00:00:24,754 --> 00:00:25,889
>>chair holeka goro inaba: kakahiaka. It is

2
00:00:25,889 --> 00:00:28,289
AUGUST 5, 2026, we are meeting

3
00:00:28,759 --> 00:00:32,359
in the west hawai'I kona civic

4
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:37,634
center. To begin, our in

5
00:00:37,634 --> 00:00:39,634
devotion. Good morning

6
00:00:41,438 --> 00:00:42,239
devotion

7
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:42,973
invocation.

8
00:00:42,973 --> 00:00:45,876
>>good morning. As I was

9
00:00:45,876 --> 00:00:49,476
invited to give the prayer and

10
00:00:53,884 --> 00:00:56,884
benediction and smile to myself.

11
00:00:57,454 --> 00:00:59,923
I always wonder how many said no

12
00:00:59,923 --> 00:01:02,993
and yes and how many invites go

13
00:01:02,993 --> 00:01:06,593
out. I really view this moment

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,108
as a sacred yes and a beautiful

15
00:01:18,108 --> 00:01:21,780
honor. I hear in my heads words

16
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:23,478
like authority, justice, hard

17
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:33,758
work. Maybe even intimidating.

18
00:01:33,758 --> 00:01:34,425
And yet those words have no

19
00:01:34,425 --> 00:01:36,600
meaning without the weight

20
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,328
behind them. As I approach

21
00:01:37,328 --> 00:01:40,164
prayer, I want to speak about

22
00:01:40,164 --> 00:01:41,132
the power of the spop

23
00:01:41,132 --> 00:01:43,132
ken word

24
00:01:43,134 --> 00:01:46,734
that we have been given. The

25
00:01:49,674 --> 00:01:50,408
words we speak this morning,

26
00:01:50,408 --> 00:01:53,408
about the decisions made, even

27
00:01:54,178 --> 00:01:55,379
yes, our creator, to cultivate

28
00:01:55,379 --> 00:01:59,579
the health of the land for the

29
00:02:02,587 --> 00:02:03,320
good of the people. As I pray

30
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,550
this morning, I want to use the

31
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:07,240
power of our word, the authority

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,360
that we have been given to pray

33
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,263
for wisdom as we move forward

34
00:02:12,263 --> 00:02:14,432
this morning in all matters.

35
00:02:14,432 --> 00:02:17,301
Amen. Would you bow your heads

36
00:02:17,301 --> 00:02:19,471
and close your eyes. Father GOD,

37
00:02:19,471 --> 00:02:22,440
together we ask in the name of

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,308
jesus or wisdom in all matters

39
00:02:24,308 --> 00:02:25,376
from financial to

40
00:02:25,376 --> 00:02:27,311
infrastructure, to even the

41
00:02:27,311 --> 00:02:29,347
voting that is going to be

42
00:02:29,347 --> 00:02:31,349
taking place across our state,

43
00:02:31,349 --> 00:02:35,386
that in the name of jesus, the

44
00:02:35,386 --> 00:02:36,587
health of the land will be

45
00:02:36,587 --> 00:02:38,987
perpetuated in the righteousness

46
00:02:39,357 --> 00:02:41,459

48
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,599
over buildings, over road maps,

49
00:02:53,471 --> 00:02:55,607
that GOD, you would give us

50
00:02:55,607 --> 00:02:57,709
unity and diversity and even in

51
00:02:57,709 --> 00:03:00,478

change that is needed and

54
00:03:10,588 --> 00:03:11,322

on behalf of hawai'I wildlife

funds. I was there in person

115
00:05:49,648 --> 00:05:50,349
and we standby our written

116
00:05:50,349 --> 00:05:53,949
testimony from JULY, and I am

117
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:54,754
here representing mostly our in

118
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,754
demonic

119
00:05:57,289 --> 00:05:59,258
demic, as I mentioned last

120
00:05:59,258 --> 00:06:01,160
month, it's not just to

121
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,160
reiterate just the palm trees,

122
00:06:06,332 --> 00:06:09,201
while it happens to our coconut

123
00:06:09,201 --> 00:06:12,238
palms would be great, and there

124
00:06:12,238 --> 00:06:14,240
are other agriculture species

125
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,474
that would be impacted from this

