2. CITY EMERGENCY & FIRST RESPONDER MONTHLY REPORTS — [0:03:01]

Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) – [0:03:12]: Captain K. Callron of the Nānakuli Fire Station provided the monthly statistics for March 2026.
• March 2026 Statistics: 3 nuisance fires; 5 activated alarms with no fire; 121 medical emergencies; 0 motor vehicle collisions with pedestrians; 1 motor vehicle crash collision; 1 mountain rescue; 2 ocean rescues; and 3 hazardous materials incidents.
• Fire Safety Tip: Evacuation planning. Residents are encouraged to have an emergency preparedness plan in place for environmental emergencies, fires, or natural disasters. Familiarize yourself with at least two escape routes from your home. Leave early to avoid entrapment. Have a predetermined meeting place. Bring a go-bag with essential items for family and pets.
• Report:

Questions, comments, and concerns followed — [0:05:19]
1. 911 Call Volume Since Flooding: A resident asked how many 911 calls HFD received since the recent flooding. Captain Callron stated he did not have that statistic on hand but committed to obtaining the information and reporting back at the next meeting.
2. Flood Response Commendation and Drainage Solution Suggestion: Billionaire thanked HFD and specifically Bravo 6 for assisting during the flooding, noting that HFD was the only agency to communicate a response plan. He also suggested contacting the Army Corps of Engineers and coordinating with them to create a drainage solution similar to what was done during the first storm.

Honolulu Police Department (HPD) – [0:07:26]: Corporal Cory Makino provided the crime statistics for March 2026.
• March 2026 Statistics: Motor vehicle thefts — district total: 26; Nānākuli-Māʻili area: 4. Burglaries — district: 15; area: 5. Thefts — district: 112; area: 18. Unauthorized entry into motor vehicle — district: 28; area: 4. Traffic citations: 12 speeding, 157 moving violations, 25 parking violations, 474 total. Total calls for service — district: 8,473; Nānākuli-Māʻili area: 1,422.

Honolulu Ocean Safety Department – [0:09:22]: Captain Kelly Krohne provided the March 2026 statistics.
• March 2026 Statistics: 33 total 911 calls for the month. A five-person rescue at Nānākuli Beach Park following a rainstorm — all rescued safely. Overdue swimmers found at Kahe Point swimming in post-storm water. A major multi-vehicle accident responded to at Māʻili Beach Park. A code 1040 (shark sighting) at Electric Beach, with several additional shark sightings in the area. A deceased whale found on the rocks past Kahe Point; could not be removed due to deterioration and southerly winds. Monk seal sightings at Kahe Point. Yokohama Beach closed. Road at Kahe Beach Park was closed for repairs. A recovered fishing buoy was returned to the University of Hawaiʻi Fish Aggregating Devices (FAD) program. Krohne noted the deployment of an updated iPad-based watchtower system for lieutenants, mobile responders, and rescue skis, with full rollout anticipated by May 2026 or June 2026.

Questions, comments, and concerns followed — [0:11:48]
1. Junior Guard Program: Krohne announced that information on the Junior Guard program — expected to begin in June — will be provided at the next meeting.
2. On-Duty Lifeguard Drinking Incident – Policy Clarification: Meyers asked about news reports of lifeguards reportedly drinking at Ala Moana Beach, noting she wanted a fair and accurate understanding before drawing conclusions. Krohne confirmed the incident occurred in a different district, that the employees were believed to be on the clock at the time, and that the investigation is ongoing and above his level. He explained that all Ocean Safety employees must sign off on an alcohol and drug program, submit to random testing throughout the year, and are required to remove their uniform and radio off when off-duty.
3. Japan Earthquake Tsunami Alert – Lack of Follow-Up Notification: De La Cruz asked about the recent earthquake alert from Japan and whether Ocean Safety received tsunami notifications. Krohne explained that dispatch is in contact with the Pacific Tsunami Center and information is relayed immediately when a confirmed threat exists. For the recent event, he did not receive a text alert — which he described as the first time this has occurred in his career — and committed to looking into why no follow-up notification was issued. De La Cruz asked what the community should do in such situations. Krohne stated that for all confirmed tsunami events, information is broadcast via news, radio, and the official website.

