in mind, the Action Committee weighed different approaches to creating a priority list, including the potential of creating a budget subcommittee. A Committee member stated that creating a budget subcommittee would take up too much time, and that more immediate action needed to happen. Another suggestion was to reaffirm the priority list made earlier in the year and consider additions. The Committee discussed what might be considered too many priorities as to draw the effectiveness away from important project funding requests. Committee member Payne moved to ask Chair DeFranco to prepare a letter that reaffirms the May [CIP request] letter (from the Kona Action Committee] for the 2018-2019 CIP program [recommendations] and bring it back [to the Action Committee] at the next meeting to at that time discuss if it needs additional modification. Second by Committee member Rabin. Chair DeFranco requested an amendment to add the appropriation for planning an Open Space Network as a priority in this letter. Committee member Payne amended his previous motion to reflect this. Committee member Kimura proposed adding clear language in the letter which reaffirms the Action Committees commitment to ongoing projects, especially in regards to the Department of Public Works, in particular to the Ane Keohokalole Highway extension toward Kaiminani Drive and the Kailua Village Redevelopment project. Committee member Payne restated his motion to request that the Chair prepare a letter that restates the May 4th letter listing projects that [the Action Committee] wants to see allotted funding in the 2018-2019 fiscal year, and that includes support for current Department of Public works projects. Second by Committee member Rabin. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously.

Social Media Outreach Feasibility Report. Staff Santiago presented the new Kona Community Development Plan Facebook page. He stated that at this time it will be used as a way of broadcasting information and not a discussion forum; therefore comments on the page are restricted. He explained that per Sunshine Law Action Committee members are discouraged from engaging in Social Media conversation regarding CDP business but were encouraged to broadcast meeting notices such as time/location and information such as website links. Staff gave the Action Committee an ongoing opportunity to recommend items to post on the Facebook page. Some recommendations included news postings, creating Kona CDP press releases, and announcing when there are anticipated guest speakers and presentations.
