br />and Ms. Moon and went into discussion regarding the 2008 Prioritized List) <br />Lunch —12:03 p.m. <br />Reconvened —12:40 p.m. <br />(The commissioners continued discussion creating the 2008 Prioritized List) <br />Mr. Flores suggested that letters be sent to all landowners of properties on the prioritized list as an <br />inquiry asking them if the property is presently available for acquisition. <br />Mr. Yada said that a letter can be sent out but he doesn't feel that the Commission will get a <br />response. <br />Ms. Springer asked Mr. Yada for any suggestions. Mr. Yada noted that with the LLC, they <br />wouldn't even get this far or even consider it if the landowner is not willing to sell. <br />Ms. Self added that the Commission did receive letters from attorneys telling the County that they <br />had no interest in selling, Punalu`u and Kaiholena, for example. In this situation the Council has <br />already authorized the purchase and it's now in the County's hands to proceed with acquisition. <br />Mr. Yada stressed that the whole concept is to have a list that represents what the Commission is <br />recommending to the Mayor to act on, not necessarily to add to a long list of properties. <br />Mr. Flores added that the key would be to confirm availability with the landowner. <br />Ms. Garcia noted that these properties are submitted by the public and regardless of whether the <br />property is available for purchase it should still remain on the list. <br />Ms. Springer then asked the Commission on whether letters should be sent to the landowners who <br />are willing and not willing to sell. <br />-5- <br />
