APPROVAL OF MAY 25, 2006 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES – The Board approved the minutes as submitted.
TREASURER'S REPORT – Deferred until next month's meeting.
OFFICIAL REPORTS:
Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) – Fire Fighter I Edward Millerd reported: 1) For the month of May, the Waipahu and Waikele Fire Stations responded to 47 fires, 90 medical emergencies, and 11 good intent calls. 2) Fire Safety Tip: "Brush fire season is here, so remember to maintain a 30-foot wide clearing in between any structure and vegetation. Recent rains may have overgrown vegetation in some breaks."
Honolulu Police Department (HPD) – Sgt. Dan Aoki reported: 1) The statistics for the month of May in the Waipahu area: 19 assaults; 43 auto thefts; 25 auto theft recoveries; 26 burglaries; 45 criminal property damages; 6 drug/narcotics; 171 motor vehicle collisions; 7 O.V.U.I.I; 5 robberies; 87 thefts; 56 UEMV's; and 3,132 calls for service in Waipahu (44% of the calls were for service). Arrests: adults – 125, juveniles – 38. 2) Follow-up: a) The abandoned vehicles on Hiapo Street have been towed. A recently new law makes it easier to tow abandoned vehicles; b) There is an active drug investigation at 94-931 Kahuailani Street. If anyone has any drug complaints, please call Detective Pascual at the Kapolei Police Station, 692-4061.
Concerns and comments followed:
1) Sgt. Aoki stated abandoned vehicles might be towed if any one of these violations occurs: no license plate, expired registration or expired safety check.
2) Andrade said there are vehicles in Village Park that has tarps over it. She asked if police could remove those tarps and determine if the vehicles are legal. It's an ongoing problem for the past 10 years. Sgt. Aoki will follow-up. Herolaga mentioned Councilmember Garcia's office also has been receiving similar complaints in the industrial area (Pupu area). Sgt. Aoki will follow-up.
3) A resident had concerns regarding graffiti. Sgt. Aoki stated there is a case that is going to the court. Lt. Guy DeMello added there are a couple of cases in July. Officers make the arrests then it's up to the judge to issue penalties. In a recent case, an individual was fined $100. The penalties are not very punitive. Hunkin said members of his congregation were told that if they catch someone doing graffiti they couldn't be arrested because police has to witness the violation. Lt. DeMello confirmed Hunkin's statement. If you do witness a violation, you will be asked to go to court and testify against the suspect. Even if you take a photo of the individual in the act, police would still need a statement from the person who took the photo.
HPD Weed & Seed – Yakowenko mentioned a meeting was held a couple of days ago with the Department of Justice regarding Weed & Seed. Waipahu needs to apply for graduating status. The grant will come through the Waipahu Community Association (WCA). They are trying to keep the program in Waipahu.
Mayor's Representative – Baybee Hufana-Ablan reported: 1) The Mayor participated in the grand opening ceremony of the Village Park connector road. Following the ceremony, the Mayor had a press conference at Kapolei Hale regarding mass transit. 2) The Mayor's Chinatown Summit was held earlier today. 3) The Mayor's Report is on most Thursdays on Olelo, Channel 54, 7:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. 4) The next meeting for the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project will be held this Saturday at Kapolei Hale at 8:30 a.m. 5) Follow-up concerns: a) The Neighborhood Commission Office appreciates the Waipahu Neighborhood Board being cognizant of how taxpayers dollars are spent. Any unused Operating funds (including Operating, Publicity, and Refreshments) remaining at the end of each fiscal year will revert back to the City General Fund. Many Boards share the same belief as Waipahu, and do not use any funds for refreshments. However, some Boards use these funds not only to purchase refreshments but also to purchase leis for special occasions (i.e. retiring Board member, exceptional community service or accomplishment, etc.); b) The Village Park Community Association voted against Nextel's tower proposed at the Kunia Park-and-Ride; c) JoAnn Yatago, Recreation Director of Waipahu District Park, will get back to Rudy Costalo of the Waipahu Jack Rabbits, regarding the use of the park; d) $1.4 million has been appropriated for Waipahu District Park Swimming Pool improvements. In the meantime, alternate City swimming pool sites available are in Pearl City, Manana, and Waikele; e) $200,000 has been appropriated for Hans L'Orange Park; f) City Council Ordinance 06-13 addresses abandoned vehicles. Any vehicle left unattended or parked on any public street, road, or highway, may be towed if the vehicle has any one or more of the following: 1) No valid vehicle registration emblem or an expired vehicle registration; 2) No valid sticker affixed certifying a certificate of inspection or an expired certificate of inspection sticker. 3) No valid license plates.
