MONTHLY REPORTS, PART I:

Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) – Fire Fighter II David Mori represented the HFD and presented a combined monthly report for the Makakilo and Kapolei area for April to May 2007, citing two structure fires, five brush fires, three vehicle fires, eighty-one medical emergencies, and six miscellaneous calls.  He reported no unusual events and also reported the Safety Tip as suggesting the development of a fire escape plan: 

Prepare a fire escape plan.  Map out your escape routes with at least two ways out of each room.  Designate a location outside of the house where everyone can meet.  Know where the closest phone is located to call 911.

Chair Timson noted that the eighty-one medical emergencies number was higher than usual and asked if there was any explaination; Mori commented that there had been a few more ‘dificulty breathing’ calls than in the past, that there was no specific answer and added that the community is getting older as the nature of the housing is changing.  Gano explained that he is working at the Kaponowaiola nursing home where he has had occasion to call for a medical emergency some five to twelve times.  Gano expressed concern that fire trucks would arrive even though the ambulances have been on station for several minutes – and sometimes much longer – and the arrival is after the ambulance crews have called in, suggesting that the fire fighters need better contact with the dispatchers and shouldn’t waste time and resources.  Mori explained that fire units normally respond to a scene and are backing up those there first.  Carolyn Golojuch asked if there was a shortage of HFD personnel due to Iraq; Mori agreed that there are Guard and Reserve HFD personnel in Iraq but that the HFD adjusts to those shortages to enable full staffing.  Chair Timson thanked Mori for his report.

Honolulu Police Department (HPD) – Chair Timson noted the absence of HPD and commented that she had heard many sirens before the beginning of the meeting and assumed the officers were needed elsewhere.

MONTHLY REPORTS, PART 2 –

Mayor’s Representative – Henry Eng, Director of the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), represented Mayor Hannemann and distributed copies of the Mayor’s mid-term report and a recycling guide, which includes a page of useful frequently-called phone numbers.  He reported the City administration is concerned about the conflict between communities on the routing of the proposed rapid transit line and that the City is continuing to try to improve the proposal.  He reported that he was avaialbe to respond to questions or concerns.

Michael Golojuch commented that Eng seems to be attending and representing the City at many functions, including the many Council-budget related ones reported in the media and asked what Eng did in his spare time; Eng said he raises worms and suggested that it would be a valuable activity for anyone to do, as it is an asset to recycling.  Kane asked that Eng convey thanks to Mayor Hannemann, whom Kane said was instrumental in having the seventeen mature coconut trees relocated from the former transit site to the hula mound, greatly enhancing the beauty of the park.  Kane also expressed appreciation that the comfort station construction had started.  Dudley asked about the traffic roadway plan for the Kahiwelo project area; Eng said he would follow up.  Chair Timson asked about property tax relief proposals; Eng asked to defer to a Councilmember for a current status of the different proposals.  Gano asked about a mayoral coordinator for the racetrack issue; Eng said Mayor Hannemann had not designated it as a project since the issue is actively being discussed in the Council, where there is a proposal to place a public facility symbol on land use designation maps and a proposal for property condemnation.   Carolyn Golojuch asked for a follow up on a complaint of unprofessional behavior against Member Dudley that she reported had been agreed to by the Neighborhood Commission, but that the process (involving Executive Secretaries Kama, Hufana-Ablan and Manke) had not been finished by the Commission.  Michael Golojuch Jr. asked about a recent complaint case; Chair Timson said she would report on the recent case as part of the Chair’s report. 

Councilmember Todd Apo – Wendy Sefo, of Councilmember Apo’s Office staff, represented Councilmember Apo and reported that the Council was currently in session and that Apo is still there.  She distributed a written community report and invited questions to herself, either then or later on in the meeting, from residents present.  Michael Golojuch and Chair Timson both offered congratulations to Apo, who as the Council Budget Chair, had run the budget legislative process, saying that the materials are more orderly and reasonable than in the past, with Chair Timson adding that the seperations allow for the general public to be more involved in the discussion. 