3. FILLING OF BOARD VACANCIES: Two (2) At-Large Vacancies — [0:16:35]

Governor Josh Green’s Representative – Department of Agriculture Chair Sharon Hurd — [0:41:38]: Sharon Hurd, Governor’s Representative from the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity, reported online and highlighted the following:
• Departure of Director Mike Lambert: Hurd reported the departure of Mike Lambert as Director of the Department of Law Enforcement. His resignation was based on retirement procedures at the city and county level. Hurd noted that Lambert was instrumental in passing Duke’s Law in the prior year.
• Emergency Farmer Relief Program: Governor Green awarded $2.5 million to the Emergency Farmer Relief Program following the emergency proclamation. Approximately 1,600 applications were verified and eligible. Recipients will receive checks of up to $1,500 maximum. The first tranche of approximately 40 checks was sent; approximately 60 additional checks were expected by end of that week. All 1,600 checks are expected to be distributed within approximately three weeks, pending return of signed verification emails and W-9 forms from applicants.
• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Declaration: Governor Green secured a FEMA declaration for the State of Hawaiʻi, providing federal funding for public infrastructure (schools, roads, public buildings). Personal losses are generally covered by insurance; any federal funding for personal losses will require verification and will take additional time.

Questions, comments, and concerns followed — [0:44:57]
1. Coverage for Non-Flood-Zone Residents without Homeowners Insurance: Kalei asked what assistance will be available to kūpuna and residents in areas that flooded but were not designated flood zones and who do not have homeowners’ insurance, noting the flooding was caused by failure to maintain streams and drainage – not by homeowner negligence. Hurd acknowledged the comment and committed to conveying the concern to the governor’s office.
2. Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR Flood Mitigation Study): Austin requested that DLNR’s engineering department present the 2014 west side flood mitigation study to the neighborhood board, noting that approximately 70% of the land on the west side is owned by DLNR and large landowners who have not adequately addressed flood infrastructure. He referenced House Bill 2059 of the 2022 legislative session and called for renewed state engagement. Hurd acknowledged the request, asking for clarification and confirming she understood the request for DLNR engineers to appear before the board to discuss flood mitigation priorities.
3. Accountability for Infrastructure Neglect and Government Response: Grayson expressed frustration that after the 2008 flood, nothing substantial was done despite much discussion. She stated that city and county crews never cleaned ditches and drains on Hakimo Road or Paakea Road prior to the storm, and that residents were left without meaningful help for eleven days. She called on the government to bear financial responsibility, asserting that the cause of flooding was infrastructure neglect, not the fault of residents.
4. Community Flood Response Coordination and Long-Term Solution Proposal: Billionaire thanked Hurd for helping pass Senate Bill (SB) 1249 and highlighted that the community first learned of the flooding crisis through social media. He suggested sandbags near Powerhouse Church as a short-term diversion measure, while recommending that the governor direct the Army Corps of Engineers to coordinate a longer-term drainage solution with landowners. He questioned why residents had to call community volunteers for assistance rather than government agencies.
5. State Dam Purchase Concerns and Need for Engineering Solutions: Perry expressed concern about the state potentially purchasing a dam, citing the liability to taxpayers if it were to fail. She stated that the ongoing flooding is a result of landowner neglect and lack of infrastructure maintenance, and called for the Corps of Engineers and hydrologists to develop a permanent water management solution. She asked when FEMA money will arrive in Hawaiʻi.
6. Governor’s FEMA Spending Priorities: Tector asked Hurd to obtain from the governor a written report outlining his priorities for how FEMA money will be spent, particularly regarding flood zone versus non-flood-zone areas, Capital Improvement Project (CIP) improvements, and agricultural land impacted by the storm, so the board can hold the administration accountable and ensure funds are not diverted mid-stream.
7. Emergency Siren Activation and Shelter Coordination During Storm: Meyers raised two concerns: first, that Hawaiʻi Emergency Management (HIEMA) did not activate sirens to warn camping, houseless, and offline residents of the approaching storm, and that lessons from Lāhainā demonstrated that sirens should be used beyond hurricane and tsunami events. Second, she asked how the state HIEMA and city Department of Emergency Management are coordinating to ensure primary and secondary emergency evacuation sites are established, noting that when Nānākuli High closed as a shelter for the school to reopen, residents on Hakimo Road had nowhere to go and Red Cross offered no alternative solution. Hurd acknowledged both concerns.
8. Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Federal Grant Funding for Hazard Mitigation: Razon-Olds asked whether the governor is pursuing BRIC grant funding available through FEMA for hazard mitigation — including wildfire and flood preparation — noting that billions of dollars are available. She recommended that DLNR and multiple state departments coordinate to prepare hazard documentation required to support a BRIC application.
9. Timeline for Emergency Farmer Relief Distribution: Weaver asked about the timeline for the Emergency Farmer Relief distribution. Hurd explained that applications closed Friday, March 27, 2026; processing began the following week; checks began going out around Tuesday, April 21, 2026. The second tranche was expected by end of that week. All 1,600 checks are expected within three weeks, depending on how quickly recipients return signed verification statements and W-9 forms.

