5. Research financing mechanisms [ex: tax increment financing, and community facilities districts] Chair DeFranco encouraged the Action Committee members to think over their goals in order to continue this discussion at the next meeting. 6. Discussion of a Committee Member proposal to establish a Subcommittee to propose a schedule of community meetings to be held by the Action Committee at various locations in addition to or in conjunction with regular meetings: Committee Member Rabin moved to form a subcommittee to schedule community [Action Committee] meetings. Second by Committee Member Palacat-Nelsen. Committee Member Rabin elaborated further on his intention, which also included creating a means to have video records/broadcasting to give community members another venue for staying informed. Committee members shared concerns about needing a clear purpose for hosting community meetings. Without a clear purpose, and proper meeting organization and facilitation, they feared community members would stop showing up for meetings altogether. Staff suggested that Committee Member Rabin could work on organizing community meetings on his own and because of that he may not need to create a subcommittee for that purpose. Ms. Surprenant suggested that such a task would probably be best left to the Chair of the Action Committee and the administrative planning staff to decide meeting venues when they know they have relevant agenda items for the meeting location. However, help with establishing contact with venue owners is always helpful. Upon the motion to form a subcommittee to schedule community meetings a vote was taken. The motion failed with 1 vote aye and 7 votes nay (one vote kanalua [uncertain] nay). AGENDA FOR NEXT MEETING: (March 13, 2018) 1. Kailua Village Redevelopment Subcommittee Report 2. Kona CDP Amendment Discussion 3. 2018 Goal Setting ADJOURNMENT: The Chair, without objection, adjourned the meeting at 4:37 p.m. All Action Committee information can be viewed and downloaded from our website: http://www.hawaiicountycdp.info/kona-cdp/
