Mr. Hansen explained to Your Committee that he is serving on this Commission because he has
seen the traffic worsen in Kailua and decided to "come out and see what I could do to help my
community solve some of these problems".
Mr. Pilago explained that the Commission needs to work on positive things to reach the goals,
that optimism is a key factor.
Ms. Hurlbut explained that the Commission will be the key to keeping the area strong and
vibrant. She further explained that Kailua Village is a central location for people to gather and
that it has its own distinct personality and she would like to keep it as such.

Kailua is an attractive area for growth and she would like to see families use the pier for fishing
and other activities.
Your Committee on Planning recommends the approval of the appointments of