State Senator Samantha DeCorte — [1:03:10]: Senator Samantha DeCorte reported in person and highlighted the following:
• FEMA Flood Map Update: FEMA issued a determination letter effective Wednesday, June 10, 2026, affecting approximately 500 parcels along the entire coast — 21 parcels in Nānākuli and 144 parcels in Māʻili. Senator DeCorte committed to sharing the flood map link with Chair Agustin so residents can check their parcel.
• Flood Response Update: Senator DeCorte recognized Department of Transportation Director Ed Sniffen for hands-on deployment of pump trucks balancing demands between the North Shore and Leeward sides. Her office has been providing resources and equipment to powerhouse gym and residents in the back roads off Paakea Road. Construction materials are urgently needed — those who can donate or receive supplies should contact her office.
• Kolekole Pass: Through collaboration with the Army, Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT), and HIEMA, Kolekole Pass was opened during the water main break in Nānākuli, providing traffic relief. DeCorte encouraged greater awareness and use of the pass during future emergencies.

Questions, comments, and concerns followed — [1:05:40]
1. Kahe Area Road Safety – State vs. City Enforcement Gap: Austin described the situation during the Kona Low – 70 people were evacuated by helicopter, Farrington Highway’s eastbound lane was compromised, and the state appropriately posted road closures. However, the city is not doing their diligent work and allowing residents to access the flooded areas and the residents are disrespecting HPD.
FEMA Assistance and Flood Insurance Requirements for Newly Mapped Properties: Tector asked whether homeowners newly designated in the flood zone are required to use their insurance before accessing FEMA funds. DeCorte confirmed that the new flood maps effective June 10, 2026 will require affected homeowners to obtain flood insurance, representing additional financial burden. She noted the Waiʻanae Coast has the highest proportion of newly flood-mapped parcels in the district.
2. FEMA Priority for Flood Zone Residents and Insurance Disqualification Concerns: Meyers asked whether FEMA will give priority to residents in the new flood zone and whether those without flood insurance will be disqualified from federal assistance. DeCorte explained that since the flood maps do not take effect until June 10, 2026, the disaster proclamation was critical to ensure FEMA must step in and provide the funds. Meyers noted Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA’s) $100,000 allocation for farmers (up to $5,000 per farmer) would only assist approximately 20 farmers and questioned whether the legislature will provide sufficient funding. DeCorte committed to following up with the governor on his specific plan for distributing FEMA funds across the Waiʻanae district.
3. Kolekole Pass Traffic Count and Coordination Concerns: Board Member Kong shared his experience attempting to use Kolekole Pass on the day it opened and noted that guards at the gate did not initially have clear information about allowing civilian vehicles through.

