4. Graffiti Increase: Member Manley-Koch noted an uptick in graffiti on buildings and asked what HPD is doing. Lt. Baysa clarified that graffiti can be reported by witnesses who can positively identify the perpetrator, and that he would check for data on the uptick.

Gogal committed to follow up. Chair Ishikawa agreed to arrange a follow-up meeting or call with Lt. Gogal to address community notification procedures.

Member Umaki later asked if ENV does soil testing for leakage from pipes. Deputy Director Brieck said ENV has regular maintenance programs to check all pipes and repair any structural defects.
6. Security Issues: Member Umaki raised concerns regarding the security at the Whitmore location and preventing the same issues that happened at the Kahuku SRF. Mr. Cummings clarified the illegal dumping issues occur off-site in areas with low lit roads that have accessible sewer manholes to dump their illegal loads.
7. Communication: Member Cuaresma raised concerns that community members were not notified when truck volumes at the facility increased; and inquired about permitting and data for cesspools. Mr. Cummings acknowledged her comments and mentioned regulations of cesspools falls under State jurisdiction.
