Communication No. 2014-22 CER Subcommittee Report to PCDP AC April 8, 2014 Marlene Hapai, Chair Subcommittee on Connectivity and Emergency Response Goals of PCDP Subcommittee on CER approved 2/12/13: 1. Highest priority—promote health and safety: Establish a series of connectivity locations between Puna subdivisions and surrounding areas 2. Desired Outcome: Identify and develop a combination of road connections of various types, agreeable to residents that enable safe, indirect, calm passage, as well as provide more efficient access for emergency traffic. Since the last PCDP AC meeting we have had the opportunity to provide testimony for our 4 council members to form an ad hoc committee to address emergency routes from Volcano to Pahoa and have another subcommittee meeting to discuss connectivity issues and the upcoming PREP Fair.To better address both of these we have added another subcommittee meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, April 15th being the next one,just for PREP Fair purposes.The 4th Tuesday will be used for connectivity issues only. Read Testimony in favor of forming an ad hoc committee on Volcano to Pahoa connectivity for emergency purposes. In good faith: • We have collected community input • Sent surveys to community organizations for input • Invited testimony To not lose available funds for high priority areas that are ready for implementation and have community support I recommend we: 1. Prioritize current connectivity suggestions with the information we have 2. Have public meetings in April (Ilagan and Kern) and/or publish in paper and send throughout media to confirm support or not of suggestions 3. Goal: Put forth priority lists to AC for vote next meeting May 13th 4. Forward to County DPW for next steps 5. Ad hoc committee can continue to address criteria to implement and funding
