3. Jon Olson testified on agenda items 9 (Pahoa Regional Town Center Plan) and 10 (Impact of the Lava). "Pahoa is not going to disappear because it doesn't have an actual GPS, Pahoa is a state of mind." Pahoa has been through a lot and has always rebuilt. The question is "will there be a need for a Regional Town Center" in the future. This cannot be answered right now and will change as the needs change. This could be an opportunity to right some wrongs with regards to the creation of certain subdivisions. 4. Samantha Martoni testified on agenda item 8 (Town Meeting Subcommittee). As a Hawaiian Shores representative, she wanted to inform the AC of their support for a Village Center. The Hawaiian Shores Community is offering 10-12 acres of grassland for use as a possible "container town"type Village Center. HELCO, Oceanic Cable, Hawaiian Telcom, AT&T and Verizon are working on boosting services and the Police De has been invited to use the Community Center as a substation. 5. Charlie Maas testified on agenda item 9 (Pahoa Regional Town Center Plan). It is Charlie's strong recommendation that we keep pushing forward with the Pahoa ordinances even though it's his understanding that Councilman Kern has proposed taking the Pahoa ordinances off the table. It's possible that should these ordinances pass, they would have to be modified to fit the current situation as it plays out. Let's have them decide this on the Council level, lots of work has been put into this and it would be wrong to just dismiss it. Charlie also said that his recommendation would be to wait on a consultant for the town center master plan until we see how the lava plays out.
