Is there anyone else wishing to testify? Okay, seeing or hearing none, I'm going to close testimony at this time. We have to make some decisions, so I'm going to ask you for your feedback. We have Bill 170 here. Is Aaron Stene here? I was told that he would have liked us to take this up in case there was any questions before he has to leave. Seeing that he's not here, we also have a presentation from Parks and Recreation. And we need to decide on whether or not we should take our Mass Transit presentation first and then go back to this, or have the presentation now while the community is here. Cheryl, when do you have to leave? Oh, excuse me. MS. POINDEXTER: Madam Chair, can I just put in my two cents? I think because they're all here and just testified, I think we should just roll right into Parks and Rec since its all fresh. And our Director is here, Roxcie is here, and I Page 2 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 think Maurice was around too. So my opinion is to flow right into it instead of breaking, if that's okay. CHR. RUGGLES: Okay, thank you. Does that work for you Mrs. Herkes? MS. HERKES: Sure. CHR. RUGGLES: Okay, great. Then I think we have to take a five minute recess to get set up. MR. HENRICKS: Yes, for the presentation? Correct. CHR. RUGGLES: Okay, great. Well we're going to recess for five minutes. Recess: At 3:16 p.m., the Chair called for a recess. Reconvene: The meeting reconvened at 3:20 p.m. CHR. RUGGLES: Okay, Council Members, we're going to get started. I'm going to call this meeting back to order, at 3:20 p.m. Excuse me, Clerk, what is the communication number for the presentation? MR. HENRICKS: I believe it's being numbered now, it will be 991.2. CHR. RUGGLES: Okay, great, we'll just go ahead and move forward with this. We have Deputy Messina and Director Waltjen here. Thank you for being here, and for preparing this presentation. It's been courteous of you to allow us public conversation. (Note: At this time, Parks and Recreation Director Roxcie Waltjen and Deputy Director Maurice Messina came forward to address the members of the Committee.) COMMUNI- The Chair directed the Committee to proceed to the next order of business, CATIONS: Communications. Comm. 991: REQUESTS DISCUSSION WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT RELATING TO THE NA HOA HOLOMOKU OF HAWAII YACHT CLUB AND THE REMOVAL OF THE CLUB'S SAILBOATS FROM HILO BAYFRONT From Council Member Jen Ruggles, dated July 12, 2018 and Comm. 991.1: From Council Member Jen Ruggles, dated July 31, 2018, offering a revised title to accurately reflect the contents of discussion for this agenda item. Page 3 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 Motion to Close File: Ms. Poindexter moved to close file on Comm. 991. Seconded by Ms. Lee Loy. CHR. RUGGLES: Go ahead. MS. WALTJEN: First of all, I'd like to thank the group back here. Because they have been providing sailing lessons, sailing classes, education regarding sailing for the past 30-40 years. And they moved from site to site. And you know what, I'm really sorry that they did not have an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) executed all these years. There have been several conversations with past Administrations, and it never went forth. But I got a call from the Mayor's Office that said, "Hey, did you take a look down at Hilo Bayfront?" And there was a big pile of trash that was piled up over there. He said, "Go down there and take a look, and clean it up." So we went down, we got that part cleaned up and when we moved all that trash that was there the bottom of that trash was so contaminated it was starting to smoke, and that's how bad it was, okay. Right next to that was the Sailing Club's area. When we looked at the Sailing Club's area, you know, we thought there was a MOU with that. Upon investigation and going through files and everything, we found there was no current MOU. So trying to be efficient we had a meeting with the group, and said, "Hey, come on in, let's do an MOU. Let's get a safe place, a place that you can call your own for your group to continue its club's activities." Now the MOU that was drafted is the standard MOU that we use with all our partnerships, and all our different clubs. I think we have one with the Honoka`a Arena, we have one with the tennis clubs out in Kona, the tennis clubs in Hilo. We have one with different recreational activities, recreational programs, with different cultural programs. We have them also with some of our different sports activities. So it's a standard MOU that we use for everyone. Mr. Olson, I'd like to thank you very much for giving us the history of the sailing, because he came to our first meeting. And he is the one who enlightened us about how many directors they have talked to, and no MOU was ever developed. And that's why we took on this challenge of getting an MOU developed. But in the process when I went down there and took a look at the place, you know, I saw how substandard it was. I saw that there were homeless living in there, I saw that they had things stolen from them. I also saw that there was drug paraphernalia in there, as we found on our different fields and our different recreational facilities. And that was the reason that we had wanted to go in and do a mass cleanup and