126
00:06:15,474 --> 00:06:17,874
spread including the great

127
00:06:19,111 --> 00:06:21,511
economic and cultural importance

128
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:32,225
such as ulu, our fruit, so I

129
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:33,593
can't reiterate the impact of

130
00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:35,828
this spread. They are across

131
00:06:35,828 --> 00:06:37,697
the island. I just would like to

132
00:06:37,697 --> 00:06:41,297
add a little story. That is

133
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:49,338
that a friend of mine from

134
00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:51,847
honolulu traveled to ha

135
00:06:51,847 --> 00:06:53,847
tahiti this

136
00:06:55,281 --> 00:06:57,283
summer and the entire lane was

137
00:06:57,283 --> 00:06:59,285
sprayed. The plane including all

138
00:06:59,285 --> 00:07:00,653
of its passengers. So I share

139
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:03,523
this just to reiterate that

140
00:07:03,523 --> 00:07:05,858
other jurisdictions are doing a

141
00:07:05,858 --> 00:07:07,760
whole lot more. If the council

142
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,430
stands by this resolution, thank

143
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:13,430
you, council member hustace and

144
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:16,369
inaba for putting this forward.

145
00:07:16,369 --> 00:07:18,571
It is only just asking our state

146
00:07:18,571 --> 00:07:20,173

147
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:22,408

148
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:23,710
and enforce the rules that are

149
00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:25,278

>>public speaker: good morning,

158
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:57,644
chair and members of the

159
00:07:57,644 --> 00:08:00,644

160
00:08:03,617 --> 00:08:06,617
calling from puna this morning.

161
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:09,756
One of the co-petitioners of the

162
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:11,958
interim for kona and it's

163
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,930
opinion a process. So first of

164
00:08:13,930 --> 00:08:14,661
all, I want to ask for your

165
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:17,661
support for this resolution and

166
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:22,269
we really appreciate your

167
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:22,969
support. It's been a long

168
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:25,380
journey and back in MARCH, we

169
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:27,808
got the role passed. It's now

170
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:30,644
APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST.

171
00:08:30,644 --> 00:08:34,244
Almost five months past and it's

172
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:40,851
been a consistent battle with

173
00:08:45,225 --> 00:08:45,959
the state department of ag and

174
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:47,728
security to implement this rule.

175
00:08:47,728 --> 00:08:51,928
Which is why we went back in

176
00:08:54,735 --> 00:08:57,135
JUNE for legislative support.

177
00:08:58,272 --> 00:09:00,774
The crb is a direct threat to

178
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:02,676
our food security and to our

179
00:09:02,676 --> 00:09:04,676
cultural livelihood as

180
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:15,919
practitioners that use, so I

181
00:09:16,857 --> 00:09:20,457
just want to saw mahalo to

182
00:09:23,970 --> 00:09:23,831
hustace and inaba for reaching

183
00:09:23,831 --> 00:09:24,932
out because we sent to all the

184
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:26,932
legislatures cfo

185
00:09:30,437 --> 00:09:31,171
to county council

186
00:09:31,171 --> 00:09:31,906
for support. I feel like there

187
00:09:31,906 --> 00:09:35,876
is a systemic issue and why it's

188
00:09:35,876 --> 00:09:37,144
been a tough road. We are here,

189
00:09:37,144 --> 00:09:38,145
the community is here, we have

190
00:09:38,145 --> 00:09:41,145
asked them specifically. We are

191
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:02,690
here to help. It's taken four

192
00:10:02,690 --> 00:10:05,106
months. We had no idea that this

193
00:10:05,106 --> 00:10:09,306

>>public speaker: good morning,

00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:07,835
aloha. Our purpose is to work

207
00:11:07,835 --> 00:11:09,304
with the broader species

208
00:11:09,304 --> 00:11:11,704
prevention community and seek

209
00:11:13,275 --> 00:11:16,275
out and coordinate and catalyze

210
00:11:19,647 --> 00:11:20,381
sponsors to those gaps. The big

211
00:11:20,381 --> 00:11:23,981
island interim crb rule is one

212
00:11:29,357 --> 00:11:30,910
of those responses to a gap. We

213
00:11:30,910 --> 00:11:30,825
are grateful to hawai'I county

214
00:11:30,825 --> 00:11:32,393
who has been there every step of

215
00:11:32,393 --> 00:11:36,297
the way in this instance when it

216
00:11:36,297 --> 00:11:38,499
was first detect in the ag part

217
00:11:38,499 --> 00:11:41,499
and thank you to invasive

218
00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:48,209

219
00:11:48,209 --> 00:11:51,809
on the ground and thankful to

220
00:11:54,883 --> 00:11:56,417
the department of transportation

221
00:11:56,417 --> 00:12:00,617
and only the law can make a

222
00:12:03,458 --> 00:12:04,192
regulation and that regulation

223
00:12:04,192 --> 00:12:07,792
to prevent this spread of crb.

