Comm. 279: NOMINATION OF SHANI ARMBRUSTER TO THE LEEWARD PLANNING COMMISSION From Mayor Mitchell D. Roth, dated May 26, 2021, requesting the Council's review and confirmation. Requires Council Confirmation by: July 9, 2021 (Section 134(k), Hawaii County Charter) Motion to Approve: Ms. Lee Loy moved to forward the nomination of Shani Armbruster to Leeward Planning Commission to Council with a positive recommendation. Seconded by Mr. Inaba. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: I believe we had Pomaika`i Bartolome in the Hilo Chambers to introduce the nominee. Pomai, go ahead. (Note: At this time, Executive Assistant to the Mayor Pomaika`i Bartolome came forward to introduce and provide a brief narrative of the nominee's background and experience.) MS. BARTOLOME: Good morning, my name is Pomaika`i Bartolome, Executive Assistant to Mayor Roth, our Administration. And on behalf of Mayor Roth, we are happy and excited; very thankful and grateful to be nominating Shani Armbruster to the appointment of the Leeward Planning Commission. She's a full-time resident of Hawaii County and has been since 2014, bringing a unique perspective to land use issues. She's also excited to be participating in the evolution of healthy, sustainable, Hawaii Island community. She received her Master's degree in urban and Regional Planning with a graduate level research in planning and community resilience, participatory democracy, land restoration and projects to improve access in transportation. She has been employed as a Project Manager at Tinguely Development in Kailua-Kona, whose community projects include the Hawaii Island Humane Society facility, Hawaii Wildlife Center, and the Na Lamaku Emergency Shelter. She is an active member of the American Planning Association and volunteers her time with the Hawaii Island Humane Society and Three Ring Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary. If she is confirmed, she will serve a term to end December 31, 2023. Thank you. Page 2 PC-10 June 15,2021 CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Ms. Bartolome. I also see, I think, Planning Director Zendo Kern in the Hilo Chambers. Director Kern,just want to confirm that you've worked with the Mayor's Office to review and vet this nominee. (Note: At this time, Planning Director Zendo Kern came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MR. KERN: Good morning, Madam Chair. Yes, Zendo Kern here, Planning Director. Yes, we worked with the Mayor's Office in confirming and processing the nominee. Thank you. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Great,thank you. And we have the nominee here present in the Kona Chambers. Ms. Armbruster, if you could come forward. Please introduce yourself for the record and also share with us why you feel compelled to serve in this capacity. Thank you. (Note: At this time, Nominee Shani Armbruster came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MS. ARMBRUSTER: Hi everyone, good morning. My name is Shani Armbruster and thanks so much for your consideration today. I'm really excited about this. I do have a background in participatory democracy and land use planning, primarily from my time at the University of New Orleans. But I moved back to the Big Island in 2014, and I've been really excited to work with Phil Tinguely and sort of participate in the evolution of that company and watch us get to be involved with projects like the Hawaii Wildlife Center; with projects like the Hawaii Island Humane Society, and like Kukuiola right down the street from here. And I wanted to take the next step and maybe spend a bit more of my personal time to help forward the healthy growth of our home. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Ms. Armbruster. Opening it up for questions and comments from my colleagues. Mr. Inaba, you have the floor. MR. INABA: Good morning. I have a few questions. Do you belong to any cultural groups here on the west side of the Hawaii island? MS. ARMBRUSTER: No I don't. MR. INABA: Okay. With regards to your Master's Degree, can you share a little bit about the environmental and hazard mitigation planning? It shows that's your specialty. Page 3 PC-10 June 15,2021 MS. ARMBRUSTER: Absolutely, absolutely. So I always intended to go back to school and then, you know, the economy went crazy back in the 2000's and it seemed like a good opportunity. It was also post-Katrina, and the University of New Orleans was offering a Hazard Mitigation Planning program. It was an incredible opportunity to learn and participate in the regrowth of one of our most historic and unique and incredible places. So I elected to do that. And is a really unique program there. We focused on how communities build back stronger and healthier. There's so much history in New Orleans. There's so much passion for how that city exists, but obviously something went terribly wrong. And we really want to prevent that from happening ever again. So that was what the program was really focused on, is how do you allow communities to continue and to thrive, but in a more thoughtful and healthy way. MR. INABA: Thank you. And what is your vision for Kona and the greater West Hawaii region? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. So we have this thing in planning, they are called strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats. And I think Kona has some of the most incredible strengths and opportunities in its beautiful location. And it's just the spirit of the place. But we also were uniquely limited in that we don't have resources here. We're a long way from everything, and what we have is kind of what we have. And so I think it's really important that going forward, we're cognizant of that. That we don't just allow things to continue in a we'll deal with it later fashion. I think we have to deal with it now because we only have so much space, we only have so much water, we only have limited food that's not brought in, we only have limited jobs in the tourism sector right now. So I think it's really important to take a bigger picture look at our community and how we really can continue to grow, but taking advantages of the strengths that we have. MR. INABA: Thank you. And in referencing one of the testifier's concerns, how do you see this kuleana if you were to be on the Leeward Planning Commission intersecting with your current profession? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Absolutely. So, I mean I think there is a little bit of maybe misunderstanding as to what Tinguely redevelopment does. We are very proud of what we do, but we are a boutique infill developer. We don't come in and do these massive master plan concepts that alter the community. We take small sites that are already surrounded by growth and we try and find something that really seems appropriate for that location. Page 4 PC-10 June 15,2021 So, yes, there could be a time when there's an active project that I'm involved in that would be reviewed, and I would certainly need to step aside from that. But I think the global goal of the community is one that Tinguely Development shares, and I'm working really hard to make sure that that continues. MR. INABA: Thank you. And it says here in your application, Nancy Carr Smith is one of your references. What is your relationship to her? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. So Nancy worked with us as a broker representative for Waimea Parkside, one of our developments. She's also a friend and our personal realtor. MR. INABA: Got it. Okay, last question for now. You said you moved back to the Big Island in 2014. So did you grow up here? MS. ARMBRUSTER: So I lived here 2003 to 2009. And then the company I was working for closed and I went back to school. MR. INABA: Got it. Thank you so much. Chair, I yield. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Mr. Inaba. Anyone else? Ms. Kimball. MS. KIMBALL: Thank you, Chair. Welcome, thank you for being here today. I just have some questions out of curiosity. I notice that in your background, especially being in a place like New Orleans, which definitely felt the effects of climate change, how would you incorporate the expected impacts of climate change in Hawaii into the commission's workings? MS. ARMBRUSTER: I'm sorry, could you repeat that? MS. KIMBALL: My question was how would you incorporate the expected impacts of climate change into your work as a commissioner on the Planning Commission? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure, I mean Iunfortunately, this is something that is happening and it is something that we're going to experience, especially as a community with such extensive coastal frontage. So I think there are a couple different things that we face there. There are homes and there are businesses that exist. And I think we need to find a way to make sure that we are able to best support the people that are already here. But additionally, I think going forward, there may be are some things we just need to recognize and that there's going to be coastal intrusion. Perhaps the sea levels will be rising. Perhaps the rain patterns will be changing. And those really do need to be taken into account with any future growth or development. Page 5 PC-10 June 15,2021 MS. KIMBALL: Great. Thank you. And my other question, your application mentioned some expertise with regards to transportation as well. And you know, that's a big challenge for a big island with a small population relatively. And mass transit is key issue. So how do you think development decisions should take transportation into account? And looking at also with trying to reduce vehicle miles traveled, as an example. MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure, sure, I mean as a planner, we all love density. We love mixed use. You know they're like our buzz words, gets us all excited. But that's not necessarily appropriate for Kona; that's not necessarily appropriate for the Big Island. However, I do think that we need to focus on having some hubs with access to jobs, with access to resources. And perhaps look at that as our growth model going forward. Right now, I drive 40 miles a day to get to work. And that's not, you know, that's not great. That's time and that's use of the roads, and that's use of gasoline. It's just not really a system that's sustainable for everyone, and probably not what's best for the community. So I think finding a way to sort of reallocate how things are set up. And I do think that things like promote work, which is becoming a new thing. I think that has a potential to really help us here. As people can work from home more, and perhaps that they're not so reliant on our cars to get around. And then they become more of like an accessory instead of a necessity for life here. MS. KIMBALL: Thank you for that. And just a final question. You know, a lot of what we heard today from testifiers was preserving the character, if you will, of this side of the island. What are your thoughts on that with respect to your proposed role on the Planning Commission and the Community Development Plan for this area? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. I mean I think every community has an identity. And Kona and the Big Island has a very strong and special identity and that's important. But I do think things evolve, and I think they need to evolve in a way that reflects the identity of this place. But trying to stay exactly how things are, exactly how things wereI don't know that that's necessarily the right choice to make either. MS. KIMBALL: Follow-up on that, why? Just, on that last statement. MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. So communities that don't evolve, they stagnate and they don't remain healthy. They don't get to take advantage of the best health resources. They don't get to take advantage of the best education resources. They don't maybe necessarily have the healthiest buildings or the Page 6 PC-10 June 15,2021 healthiest transportation. And I think that there are ways if you're careful and you're thoughtful, that you're able to integrate some of this new research and new benefits, but still maintain the identity of a place. MS. KIMBALL: Great. Thank you for your responses. I yield, Chair. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Ms. Kimball. Chair David. MS. DAVID: Mahalo, Chair. Aloha and welcome. Thank you for being here this morning. And just have a few questions. You mentioned in your application, a vision of healthy and sustainable community. Could you explain that in your perspective what that means? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Absolutely. Thank you. So we haveI know, I sound like a broken record, but we're so blessed here with what we have with our beautiful home and with the health and the sunshine and the ocean. We have so many strengths here that I really think that it's important that we keep focused on those with our future growth. I think it's important that we recognize all the special aspects of this island and this place that we live, and make sure that our future looks at that and doesn't take a model that works somewhere else and try and reallocate, reappropriate it here because places aren't the same. And something that's wonderful in Singapore is not going to be wonderful here. MS. DAVID: Thank you. And you mentioned the identity of this place. What is that identity in your mind? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. I mean I think it's obviously, physically beautiful and that's sort of goes without saying. But I think looking back to the original people that they were explorers. They were discoverers. People who came across the ocean just looking for something, and they found this place and a culture evolved here. And then it was discovered by other people which really wasn't necessary. You know,there's terrible patterns there, but I think the underlying pattern is people going out into the world looking for something and they keep finding this tiny little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and it speaks to people in a really sort of magical way. MS. DAVID: And also the strength and opportunities that you, in the planning perspective, what would those be? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. So, I mean I think the natural resources that we have here are incredible. I think the fact that we have really brilliant people here looking at how solar can be utilized in a way going forward or how hydrogen can be used in a way going forward. Or how different sustainable fishing techniques can be implemented, or agriculture that actually works with modern technology to allow people to make it profitable here. And I think that keeping focused on Page 7 PC-10 June 15,2021 how we can really take advantage of what's special about this place and integrate it with things that other people are discovering in other places, or things that people are discovering here. MS. DAVID: Thank you. And are you aware that, you know, West Hawaii for one thing, and this island, in general, has been basically the heart of land use decisions and Supreme Court decisions that basically ratify the culture here and government's duty to preserve and protect cultural practices and traditions. And are you familiar with the Planning Department's responsibility in upholding the provisions of those two land use landmark Supreme Court decisions in the process? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Yes. I do understand that's part of the process. MS. DAVID: Okay. And so your idea as far as development in that respect, how would you view the economics of preservation of culture and moving forward with economics in a development situation? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure, sure. So, I mean I believe that there's certainly stakeholders here with much more personal knowledge and experience that I would lean on for guidance for that. That said, I certainly believe that the history of this island and the culture of this island is a big chunk of what creates its identity. And making sure that those stakeholders are involved in the communication, and that is something that is maintained going forward, is critical to keeping this from turning into some sort of generic something. MS. DAVID: Thank you. I think I'm done for now. I yield. Thank you, Chair. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Chair David. Anyone else? Ms. Villegas, go ahead. MS. VILLEGAS: Let Mr. Richards. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you. Mr. Richards, you have the floor. MR. RICHARDS: Thank you, Ms. Armbruster. You're in my district, and I haven't met you yet, so I look forward to sitting down and talking story with you. Couple of things, you referenced to Three Rings Ranch. What's your relationship there? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. So I used to live in Kona and I volunteered very regularly when I was down here. I'm less active now that I've been back in Waimea for a few years. But, yeah, I was out there cleaning up after the critters and hanging out with all the fun little monsters. Page 8 PC-10 June 15,2021 MR. RICHARDS: And so does that also tie in to the Hawaii Island Humane Society as well, because that's basically the same kind of work? MS. ARMBRUSTER: It is. I mean the Hawaii Island Humane Society is certainly much more public focused and it's on a much larger scale. But absolutely, you know, I have a soft spot for animals and it's kind of like it's where I tend to focus my time. MR. RICHARDS: But, Three Rings does a great job on what they're doing and so, I appreciate you helping out over there. I've been involved with that for decades now, I guess. So, shifting over to the actual Leeward Planning side, affordable housing, huge need, growing, and we're not doing a good enough job. What's your thoughts on how we approach that? MS. ARMBRUSTER: That is a great question and it is a tricky solution. I mean, it's absolutely necessary. Obviously the housing here is becoming less and less affordable. It seems like by the day, and we certainly do need to step in and find, I believe a way through perhaps regulation or oversight to bolster the affordable housing opportunities that are offered here. Obviously,just relying on the market isn't working. So,there certainly areI mean I believe we need to approach it sort of multiple ways. I believe there needs to be incentives for private people to actually take that on to a greater extent than it currently is being done. I think there's some programs that can be leveraged on maybe a State or Federal level to perhaps to take that on from a government side of things. And I think perhaps we need to look at all of those and doing all of those as soon as possible, because it's not getting any better. MR. RICHARDS: Yeah, and I appreciate the fact that, I agree, it's not going to be a one size fits all. It's not going to be a single solution, it's going to be a fabric of different programs going forward. So that is huge, you know, I listened to all your history of the island. When Chair Maile and I were born in this County, we had one third the population and the building of our affordable housing is not keeping up. In fact, it's lagging way behind. So I appreciate your thought process on that. Chair, I yield. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Mr. Richards. Ms. Villegas. MS. VILLEGAS: Aloha, Ms. Armbruster, thank you for being here today. Thank you for your willingness to serve. And as I'm sure you're well aware, this is a heightened time of real interest and attention being paid to who and how people are placed on our Leeward Planning Commission. Page 9 PC-10 June 15,2021 I guess my first question, and you may have answered it already, but I would just ask again, what is your understanding of the responsibility of sitting on the Leeward Planning Commission? MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure, so my understanding is that we are one of the guiding opportunities for the future growth and development of the west side of Hawaii. Certainly, we're not the end-all. There are lots of people involved in the process, but having that committee of people with diverse backgrounds and perhaps different ideas or different thoughts on that future, I think is important to continuing the discussion and making sure that different ideas, different thoughts, different processes are included in that discussion. MS. VILLEGAS: So you would understand the concerns expressed by different constituents of the west side, with their desire to have a very diverse group of people on this Leeward Planning Commission, and their concerns about it being tilted to the side, potentially of reflecting the desires of developers. MS. ARMBRUSTER: Absolutely, I understand their concerns. I don't necessarily agree that I am tilted. I could see how people would think so. But, I mean I'm a tree hugger, and I'm a, you know, a child of hippies. It's, I know who I am, and I believe that I bring a unique perspective and an experienced background that would be unique. But I do see their concerns. MS. VILLEGAS: Thank you. I appreciate you acknowledging that because I can tell that about you. And I really appreciate that you are a part of the American Planners Association, and you have pursued an education in helping communities and are a professional in those fields. Because as I've stated during other Committee and Councils, you can have a depth of education and knowledge in planning versus just development. Correct? There is a difference between the thought processes and how that affects a community. Whether or not it's about the bottom line of a development opportunity versus the long-term planning for a community. And the betterment of that community. I do also just want to there's just little ticklers that I feel like in this odd role that I have of sitting in this position of being kind of a filter. And you know, we have these ideals of who the perfect person would be to sit on the Leeward Planning Commission. Many of those people don't want to do it because it's quite a position. And you join us with having a target, and being a potential consistent point for criticism. And we'd like to keep it constructive, but it doesn't always hit that way. But I justa reminder is that here our economy is so skewed and as we Page 10 PC-10 June 15,2021 recognized through COVID is that we're over-reliant on construction and tourism. And both of those industries do not allow for remote work. So it's one of the challenges of looking at the positive silver lining versus the potential as we unfortunately can be prone to just go back to what we were doing prior. I call it the time of the `Rona, the Coronavirus. So keeping that in mind and just having a sensitivity about a colonial mindset that I'll admit, that my ancestors, you know, colonized this place. And so, there's a sensitivity and