restoration project. And one of the restoration projects was to get rid of all that opala that was on the ocean front from the big king tides that we had. And big Page 4 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 surprise, we're having king tides again this week. So with that we did draft an MOU, and I want to show you what we're going to do with that park down there, okay. So that you all understand. If you take a look at the video, this is the sailboat area where all of the sailboats got removed. Yesterday we had this picture taken, this area here (referring to pictures displayed on screen; see Comm.991.2). The trees that you see there, they're all going to be topped. And some of the branches are going to be trimmed, so that you will have a better place to park your boats. You will also have a better area to hold your classes. Because I've been down there when you do your classes. You kind of like have a tarp and you have people sitting on that side, right next to the big tree that's up on the hill. That's not a very safe place, okay. I foresee something a little bit better for the people taking classes, and for that whole area. Maurice? MR. MESSINA: Maurice Messina, Deputy Director of Parks. Not sure where the information came that we were kicking out the Sailing Club, all we ever wanted was a month to clean it up. When we brought down our tree crew to look at the trees, they suggested that we take off large portions of the top of the trees. It would not be safe to keep the boats there while we do that, not at all. Also Roxcie was even talking about doing like more of a permanent structure out there for them to do their classes. I'm a Navy Veteran. I love the ocean, I love the sea. We are a 100 percent supportive of this group. Unfortunately whatever it was out there that said we were kicking them out, that is not our plan. Our plan is, number one, to make it safe for them; and number two is a way for us to help the Police. And that is when everything gets put back, we want to make it to where when the Police do a drive-by patrol over there they can see inside the facility. Because our Parks guys get calls in the night for drug usage and for homeless people in the boats that we have to go down and take care of. So we want to make safe for them, we want to make it safe for the children. And like Roxcie said, this Administration is going to ensure an MOU is completed. It's good for both sides. It protects the liability for the County, and it also helps the group there. If it wasn't for this lobby event, we would have probably had this MOU executed three months ago. We originally had a meeting with Matt Cooper set up, but we had to cancel it when we had to go open the shelters. So just want to let all of them know that whoever they got that information from, it has never been our intent to ever keep them out permanently. And the MOU, it even states the exact days that we were requesting to do the clean-ups. So we appreciate everything that they're doing, we see the kids out there and it's a great thing, and we hope they keep it up. Page 5 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 CHR. RUGGLES: Is your presentation finished? Okay, great. Go ahead, Ms. Poindexter. MS. POINDEXTER: Yeah. And I want to thank you, thank Parks and Rec. Because I know I've heard, I've gotten some emails and some questions about kicking them out and whatever. And I know I met with you months ago about this, so I knew what was going on. My question is, there was a testifier who stated, you know, they didn't like the ownership part in the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding). But isn't it difficult, because we had some pictures of boats that were left like this on the beach. MR. MESSINA: So originally when the Mayor called Roxcie, he wanted us to go down and clean up the area. So when we went down there to take pictures, we did see that these boats were down there. And so we contacted the sailing club and asked them about this, and they were real good about getting it out of there and cleaning it up. Because when the Mayor goes down there, and the Managing Director goes down there, this is what they were seeing. All the good things that are happening, but they are also seeing this and they're seeing the drug paraphernalia; and the needles and stuff like that. So we had one chance to basically get everything out, get it all cleaned up at one time. If you go down there right now and you look at it, it's a beautiful piece of land. Now as far as ownership goes, if there is a tidal wave, it there's something that releases one of these boats, it goes into the canoes, it goes out onto the highway. We need to be able to know who that boat belongs to. I can't even think of a way to get around it. Any property that is owned, our property, we need to know who it belongs to. MS. POINDEXTER: Right. And I agree with the County on this part. Because of the liability, the ownership it's like us owning cars or even motor bikes on the highways. I mean everybody's got to get registered, you take an ownership. Did they claim ownership to these boats, or did they know who the owners of these boats that were left there were? MS. WALTJEN: Well some of the boats they did not know who they belonged to, and some of the boats they were like boats for spare