State Representative Darius Kila – [1:14:18]: No representative present. Chair Agustin announced the Transportation committees are advancing over 50 bills into conference and he was present at the State Capitol.

Councilmember Andria Tupola – [1:14:44]: Councilmember Andria Tupola reported in person and highlighted the following:
• BWS Landslide – Makaha: The landslide on the BWS property came within approximately one foot of homes, with rocks reaching far up the mountain. Representative Tupola called the situation dangerous and requested a future BWS presentation to the board.
• Flood Response – Paakea Road and Iliili Road: Tupola confirmed that HDOT acquired Paakea Road in 2024 and will provide more information on flood mitigation. She thanked HFD for providing two pumps for Illiili Road after HDOT was spread thin, and a private property owner who allowed water to be pumped onto her land. During the March 2026 Kona Lows, one truck deployed on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 made no progress due to ongoing rain; a second effort during the Thursday, March 19, 2026 to Friday March 20, 2026 Kona Low led to full coordination by Tuesday, March 24 2026. Personal properties are being assisted by Nānaʻikopono Protestant Church (Pastor Allan), which is maintaining a database of households receiving help.
• Landfill – Makaiwa Hills / City Budget: Tupola reported discovering $30 million in the city budget for land acquisition at Makaiwa Hills, adjacent to the existing Waimanalo Gulch. The community had been told at multiple town halls that no new landfill would come to the west side. She confirmed that Campbell (the landowner) says the land is not for sale. She will get a letter penned to remove the $30 million from the city budget. She also noted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruled Waimanalo Gulch needed to close due to runoff, and questioned whether EPA would approve an adjacent site with identical flooding concerns. Upcoming meetings: Wednesday, April 22, 2026 (Environmental Services (ENV) presentation at Kapolei Neighborhood Board); Wednesday, April 29, 2026 (second meeting online — resolution to end landfill); Friday, May 1, 2026 (second reading of city budget Bill 23); Wednesday, June 3, 2026 (final resolution reading). Resolution 267 proposes a one-year task force of top waste, recycling, and reuse experts to develop a plan to end the need for landfills.
• Chief of Police Selection Timeline: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 – semi-finalists interviewed; Wednesday, May 6, 2026 – commission selects finalists; Thursday, May 14, 2026 – PBS Insights broadcasts finalist interviews; Monday, May 18, 2026 – finalists meet individually with mayor; Tuesday, May 19, 2026 – commissioners convene in pairs to interview each candidate; Wednesday, May 20, 2026 – commission votes, new chief of police will be selected.