Concerns and comments followed:
1) Chair Oshiro commended Hufana-Ablan for a very detailed report. A lot of Board members attended the grand opening of the connector road. Hopefully, the road will be a big benefit to the community.
2) Andrade said the street lights for the new connector road (Aiki Street) in Village Park is not working. Hufana-Ablan will follow-up.
RESIDENTS' CONCERNS:
Homeless Solution – Ben Davis said he has a proposal to help the homeless problem in Waipahu and the State. The U.S.S Independence, a decommissioned ship, could be used to house the homeless. He was a major factor in saving the U.S.S. Missouri and other ships. Chair Oshiro thanked Davis for his concern. He informed Davis that the Neighborhood Board may not be the proper place to air his proposal and suggested contacting Congressman Case's representative, area Legislators, and the Governor's representative – all of whom are present tonight.
Water Saturated Problems – Resident Jesus Santos of Nalii Street had concerns about saturated water bordering his property. It's been a problem for the past three weeks. He called Stan Fujimoto of Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawai'i (HCDCH), and was told that the State could not do anything about the problem; and that the Plantation Town Apartments project should help the problem. Fujimoto, who was in attendance, stated there are two problems – the drainage easement running along Santos' property that is not working; and the sprig is leaking. A permit is needed to cap the sprig, which is a difficult process. It is solely not HCDCH's responsibility. Chair Oshiro asked Santos to work with Fujimoto, Frank Lopez (Governor's representative), and Representative Sonson.
Plantation Town Apartments – Chair Oshiro informed everyone wishing to speak, due to the long list of people waiting to testify, that there is a one-minute time limit per speaker.
There was lengthy discussion on this issue. Concerns and comments included: 1) Resident Robert Ikeda had concerns about parking and traffic. 2) Representative Cabanilla said she has a copy of the traffic study. 3) Resident Masa Uyeda had concerns about density of the project, parking, distance of project to nearby homes, and pile driving. 4) Resident Jess Kajiwara had concerns about costs of the project, and lack of public input. 5) Yakowenko mentioned copies of a petition were circulated to the Board supporting the Plantation Town Apartments Project. 6) Resident Richard Costa had concerns about pile driving, parking, developer overlooking laws, and loss of view plain. 7) Resident Noel Santos Costa had concerns about the size and scale of project. 8) Chair Oshiro noted that the Board has a copy of a petition from residents opposing the project. Uyeda said 99% of the residents oppose the
project. The petition was sent to Connie Herolaga of Councilmember Garcia's office. 9) Yakowenko read a letter from the developer, Mike Kimura, addressing concerns about site location; parking; building height and mass; and traffic. (Note – the letter is on file). 10) Burke clarified the concerns: traffic, parking, soil substances, etc. He asked if an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required. Representative Cabanilla said she has a copy of the Environmental Assessment (EA). Burke had concerns about soil substances. There will be substantially structure damage since the land is former swap land. He questioned once the property is sold what is the State's liability. The taxpayers will be left holding the bag. 11) Duhaylonsod, who lives one block from the project, supports Nalii Street residents. She echoed Burke's comment about the quality of the land. The developer only cares about making money. 12) Representative Sonson said he has no personal interest in the project.
