5 Mike Fischer noted that the AC has been in existence for eight months. He looks forward to increasingly effective operations. The CDP has action plans. The AC members can meet with County officials, serve as coordinators to get projects moving, and help maintain enthusiasm He plans to meet with Councilman Pete Hoffman regarding a park master plan and also steps to take to get the Planning Director to submit a concurrency bill as provided for in the CDP. As a separate matter, Waikoloa Village would like to sell land for development of another commercial center. OLD BUSINESS 7) Proposed South Kohala CDP Website Members were generally of the view that the County website may be sufficient with adjustments now being considered. The website is under the Planning Department’s purview. The webmaster should make the site more interactive, with a survey capacity. Work plans could be posted on it. It could act as a reflector. Margaret Horwatt suggested that this topic be deleted from the AC’s agenda in the future. 8) Review Draft Operating Guidelines The chair had received some recommended changes from AC members and from the public. He proposed to combine the recommendations and call for formal approval at the next meeting. He will do a red-line or Ramsayer version. Discussion: Public comments were discussed first. Achahn Schulze agreed with the comment on item 18. Others had also commented on that item. Another suggestion was to include portions of the CDP in the Operating Guidelines, specifically those addressing the powers of the AC. Overall, however, it was agreed that the Operating Guidelines would be procedural. Mike Fischer’s version will have an introductory sentence acknowledging the authority the CDP gives to the AC and stating that these Operating Guidelines are designed to implement the AC’s role. Although a public document, the Operating Guidelines are essentially for AC members now and in the future.
