this program?
Page 6
County Council-38 April 20, 2016
(Note: At this time, Paul Normann of the Neighborhood Place of Puna
came forward to address the Members of the Council.)
MR. NORMANN: I think I said most of what I needed to say earlier. So, our
primary focus is on families with under-aged children. I can tell you that the
majority is close to 90 percent of the families, and they do meet all the criteria to
be eligible. But, in addition to that service, we also do a food pantry, and we are
a community resource. So pretty much
trying to get help; trying to access resources, you know, we will try to connect
them, even if they are not families with under-aged children. So, we see a lot of
where to turn. So, we take hundreds of calls just for people trying to figure out
where to get help.
And far as the services in th
amount of transportation costs and just a lot of incidental expenses as far as
trying to make sure that the families have what they need to raise safe and
healthy children. As I said, it can be anything; tarps, bedding, clothing;
families get stable so they can stand on their own feet, ultimately.
what success to us is. So, appreciate you putting this forward and thank you for
your support.

Report No. 39. Seconded by Mr. Paleka.
MR. ILAGAN: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Council Members, you probably
heard the mixed opinions and comments regarding Bill 184. Mr. Ron Thiel, do
you have any comments regarding some of the testifiers?
MR. THIEL Traffic Division. I heard
the comments. Many comments about the opposition of this bill, and with the
main theme that people wished it would be raised to 45 miles per hour instead of
35 miles per hour.
When we make recommendations on speed limits, we look at several different
aspects of it, or at least five different aspects of this process. One of them is
looking at the speeds of the vehicles, the other one is looking at the terrain, the
fact of the improvements of the road is taken into consideration, the build out, the
residential aspects of the area, the number of accidents.
Many different things are taken into consideration,
recommend raising this stretch from up to 45 is because of the site distance is not
quite there to make it what we determine a safe speed and intersection site
distances for the drivers. So, at this point in time, we are recommending the
35 miles an hour.
MR. ILAGAN: Thank you, Mr. Thiel. As Mr. Thiel addressed, there are some
challenges to raising it from 35 to 45, and I want to make sure the Council
I plan to still be involved in the community to address those visibility problems,
especially on the intersections. And once those are addressed, then I will come
before the Council to increase it to 45. But at this time, there are concerns with
our engineers, so I am going to support Bill 184. And, if you have any further
questions, Mr. Ron Thiel is in Hilo. Thank you.
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you, Mr. Ilagan. Mr. Paleka.

they can jump. They check their IQ and everything.

Now, this equipment is going to be housed at Panaewa Park

of the department, and you know, hopefully we can see some good stuff happening
with our youth through this. So, I ask for your support. Thank you.

that had equipment to measure how fast the serve was. So we had to bring

MR. THIEL: We did have orange flags, the color of construction. They were
walking beyond the sidewalks a lot of the times, so we decided we would change
the color to see if we could have them more secured. They are staying in location

I did
want them to do a lot of keiki programs, and they do that throughout the year and
storage. Where do they store all these table tennis tables, because it does conflict
with the volleyball and basketball, and all the other programs that are currently at
Kekaokalani Gym. But they do put on these bigger tournaments island-wide, so
with these tables it actually helps out, that they can host and sponsor a lot of these
tournaments. So, hopefully, I can get all your support.

plated is a temporary type park right? And I have
hard time putting in money for a temporary park. I mean I just got to be real

