Discussion of a possible 'Building in Kohala' brochure: (This business item was originally item #2 in the agenda order, Chair Hoffmann reordered the item to business item #1) The Action Committee reviewed the 'Building in Puna' brochure. Chair Hoffmann spoke about the various types information included in the brochure and introduced the idea of creating a similar brochure for Kohala. Ms. Gloor stated that the brochure could cover other issues that concern the community such as ethically sourcing rock for rock walls, as there have been issues with companies taking rock from historic heiau sites. It was asked how the brochures would be distributed. Ms. Gloor answered that the idea is to distribute the brochures through various real estate companies as well as the County Planning Department and other County offices pending approval. www.hiplanningdept.com northkohala(dhawaiicounty.zov Page 2
