RESIDENTS/COMMUNITY CONCERNS:

Questions, concerns, comments: 1) Chair Luersen asked if the property abuts country zoning. Tom Hoon replied no, it is surrounded by AG 2. Chair Luersen suggested placing this item on the May agenda.

Chair Luersen said this item would be placed on the May agenda. Mayor’s representative Nishimura will follow up.

INFORMATIONAL SESSION:

Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) – Acting Captain Jimon You, Jr. reported statistics for the month of March included 13 fires and 21 emergency responses. Fire Safety Tip – Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires and the second major cause of death among older adults. If you are cooking and must leave the kitchen for a few minutes, turn off the stove. Keep a fire extinguisher (with a minimum rating of 2A10BC) in or near your kitchen and learn how to use it. Inspect the fire extinguisher regularly to ensure that it has not expired.

Questions, comments, concerns: 1) Machado asked if community members are recognized by HFD for saving someone’s life from a fire. He mentioned that he knows the person who rescued three women from a burning structure last month near St. John’s Church. Follow up will be done with Captain Libed and sent to the Fire Chief for accreditation. 2) Spray mentioned that at other meetings it was brought up that EMS equipment are reaching their life expectancy and ask if HFD needed to have equipment replaced. You replied he was not sure because EMS is a separate entity that is funded by the State legislature. Spray asked if the fire trucks carry State equipment and wanted to know if there is anything the Board should do to support new equipment for HFD through the legislature. You answered that HFD has a grant committee for equipment. Spray suggested having Representative Meyer’s aide have his boss put a proposal in with the legislature. 3) Mench reiterated that at the last meeting he asked if the station had a rescue board. You responded they are still awaiting a response from the HFD administration. Acting Captain Jimon You, Jr. was thanked for attending the meeting.

Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) – Sarah Fry reported:

• 16 April – Hawaii Medal of Honor Ceremony – The Hawaii State Legislature will meet in joint session to present Hawaii Medals of Honor to 68 families with ties to Hawaii who have lost loved ones in Iraq. Medals will be presented to families of 22 marines from 2d Battalion, 3^rd Marine Regiment, and to the family of Major Megan McClung, a Hawaii born Marine Corps public affairs officer and the most senior female U.S. service member killed in Iraq, to date.
• 19 April – 2/3 Memorial Service
• 20 April – 3D Marines’ Change of Command – Col. Duffy White, USMC, will assume command of the 3^rd marine Regimen, III Marine Expeditionary Forces, Hawaii, at ceremonies to begin at 1 p.m. at Regimental HQ (Bldg 1088).
• 3 August – MCBH will get a new Commanding General.
• Regarding off-roading in Waikane Valley, MCBH has an ongoing investigation.

Questions, concerns, comments: 1) In response to Machado about an update on the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB), there was not a lot of interest and no reason to create a board at this date and time. Henkin added the interest was for Waikane not MCBH. 2) LeVasseur reported C17 training aircrafts flying over Kahalu’u and asked if they could remain over the water. Fry replied she will remind air control and would pass the concern on to the Air Force and the National Guard. To report flight concerns call the Public Affairs office at 257-8822 (M-F, 7am-4pm). Regarding night training concerns record the time and date and call the office in the morning. Sarah Fry was thanked for attending the meeting.

7:35 p.m. Panoke arrived; 11 members present.

Board of Water Supply (BWS) – Barry Usagawa reported:

1. One main break for the month of March occurring on the 27^th at 48-262 Kamehameha Highway, to a 12-inch 46 years old main.

2. Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) - the annual CCR to service holders will be mailed out in June. As mandated under Federal and State law, the State Department of Health and BWS regularly test O’ahu’s drinking water. The CCR will do the following: Identifies the source that supplies water for your address; reports detected contaminants or elements in the water and ensures that your drinking water meets all safe drinking water standards; describes any treatment process used, if necessary, to make your water safe to drink; explains terms used to go for additional information; and tells you where to go for additional information. This report will be specific to your service address, and more information can be found on the BWS website at www.honoluluboardofwatersupply.com.

3. Water Savings Tips: Take advantage of the $100 rebate for replacing your old toilet with a new low-flow one. Log on to www.boardofwatersupply.com for more information. You can use a screwdriver as a soil probe to test soil moisture. If it goes in easily, you don’t need to water. Proper lawn watering can save thousands of gallons of water annually. For hanging baskets, planters and pots, place ice cubes under the moss or dirt to give your plants a cool drink of water and help eliminating water overflow.

4. Follow up regarding rain barrel catchments – Rain catchment barrels are not available in Hawaii, but can be ordered at a cost of about $100 to $200 per barrel. The barrels are wood or plastic and come with spigots and screens to keep mosquitoes out. An informational rain barrel guide was circulated for interested persons to review.