parts that people just left there that they could use for spare parts. So you know well that's what Mr. Olson said at the meeting. MS. POINDEXTER: So wait, Roxcie. Later on if I have questions I can call you up? MS. WALTJEN: Okay. MS. POINDEXTER: No, but go ahead. Page 6 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 MS. WALTJEN: And the other thing on the ownership thing, okay, as far as for whatever is on the beach, Parks and Recreation is in charge of the beach. When the boats go into the water, the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) takes on the responsibility of controlling that. Now the Hilo Bay is quite a unique area, because part of that property is Parks and Recreation, the County of Hawaii. And part of the property on the far right side, if you're facing this way down belongs to DLNR. So that's why you have a difference of ownership. We do not have access to the ownership, or registration forms of DLNR, okay. And that's why whatever property sits on the property of County of Hawaii, we need to know who owns it. MS. POINDEXTER: Right. So I just want to say, thank you to Parks and Rec for working with them. I'd like to, you know—and young man, I know you're shaking your head no, but you were a great testifier and you were brilliant. But please just listen. And what I want to share is, I had a lot of projects that I had to work with Parks and Rec, and we came to the table, we're working on MOUs. But there's what we call a compromise, you know, so what I would ask is that when you do the negotiations, Parks and Rec, what I see is trying to be of service to our people. So the clubs out there, even in Hamakua, our rodeo clubs that we're working with, we're learning how to work with aloha, that aloha sprit, and making sure we can come to a good compromise. Because there's no absolute in everything. You can want the world but we may not be able to give you the world. But we can meet you half way, where there can be a win-win situation. And I definitely support the club and your efforts, and what you do for community, definitely. But there is also things we've got to work around, and making sure that our liability and things don't cost the tax payers more money later down the road because we didn't cross our is and dot our is in the MOU. And thank you, Parks and Rec, for even doing the MOU and finally getting something done, so that we can continue to have that partnership with the sailing clubs. And for the sailing clubs, thank you for coming out today. Thank you for letting us know what was going on with you, and how you were feeling. All I ask is that now we work together with a good spirit and for a win-win situation, so thank you. And young man, you were great in your testimony. Whoever is your dad, yeah, awesome job. CHR. RUGGLES: Council Member Lee Loy. MS. LEE LOY: Thank you, Chair. And maybe Mr. Yoshimoto might be able to help me out on some of this, because I just kind of want to get back to some other due diligence of this parcel. How large is this particular area that the club is looking to establish the MOU with? Page 7 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 MS. WALTJEN: Right now, I don't have that information. But it's a parcel. That whole parcel right there that was on the picture, it's equivalent to the other halaus that are there. MS. LEE LOY: So similar in size to all the other canoe halaus that we have along the beach. MS. WALTJEN: Yes. MS. LEE LOY: Now this particular area has been executive ordered over to the County, which is separate and apart from the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Is that correct? MS. WALTJEN: Yes, absolutely. MS. LEE LOY: So under the executive order, who becomes responsible for any improvements to this particular area? Is it a County, or is it partnership between the County just like the canoe halaus? How does that work? MS. WALTJEN: It's supposed to be the County of Hawaii, and we would do the partnerships. MS. LEE LOY: So is it like maybe something like establishing a friends of that area, would that help? MS. WALTJEN: That could be one way that could be worked out. Or you know, a similar kind of arrangement like how we have with the halaus. MS. LEE LOY: One thing that I know is critically important for the canoe halaus is the water. And for sailors the same thing, you've got to wash down your equipment. What is the water availability in that area? MS. WALTJEN: We would have to check on that. But I do know that there is water available on the higher level, on the back part near the road area. And we can certainly look at that. MS. LEE LOY: One thing that I worked on along with the canoe halaus was an overall master plan, which established not only the bathroom uses but water for all of the canoe halaus. And maybe as an opportunity through this establishment of a friends of the park agreement along with the MOU, for them to engage with canoe halaus so that we can have a larger overall master plan, because water is really critical down there. Is that something you and the other stakeholders can? Page 8 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 MS. WALTJEN: Absolutely. That is something that we need to look at. Because when that master plan was developed, as you can see we have a very small bathroom there. I think there