2. Glenda, Office Manager for the Hawaiian Acres Road Committee, testified that at their last road committee meeting it was suggested that Road I and Road F be used for connectivity and that they would like to suggest speed bumps to prevent speeding in these areas. 3. Hannah Hedrick, resident of Hawaiian Acres, testified that she would like for the PCDP AC to acknowledge that social connectivity is also an essential part of this process. 4. Larry Bergner, resident of Hawaiian Acres, testified that he was surprised to have received the questionnaire that was sent out to the communities by the CERSC. It is his testimony that many people who move into the back areas of these subdivisions have done so for a reason and that he is uncomfortable with the idea of new connected roads in his area. He wanted to know specifically where and how this was going to happen. Marlene Hapai (CERSC) reported on the minutes from their February 25th meeting (Communication 2014-13) and restated that the CERSC meets at 5pm on the 4th Tuesday of each month at Kea'au Community Center. Of importance was the question of who becomes responsible for road maintenance should a privately maintained road be selected for connectivity? It is the CERSC's opinion that access should come with shared maintenance. The 2014 PREP Fair will be held on Saturday, August 30, 2014 at Kea'au High School from 9am-3pm. 3.
