he would support the proposed yellow. He added that this, along with the Kona Brewery project, would revitalize the whole neighborhood. Commissioner Hetherington also commented in support that the yellow columns would give the building its character. He further said that he would strongly encourage the landowner to work with tenants on signage so there would be uniformity. It was moved by Commissioner Kern and seconded by Commissioner Ikeuchi that the Commission forward to the Planning Director a recommendation for approval of the proposed project as submitted. There being no further discussion on the motion, a roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with five ayes (Kern, Ikeuchi, Ching, Hetherington and Sullenberger), one no (Van Pernis) and one absent and excused (Dahlberg). OLD BUSINESS 1. Commission is continuing the discussion of possible creation of Investigatory Committee to address Sign Issues in Kailua Village Special District. Discussion is to identify reasons for committee, scope and assignment of members. The Commission took up this item at 6:12 p.m. Commissioner Van Pernis said that if the Department of Public Works (“DPW”) did not respond to the Commission’s letter in the near future, the Commission would have to do something about Sign Code enforcement. Ms. Bugado reminded the Commissioners that this agenda item was to discuss whether or not the Commission wished to form a committee on signage issues and, if so, to identify the purpose, scope and members, rather than to discuss communication with DPW. Commissioner Van Pernis responded that his comment was covering the possibility of creating a committee. Commissioner Roth recalled that no one had volunteered to become a committee member at one of the previous meetings. Commissioner Van Pernis said that he would be willing to serve on such a committee but not as a leading member. Commissioner Hetherington also said that he would be willing to serve next year. Commissioner Van Pernis commented that together with former Commissioner Theresa Andreae who had also indicated that she would be available next year as a community member, the Commission might be able to create a three-member committee next year. It was moved by Commissioner Kern and seconded by Commissioner Hetherington that the Commission postpone this matter until the first meeting of 2018. There being no further discussion on the motion, a voice vote was taken and the motion carried with Commissioner Van Pernis abstaining. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS None. ANNOUNCEMENTS Next meeting tentatively scheduled for November 7, 2017. 4