Questions, comments, and concerns followed — [1:22:20]
1. 2014 Flood Study Currency and Determining Flood-Related Coverage: Lewis asked whether agencies are using the 2014 flood study and whether it has been updated to reflect significant development since then, and how they will determine who is entitled to flood-related coverage. Tupola directed her to a city- and county-sponsored disaster resource fair on Saturday, 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. at the Waiʻanae Mall, where representatives from the governor’s office, FEMA, the city, Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), and real property tax will be available to answer questions and process applications in person.
2. Keaʻau Beach Park Road Safety and City Accountability: Austin described the ongoing safety hazard at Keaʻau Beach Park — the road is destroyed, trespassing continues despite signage, and HPD enforcement is being disrespected. He asked how the city will be held accountable. Tupola committed to following up with HPD on why allowances have been made in enforcement and what steps are being taken.
3. Developer Drainage Failures: Shinsato raised the flooding at Hale Makana O Māʻili, noting that the developer never fulfilled subdivision rules requiring installation of drainage facilities. He called for action, not another study. Tupola confirmed the project has a long and complicated history — a canal trench was dug but stopped due to protests; cement was poured in the canal for safety reasons; a new culvert now needs to be built. The project just went out for bid, with award expected by Tuesday, June 30, 2026 and construction to follow. She acknowledged having five separate meetings with four city agencies to resolve one drain issue.
4. Drainage Progress Timeline and Interim Pump Solution: Connor (adjacent to Hale Makana O Māʻili) described flood water consistently entering his property during each of the last two Kona Lows, with rental cars underwater and renters wading to their vehicles. He asked whether a resolution can realistically happen in his lifetime. Tupola acknowledged the delays caused by the redesign and rebid process and is committed to updating the community. Connor also suggested as an interim measure having the city purchase two large pumps to blast water from the parking lot into the on-property drain during storms — a legal and practical short-term option.
5. Demands for Lasting Flood Solutions: Kalei expressed frustration on the lack of tangible solutions for flooding after many years in office, stating that the community helps itself while government agencies are slow to respond. Tupola responded that she has submitted 17 pages of amendments to city budget Bills 22 and 23, all of which were accepted, and that the city budget – specifically CIP – is the primary mechanism through which infrastructure improvements are funded. She encouraged the community to testify on Bills 22 and 23.
6. CIP Priority for West Side and Street Name Change Process: Tector commended Tupola’s overall efforts and asked whether the west side can secure first priority for CIP improvements, and how the street name change process works. Tupola explained that street name changes are within DOT’s purview; a board resolution to DPP can initiate the process. Tupola also explained that CIP must be fought for continuously — she has had the same CIP meeting with city officials multiple times for single projects.
7. Mike Lambert Situation, Stop Sign Replacement, and Landfill Transparency: Cowles expressed his personal opinion that Director Mike Lambert is being treated unfairly given his strong record, thanked Tupola for replacing a stop sign in the area, and raised concern that the landfill plan was never brought before the Nānākuli-Māʻili Neighborhood Board despite directly impacting the district.
8. Makaiwa Hills Landfill – District Impact and Retroactive Benefits Request: Meyers confirmed Makaiwa Hills is in the board’s district and raised the question of a retroactive host community benefits package for all the years of Waimanalo Gulch tonnage, and for future impacts since Farrington Highway will still be the truck route. She also questioned the ENV process, since the decision does not require city council approval. Tupola confirmed the plan was not disclosed until it appeared in the budget; tomorrow’s ENV meeting will be the first time ENV must answer public questions. She noted the land-use commission would still need to approve any landfill permit since the site is not zoned for that use.
9. Government Pay Raises for Elected Officials: Aio asked about reported pay raises for elected officials and city employees. Tupola clarified that two separate salary commissions — one at the state level and one at the city level — have purview over compensation. Both hold public hearings, though elected officials are not permitted to testify on their own compensation decisions.
10. Eminent Domain for Landfill Site and Landfill Elimination Task Force: Weaver asked whether the city can use eminent domain to compel the land sale for the landfill. Tupola responded that Resolution 267 proposes a one-year task force to eliminate the need for landfills entirely — making eminent domain unnecessary. She referenced her research visits to China, Denmark, and Spain, where landfills have been eliminated. Prior to the Kona Low, the only materials going to Waimanalo Gulch were ash (140,000 tons/year), automatic shredder residue (42,000 tons/year), and sludge (40,000 tons/year). Finding alternatives for those three waste streams would eliminate the landfill need. Chair Agustin noted the board attended site visits to the municipal waste facilities and requested that one or two consistent board members be included in the task force. Tupola welcomed board representation.