Councilmember Nestor Garcia – Puni Chee, of Councilmember Garcia’s Office staff, represented Councilmember Garcia, and, joined by Councilmember Apo’s staff Sefo, presented a joint certificate of recognition from Councilmembers to Board member Ross, highlighting her many years of dedicated service to the community. Chair Timson also thanked Ross for her service and announced that she expected Ross to coninue in participation in the community, even though not as a Board member. Chee said there would be similar resolutions for the others who were leaving the Board.  Ross thanked the Council, especially Councilmember Garcia, and said that, as she leaves the Board, she gives the new members her best wishes for success in building the developing City of Kapolei.  Chee distributed a community report and highlighted thanks to Councilmember Apo for including Makakilo in the Waimanalo Gulch benefits package; Chee reported that the final decision is June 6, 2007 as part of the Council Budget bill (CB 30 and 31).  He encouraged the community to send testimony to the Council (fax 527-6910).  Chee also encouraged community support for accelerating the federal funding for the Makakilo Drive extension, proposing the move from 2011 to 2010, and to then lobby to accelerate the construction even earlier.  Michael Golojuch thanked Garcia and Chee for his efforts on the Drive extension, to Genadio for his comments at the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OMPO) meeting the evening before, and to Garcia and Chee for the efforts on the Makakilo community park.  Golojuch moved and Young seconded for the Makakilo/Kapolei/Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board No. 34 to send a letter requesting that the Council include Makakilo as apart of the Council’s Waimanalo Gulch  Benefits package for the next fiscal year.  Chee reported that Makakilo had been placed in the draft but was not shown in the current version; the package in the prior fiscal year was only for the Waianae-Kapolei-Ewa areas. Without objection, Chair Timson declared the motion passed unanimously, 8-0-0.  Aye:  Dudley, Golojuch, Kane, Ross, Timson, Yamamoto, Young.  Dudley asked Chee if a similar position of support would be valuable for the Makakilo Drive extension; Chee said it would. Dudley moved and Golojuch seconded for the Makakilo/Kapolei/Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board No. 34 to send a letter requesting that the Council be urged to expedite the construction of the extension of Makakilo Drive.  Gano reported that the letter should be expanded to be addressed to OMPO and to the OMPO policy committee.  Without objection, Chair Timson declared the motion passed unanimously, 8-0-0.  Aye:  Dudley, Golojuch, Kane, Ross, Timson, Yamamoto, Young.  Chair Timson said that she would meet with Chee to do the letters.  Carolyn Golojuch thanked Garcia for the benefits package inclusion and asked that the package not be used to do routine maintenance; Chee said he understood the concern and that the Council’s intent is to convey that the benefits are in addition to the regular budget items.  Freitas thanked Garcia for the Ross recognition and added that the people of Honokai Hale have been well-served by Ross’ efforts and hard work over the past years and expressed hope that individuals will support the community – like Ross has done for forty years – over the next 30-40 years; Frietas offered his personal thanks to Ross.  Ross responded to Freitas, thanking him and saying that he and she had worked together on community and community association projects.  Chair Timson added that the building of the Kapolei community has taken many years and many efforts to reach this point; she thanked Chee for his presentation.

Board of Water Supply (BWS) – George Kuo, Board of Water Supply (BWS) representative, reported no main break in the past month, and reported encouragement of water-conservation measures to check for possible toilet leaks, distributing material on the annual detect-a-leak week. He was available for questions.  Chair Timson thanked Kuo for his report. 

PRESENTATIONS

State of Hawaii Kapolei Court Complex – Chair Timson introduced Christina Uebelein, the Kapolei Court Complex manager, who had made prior presentations on the Judiciary’s plans, and noted the need to end the meeting by 9:45 p.m.  Uebelein presented charts and drawings, reporting: The judiciary project is to be located on a now-empty property site immediately next to the COSTCO site, across the intersection from Outback, and next to the empty lot by the current State parking lot.  It is intended to have a campus-like setting, generally to look like the Immigration and Naturalization building in downtown Honolulu and has been given an additional $25.2 million by the legislature. Utilizing the 1% requirement of a project’s art cost, the complex is incorporating art glass into the construction, as well as large stone structures which will be illuminated at night.  The complex will house a maximum of 66 juveniles, from all islands and will receive age-appropriate Department of Education (DOE) instruction.  She said the juvenile facility will be one story, with a sleeping module of two-stories, and the Court building (including its elevator machinery) to be twice that. 

Chair Timson asked about the overall timetable; Uebelein said the concept was started in 1989, with the Kapolei site identified in 1991 and groundbreaking to be in July 2007.  Ross thanked Uebelein for the presentation and said she could hardly wait.  Kane said he was happy the project was happening and asked about the artist; Uebelein said the glass was by Doug Young and the sculpture by Leland Migano.  Dudley said project was lovely and expressed appreciation for the jobs, and asked about solar uses; Uebelein explained that the intent had been to use solar as much as possible but that design restrictions (Campbell wants the panels to not be visible from streets) have prevented anything other than use for the night art lighting.  Dudley asked about completion dates; Uebelein said the project is to start in July and be complete in October 2009 (28 months), with the Kapolei Parkway substantially finished the first quarter of 2010. Chair Timson asked for Campbell Company’s Theresia McMurdo to answer the Parkway question, with McMurdo saying the Parkway should be finished at the end of 2009, with the finish dependent on approvals.  Dudley said he had received a letter regarding the Family Court noting that the Court would generate traffic from town to Kapolei and proposing to keep the Family Court in the downtown area; Uebelein said the plan was to have some Family Court in town and some here, with the general commitment of two Family Courts to be left in Honolulu (rooms will be permanently reserved).  Gano pointed out that the initial $95 million was approved and the request was for an additional $48 million; Uebelein said the building is smaller than the original design.  Carolyn Golojuch said as a social worker she commends the efforts and feels sorrow that even though we all say ‘ohana’ but that when it comes to money, its not there.  Chair Timson thanked Uebelein for her presentation and observed that the opposition to a move to Kapolei seemed to be from attorneys in opposition to a Kapolei site rather than a social agency; Uebelein said that was generally true and thanked the Board for its past support. 