was like two or three stalls. And that's why whenever you do large scale events like the world sprints and like the large canoe regattas, you're bringing in 10 to 12 portable toilets. And it's a challenge with the tides. If the tides come in, and you know, now whenever you do any bathrooms it's going to have to be septic tanks, and it's going to have to be moved away from the shoreline area. So all of those factors will come into play. And yes, absolutely all of those things would come into play. MS. LEE LOY: You mentioned that part of the movement, had to do a lot with the tree and the tree trimming. Is that going to be part of a larger scope throughout the MOU, that once a year there's tree trimming? And is there a plan for them throughout that MOU to look at other areas maybe not so far away, where they could maybe move to Reeds Bay? MS. WALTJEN: We're always open to, you know, if anybody wants to adjust where they are, we're open to that. As far as for the maintenance, yes. Right now we're looking at trimming the trees to not interfere with what's going on, but make it a safer place. Because some of those tree branches are reaching the ground, and it created quite a dark area. So when it's night time and there's no lights down there, we don't know what's going on down there. When the police drive through, we want them to be able to see so that they can have a little better view as far as for securing that area and the boats and participants there. MS. LEE LOY: Thank you, Maurice and Roxcie. I think we have some good bones here. It sounds like everybody has to get back to the table. But to the sailing club, I would also like to offer for you folks to engage with the Banyan Drive Redevelopment Agency. Although they're focused on just Banyan Drive, the connection between Banyan Drive and Downtown Hilo is a critical link. And you guys could actually have a voice on making that connectivity work better, along with Bayfront Parks and Trailways. They were the ones that developed the walking path that was intended to connect the harbor to Banyan Drive to Downtown Hilo, and provide a pedestrian walking path. So if you guys are looking for more stakeholders, where you guys could have a larger collaborative vision of all of Hilo Bay, and then even connect that to our shops down in Hilo, I really think there would be a huge opportunity for not only families to thrive but business opportunities also. I'm going to leave it there, I really think there are some good bones. And you know, thank you, it's been challenging with the events in Puna. And unfortunately we've had to re-evaluate and redirect our resources. But things are a little different now, and maybe we can go back to the table and start making some changes to help our community. I yield, thank you. Page 9 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 CHR. RUGGLES: Thank you. Council Member Chung. MR. CHUNG: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I think no one will disagree that sailing really enhances the quality of life for many people on our island, particularly on the east side. And echoing what Maurice said, I don't know how we got to this point, okay. Obviously it was some miscommunication on one side or both sides, and you know, I think some distrust might have arisen. And I did have a talk with an attorney who's representing some of you, Steven Strauss. And you know, he felt that there was that level of distrust, but I don't know how it got to that point really. I'm just going to take you guys back, because I'm the Councilperson representing that district, although this is something broader than just a representative district issue. I think I first caught wind of this months ago, when the club had received a letter to remove their boats on a Sunday. I think it was, I can't recall. And it was only like days away. So as soon as I was alerted to that, I called up Roxcie. And Roxcie has been wonderful, my estimation. I wanted to echo the sentiments of Ms. Poindexter. I mean Roxcie and Maurice have been wonderful, as far as I'm concerned. I talked to Roxcie, I said, "Hey Roxcie, what's going on with this removal in a few days? Is there a possibility that you guys can give some kind of extension?" She said sure. And I think that was communicated to your group. And I said, "Roxcie, would you be willing to at least have a discussion with the members?" She said absolutely. I think those were her exact words. And that was enough for me. I called up the person who was my only contact at that point, I can't even recall what her name was. And hopefully she conveyed that to the rest of you. And then, you know, there was this lag, and then it came up again. So I met with Mr. Greever, over there at the beach. And I left telling him this, because there was apprehension whether this thing was going to be a permanent removal. And I told Mr. Greever, okay, I'm going to talk to Roxcie. If you don't hear from me again, that means it's not permanent. Correct Richard? And you never heard from me again, right? Because I immediately went to talk to Roxcie, and I asked her; "Hey Roxcie, is this thing permanent?" She said, "No, we're going to come up with an MOU and we're going to work with these guys." I said terrific. And then I had a subsequent telephone conversation with Maurice, he