Andrade moved and Duhaylonsod seconded that the Waipahu Neighborhood Board No. 22 write a letter to HCDCH and Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) that acknowledges the need for affordable housing, while at the same time empathizes with the concerns expressed by the residents of Nalii Street. In addition, the Board recommends that HCDCH and DPP work with the developer and the residents to address and help mitigate their concerns. The motion carried unanimously.

Castle & Cooke – Kevin Funasaki sent his monthly report via the Neighborhood Commission Office. Chair Oshiro said the report would be on file.
Central O'ahu Regional Park/Waipio Soccer Facility – Burke circulated his monthly community report and highlighted the following: 1) The Hawai'i Pacific Tennis Foundation will terminate operation of the tennis complex at midnight, July 2, 2006, after which responsibility for operating the facility will be assumed by the City. 2) Hours for adult open (lap) swimming are Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m.; weekdays and holidays: 8:00 a.m.-12:00 noon.

Concerns and comments followed:
1) Hunkin asked if he has four vehicles how many placards are you allowed. Sgt. Amuimuia answered you are allowed two placards per household.
2) A resident inquired if his wife is assigned the placard does she have to be in the vehicle. Sgt. Amuimuia answered in the affirmative.
3) Sgt. Amuimuia stated volunteers issue approximately 3,000 citations per year. All the money from the fines goes directly to the State.
4) Sgt. Amuimuia said for every 25 parking stalls there must be one disabled parking stall.
5) Duhaylonsod indicated when she sees vehicles without the placard parked in a disabled stall she notifies the store manager. Sgt. Amuimuia said the next time you witness a violation to take the license plate, location, time and call her office at 529-3136.
6) A resident asked Yakowenko ever encountered any conflict Yakowenko answered he hasn't, you just have to keep your cool. Sgt. Amuimuia added part of the training includes verbal judo class. In worst-case scenario, the volunteers call for an officer.
Proposed Telecommunications Facility at Kunia Park & Ride by Nextel – Chair Oshiro said the Board heard a presentation by Nextel at last month's meeting and asked that they go back to the community and make a presentation to the Royal Kunia and the Village Park Community Associations (VPCA). Andrade, President of the VPCA, indicated that at last night's meeting, Nextel made a presentation on their proposed facility. There were a lot of questions and concerns. The association voted against Nextel's proposal. Andrade moved and Maus seconded that the Waipahu Neighborhood Board No. 22 oppose Nextel's proposed telecommunications facility at Kunia Park & Ride. The motion carried unanimously.
Redistricting Waipahu Neighborhood Board Seats – Herolaga, Chair of the Redistricting Committee, stated there was no meeting in May because she was waiting for a large boundary map from the Neighborhood Commission Office. She only received the map this past Monday. Herolaga asked to defer this item to next month's meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
Decision to Either Recess or Hold a Candidates Forum in August – Yakowenko noted that in the past the Board has recessed in August and December. The Neighborhood Plan allows the Board to recess two months per year. The Board has always taken a recess in August, except when a candidates forum was held. Yakowenko moved and Duhaylonsod seconded that the Waipahu Neighborhood Board recess in August, Discussion ensued. Burke said during election years the Board has held candidates forums. It has been very worthwhile for the candidates and the community. He strongly urged the Board hold a candidates forum; there are some interesting races. Both Yakowenko and Duhaylonsod accepted a friendly amendment. The motion now reads the Waipahu Neighborhood Board will recess in August and in its place will hold a Candidates Forum (on the fourth Thursday in August). The motion carried unanimously. Burke will coordinate with Chair Oshiro. He will make arrangements to reserve August Ahrens School Cafeteria. Chair Oshiro announced more details would be provided at next month's Regular Meeting.

Councilmember Garcia reported: 1) He congratulated the new Board officers and the newly appointed Board members. 2) Today, the City Council adopted Resolution 06-225, expressing Council support to defray the administrative costs associated with funding for mass transit systems. The City will advance $5 million to the State. This is the first step in the
process. Hopefully, the Legislature will allocate money in the 2007 session. The Council will have to vote on a mass transit alternative by the end of the year. 3) He attended the opening of the Village Park Connector Road yesterday. The project was long in the making. He thanked the late C.O. "Andy" Anderson, others who are no longer with us, and people in this room, who made the road a reality.
