Beginning March 24\, 2026 DFM dredged Kaukonahua Stream seven days a week\, removing approxima tely 5\,400 truckloads of material from both the Otake Camp and Haona Stre et sides\, while also addressing storm drain infrastructure and installing a temporary equipment crossing. Weed Circle was used as a staging site an d will be restored within three months\; preliminary soil testing showed c ontaminants below concern levels\, with formal Department of Health testin g still to come. Mayor Blangiardi thanked the community for their patience and praised the State DOT\, National Guard\, Army\, Navy\, and volunteers \, emphasizing the City's continued commitment to listening and responding to community concerns throughout the long road to recovery.\n\nQuestions\ , comments\, and concerns followed – [0:31:06].\n1. Restoration of Farm Access Roads: Frank Tramontano asked whether Road A\, one of two access ro ads off Farrington Avenue past Pioneer Road (used by approximately 36 smal l-acreage farmers)\, will be restored. He noted it has been in place for o ver 40 years and is critical for fire and safety. Deputy Director Mamizuka confirmed familiarity with Roads A and B and stated that Road A was pulle d out due to a non-functional pipe culvert that was reset\, and the team w ill address Road A's restoration as part of the cleanup.\n2. Emergency Pro clamation Extension and Emergency Siren Usage: Barb Luke-Boe asked whether the emergency proclamation could be extended beyond June 7\, 2026\, and h ow flood-related emergency sirens would be activated. Managing Director Kr ishna Jayaram confirmed that proclamations are nearly always extended in n atural disaster situations and that the Governor's office has indicated an extension is forthcoming. Mayor Blangiardi acknowledged that the decision not to activate sirens during the Kona Low events was controversial\, exp laining that first responders had advised residents to shelter in place. H e added that the City will review siren protocols\, including a possible v oice retrofit\, and noted that several North Shore sirens are currently no n-functional — a matter under state jurisdiction to repair.\n3. Road Run off Flooding on Haona Street: Ed Subia raised concern that his property fl ooded in all three flood events not only from the stream but from road run off — water flows by gravity into his yard as it is the lowest point on the road. He noted existing storm drains do not adequately capture the run off. Mayor Blangiardi acknowledged the concern and asked Subia to provide his contact information to DFM for follow-up on storm drain issues.\n4. BW S Reservoir Discharge Warning and Investigation Request: Otake resident Gr ace\, who has lived along the river for years\, shared that her home has f looded three times and that she raised concerns about the river's deterior ating condition two years ago with no response. She noted that no warning system was in place during any of the three flood events and called for an investigation into BWS reservoir discharge below the dam. She urged offic ials to prioritize community safety and called for greater empathy and acc ountability.\n5. Farrington Highway Ditch Capacity and Plantation Road Dra inage: Milton Ahinu thanked the City for dredging and noted that during a prior storm the State pumped the drain on the day of the event but water o verflowed within 30 minutes. He expressed concern that the ditch\, which u sed to be wider and deeper when he worked on the plantation\, has been com promised — and that old plantation ditches feeding into the area have be en buried and flattened. He asked whether there are plans to restore that drainage infrastructure along Farrington Highway just across Waialua Unite d Church of Christ. Deputy Director Mamizuka committed to following up and getting his contact information.\n6. Rebuild Case Management and Road Rep air: A community member thanked the City and DPP Director Apuna for the Re build Oʻahu events\, then asked who is leading case management for the re build and whether road damage from cleanup efforts will be addressed. Mayo r Blangiardi said he would follow up on case management and confirmed ongo ing road recovery discussions with state DOT. Deputy Director Mamizuka not ed that island-wide pothole patching has fallen behind due to resources be ing concentrated in Waialua.