He reported that <br /> Zendo Kern has contributed the printing for 1000 copies of the survey and that we have them now ready for <br /> distribution. Sharon Daun reported that the QLCC has contributed the printing of surveys to be used with youth and <br /> that we now have 500 copies available for that purpose. <br /> Discussion of how to implement Survey Monkey revealed that the free service would be more cumbersome than <br /> would be effective. We voted to use the paid survey subscription and passed the hat with the result that we have <br /> sufficient funds for about 3 months. We will pass the hat again when needed. Sharon volunteered to input the survey <br /> on Survey Monkey. Nadine, Susan,Heidi and Patti agreed to take a test survey when the survey is on line. <br /> Distribution of paper surveys was discussed. Nadine agreed to coordinate the survey. All planners should email <br /> either Nadine or Patti with the number of surveys left at each location. <br /> Susan,Heidi and Patti volunteered to enter completed paper surveys onto Survey Monkey <br /> • Frank updated the group on the progress made with re-opening South Lauko Road. He has a meeting set up with <br /> Warren Lee of Public Works to begin the process of investigating how to get the road re-opened. There is support for <br /> the re-opening of the road from Fern Acres residents, S. Lauko Road residents,the school principal, and Mayor <br /> Kenoi. <br /> • Clyde gave a report from the Culture and History Working Group. They have nearly completed their section of the <br /> planning document and are fine-tuning the report and considering modes of presentation. <br /> • Patti announced the Pahoa Regional Town Center Community Meeting on August 21St at 6:00 in the Pahoa <br /> Community Center and urged attendance. <br /> • Dan brought up the issue of grass roots actions taken by individuals and groups and not brought through the Puna <br /> Community Development Plan. He stated that these actions encourage County government and officials to continue <br /> with the"squeaky wheel/favoritism"mode and to by-pass the PCDP. He states that it is essential that community <br /> action be prioritized through the PCDP so that equitable services are delivered throughout Puna and the most urgent <br /> needs are prioritized and served. Frank states that he has pursued these very necessary improvements on behalf of the <br /> Community he serves and that it is solely due to his persistence that any action has taken place. He reports that the re- <br /> opening of S. Lauko is different in that it is an existing county road. There was discussion of both viewpoints and it is <br /> clear that more thought needs to be given to the problem. <br /> Our next meeting will be September 125, 6:OOpm at the <br /> Mountain View School Cafeteria <br />