224
00:12:08,663 --> 00:12:11,630
The interim rule basically

225
00:12:18,907 --> 00:12:21,307
requires best practices to

226
00:12:21,476 --> 00:12:22,677
prophet from

227
00:12:22,677 --> 00:12:25,677
prevent from the moving of

228
00:12:33,722 --> 00:12:36,122
materials into the infected

229
00:12:36,658 --> 00:12:39,658
areas. The training is fantastic

230
00:12:40,529 --> 00:12:43,529
and critical. They spent months

231
00:12:43,632 --> 00:12:44,366
long to get this adopted. The

232
00:12:44,366 --> 00:12:46,902
implementation has been slow and

233
00:12:46,902 --> 00:12:47,903
we really hope, we are grateful

234
00:12:47,903 --> 00:12:50,903
for all the efforts that

235
00:12:54,343 --> 00:12:56,845
everyone on big island to nudge

236
00:12:56,845 --> 00:12:59,314
this. They have a lot of

237
00:12:59,314 --> 00:13:00,716
priorities. And limited

238
00:13:00,716 --> 00:13:02,684
resources, attention that you

239
00:13:02,684 --> 00:13:04,653
are giving to community groups

240
00:13:04,653 --> 00:13:08,853
on the island will move this up

241
00:13:11,693 --> 00:13:12,427
on the priority list to be fully

242
00:13:12,427 --> 00:13:15,427

hilo. Even came up yesterday as

338
00:17:53,944 --> 00:17:57,544
well. So, do you have other

339
00:17:57,715 --> 00:18:00,500
projects besides pahoa and hilo

340
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:03,500

or just focusing on pahoa and

345
00:18:10,661 --> 00:18:10,995
hilo and maintaining the same

346
00:18:10,995 --> 00:18:12,995

to school state grant for

351
00:18:36,253 --> 00:18:37,888

352
00:18:37,888 --> 00:18:39,890
>> I understand from our last

353
00:18:39,890 --> 00:18:41,993
meeting hat we are now focusing

354
00:18:41,993 --> 00:18:43,894
on other areas. I understand

355
00:18:43,894 --> 00:18:46,630
over the last few years there

356
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:49,663
has been a very interesting and

357
00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:58,643
quiet effort to just bring two

358
00:18:58,643 --> 00:19:01,430
projects forward. That decision

359
00:19:02,790 --> 00:19:03,848
was from what I understand was

360
00:19:03,848 --> 00:19:05,850
in pahoa. So what I'm looking

361
00:19:05,850 --> 00:19:08,853
for is other projects that the

362
00:19:08,853 --> 00:19:10,154
department is going to bring

363
00:19:10,154 --> 00:19:12,857
forward, that this funding will

364
00:19:12,857 --> 00:19:14,859
be applied to whether from any

365
00:19:14,859 --> 00:19:16,227
funding source. I'm just looking

366
00:19:16,227 --> 00:19:18,627
for direction from the

367
00:19:18,963 --> 00:19:20,364
department with the safe routes

368
00:19:20,364 --> 00:19:23,364

369
00:19:24,869 --> 00:19:26,869
hilo and pahoa.

370
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:32,540
>>okay. Yes, we are looking at

371
00:19:32,944 --> 00:19:35,944
other districts. With the safe

372
00:19:35,947 --> 00:19:37,150
route to school process, their

373
00:19:37,150 --> 00:19:39,951
requirement is to qualify for

374
00:19:39,951 --> 00:19:42,520

process in disadvantaged areas.