\n7. Drain Clearance at Waialua Beach Park and Distribution Center Appreciation: Manu Anana thanked Deputy Director Mami zuka and DFM for clearing the drain near Aliʻi Beach Park after a prior t own hall request\, noting that the cleared drain made a meaningful differe nce during the flood — even though her home still flooded with 20 inches of water. She also commended the City for staffing the Waialua distributi on center with navigators who walked flood victims through available servi ces\, specifically citing Maka and Napua Casson-Fisher for their coordinat ion.\n8. Haleʻiwa Beach Park Mauka Canoe Hālau – Next Steps: Dave Fuga of Manu O Ke Kai Canoe Club expressed enthusiasm for the proposed canoe h ālau at the mauka side of Haleʻiwa Beach Park\, noting the club hosts ov er 200 kids and is growing. He asked what the next steps are. Chair Pahinu i noted the next presentation by Jason Wool would address this item direct ly.\n9. Extent of Stream Dredging at Long Bridge: Derek Gamiao asked how f ar downstream the dredging will proceed\, expressing concern that if the w ork stops while the stream is still obstructed downstream\, flooding will continue. Deputy Director Mamizuka stated the extent depends on the emerge ncy proclamation\, and Mayor Blangiardi stated his confidence the proclama tion will be extended. DOT Director Sniffen has also publicly stated plans to dredge Kaiaka Bay.\n10. Streambank Softening at Haona Street Bend: Rap hael Maldonado asked whether the bend in the stream near the temporary cro ssing — where water backed up into Otake — would be dredged and soften ed\, and whether the opposite bank (Agricultural land side) running to the ocean will be addressed. Deputy Director Mamizuka confirmed plans to soft en the bend and add large boulders to protect agricultural property owned by Paul Lindo. Work on the Agricultural land side of the river to the ocea n is not currently in the plan but may follow.\n11. Debris in Bay Near Man o O Ke Kai Canoe Club: Member Andersen raised concern about trees and debr is washed into the bay in front of Manu O Ke Kai Canoe Club\, asking wheth er removal is planned. Mayor Blangiardi committed to following up.\n12. We ed Circle Trees &\; Agricultural Community Case Management: Member Phil ips urged the City to immediately address dirt buried around trees in Weed Circle\, warning that four months of bark and cambium coverage could kill them. Mayor Blangiardi committed to looking into it. Member Philips also raised concerns about case management access for elderly farmers facing ba rriers including undocumented status\, language\, and limited technology a ccess. Mayor Blangiardi acknowledged the City is actively working across s ectors to improve outreach to that community.\n13. Storm Drain Redesign Ne ar Waimea Bay: Member Foo asked whether storm drains near Waimea Bay could be redirected or redesigned\, noting they appear to predate the surroundi ng residential development and their current configuration channeled flood water directly into the Foodland area. Mayor Blangiardi indicated the City will look into it.\n14. Appreciation for DFM Team Efforts and Disaster Pr eparedness: Rachel Achiu thanked Deputy Director Mamizuka and the DFM team for their tireless\, dedicated work\, acknowledged the need for future im provements and better preparedness\, but noted that 60 inches of rain in 1 0 days is something nearly impossible to prepare for — sometimes you jus t get hit\, and she prays it never happens again.\n15. Kaiaka Watershed Lo ng-Term Planning &\; Community Engagement: Member Antolini thanked Depu ty Director Mamizuka and the DFM team for their tireless efforts and asked about long-term planning for the Kaiaka watershed\, specifically referenc ing the 2018 watershed study and a proposed City\, State\, Army Corps coop eration plan. She also requested that the community be included in the aft er-action review process. Mayor Blangiardi and staff acknowledged her conc erns and committed to keeping the community engaged.\n16. Emergency Procla mation Renewal &\; Assistance Center: Member Matsumoto thanked the City for the assistance center at the gym\, noting two of her family members w ere among those affected. She asked about the process for renewing the eme rgency proclamation to ensure dredging efforts continue. Managing Director Jayaram confirmed the proclamation will be renewed before it lapses.\n17. Contraflow &\; Chain Barrier Maintenance: Secretary Denzer asked for a n update on the contraflow at Waimea and the maintenance status of the cha in barrier near the mountain. The chain barrier concern was redirected as a state/DOT issue.