Capital Improvement Program, (CIP) suggestions:
111
There were 9 original submissions with multiple projects each. Our task now is to pick the top

112
three (3) individual projects.
113
Our job is to help find funding for these top three or more projects.

114
We should also select various dollar projects so that we have projects over a broad range.
·
115
The request for the 2013-2014 budgets are already assigned. We are looking for funds for the
·
116
2014-2015 budgets. Selections are only for the Countys bonding and not the State funding.

119
Suggest that each member comment on their top projects at the next meeting.

Comments from the Public:
125
Charles Flaherty distributed a copy of pages 5 & 6 of the Hokulia settlement agreement. This is
·
126
regarding amendment of Chapter 23 regarding easements to protect archaeological sites can be
127
protected. Charles noted that this is not being accomplished by the County and sites are being
128
destroyed. Concerned those handouts were not issued to him before the meeting even though he
129
requested them. He will check with Sunshine Law to see if this was a violation. He also noted
130
that there are no details as to the conflicts between the PUD, KCDP, Chapter 23 and the General
131
Plan. What are the conflicts. Where is the public input from the past comments and are you
132
trying to move forward without consideration of past involvements. What is the Countys
133
conflict of interest with regards to agenda items.
134
135
Janice Palma-Glennie, noted that a 3 minute rule does not seem to allow adequate time for
·
136
discussion of topics. Do not change open space network for its priority. County information
137
presented today should not be split up among two groups. Please send me a copy of the handout
138
as an electronic copy. She would like to be back on the Action Committee as a member.

Karen Eoff stated thank you for the work and the approach to amend the code is a good direction.

141
Sharon Rudolf stated that these recommendations for the community may be for other
·
142
communities. These other people can not contribute to the recommendations. Greg noted that
143
these are island wide standards and not meant to force KCDP standards on other communities.
144
The KCDP is not on the web site but is available through a DVD at the Planning Office for $5.00.
145
146
Josephine Kehipio asked about environmental resources and whether they are included. Greg
