IV. CHAIR ANNOUNCEMENT
A. Call for the Question: at the September 6 meeting the parliamentary procedure “to call for the question” was used to end debate on several motions. The chair made a procedural error in handling this process. After conferring with the NCO parliamentarian, it has been determined that the board has committed a one time breach. The proper process is as follows: a call for question is a motion and the maker of the motion must be recognized by the Chair before “calling for the question” (i.e. a member cannot just yell “call for the question”). A second is required. A vote is then taken. 10 votes are needed to pass the motion. If passed, debate ends, and a vote taken on the main motion. If the motion fails, debate continues. The board will now follow this process in all meetings.

A. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE - Kathy Bryant-Hunter
Re-discuss and decision-making on September 6 Transportation Committee Motion #1: “The Kailua Neighborhood Board supports the Akiohala Street alternative as the second access to Kailua High School provided a parking lot is constructed, and a left turn phase is added to the traffic light at the corner of Keolu Drive and Keolu Drive.”
A parliamentary error occurred during discussion of this motion. A board member raised a point of order and should have been allowed to complete their comments prior to taking up the “call for the question”. The motion failed. The information could have impacted a board member’s vote, so allowing the board member comments takes precedent over the call for the question, therefore the board will re-discuss the motion. Also, a call for the question requires a second and must be voted on to end debate.
Motion 1: The KNB strongly rejects the Draft Neighborhood Plan, prepared by Corporation Council and distributed to the Boards on September 17, 2007 for the following reasons:
- the draft is not user friendly;
- the draft does not include comparative methods (what’s new, amended, deleted, etc.) from the existing Neighborhood Plan (1997);
- the draft was prepared by Corporation Council and does not reflect the amendments developed by Neighborhood Commission Permitted Interaction Group or the neighborhood board members over the last several years;
- the draft failed to include Corporation Council’s Opinion letter dated Aug. 15, 2007 which articulates the changes suggested by the Corporation Council,
- the draft was approved by the Commission without public comment (Neighborhood Commission minutes dated August 27,2007);
Therefore, the KNB strongly recommends that the Neighborhood Plan Revised Draft, submitted to the Commission in November 2006, be the draft distributed for public hearing, review, and comment.
The motion should be sent to the Commission and all board members.
B. GOVERNMENT & COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE – Jon Chinen, Chair
Motion 1: The Kailua Neighborhood Board supports the November 2006 draft of the Neighborhood Plan submitted by the Neighborhood Commission Permitted Interaction Group with only non-substantive corrections and amendments reached in prior agreement wit the Neighborhood Commission and Corporation Council.
Motion 2: The Government and Community Services Committee recommends, pursuant to the Neighborhood Plan Amendments, that the Kailua Neighborhood Board convenes a Committee of the Whole early 2008 to be consistent with the proposed substantive changes.
C. SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE, Chris Porter, Chair
Motion 1: The Kailua Neighborhood Board requests that the Department of Planning and Permitting (“DPP”) advise the Kailua Neighborhood Board of future permits requesting to gate any beach access prior to DPP’s approval of any such permits.
