island and wanted to know if the Action Committee had an overarching stance against development which influences its decision making. He suggested that it could be productive for the Action Committee to consider the statistics, in separation from politics, while making decisions. Chair DeFranco assured him and others present that the Action committee does not strive to stop development but rather to encourage conscious development in areas deemed to best serve the community. 2. Nancy Pisicchio, representing the Mayor's Office, first addressed Mr. Birchfield's comments about the Missler case. She explained that the County is trying to decipher the ramifications of the lawsuit and will be informing the Action Committee as appropriate when information becomes better understood. She stated that there should be no need for the Action Committee to form a special subcommittee to address the issues because, as a matter of proper discourse, the Action Committee should be one of the first parties to be informed. She then asked which Action Committee members will be taking the lead on two Action Committee priorities: the Alii Parkway, and the Kailua Village Redevelopment Plan. Ms. Pisicchio was informed that Committee Member Young and Committee Member Palacat- Nelsen are the subcommittee members for the Alii Parkway project. Committee Member Palacat-Nelsen is also the chair of the Kailua Village Redevelopment plan subcommittee. Ms. Pisicchio explained that she is currently working with the State -formed Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Interagency Council. This Council is tasked with development of a multi -modal transportation plan that could tie-in to the Kailua Village Redevelopment Plan. She would like to increase collaboration between the TOD Council and the Action Committee. The benefit of collaboration could be the potential for obtaining funding through the State Legislature for multimodal transit planning. She presented the CDP's call for preparation of a Kailua Village Redevelopment Plan at the last Transit Oriented Development Interagency Council meeting to gauge interest in considering multimodal transportation for Kailua-Kona as one of the projects the TOD Council would recommend funding.

Curtis Tyler, and George "Keoki" Schattauer for their great contributions to the community over the years they served on the Action Committee and provided them each with Certificates of Appreciation signed by Mayor Harry Kim.