\n18. Support for Farming Community: Member Burlew expre ssed appreciation for Member Philips advocacy on behalf of farmers and ask ed for assurance that the farming community will not be left behind. Mayor Blangiardi confirmed it remains a priority\, with a multi-sector group of over 30 advocates actively working on the issue.\n19. Soil &\; Sedimen t Orign Investigation: Member Zazueta questioned whether an investigation has been initiated into the origin of the soil and sediment\, specifically regarding possible grading on land where a gondola project is proposed. M ayor Blangiardi stated he is unfamiliar with the status of any such invest igation and committed to following up.\n20. Siren Retrofitting &\; Dole Property Staging Site: Treasurer Leinau asked about adding voice capabili ty to emergency sirens and whether there's a plan for the dirt pile deposi ted on the Dole property. Deputy Director Mamizuka explained the site was used as overflow staging and that the material will be tested and redistri buted.\n\nHaleʻiwa Beach Park Mauka Canoe Hālau Update – [1:14:19]\nJa son Wool\, District 4 Supervisor\, Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR ) presented an update on the proposed Haleʻiwa Canoe Hālau at the Mauka side of Haleʻiwa Beach Park. The project is a Department of Design and Co nstruction (DDC) capital improvement project on DPR property\, with Group 70 as consultant. The project\, originally conceived approximately 20 year s ago\, is currently in design and planning. An Environmental Assessment ( EA) is in process\, which requires presenting two alternatives (A and B). Alternative A is the preferred option\, featuring two access routes\, more parking\, and proximity to existing canoe club locations. Construction bi d is targeted for 2029\, with the facility expected to last 80–100 years despite projected sea level rise. A 30-day public comment period will be announced once the EA is posted\, and the board will be notified.\n• Pre sentation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hSaQbXdcI591lUXwlLAokfjydFhlCC LL/view?usp=drive_link\n\nQuestions\, comments\, and concerns followed – [1:18:31].\n1. Canoe Club Parking Use: Chair Pahinui asked how parking wo uld be reserved for the canoe club versus general park users. Wool explain ed that parking is open to all park users\, with three (3) truck-and-trail er stalls designated for canoe and kayak transport\, noting the Department lacks the staffing to enforce further restrictions.\n2. Community Input a nd Canoe Club Vetting: Treasurer Leinau asked if canoe clubs had been cons ulted and whether community labor could speed up the project. Wool confirm ed he had met with club representatives and their input was shared with th e design team\, and while individual donations or volunteer help are welco me\, community construction of a project this size isn't feasible at this stage.\n3. Community Involvement in Canoe Facility Construction: Treasurer Leinau asked whether the canoe community could help build the facility to speed things up\, pointing to past community efforts like Pūpūkea Beach Park as an example. Wool acknowledged the idea but noted the project is a lready underway with a consultant and project manager\, and while donation s or volunteer help would be welcome\, building a full facility from the g round up is far more complex than court repairs and restructuring it as a community-led project isn't feasible at this stage\, with groundbreaking h oped for in about three years.\n4. Environmental Assessment Comment Period and Signage: Member Antolini asked that the board be notified of the EA c omment period so community concerns can be formally submitted. She also en couraged the inclusion of meaningful signage to celebrate the purpose of t he space and noted a long-standing concern about commercial spillover from nearby restaurants. Dori Amano-Mitsui confirmed the Board will be notifie d and that these concerns can be raised during the EA comment period.\n5. Crosswalk Access: Secretary Denzer asked whether one crosswalk will be suf ficient for safety at the facility. Wool indicated that DDC is potentially exploring an additional crosswalk and that a traffic study will inform th e decision.