A. Permitted Interaction Group – Neighborhood Plan 2007, discussion and action
Motion 1 for Board Letter: RE: Executive Session of the Neighborhood Commission July 23, 2007: Exclusion of Neighborhood Board Members of the Permitted Interaction Group on the Neighborhood Plan.
The Kailua Neighborhood Board, having been involved in the Neighborhood Plan review for almost a decade, is registering its opposition with the procedure whereby:
(1) Members of the Permitted Interaction Group were excluded from participation
in the discussion of the Corporation Counsel Opinion document and the denial
of access to the Corporation Counsel interpretation of the Neighborhood Plan
(Newly Revised); and
(2) Having been excluded from participation in the aforementioned process, we
are rendered unable to make informed decisions on the governing document
of the Neighborhood Boards and the Neighborhood Board System.
Therefore, in order for Neighborhood Boards to fulfill their Charter mandate, we are requesting that you convene a Special Meeting to provide sufficient opportunities for the Permitted Interaction Group members to review and comment on both the Opinion document and the Neighborhood Plan (as interpreted by Corporation Counsel).