Chair Timson asked Representative Har to give her legislative report and while she was coming up, referenced that a distributed letter from Chancellor Awakuni includes a status on the West Oahu campus.

Representative Sharon Har – Legislative Report – Representative Har explained that she was a freshman legislator who has had success in working with other area legislators and as a member of the Finance Committee, has seen the allocation of $300 million for the Ewa/Kapolei area. She distributed a written report and highlighted issues. Har referenced a recent article by Gordon Pang about the Ewa/Kapolei allocations; Chair Timson thanked Pang for the article. The Ewa/Kapolei allocations include of $135 million for the University of Hawaii West Oahu (UHWO) campus, school repairs $1.4 million, and court $25.4 million. Har described other 2007 legislative successes to include HB 1008 – which provides for every-child-health insurance, SB 1917 – affordable housing (and a future commitment), HB 226 – limitations on greenhouse gases, and grants-in-aid for Kroc Center ($2 million), Easter Seals, weed-and-seed and the Malama Learning Center.  She referenced an issue that Member Dudley had expressed support, HR 259 – forming a task force on smart growth.  Har pointed to successful passage of two of her bills, passage which she characterized as unheard of for a freshman:  HB 776 – limiting vendors from charging different rates from credit cards and cash and HB 777 – establishing a program to forgive teacher college loans over 6-years of school teaching.  Har reported that she and Senator Gabbard were appointed to an investigative committee to revise the beverage container legislation and expressed gladness that she felt her skills as a land-use attorney were valuable to the community.  Har encouraged the community to write to Governor Lingle to have the UHWO funds released.  Golojuch moved and Young seconded that the Makakilo/Kapolei/Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board No. 34 to send a letter requesting Governor Lingle to release funding for the Judiciary and University of Hawaii West Oahu and other area projects.  Without objection, Chair Timson declared the motion passed unanimously, 8-0-0.  Aye:  Dudley, Golojuch, Kane, Ross, Timson, Yamamoto, Young.  Mike Golojuch Jr. thanked Har for her efforts, saying that she had passed legislation while her predecessor had not been able to; Har said that her experience was that everyone at the legislature was moving forward together.  Carolyn Golojuch reported that substitute teacher need help, that they were told that their settlement could not be funded because the State has no funds; Har explained that the House had passed out legislation, not as was requested by the substitutes, but for a lesser amount and that the State’s income projections are bleak for the next six years. Chair Timson expressed her thanks for Har’s office support, saying that Har’s staff had been very helpful.

Senator Mike Gabbard – Legislative Report – Senator Gabbard expressed his mahalo to Ross for her assistance and past community service, and presented her with lei.  Gabbard distributed a legislative report and highlighted points form the publication.  Gabbard expressed his appreciation of Chancellor Awakuni and Awakuni’s commitment to developing the UHWO, reported that he has actually been to the construction site of the North-South Road and that the road is – after 30 years of waiting – actually becoming a reality, and agreed with the successes of the immediate past legislature for the Ewa/Kapolei area.  He reported that $55 million is in the budget for the North-South Road completion of December 2008, that $20 million is there for the widening of Fort Barrette Road and $17.2 million is there for the East-West connector road system.  He reported plans for the Kamokila Boulevard extension is down to 925 feet, 600 feet on Campbell Company land and 325 feet for the City.  He reported a planned community meeting on June 2, 2007.  Michael Golojuch asked about any possible motions of support from the Board about release of funds; Gabbard said he felt nothing else was necessary and that he would personally talk to Governor Lingle.  Gabbard said that he felt the group effort from the legislature was from all islands; all recognizing that the infrastructures were needed most in Ewa. Chair Timson thanked Gabbard for the support from his and Har’s office staff.  Gabbard also acknowledged leaving Board member Buckley and thanked him for his service. 

Chair Timson reminded the audience that the room would go dark at 9:45 p.m.

·         Dudley said that a concern had been expressed to him that the Kalaeloa site has the potential to become a dumping ground for many agencies, saying that concern about a Scientology center being established there should be taken to the City Council.  Chair Timson said that land use planning for Kalaeloa is not a City Council issue, but is usually the State’s Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA), with the contact through Tesha Malama (who is to be on the agenda later), or in this specific case the land is directly under the U.S. Navy’s management.

Michael Golojuch asked Smith about the failure of the Department of Transportation (DOT) to attend the meeting last month, saying that the request had been for Highways to attend and report on community roadways; Dudley said the DOT Deputy Director had told him (Dudley) that the DOT could not attend the May meeting but would be at the June 2007 meeting.  Both Chair Timson and Vice Chair Golojuch said that they were not told.

Carolyn Golojuch thanked Governor Lingle for being one of fifty U.S. governors who, according to the Chicago Tribune, are asking for the return of National Guard units to their home states.  Michael Golojuch Jr. expressed disappointment over a veto of a state bill to eliminate Electoral-College-type voting, which the House did not vote to over-ride, although the State Senate did. 

Senator Mike Gabbard – Michael Golojuch reported that Senator Gabbard had said he had concluded with the legislative report earlier.
