The chair indicated that the AC would conform more closely to Robert’s Rules of Order. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC Tom Kelly: Tom brought and submitted an 8/30/10 letter from the Waikoloa Community Development Corporation. It asked the AC to establish standing or ad hoc subcommittees to address Waikoloa park planning. Waikoloa now has only seven acres of park space for a population of 9,000. This does not meet County standards of 5 acres of park space per 1,000 residents. Ideal would be several parks, a trail, an indoor gym and a community center. Waikoloa Community Association has approved donating some land. The next steps, Tom said, were: maps, prioritization and coordination. The State should be included in planning; Representative Cindy Evans has shown strong interest. Bill Campbell: Bill stated that parks needed to be built as fast as possible in Waikoloa. Presently youth are hanging out in the evening. Margaret Horwatt joined the meeting during Mr. Campbell’s comments. Margaret Wille: Margaret submitted proposed changes to the AC’s draft Operating Guidelines. She emphasized that the AC was intended to be a counterweight to the Planning Department. This did not mean anything against the Planning Department but would preserve the intent of the CDP. She noted that the DLNR lease of pu‘uacreage three parcels. Leonard Librizzi joined the meeting during Margaret Wille’s comments.
