NEW BUSINESS 1. Review Draft Operating Guidelines from the Kona CDP AC. Legal editing still needs to be done on the Operating Guidelines. This issue will be tabled until Corporation Counsel has finalized the document, at which time it will be put on the Agenda. Bob Martin stated that although all of the Duties and Responsibilities outlined in the Operating Guidelines do in fact pertain to us constructively, item (g) seems closest to what the plan of the Kohala AC should be … “provide ongoing guidance and advocacy”. 2.Review Land Use Projects Proposed in the NKCDP. Ron Friman proposed three action committees be set up: -Public Access -Infrastructure/Affordable Housing -Agriculture/Growth Management Richard Liebmann discussed the Implementation Matrix Strategy as outlined on page 97 of the CDP and recommended four subcommittees be established consistent with the sections of the CDP. A discussion followed; the proposals were tabled until the December meeting. 3.Administrative Items Relating to the Structure of the NKCDP AC Meetings. A motion was made by Collin Kaholo, seconded by Hermann Fernandez and put forth for discussion that public testimony be limited to three minutes per agenda item. The motion was passed with seven yes votes, one no vote and one abstention. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC 1. Pat Sullivan – We need a way to keep the community advised of the Action Committee’s work for those who cannot attend meetings. 2. Ashley Lueders – Process of submitting community input? 3. Aurora Kagawa –Is written testimony admissible? The Chair briefly addressed the questions from the attendees and pointed out that the best way to keep up with the Action Committee’s activities is to read the monthly Kohala Mountain News articles, and to visit the County of Hawaii’s website which may be found by Googling “North Kohala CDP”. Minutes of the AC’s meetings will soon be posted at this site.