Hawaiki – Member of BW Digital – Fiber Optic Submarine Cable Landing Facilities Project Update – David Sleser, Leia Half, and Jennifer Cruz — [2:08:39]: David Sleser, Leia Half, and Jennifer Cruz attended in person to provide a presentation addressing questions raised at the prior board meeting.
• Background: Hawaiki’s cable has been part of Hawaiʻi’s digital infrastructure since 2018, connecting Hawaiʻi to the US West Coast, American Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, and Australia, and introduced long-needed competition to a previously incumbent-dominated market.
• Project Purpose: No new subsea cables are being installed. The project makes the existing cable landing site “future-ready” by installing three underground conduits (pipes) extending approximately 3,000 feet offshore. This allows future cable operators to land at the site without requiring major new shoreline construction. Future cables must go through their own separate permitting processes.
• Installation Method: Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) bores through solid bedrock up to 150 feet below the seafloor, avoiding all coral reefs. Pipes will emerge in sandy conditions at approximately 60 feet of water depth and rest 2–3 feet below the seabed.
• Marine Protection Measures: Near-shore marine survey completed; coral and sensitive habitats mapped to 3,200 feet. Measures include: avoiding all contact with coral reefs; avoiding interactions with listed marine species; scheduling activities outside sensitive periods; trained dedicated observers present at all times; daily observer reports; work halted if listed species enter the project area; monk seal and marine species sightings reported promptly.
• Community Engagement and Benefits: Ongoing since September 2024, including open-door sessions in Nānākuli-Māʻili. Project scale reduced from six to three conduits in direct response to community and environmental input. A scholarship program is being established to develop local talent. Community benefits include greater internet competition (helping moderate prices), improved resilience against outages, and enhanced access to education, remote work, healthcare, and public safety services.

Questions, comments, and concerns followed — [2:16:17]
1. 2022 Cable Breach and Foreign Access to Personal Data: Kalei raised concerns about a reported 2022 cable breach allegedly involving China and Korea, in which personal information was compromised and $5 million in taxpayer funds was used for remediation. Sleser stated that Hawaiki’s cable was not affected and that, as an infrastructure provider and not a service provider, Hawaiki does not hold customer data.
2. Community and Native Hawaiian Benefit from the Project: Kong asked how the Nānākuli-Māʻili community and Native Hawaiians specifically benefit from the project. Sleser explained that Hawaiki provides the infrastructure enabling data delivery into Hawaiʻi which enables local internet service providers to offer better, more competitive services. The project also creates local construction jobs.
3. Native Hawaiian Community Benefits Package and Scholarship Request: Tector noted that the community — comprising a high proportion of Native Hawaiians — has not yet received a formal community benefits package, and that key project partners are receiving funding and communication opportunities not currently accessible to the public. Sleser clarified that the project is privatley funded. She asked that scholarships for students in the 96792 area be formally included in the project proposal, and that updates from the partnership with Kuleana Coral be provided to the board. Half clarfied that the cable in Inner Island which is separate from the long call cable and confirmed that Hawaiki is working with Kūlana Koral and cultural practitioners and will keep the board updated.
4. Cultural Assessment Survey Conductors and Scope: Razon-Olds asked who conducted the cultural assessment surveys for the project. Sleser stated that three to four surveys have been completed over time — the first in 2017 at the initial project site, and two more recently by ASM (architects and cultural assessors). ASM is currently working to navigate recently raised cultural questions with input from practitioners in the area.
5. Traffic Impact during Construction under Farrington Highway: Razon-Olds asked about the plan for construction traffic associated with boring under Farrington Highway and how this will impact already congested traffic flow. Sleser explained that conduits will be bored approximately 60–70 feet below the highway. Construction equipment transport will be scheduled outside of peak traffic hours.
6. Community Burden and Request for Understanding: Weaver expressed a sense of heaviness — not directed at Hawaiki personally — at having to accept yet another infrastructure project layered onto a community already dealing with Hawaiian Electric, waste facilities, and traffic burdens. Sleser acknowledged the feeling and stated that Hawaiki is working on additional initiatives that he hopes to share at a future meeting.
7. Cable Snooping – Data Security and Community Protection: De La Cruz asked how the community is protected from cable snooping and data interception. Sleser explained that fiber optic cables transmit data as flashes of light at specific rates through hair-thin glass fibers. It is not possible to interpret the data without physically breaking into the cable and connecting specialized equipment at the landing station itself. The facilities are highly secured. Additionally, data can be doubly encrypted at the point of entry into the cable.
8. Path Forward with DPP and Land and Water Committee: Chair Agustin closed the discussion, noting that the board will continue working with Hawaiki through the Department of Planning and Permitting process. She stated that the Land and Water Committee is currently restructuring following board membership changes and asked that all future communications be directed to her for relay to the appropriate committee members. She also requested that Hawaiki keep the board informed of any permitting developments.

