Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Resolution No. 592-18, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 592-18, transmitted by Dru Mamo Kanuha, via Communication No. 893 dated
April 17, 2018, authorizes the Mayor to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the
United States Department of the Interior National Park Service, and the State of Hawai`i, for the
management of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail.
The agreement would coordinate and clarify the jurisdictional, regulatory and management
actions, and fiduciary responsibilities between the Federal, State, and County governments in
relation to the management of this trail.
Council Member Dru Kanuha gave an overview of what the memorandum of agreement would
accomplish, and stated that the County, State and Federal would need to coordinate management
of the Ala Kahakai trail. Council Member Karen Eoff commented on the importance of
protecting all of the historical trails that we have. All council members voted affirmatively.
Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, County departments must obtain the consent
of the Council to enter into agreements with the Federal or State governments or any other public
body or bodies respecting action to be taken pursuant to any powers granted by law to furnish,
expend, and receive any funds or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be
undertaken pursuant to those powers.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 592-18,
and recommends its adoption.
