BUSINESS OF COMMITTEE: ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION
1. The Action Committee discussed their options and the challenges in forming
an investigatory subcommittee to prepare recommendations to amend the
Hawaii County General Plan. The overall response of the Action Committee
was that it is unreasonable to take on this project and provide
recommendations in such a short amount of time for a deadline of June 6th,
2015. However, after much discussion, the Action Committee agreed that this
is an opportunity and that they should take on this project.
After further discussion, Doug Payne made a motion to create two adhoc
subcommittees: one to look at the outreach, economic development, and TOD
activities report of the Kona CDP as it relates to the General Plan; and the
second to look at the land use, environmental & cultural resources report,
transportation and public facilities report as it relates to the General Plan.
Curtis Tyler seconded this motion, and it was carried unanimously. The
members of each adhoc subcommittee are as follows:
Group One: Greg Ogin (Chair), Kari Kimura, Barbara DeFranco, and Elaine
Fukushima.
Group Two: Hiram Rivera (Chair), Curtis Tyler, Doug Payne, and Keoki
Schattauer.
2. Island Wide Action Committee Report by Greg Ogin and Hiram Rivera
Greg Ogin reported that in February, there was a meeting with the other
Action Committee members where they discussed global issues that the
other committees were experiencing. A major topic of conversation was the
selection of committee members and the method of selection. Greg went on
to explain that it is apparent there is no process and that nominations appear
to get lost in the system. This was brought to the attention of the Planning
Director and the members who attended the meeting were under the
impression that the Planning Director would look into this matter and
hopefully come back with some type of process that will be more effective
than what is currently in place.
3. Update on Capital Improvements Program (CIP) as it pertains to the KCDP AC
recommendations.
Terry Dunlap passed out a packet that included the items that made the
appropriation list, and the status of those items. He also passed out a copy of
the county approved budget for 2014-2015.
