4. Government and Community Services - Jon Chinen, Chair

1. Neighborhood Plan MMVIII – the Neighborhood Plan Committee (of the Whole) met October 26 to consider proposed amendment to the NPlan 2008 for substantive and housekeeping amendments.  The Committee is seeking amendment proposals from the Public, Neighborhood Board Members and Neighborhood Boards for consideration. 

2. Property Tax Reform – BILL 51 (2009) CD1– RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAXATION.  The CD1 version establishing two new Property Tax classifications to replace “Residential” and distinguishes between HOMEOWNER AND NON-HOMEOWNER for the purposes of property tax rates.  While the new classification is now broader and may benefit homeowners, the need for increased enforcement with additional staff and resources from city revenues is of concern to the committee as there is no guarantee that renters will be assisted with the CD1.  The committee anticipates further discussion presentations at the 10-27-09 City Council hearing;  BILL 63(2009) RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING – passed second reading 09-24-09 in Budget Committee – bill monitor progress in GCS committee for possible recommendation for December 2009;  BILL 68(2009) RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR HOMEOWNERS – passed first reading was deferred in Budget committee 10-07-09 -- monitor progress, possible committee recommendation for December 2009.

3. Civil Rights - Bill 69(2009) RELATING TO PUBLIC SIDEWALKS – deferred in committee 10-08-09 -- monitor progress, possible committee recommendation for December, 2009.

4. Programs and Services - Impacts caused by State of Hawaii layoffs and furloughs in general and   numbers of positions along with potential reduction of Services, including the Department of Agriculture; Department of Health; Department of Human Services; Department of Public Safety are being monitored for equitable solutions in the November committee meeting.

     5. Human Trafficking - the Presentation October 1 2009 resulted in a subsequent City Council Resolution 09-284 and it is anticipated that a Senate Bill will be introduced in January 2010 concerning the issue. The committee will monitor. Proposed Senate / House Bill Re: Human Trafficking Establishes Class A, B, And C Felony Human Trafficking Offenses And Provision Related To Prosecution To The Offenses.  Adds Human Trafficking to Statutes Relating to Crime Victim Compensation, Forfeiture, Electronic Eavesdropping, And Organized Crime as well as the Human Trafficking Resolution (Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery) request for NB support will be addressed with a December recommendation from GCS Committee. The committee will continue monitoring.
