<br /> <br /> <br />effort will be made to establish a district wide leadership council that will include community <br />leaders from Waimea, Waikoloa, Puako and Kawaihae. <br /> <br />A discussion of proposals for inclusion in the CIP budget followed. Mr. Schulze <br />proposed including an item calling for an impact benefit study regarding the feasibility of <br />reconstruction of the water pipe network system in the South Kohala District that would provide <br />for best use of available water resources in order to reduce costs for agricultural usage and <br />improve residential water quality. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoover then made a motion to add to the CIP an item calling for a feasibility study <br />for a waste water treatment facility for Puako. Ms. Horwatt seconded the motion and, following <br />discussion, the motion was approved by a vote of six in favor and one abstaining, with Ms. Inaba <br />constituting the abstention. Mr. Roehrig then made a motion that the feasibility study for the <br />waster water treatment facility not be offered for inclusion in the CIP budget until Mr. Hoover <br />presented a written proposal for approval by the Committee. After a second for the motion was <br />offered and following discussion, the Committee voted in favor of Mr. Roehrig’s motion, with <br />Ms. Alvord and Mr. Schulze dissenting. <br /> <br />Ms. Newlon then announced that the Planning Department was directing the Committee <br />to hold meetings every other month rather than monthly. A question arose as to whether this was <br />a cost cutting measure and whether the Committee might meet monthly with attendance by the <br />Project Manager every other month or in some other fashion that resulted in savings for the <br />County while enabling the Committee to continue monthly meetings. The question was tabled <br />until the next meeting. <br /> <br />Members of the public then offered comments. Bob Green applauded the suggestion by <br />Mr. Schulze regarding best usage of water resources. A request was made that action be taken to <br />protect the sacred nature of Paniau Beach at the south end of Puako where a birthing rock is <br />located. Gunner Mench suggested that the path of the Kawaihae bypass road be utilized as a <br />path for pipes to bring water from Lalamilo wells to Puako and Kawaihae. <br /> <br />Mr. Fischer then thanked Mr. Hoover for making the premises available and organizing <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />The next meeting of the Committee will be held at 5:00 p.m. on April 25, 2011, at the <br />Waikoloa Village Association meeting room in Waikoloa Village. <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the meeting, the meeting was adjourned <br />at 6:55 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> ______________________________ <br /> Michael B.