Questions, comments, concerns: 1) Relative to economics, the city of Boston subsidizes by buying about 1,000 catchment barrels of water at a time. For BWS to operate this type of program, they would need to create a program for rebate subsidies saving money in the long run. Geboski mentioned a dollar every two months included in the water bill could be used to fund the rebates. Bender mentioned that the rebate program would be a BWS Board issue because they have the authority to set rates and approve budgets. Henkin noted a rate structure should be ready. Large water users should be targeted and charged more. Usagawa added an inverted water rate for residential use would promote less usage. Henkin said heavy water user should subsidize the program, which could be accomplished through a rate structure with large water users charged more.  Panoke agreed that it is the best solution he has heard in a long time. It would not hurt BWS to add fifty cents a month as being suggested here and the funds used for what it is designated for. Usagawa noted that BWS is not planning on doing this at this time; rather he was interested in hearing the community feedback.

Panoke moved, and seconded by Machado that a letter be initiated to BWS (Clifford P. Lum or Randall Ching) that the Kahalu’u Neighborhood Board No. 29 would like them to investigate the possibility of doing a conservation program.  The motion carried unanimously, 11-0-0 (Cappella, Renoir, Mench, Spray, Machado, LeVasseur, Geboski, Vermeesch, Panoke, Bender, Luersen). Bender offered to draft the letter.

8:00 p.m. Wolfgramm arrived (12 members present).

Honolulu Police Department (HPD) – Lt. Robinson reported the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) raided an Ahuimanu Road residence where four adults were arrested, meth pipes recovered and warrants issued. Abandoned vehicles on Kamehameha Highway near the pier have been removed. Regarding the McCabe property, a survey team from HCDA will be sent out to investigate the vehicles. Copies of the March statistics were circulated for interested persons to review. Lt. J. Cheong was introduced.

Questions, comments, concerns: 1) LeVasseur thanked HPD for the removal of the abandoned vehicles near the long bridge. Lt. R. Robinson and Lt. J. Cheong were thanked for attending the meeting.

Kaneohe Bay Regional Council (KBRC) – Art Machado reported that his appointment was approved last Wednesday and thanked everyone for their support. At the meeting a presentation about fish was very educational, and encouraged everyone to attend the meetings. The next KBRC meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 11, 2007. Agenda items for approval will be charters and constitutions. The Council supports a DOCARE field office. Follow up would be done to find the plan (1995-96) to create a part of Kaneohe Bay to be a sanctuary. Art Machado was thanked for his report.

Wetlands – Robert Cappella reported two alae’ula baby birds and five baby ducks nesting at the wetlands. He is concerned that today about twenty-five people were cutting grass in the area of the wetlands where the birds are nesting. He informed a worker that it is against Federal law to cut the foliage where endangered species are nesting. Due to the nesting no cutting is allowed from February to August to protect the birds. Mayor’s representative Craig Nishimura asked if the area is designated as a wetland. Cappella replied that he did call David Smith from the Federal Fish and Wildlife who told him that the area is called a “black hole” and he did not want to manage it. The area is located on the makai side of Kamehameha Highway. Spray asked what City agencies jurisdiction does the area come under. The response was the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Parks and Recreation. The State Department of land and Natural Resources (DLNR0 has wetland enforcement.

Discussion followed: 1) Henkin added that more action is needed from the Federal Fish and Wildlife Division. 2) LeVasseur informed all that the Board’s Environment Committee is consolidating with the Board’s Parks and Recreation committee to find solutions to the problems. 3) Nishimura said he would call Wilfred Ho, District Manager for the Windward side asking that all cutting in the area stop until further notice. Second would be to keep the cutting from happening again during nesting season. Nishimura will ask DLNR to work with the City on a management plan to implement. 4) Geboski asked if the City has a management plan that takes the federal law into consideration. LeVasseur explained the history of the area and said he did not know it was a swamp. 5) Chair Luersen said the Board needs to take action in order to request that City and County show or develop a management plan.

Panoke moved, seconded by Machado that the Kahaluu Neighborhood Board No. 29 send a letter to Lester Chang, Director for the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), cc to Will Ho (Windward Oahu Manager, District 4) inquiring if the City has a management plan and if they do, the Board requests a presentation.

Discussion followed: 1) the motion was amended adding requesting no further maintenance be done to that area until the issue is resolved. Panoke and Machado accepted the amendment. 2) Henkin said the two issues are cutting of bushes and inadequate management for the safety of the birds; active management is needed. 3) Relative to the motion Vermeesch noted to advise that the activities taking place is in direct violation if no permit was issued. 4) Henkin suggested adding a cc to the Federal Fish and Wildlife. 5) Panoke withdrew the motion, Machado agreed.

Panoke moved and seconded by Machado to send a letter to Les Chang, Director of the City Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), cc to the Federal Fish and Wildlife Division and Will Ho (Windward Oahu Manager, District 4) inquiring if the City has a management plan for that area, and if so the Board requests a copy and the Board requests a presentation; does the City have a incidental take permit. If not, stop cutting immediately and the Board requests a presentation; develop a process for a management plan if there is none. The motion carried unanimously, 13-0-0 (Cappella, Wolfgramm, Renoir, Machado, Mench, LeVasseur, Machado, Panoke, Bender Luersen, Vermeesch, Geboski, Henkin).