a necessity, especially as we are navigating paths back from what has been exposed as our extreme and severe vulnerability. And as Chair David mentioned, historically West Hawaii has been seen as kind of the breadbasket for the island when it comes from development, in that capacity. And as Council Member Richards mentions about affordable housing and this paradigm that continues to evade us. But not just us, every community. I don't know of any municipality that's like, we nailed affordable housing and this is how it happens. This is the equation. And we have even a higher challenge because the value of our property is so extraordinarily inflated. So I also would just—for comments, I appreciated what Council Member Kimball mentioned about climate change, and global warming, and sea level rise. And the comments of perhaps that will happen, and I would just encourage you. I think we're passed the point of perhaps. We're actually having to look at the means to mitigate. And in a role of participating in any form of planning, we have to prioritize the science, and make sure we aren't approving more developments close to the coastline, and we're looking at how we already are going to have to move our infrastructure, not just buildings. So just some of the things that come to mind. I just have one more quick question. And I'm not sure how much research you've done into the current membership of the Leeward Planning Commission. And what is your experience and ability to work with somebody with different needs for their communication skills and styles. Because if you—or had you, or we're all aware of somebody that currently serves on the Leeward Planning Commission that there have been some challenges regarding that. And the person listed on your reference here is someone who is adamantly opposed to that other member's participation on the commission. So I have just some questions around what your understanding is of that. MS. ARMBRUSTER: Sure. So I'm not super aware of the current membership. But with that said, I believe that's one of my strengths. I've always worked with a diverse group of people, many of whom are at polar extremes in their thought process or in what they expect to have happen. And it's not always successful. You know, we don't always find a solution that works for everybody, but I am Page 11 PC-10 June 15,2021 very comfortable working with groups like that. It's what I've done for most of my professional career. MS. VILLEGAS: Thank you. I appreciate your answers on that. And just as a reminder, here on the Big Island I know we have a tendency to say that, all boats rise in a rising tide. But on this island, you know, on the west side, we tend to have people with more boats. But really, as we look at the greater population of this island, if you don't have a boat, you can't rise with the tide. And so that's something as we look at equity for our island, and as it does relate to development and planning that I think is imperative. So I appreciate what I can tell is a kind heart. And I appreciate Tinguely Development. I have met with them and seen the new Humane Society, which is exceptional and I'm very much looking forward to Kukuiola. But I also recognize the sensitivity of our constituents in wanting to insure that the representation on the Leeward Planning Commission is equitable and balanced and fair. So thank you for being here and for your willingness to endure these questions. I yield. CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Vice Chair Villegas. Anyone else? Further questions or comments? Mr. Inaba. MR. INABA: Yeah, this question is for Director Kern. Director Kern, have you had any working relationship with our nominee in your prior profession? MR. KERN: No, not at all. I did not know her prior to seeing her name as one of the potential applicants for this position. MR. INABA: Okay, thank you. I just want to go back. Thank you for, I would say, to-the-point answers that really give insight into the perspective you hold. I did speak with the Mayor's Office this week. Just a little concerned. We have two vacancies on the commission right now. One is the South Kohala seat that you're being nominated for. The At-Large, North or South Kohala seat. Like one of the testifiers mentioned, I believe there are seven other applications that have been filed with the Mayor's Office at this time. One of those being Ku`ulei Keakealani from Waimea, someone who doesn't have the education background that you bring here for sure, but someone whose ohana has connections and is a master in mo`olelo of this place. So I just want to put that on the record, and you know, it makes me a little concerned that that application has been with the Mayor's Office for a little bit, and I'm hoping to see it come before us. But thank you for being willing to serve our community here. Chair, I yield. Page 12 PC-10 June 15,2021 CHR KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. Thank you, Mr. Kern and Ms. Bartolome for your presence today. Thank you, Ms. Armbruster for being here and for putting your name forward in wanting to serve in this capacity. I really appreciate your credentials, your education, your experiences; the innovation you're bringing to the conversation without compromising sense of place and the identity of Kona and Hawaii in general. You recognize the challenges we face with climate change, with affordable housing. But I really appreciate your ability to look forward towards solutions and harnessing our assets, and going from an assets-based approach. And just really understanding the responsibility you hold serving potentially as a commissioner. The responsibility to folks right now, but also to future generations, so thank you.
