7. Communication No. 2016-10: Draft Letter to Planning Director Requesting Information on the Pāhoa Regional Town Center Plan & Wastewater Treatment Study: Public Testimony: Michelle David testified that she is happy to see that nothing has moved forward regarding the wastewater treatment center in Pāhoa. She would like to see more creative solutions being investigated and encourages more discussion on Village Centers instead of focusing on growing Pāhoa. Why not keep Pāhoa the way it is and put money into the Neighborhood/ Village Centers that would help keep people off the road and give them the opportunity to have provisions in their own communities. Leila moved to accept Communication No. 2016-10. Second by Susan. Action Committee members discussed the draft letter to the Planning Director addressing the Planning Consultant for the Pāhoa Regional Town Center Plan & Wastewater treatment Study. While most members agreed that the letter should be sent, Hans cautioned that the tone of the letter is strong and may be inappropriate. Motion passed with 6 votes aye and 0 votes nay.