the director could look at improvements that were made, including water

Comm. 794.2. Seconded by Mr. Onishi.
CHR. KANUHA: Ms. Wille.
MS. WILLE: Okay, yes, I tried to redraft this consistent with the input from the
Council, and basically, looking at incorporating that language, but not taking out
what was already there. And I thought that was really good. I think that was
really right on.
when you see the language, -range comprehensive,
physical development in the County.
Then, under some concerns, looking over the list of what you had, sort of the
individual items in here. Say, even like the Blue Zone. And so, I really, rather
than going through and evaluate, I basically took all of them out, and left it as it
was. I think the only thing I did, and if you look on
this draft but how it would look finally, on what would be page three, although
-15, General Plan. And how it would
look is that I left in the only wording change. Otherwise I did, was where it says,
Page 59
County Council-38 April 20, 2016
ounty and to promote the general welfare, health, and prosperity of its people,
which is a little bit close to our wording and under the public trust.
So, I think you can see all the changes on page three. How it will look when I
make these changes. So, I basically tried to incorporate what the Council
Members, couple comments by the public, and to also just say, having this kind of
looking at those long-term policy directives and having that be part of the General
Plan is the same as the direction as the State General Plan is going, and more
consistent with thesimilar to the public trust theories. Like how do you look at
things in terms of your policies and your information in lineI think I
incorporated what everyone said. If not, then let me know.
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you, Ms. Wille. Mr. Paleka.
MR. PALEKA: I love the incorporation in 3-15, the long-range policy directives,
and I have no problem with the economic employment, environmental, and social
culture. But I like the ending at the end of that sentence where it comes back to
the general, comprehensive, physical development of the County. Great, great
addition. Good work.
CHR. KANUHA: Ms. David
MS. DAVID: Yes. Mahalo, Chair. Ms. Wille I just wanted to thank you and
commend you, because I think your changes now is more in line in having a
document that allowsthat states it generally, the focus in the General Plan. And
support this.

would be another optionultural wellbeing comma. An addition to the
Council. Or, it could be the other one, which is actually how I first drafted, in

development, and not repeating.

different wording, you know, I finally ended up just going with,
sort of just trying to listen to you. But clearly, .

MR. CHUNG: Mr. Chairman. Yeah, I just wanted to understand, the rationale for

already indicating your willingness to try to look at different ways of doing it. So,
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you, Mr. Chung. Council Members, any other?
Sorry, Ms. Eoff.
MS. EOFF: There might be one way to shorten the sentence if you started it with
the way it already was with, County shall adopt by ordinance the General
Plan which will set forth,, cy for long-range comprehensive
physical development of the County and to advance the economic employment,
environmental and social well-being to advance it. So, I would say we could put
in the sentence and get rid of some of the words, and only say long-range one
time.
MS. WILLE
CHR. KANUHA: Thank you, Ms. Eoff. Council Members, any other discussion
on the amendment?
really understand, as Mr. Chung said, the need for this many words. I think it
could be shortened a little bit, as well. But, I do completely agree with leaving in
the comprehensive physical development and you know, I have no problem

working with our communities, that was sort of how they focused it. You know,
in terms of economic wellbeing, environmental and that, and I reallyspeaking
with Director Kanuha, I said, you know,
We sort of going maybe beyond the envelope. And then I went and studied like
that, well, you need a vision
and you need a goal and then you look at your options. So, I think that it will also
make the General Plan a more meaningful document, and just even the way it
would be organized. So, I would just appreciate your support, and I think adding

out of the Waimea District Park. Can we add that in?
think one of my concerns is what is our budget and what are we moving forward
in terms of repair

limited maintenance crews can handle also. I would just appreciate with this as a
big number and how it would be used if you could help me.

Committee meeting or the special meeting that we had where we listed the

So, some of the candidate projects that would be funded using this particular
appropriation could be utilized or would anticipate it to be utilized, would be
projects such as the Hilo Bayfront Trails project; improvements at the Kuawa
Street Park; Konawaena Swimming P and heating repairs,
Lincoln Park playground surfacing and multiple play components there;
Kamehameha Park and Swimming Complex roof. Those are some of the projects
that we have open bids on and are awaiting funding to be able to move forward
on. In addition to that, we have several projects that are currently out to bid that
again would be candidate projects for funding through this appropriation. Those
would be projects such as the reroofing of the Civic Auditorium; reroofing of
Waimea Community Center; North Kohala Skate Park, the second phase of that.
And in addition to that we also have projects or needs that pop-up unbeknownst to
us such, as I think the one that just came up was we may need to address roof
repairs or roof coating improvements at Wong Stadium at Hoololu Park. And
another use for this appropriation increase would be for supplementing funding
for existing ongoing projects that we anticipate having to do some changes, or
some change orders, to address either scope modifications or additions to the
scope. Such as, we just awarded a bunch of
to identify some potential conflicts and things that we want to resolve to maintain

the potential to use this account for additional funding for a supplement to the

So, going forward, this appropriation would be effective for several fiscal years,