Windward Homeless Coalition – Naluai reported the next general meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 24, 2007, Castle Foundation Conference Room at 9:30 a.m.

Chair Luersen relinquished the gavel to Treasurer Bender.

Kahekili Highway Widening – Luersen reported statements made relative to the Kahekili Highway contra-flow lanes are going forward. A Senate Bill, relating to a pilot project proposed by Senators Hee and Tokuda died in committee. Proposed in the FY2008 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget is $1 million for implementing contra flow lanes on Kahekili Highway as a pilot project. Another CIP proposal by Representative Meyer would be an extra lane at the east and west sides of Hui Iwa.

8:50 Cappella left the meeting (12 members present)

Discussion followed: 1) Panoke stated the Board is opposed to the widening of Kahekili Highway, and took a position not to support the project, and suggested that the Board have a community forum meeting on the issue. 2) LeVasseur commented that as a last resort the $1 million could be used to reduce traffic by creating a situation by having three lanes into Haiku and single lanes at the bottom of the gulch. Contra flow would be a continuing cost since people would have to be hired to cone the lanes. He added that alternatives be looked into instead of widening the highway. 3) Henkin supports the community meeting, stating highway widening increases traffic and creates problems. It was noted that people driving cars need to be educated, bike paths made safer, and have park and rides so more people would ride the bus to town. 4) Panoke stated that the area be kept country and the widening is not part of the community’s geography. 5) Luersen opposed the contra flow and widening stating that it adds to continued development pressures on the community. She stated that it will not address long term traffic concerns. She supports a community meeting where residents meeting where residents can give their input. 6) Bender wanted to know how the Board could get area representatives and representatives from the State Department of Transportation in the same room for a meeting. He noted the issue is a wedge that divides the community. 7) Lee mentioned that efforts should be made to educate drivers.   8) Geboski commented that the politicians tested the water and found that a number of people want the widening.

LeVasseur moved, seconded by Renoir that the Kahaluu Neighborhood Board No. 29 sponsor a community forum relating to the widening of Kahekili Highway in the month of May utilizing up to $1,000 in the Board’s Publicity Funds for this community meeting.

Discussion followed:

1) Luersen expressed concern that the motion is limited to the month of May. The meeting should be advertised in a timely fashion. 2) Machado agreed with the motion, but said May would be too soon for the planning/advertising.  3) Lee mentioned that this is also an issue for the people in Kahuku.  4) Geboski amended the motion to send the notice to Neighborhood Boards 27 (North Shore), 28 (Koolauloa), 30 (Kaneohe), and 31 (Kailua).  5) Panoke noted that the invitation be sent to anyone on the Windward side and offered to put the event together.  6) Henkin expressed concern relative to the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) timelines and asked if the timeline could be redirected. Meeting emphasis should be on how to address transportation issues in the area involving area planners. 7) Luersen added the focus should also be on why people are upset, which is traffic. Instead of jumping to one idea, the focus should be on developing solutions to the traffic issue, which could be the education portion of the forum. 8) An audience member noted the issue is safety driven. The Department of Transportation reported thirty serious accidents per year and is being pressured to do so.  9) LeVasseur amended the motion stating that the motion should reference widening on Kahekili Highway, phrased as a traffic safety issue such as Kahekili Highway widening, intersection improvements, etc.  10) Panoke said it is simple; the issue is the widening of Kahekili Highway with the Board hosting the forum. Luersen expressed concerns that the meeting may turn into a support or oppose discussion instead of framing the issue around what residents are upset about and discuss finding a solution or alternatives.

The motion was amended to read the Kahalu’u Neighborhood Board No. 29 sponsor a community forum on traffic issues including and not exclusively limited to the Kahekili widening contra-flow and opposing the $1 million in the CIP until after the forum.

Further Discussion followed:

1) Mench mentioned that the item is on tonight’s agenda and there are no audience members present interested to discuss the matter. 2) Panoke said wasn’t the $1 million not necessarily for the contra-flow. 3) Vermeesch mentioned the fact is that no one is in attendance tonight to discuss the issue, so the Board must reach out to the community. 4) Luersen expressed concern regarding the timing issue. 5) Wolfgramm suggested adding specifics to the motion. He added he opposes the contra-flow, and prefers Luersen’s concept other than what has been allocated at this time. It was suggested to request of the Senate to change the FY08 $ 1 million to address traffic issues on Kahekili Highway. 6) Lee recommended getting on other area Neighborhood Boards agendas announcing the forum.

The motion carried unanimously, 12-0-0 (Wolfgramm, Henkin, Renoir, Machado, Mench, LeVasseur, Panoke, Bender, Luersen, Vermeesch, Geboski, Spray).

LeVasseur moved, seconded by Panoke not to exceed more than $1,000 from the Board’s Publicity Budget for the community forum.  The motion carried unanimously, 12-0-0 (Wolfgramm, Henkin, Renoir, Machado, Mench, LeVasseur, Panoke, Bender, Luersen, Vermeesch, Geboski, Spray).