Chair Oshiro mentioned earlier in the meeting residents voiced their concerns regarding the Plantation Town Apartments project. The Board will write a letter to HCDCH and DPP regarding this project and will need to rely on your guidance and support. Councilmember Garcia said he's glad the petition drive was launched by area residents; this is grass-roots government. He has met with the developer and made the developer aware of the concerns from residents. He also held a meeting with Senator Nishihara, who will also sit down with the developer. Representative Sonson held a meeting last night with residents on this issue. Everyone is working together to find a solution.

Concerns and comments followed:
1) Roller mentioned Waipahu District schools are the largest on the island and includes a lot of at-risk students. He inquired about the Weighted Student Formula. Senator Nishihara stated schools would be impacted by the Weighted Student Formula. For 2007, the Legislature appropriated $20 million for schools shortfall. He asked to meet with complex principals to discuss this issue. Roller asked how could the Board and the community lends its support to the schools. Senator Nishihara said the Board of Education (BOE) has meetings throughout the state. The Neighborhood Board can participate when the meeting is held in the community. The Legislature got additional funding for school repairs. He did get $600,000 for an additional classroom for Waipahu Elementary.
2) Yakowenko asked Senator Nishihara if he received any calls regarding his support of Lt. Watada at his press conference. Senator Nishihara stated the day after the press conference he received one email. He has known Bob Watada (Lt. Watada's father) for years and senior Watada asked him for his support to attend the press conference.
3) Burke, who sits on the Kanoelani Elementary SCBM, said he received a telephone call today regarding a meeting this Saturday at Waipahu Intermediate on the Weighted Student Formula. There is concern that the district tends to lose $5 million. Senator Nishihara asked to call him with the time of the meeting.

Representative Mark Moses – Representative Moses reported: 1) He attended the christening of the U.S.S. Hawai'i in Connecticut. The ship will be here in a couple of years. 2) Three bills signed into law addressing illegal drinking: a) Drivers with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or higher will automatically have their driver's licenses and registrations suspended; b) Consumption and ingestion of alcohol are added to the list of prohibitions for those under 21; c) Any person under 21 who illegally purchases, possesses or consumes alcohol will lose the right to drive for at least 180 days. 3) He is a ranking member of the Conference Committee. Federal Line Item Bill – if 50% of either House votes against it, the President cannot veto it. 4) Weighted Student Formula - $2 billion goes to the Department of Education (DOE). Some schools get two to three times the money than schools on this side of the island. Schools that are losing money are very upset. The Legislature put in $20 million.
Representative Alex Sonson – Representative Sonson circulated his monthly report and highlighted the following: 1) Regarding the Weighted Student Formula, Waipahu complex schools are gaining money and not losing money. Because students speak various languages, Waipahu receives more money. 2) Today, the Chair of the Human Services Committee moved $17 million into the Child Welfare program. A lot of kids are graduating from high school, some with honors. The grant is important to the kids. 3) His office is taking the lead regarding the Plantation Town Apartments project; he held a meeting last night. He did some research and it's not a done deal. The project is moving super fast compared to the Renaissance project. If the City Council opposes the project, the bill will die. There is nothing the area Legislators can do; it has to go through the process. The project has to pass the City Council's Zoning Committee then the Full Council. The Zoning Committee will hold a public hearing on July 5 at 9:00 a.m. People can submit testimony by calling 527-6910 or through the City's website, www.honolulu.gov. He will attend the hearing and encouraged others to attend. He is doing his best and people shouldn't be questioning his actions; he is not the bad guy. His office is monitoring the City Council's agenda and will keep the Board updated.
Chair Oshiro apologized if there was any misunderstanding regarding his actions with the Plantation Town Apartments project. He thanked Representative Sonson for his efforts.
Representative Ryan Yamane – No report or representative was available.
