Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Communication No. 1102, reports as follows:
Communication No. 1102, submitted by Mayor William P. Kenoi dated September 27, 2016, nominates
Enock Freire to the Water Board, for a four-year term to end on December 31, 2020.
Mr. Freire was not present. Mr. Kanuha said it would be nice if he were there. Mr. Kanuha noted that
Mr. Freire had served on the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission (from 2011 to 2014). Mr. Kanuha had some questions about his tenure and about
Mr. Freire's plans for the Water Board.
Both Mr. Kanuha and Ms. Wille noted that they had heard concerns from residents about Mr. Freire, and
that it is important to hear from him. Ms. Wille said that she does not know him personally. She said she
supports moving the nomination forward but reserves judgment until he appears before the Council.
Mr. Freire is required to be present at the November 2, 2016 Council meeting.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Communication No. 1102, and
recommends confirmation of the appointment of Enock N. Freire to the County of Hawaii Water Board.
