2017-01-10 Puna CDP FINAL Minutes

Home

the Puna Community Leaders Meeting was aligned with the Puna CDP with exception of a few general comments that apply very broadly. Patti moved to approve the PCDP Response to Report from Community Leaders Meeting draft letter. Second by Frank. Discussion ensued. Comments listed in the report were community member's opinions and were listed verbatim. Larry expressed that he would like the Action Committee to be tasked with forming a prioritization of CDP actions. He asked for feedback from AC members on how and when this prioritization should be done, adding that it would be more comprehensive to use the CPD itself and not just the most recent comments from the community meeting. Patti made a friendly amendment to address the letter to both Councilmember Ohara and Councilmember Ruggles. Second by Michael. Motion passed with 7 votes aye and 0 votes nay. Patti suggested that the comments received at the November 191h meeting need to be considered when the AC is prioritizing actions. Discussion continued regarding the draft letter in Response to the Report from the Community Leaders Meeting. The main motion as amended passed with 6 votes aye and 1 vote nay (Michael). Although some AC members wanted to tackle the job of prioritization at the meeting, they were unable to do so because it had not been clearly agendized. It was suggested that a special meeting be held that would focus solely on preparing a priority list. Patti moved that Action Committee Members and County Staff look at their calendars to suggest possible dates for the special meeting to prioritize PCDP action items. Second by Michael. Motion passed with 7 votes aye and 0 votes nay. February 7th & 8th at 3pm were the suggested dates. County staff will confirm date, time, and venue as soon as possible. Larry asked committee members to come to the special meeting prepared. He recommended that AC members look at the Puna CDP and the community in which they reside and the needs of that community. He suggested everyone come prepared with their top five priorities.