\n\nSpecial Management Area Permit for 61-759 Papaʻiloa Road – [1:31:18]: Jim Hayes of Planning Solutions\, Inc. presented a proposed Special Management Area (SMA) Major Permit application for property at 61 -759 Papaʻiloa Road. The current dwelling was built in 1961. The proposal involves: replacing an existing open carport with a garage\; adding appro ximately 400 square feet of living space above the garage\; and enclosing approximately 200 square feet of existing deck. No development is proposed within the sea level rise exposure area or shoreline setback area. The 17 \,000-square-foot parcel easily complies with the Land Use Ordinance. The applicant will submit for an SMA permit\, followed by a DPP hearing at Hon olulu Hale and City Council zoning committee review. The property owner wa s present at the meeting.\n• Presentation: https://drive.google.com/file /d/1g-vI2D875DjV_on_iHjxzjNJ9hs1_coV/view?usp=drive_link\n\nQuestions\, co mments\, and concerns followed – [1:34:40]\n1. Archaeological and Cultur al Assessments: Vice Chair Achiu asked about archaeological/cultural asses sments and wastewater management. Hayes stated the garage is sited at the existing disturbed carport location to minimize ground disturbance\, and t hat the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) will require an archae ological inventory survey (AIS) with subsurface testing and monitoring dur ing excavation as standard SMA permit conditions.\n2. Proposed Improvement Value and Shoreline Certification: Member Antolini asked about the value of improvements and shoreline survey recertification. Hayes indicated the value is conceptual but assumed to exceed $500\,000 (triggering an SMA maj or permit) and will be presented formally in the SMA application. The waiv er line – 15 feet beyond the shoreline setback – applies\, so no new s horeline certification is required.\n3. Long-term Development Intent: Memb er Antolini noted the purchase price of $6.5 million and that the proposed improvements appear modest\, asking whether this is Phase 1 of a larger f uture build. Hayes stated he is not aware of any plans beyond what was pre sented.\n4. Shoreline Erosion Rate: Treasurer Leinau asked about shoreline erosion rates in that area. Hayes indicated that the nearest transect sho ws minimal erosion — approximately negative 0.4 feet per year — and th at the applicable study is used as required by the shoreline setback ordin ance.\n5. Archaeological Sensitivity of the Site: Member Andersen noted th at based on prior work experience in the area\, nearly every excavation un covered something of cultural or historical significance and urged the app licant to have an archaeologist on-site during any ground disturbance. Hay es confirmed SHPD protocols will be followed.\n6. Revised SMA Presentation Protocol: Chair Pahinui proposed that for this and future SMA presentatio ns\, the Board acknowledge the presentation rather than vote to support or oppose it\, and notify DPP and the City Council that any final permit app lication deviating from what was presented should be returned to the neigh borhood board for explanation.\n7. Second-Level Living Space Use: Secretar y Denzer asked about the intended use of the second-level living area abov e the garage (whether it would be a rental or vacation rental). Hayes stat ed it is not a separate unit — just additional room for the 1\,300-squar e-foot home — with only a wet bar\, no kitchen.\n\n[1:45:43] - Treasurer Leinau MOVED and Vice Chair Achiu SECONDED to send a letter to DPP and th e City Council acknowledging the presentation of the SMA permit applicatio n and requesting that\, if the final proposal deviates from what was prese nted to the board\, the applicant be required to return to the board to ex plain any changes. Discussions followed. Vice Chair Achiu noted the proper ty is located between two currently non-compliant construction projects an d emphasized the importance of the presented plan matching what is ultimat ely built. Hearing no further discussions\, the Board conducted a roll cal l vote\; 12-0-0 (Aye: Burlew\, Denzer\, Matsumoto\, Atkins\, Achiu\, Zazue ta\, Philips\, Antolini\, Foo\, Leinau\, Pahinui\, Andersen\; Nay: None\; Abstain: None.) – [1:48:33]. The motion was ADOPTED.\n\nFILLING OF VACAN T BOARD SEAT – [1:49:08]\nChair Pahinui announced the vacant board seat in Sub District 4 (Kawailoa). No residents came forward to fill the vacanc y.

North Shore Sustainable Communities Plan Rollout Update: Member Antolini asked for an update on the North Shore Sustainable Communities Plan rollout.