6. RESIDENTS’/COMMUNITY CONCERNS — [2:28:11]

Nānākuli High School Administration Accountability – Alumni Perspective – [2:28:34]: Lewis expressed deep concern about school administration and staff at Nānākuli High School. She noted that 5 of her 10 moʻopuna graduated from Nānākuli, while 2 will not – a painful reality she attributes to how the school is being run. She asked who is monitoring the school to ensure children receive proper education and scholarships, and called on the board and community stakeholders to hold school leadership accountable. She also suggested the Hawaiki representative consider building a new football field to give back to the school and community.

Hawaiian Electric Power Outages, Infrastructure Capacity, and Landfill History – [2:32:40]: Shinsato called for a Hawaiian Electric representative to be invited to a future board meeting, noting that the corridor from Lualualei Road to Nānākuli Avenue experiences frequent power outages. He raised concerns about whether existing electrical, water, and sewage infrastructure can support the volume of new affordable housing under construction. He also noted that the original 2012 landfill study identified Kapaa Quarry as the top candidate site, but after a council chairman from that district intervened and a re-study was conducted, three Leeward Coast sites entered the top five — a disparity he could not explain. Austin reiterated the urgency of the 2014 DLNR flood mitigation study and stated that the new flood zone maps effectively force landowners to acquire flood insurance, which he characterized as entrapment.

Proposed Landfill on Agricultural Land, Cable Breach, and Ancestral Burials – [2:36:07]: Kalei noted that the proposed new landfill site is on land James Campbell originally designated for Hawaiian homestead housing — to stop homesteaders from dying on waitlists — and cautioned the community not to remain passive. She reiterated concerns about the 2022 cable breach involving China and Korea, and the $5 million in taxpayer funds used to address it. She also disclosed, as a long-time resident near Waimanalo Gulch, that ancestral iwi (burials) are located at the site and the city has never acknowledged this to residents. She called on the community to stand together to protect their ancestors.

Nānākuli High School Academic Data and Principal Award Concerns – [2:38:56]: A resident expressed concern about Nānākuli High and Intermediate School’s reported statistics, noting that only approximately 9% of students are meeting proficiency standards while more than 60% are absent, yet the school has received national recognition. The speaker alleged that a principal received an award for achievements accomplished by former Board Member Kaui Asinsin, and that a grievance filed with the school’s CAS (Community Advisory School) was dismissed for insufficient evidence despite having audio recordings. The speaker called on the board to intervene on behalf of students and families.

Retaliation against Advocates at Nānākuli High and Call for Community Action – [2:41:00]: Asinsin confirmed that retaliation is occurring against those who speak up on behalf of students and families at Nānākuli High. She stated that the principal received a national award for achievements she and her family accomplished — working through injury — without any recognition. She urged parents to ask questions, research organizations claiming to serve the community, and use discernment.

Landfill Opposition and Centralized Waste Management Critique – [2:43:53]: Kapua addressed the landfill, noting it is on the community’s coast even if not in their zip code. Encouraged attendance at the upcoming neighborhood board meeting, commended Councilmember Tupola’s efforts, and called for a real plan for a resolution. She suggested that each moku bear its own waste burden rather than centralizing everything on the Leeward Coast.

Parent Concern – Individual Education Program (IEP) Student’s Success and School Legitimacy – [2:46:43]: Fuata expressed concern after hearing the previous speakers’ critiques of the school. Her son – a special-needs student with an IEP – is currently on the principal’s list at Nānākuli High and thriving in the Poly Club. She asked the board whether the concerns being raised mean that her son’s accomplishments may not be real or properly supported, and whether anyone is aware of the true situation at the school. Chair Agustin committed to addressing her concern directly after the meeting.

7. CITY & FEDERAL OFFICIALS MONTHLY REPORTS – [2:49:07]

[2:49:08] – Chair Agustin took the meeting out of order and moved the Army Representative up the agenda.