376
00:19:45,230 --> 00:19:46,157
To qualify for economic

377
00:19:46,157 --> 00:19:49,930
disadvantaged areas, you have to

378
00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:51,162
be on this map. This is why

379
00:19:51,162 --> 00:19:54,162
hilo and kna, the economic

380
00:19:54,999 --> 00:19:55,299

00:20:01,172 --> 00:20:04,420
>>I thought about this statement

386
00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:06,770
at length the last time I heard

387
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:08,813
this. If I was to qualify the

388
00:20:08,813 --> 00:20:12,413
areas on the island that I'm

389
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:17,822
aware of that are economically

390
00:20:17,822 --> 00:20:20,822
disadvantaged, I don't think I

391
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:27,132
had choose hilo over places like

392
00:20:27,132 --> 00:20:30,132
ka'u, kona and I really

393
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,700
struggled with that the last

394
00:20:43,281 --> 00:20:44,150
time I heard it. -- these are

395
00:20:44,150 --> 00:20:47,150
underserved areas, yet hilo, I

396
00:20:47,252 --> 00:20:49,888
was surprised why that was an

397
00:20:49,888 --> 00:20:51,888
economic disadvantaged area.

398
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:54,593
>>the whole decision with the

399
00:20:54,593 --> 00:20:55,694
state made, but it is determined

400
00:20:55,694 --> 00:20:57,529
by the federal government on

401
00:20:57,529 --> 00:20:59,264
their page of what area is

402
00:20:59,264 --> 00:21:01,264
disadvantaged. It's not

403
00:21:01,266 --> 00:21:03,268
determined from us. It's a map

404
00:21:03,268 --> 00:21:06,271
provided and we look at that

405
00:21:06,271 --> 00:21:09,871
area. This area is identified as

406
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:12,444
this area. Whether hilo is or

407
00:21:12,444 --> 00:21:14,312
not compared to other areas, but

408
00:21:14,312 --> 00:21:15,347
it is. It has to be project

409
00:21:15,347 --> 00:21:18,947
ready and in order to qualify

410
00:21:20,118 --> 00:21:24,318
for this grant. And as well for

411
00:21:24,356 --> 00:21:25,524
the federal side. Being

412
00:21:25,524 --> 00:21:27,492
recognized by the federal

413
00:21:27,492 --> 00:21:29,294
government on the map has to be

414
00:21:29,294 --> 00:21:32,294
one of the qualifications. When

415
00:21:34,466 --> 00:21:36,768
we speak to operation served and

416
00:21:36,768 --> 00:21:40,368
the number of students that are

417
00:21:43,475 --> 00:21:46,475
the ones with no sidewalks.

418
00:21:56,689 --> 00:21:58,524
Kona had sidewalks there are

419
00:21:58,524 --> 00:22:02,124
some areas that can be improved

420
00:22:02,628 --> 00:22:05,628
upon and there were areas

421
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,334
selected by the state. That

422
00:22:09,334 --> 00:22:10,350
wasn't us that selected that.

423
00:22:10,350 --> 00:22:11,570
We put in the application and

424
00:22:11,570 --> 00:22:14,540
they rank it and that's how we

425
00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:15,774
got the funds last year. We only

426
00:22:15,774 --> 00:22:17,709
got one round of funding for

427
00:22:17,709 --> 00:22:21,909
this. We are hoping for more in

428
00:22:23,549 --> 00:22:25,784
the future. We are hoping for

429
00:22:25,784 --> 00:22:28,287
pahoa, improving the whole area

430
00:22:28,287 --> 00:22:30,623
in front of that area. We are

431
00:22:30,623 --> 00:22:31,790
looking around the island. We

432
00:22:31,790 --> 00:22:34,894
also look at how much people are

433
00:22:34,894 --> 00:22:37,630
served by the project and also

434
00:22:37,630 --> 00:22:39,331
going into how they select the

435
00:22:39,331 --> 00:22:40,766
project and district state

436
00:22:40,766 --> 00:22:44,366
money. This funding now that we

437
00:22:45,638 --> 00:22:49,238
are getting, or MAY get, still

438
00:22:49,675 --> 00:22:51,510
has to be determined which is

439
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:54,510
determined by how they divide

440
00:22:56,649 --> 00:23:00,849
that money up and then award it.

441
00:23:03,689 --> 00:23:07,289
So we are whatever the state

442
00:23:12,698 --> 00:23:13,227
determines and how the money is

443
00:23:13,227 --> 00:23:14,734
managed.

