The County of Hawaii Parks & Recreationdepartment agrees that the funding amount of $100,000 being requested by the Puna CDP Action Committee would be adequate to:  determine the feasibility of creating a safe shoreline swimming area;  develop a conceptual plan;  mapping the necessary permitting process; and  develop a preliminary project budget. Parks and Recreation is also able andwould be willing to administer the funds of approximately $100,000 to be allocated from the State of Hawaii for this project. There was a CIP request to Parks & Recreation for a feasibility study from the Action Committee, but Parks & Recreation has expressed the need for funding support from the State of Hawaii in lieu of this CIP request.procure and administer a contract for the feasibility study. Sincerely, Clayton Honma, Parks & Recreation Director The swimming area would be a lagoon created on land (TMK (3) 1-4-002:008) that is currently owned by the county but within the State Land Use Conservation district. It could be developed as part of phase two of the Isaac Hale Beach Park. Please see attached map for the potential location. A funding allocation of $100,000 (or an amount the state deems appropriate) would allow the hiring of a shoreline consultant. This consultant would do a feasibility study and create a conceptual plan and design for the swimming area in consultation with the appropriate agencies and the community groups. Subcontracting could be done as needed with an engineer and/or planner. An effort would be made to go inland as much as possible for the swimming area to facilitate construction and permitting. This study would be the basis for an Environmental Assessment. Once the feasibility study is completed and the project is deemed feasible, the consultant could map out and start the permitting process and create a preliminary budget for the construction of the swimming area. At that point, further allocation from the State of Hawaii for construction of the swimming area would be needed.
