DELIMA: Right. I'm just trying to take advantage of the powers that the agency has for the benefit of the public. But we need to involve the Planning Department, and the people who live there, and etcetera, etcetera, so. Any other questions? Okay. So, thank—Mary. BEGIER: What is the mechanism to make sure that ideas that were discussed at the numerous Agency meetings that have been held and the plan that was put forth about what we want, what we would like the future of Banyan Drive to look like. What mechanism exists to make sure that the Land Board at the State level is cognizant of that and takes it into consideration in their decision-making. HEIT: I don't know if there's a mechanism in place, but anything we do take to the Board we also, I think, I think it's been proven every submittal we've brought, we brought to the Board has included mention of this agency, and participation of it, so the Board is aware of it. The chairperson, Suzanne Case, is, has attendance of the meetings so BEGIER: Thank you. HEIT: Yeah, we are aware of it. BEGIER: Okay. My concern is that we talked about climate change, global warming, whatever people are comfortable calling it, and I just would like to have it on record that we, as an agency, are aware of the need to look at that coastline. So when we're talking about issuing new leases, or revocable permits, or whatever, that we would when we looked at those ideas we would keep that in mind. HEIT: Oh, absolutely. BEGIER: Thank you. DELIMA: And then another thing, Lucas, perhaps the next agenda we could also have a report from the Planning Department on the, on the General Plan amendments. Because I think Mr. Bockrath raising the question of what—we voted in October, what does it mean, and we've asked in a previous meeting what the status of the because that would require a General Plan amendment. And MEAD: Yeah, we actually have, we'll be doing a presentation on the General Plan Comprehensive Review at the next meeting. So we have that scheduled already, and we have our planners gearing up for that presentation. DELIMA: Okay great. And that would kind of address Mr. Bockrath's testimony today. Okay, so let's move on. I'm sorry, but the plan—we're not taking any action on things that I've commented on. It's going to be on a future agenda, so you can comment at the next meeting because we're in the part of the agenda where we now are at administrative matters. At this time Chairman DeLima directed the Agency to the agenda item Administrative Matters. Page 8 of 10 Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency July 26,2017 Minutes
