3 3) SKCDP Action Committee Vacancy John Hoover has filled the long-standing AC vacancy of a ninth member. Two more vacancies are arising as Jeannie Palermo and Fran Tabor leave. Allen Salavea plans to submit applications for both vacancies together, drawing on the previous pool of applicants. County Council action on the vacancies might hopefully occur in January. 4) Land Use Permit Activity Report Allen Salavea highlighted several applications that had been agendized for the Planning Commission at its meetings of November 24 and December 15. Mike Fischer said the AC had received community input requesting that the AC speak out against an Edwin DeLuz Trucking and Gravel application for continued operation of the Pu‘u Hinai Quarry. Mike inquired if the AC might make a resolution that it believed the application contrary to the CDP. Allen responded that how the AC moves forward is part of the committee defining itself. Presently AC members would clearly identify any written comments or testimony as coming from themselves as individuals. The AC might want to discuss this matter with North Kohala’s AC. Regarding Planning Commission procedure, letters received one week in advance of a hearing are distributed to each Commissioner. Many people submit their comments in person. Individuals may ask for confirmation that their input has been passed along to the Commission. 5) Liaison Report from Various Meetings and Events Mike Fischer advised that Waikoloa Friends of the Library met with the State Librarian on November 18 to discussing funding and strategy. If a librarian from Thelma Parker Memorial Library comes two days a week, then Waikoloa’s project will be accepted as a library. The project needs constant public support. Mike and Achahn Schulze met with the president of the South Kohala Traffic Safety Committee in private session. Shuttle routes and strategies for Waikoloa are to be discussed with Tom Brown of the County Transit Agency. Mike also attended a Waikoloa Land Use Committee meeting. 6) Status Report on Draft Operating Guidelines The AC adopted its guidelines on September 17, 2010. No comment has been received thus far from Deputy Corporation Counsel Amy Self.
