<br />officer, the new police captain and the new county director of civil defense. There also was a <br />brief discussion concerning the provision of information about safety precautions that might be <br />advisable in light of the “vog” issues in the Waikoloa area. <br /> <br /> There was no report for the Waimea Subcommittee. <br /> <br /> Ms. Eberhardt then reported for the District-Wide Subcommittee. She has continued <br />planning an information and planning meeting regarding water resources and delivery with the <br />goal of finding the best approaches to ensure that adequate water supplies are made available to <br />the Kawaihae community and throughout the South Kohala District, taking into account the <br />history and traditional water uses and distribution methods in the area, future harbor expansion, <br />population increases and commercial development. <br /> <br /> The Committee then considered priorities for the Subcommittees for 2012 and agreed to <br />discuss the matter in greater depth at the next meeting. <br /> <br /> There were no proposals for additions to the CIP budget. <br /> <br /> The next item on the agenda was a discussion of the implementation of the South Kohala <br />CDP and the responsibilities of the Committee. Ms. Newlon led a discussion on the subject and <br />suggested that the Committee identify projects that are achievable on a short-term basis and then <br />establish a strategy to pursue to support the projects. <br /> <br /> Ms. Leithead-Todd then distributed to the members a summary of proposed legislation <br />intended to modify part I of chapter 92 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (commonly known as the <br />“Sunshine Law”). <br /> <br /> The Chair then invited comments from the public. <br /> <br /> Mike Price reiterated the need for one government agency which possesses appropriate <br />authority to take the lead as project manager in planning for the future of Kawaihae harbor. <br /> <br /> Diane Kanealii emphasized that all decisions concerning future development in and <br />around Kawaihae must be made in a responsible manner and used the term “pono“(which is <br />generally defined as goodness, moral, fitting and proper) as a more appropriate way of describing <br />this requirement. <br /> <br /> Margaret Wille suggested that the proposed amendments to part I of chapter 92 of the <br />Hawaii Revised Statutes be added to the Committee’s agenda for the next meeting and urged the <br />Committee to consider the use of the aquifer located at the development commonly referred to as <br />1010 Puako. She also made an inquiry about a cell tower to be placed in Waimea and touched <br />on several additional issues. <br /> <br /> Jojo Tanimoto then suggested that the Committee resume the use of name plates for <br />Committee members and make name tags available for members of the public at future meetings. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />
