Committee Member Emeliano stated that he would like to emulate much of the verbiage used in the 'Building in Puna' brochure for the 'Kohala brochure', as the two communities share many of the same ideals. Committee Member Hoyt suggested that the 'Kohala brochure' have a much broader approach than just building in Kohala, and focus on a variety of issues like roadways, shoreline public access, and other topics of interest for the Kohala region. It was suggested that the brochure focus on topics such as coqui frogs and fire ants as well. It was also suggested that the brochures be made available for distribution at title and escrow companies. Committee Member Ney suggested that an infrastructure map be included within the brochure to help potential buyers be more aware of the availability of infrastructure in areas they may be looking to purchase land. Community Member, David Tarnas, suggested that the brochure recognize and promote the respect of sacred cultural sites. Community Member, Toni Withington, suggested that the section about building permits be reduced in the 'Kohala Brochure' and be replaced by more concerning topics for the Kohala region. Committee Member Blake volunteered to start writing a working draft template for the 'Kohala Brochure'. Committee Members Blake and Hoyt will work together to craft a draft working version of the 'Kohala Brochure'. Committee Member Hoyt suggested that the brochure be titled 'Welcome to North Kohala'.