said exactly what he told all of you today. He's an ex -navy guy, you know. He loves sailing. You know, he wants to support all of this. But the fact of the matter is when I went down there, and I told Richard this, you know, I rarely go down in that area. But it's not a nice looking area, so I supported the department's efforts in trying to spruce that place up. Because even if I'm not a sailor, even if I'm not a canoe paddler and even if I don't go down there too often, my interest is this: that is the visual quarter from the boat area all the way into the Downtown area, and that place has to be nice. The canoe halau Page 10 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 all have ownership in their respective areas, and they keep it immaculate. It's beautiful. Now we get to the boating, you know, we got some big boats that were left there. I think Richard explained to me, I don't know what it was, but they weren't supposed to be there, they were just storing it there. And it didn't look nice, and it really is no reflection on the boating club or community. Maybe it was because there was no MOU in place that—you know, there's no real ownership in it. But now that we've got representations from the department that they're going to move forward—and I will say this, Roxcie has never—I've worked with her for a long, long time and she's never given me wrong information. Her word is gold, and until she proves me wrong, I'm going to continue feeling that way towards her. And by the way when is our compost thing going toalmost pau, Joe? The compost thing contract, supposed to be finished in August, right? Okay, so anyway her word has been gold. And there may have been some miscommunications, misunderstandings, and maybe even some misrepresentations, but I don't think they were ill intentioned. Let's all work together now, okay. Move forward, it's a good thing, I think we all agree on that. And I think this can be a real positive, yeah. But you've got to understand with the MOU, the department still has to look after the interest of the County. It can't be everything that the club wants, as Ms. Poindexter says. This has to be a meeting of the minds; compromise, okay. That's all I have to say, thank you all. CHR. RUGGLES: Anyone else? Okay, great. Well I really appreciate you guys coming down and having a discussion. I think it's been very clarifying for all of us. The takeaways from me is that there wasn't really ever an MOU, and the MOU you're moving forward with now is the standard. And that currently when you went down there it was looking substandard. There was a problem with homelessness and drug paraphernalia. And that all you want to do for this month is just do a cleanup and restoration. Take care of the trees and any safety hazards, make it easy for the police to see inside, and keep it maintained. And so I think just a month to do that, I think that's fairly reasonable. And after that things will go back to normal, and you guys can keep continuing to use the Bayfront. One question is, where is the MOU right now, what is the status of it? MS. WALTJEN: It was given two weeks ago to the Commodore, and we haven't heard back from them yet. So we're waiting on them. CHR. RUGGLES: Okay, great. Page 11 PWPRC-22 August 7, 2018 MS. WALTJEN: Jen? You also had a question earlier today, about the pool out in Pahoa. Just to let you know, we cleaned the pool yesterday and today. We removed a lot of the Pele's hair. We're going to clean it twice more, and if everything stays like how it is right now and we don't have any more events, then we will be opening next week. Okay, now here's the thing, we just made that hurdle and tomorrow we were supposed to open up the skate park, but we have (Hurricane) Hector coming, okay. So just keep in mind, but we are moving forward in that. CHR. RUGGLES: Great, thank you. MS. WALTJEN: Okay. MR. CHUNG: I want to make a comment, if I may? CHR. RUGGLES: Okay. MR. CHUNG: Chair Ruggles stated that, because I don't want any miscommunications already at this point. I think she made reference to a standard MOU. I could be wrong, maybe I heard incorrectly. But I don't wantI mean, I cannot speak for the department. But I think they have to frame the MOU for the circumstances that surround this club. I mean, I wouldn't want the expectation to be that there is a standard MOU out there, because I was, you know, approached by Chris Bridges, and I talked to Steven Strauss. And they wanted copies of the MOU for the canoe clubs, but this was done a long time ago. And of course you live and learn as time goes on, and maybe there might be some tweaking of those MOUs that the department may see fit. So I don't want anybody to get the impression, again I'm not speaking for you guys, but that there is a standard MOU out there, that's going to be used for this situation. It's something that you guys all have to work on, okay. CHR. RUGGLES: Thank you for that, Mr. Chung. And I also second that, I think they bring up a good point. Because of the amount of equipment and energy that goes into this, it may be worthwhile to look at options allowing for longer than a year MOU, just so they have something to count on. I'm sorry we can't take questions, but we can talk after. With that, all those in favor of filing Comm. 991, please say "aye."