444
00:23:14,734 --> 00:23:16,769
>>thank you for that. So

445
00:23:16,769 --> 00:23:18,370
federally, these areas were

446
00:23:18,370 --> 00:23:19,772
chosen. That was a federal

447
00:23:19,772 --> 00:23:21,400
decision on the underserved

448
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,809
areas is what you are saying?

449
00:23:23,809 --> 00:23:27,409
>> there is a map that shows

450
00:23:31,150 --> 00:23:33,550
underserved areas. It states

451
00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:39,826
from the people that live in the

452
00:23:39,826 --> 00:23:43,262
area. So that is part of the

453
00:23:43,262 --> 00:23:46,262
applications as we apply for

454
00:23:46,766 --> 00:23:48,766
these areas.

455
00:23:53,272 --> 00:23:54,700
>>the state selected the areas

456
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:54,507
that were going to be receiving

457
00:23:54,507 --> 00:23:56,507
the grant funding?

458
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,947
>> no, we put in for projects

459
00:24:00,947 --> 00:24:02,150
that are ready, has to be a k 1

460
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:05,180
school, within a mile of the

461
00:24:05,180 --> 00:24:06,986
school, a whole list of. Let me

462
00:24:06,986 --> 00:24:07,987
see if I can pull up the list

463
00:24:07,987 --> 00:24:09,987
real fast.

464
00:24:10,690 --> 00:24:13,690
>>I'm trying to walk through

465
00:24:17,263 --> 00:24:17,964
your process. You say the feds

466
00:24:17,964 --> 00:24:19,699
recognize the areas that are

467
00:24:19,699 --> 00:24:20,867
economically disadvantaged, the

468
00:24:20,867 --> 00:24:23,303
state chose the, the county

469
00:24:23,303 --> 00:24:24,971
wrote and submitted the

470
00:24:24,971 --> 00:24:27,106
application for the grant

471
00:24:27,106 --> 00:24:27,473
funding but the state made the

472
00:24:27,473 --> 00:24:29,473
decisions?

473
00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:33,113
>> so, it depends on what you

474
00:24:33,113 --> 00:24:36,116
are applying for. In this case

475
00:24:36,116 --> 00:24:37,984
the safe routes to school

476
00:24:37,984 --> 00:24:39,185
program we are talking about and

477
00:24:39,185 --> 00:24:41,187
in this case they are adding a

478
00:24:41,187 --> 00:24:42,522
new source of funding that they

479
00:24:42,522 --> 00:24:44,910
are trying to create and this is

480
00:24:44,910 --> 00:24:47,600
what this is about. How the

481
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,962
money is split up is not

482
00:24:48,962 --> 00:24:51,640
determined yet. I still don't

483
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,640
know. It's something the state

484
00:24:54,670 --> 00:24:57,667
will have to answer. And the

485
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,760
process for the more veh

486
00:25:06,112 --> 00:25:07,447
but, in the past, for the last

487
00:25:07,447 --> 00:25:10,150
source of funding which was an

488
00:25:10,150 --> 00:25:13,150
appropriation, and we got a

489
00:25:13,286 --> 00:25:15,155
share of $1.4 million from the

490
00:25:15,155 --> 00:25:16,256
appropriation from the state,

491
00:25:16,256 --> 00:25:18,791
that was determined by the

492
00:25:18,791 --> 00:25:21,791
criteria and based on location

493
00:25:25,866 --> 00:25:26,533
within school zones, within

494
00:25:26,533 --> 00:25:27,267
walking distance. It was a

495
00:25:27,267 --> 00:25:29,202
title one school. If it was a

496
00:25:29,202 --> 00:25:31,505
high need. If the project was

497
00:25:31,505 --> 00:25:35,105
ready and the traffic. I'm going

498
00:25:35,208 --> 00:25:37,177
through the list from the state

499
00:25:37,177 --> 00:25:39,577
application. By school level,

500
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880
stress, for the children and

501
00:25:43,490 --> 00:25:45,449
cost, available funding. So,

502
00:25:51,491 --> 00:25:52,192
they do the report and consider

503
00:25:52,192 --> 00:25:55,192
and select the projects, the

504
00:25:57,264 --> 00:25:57,564
state committee for this routes

505
00:25:57,564 --> 00:25:59,499
routes

506
00:25:59,499 --> 00:26:00,267
-- safe routes to school

507
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:02,267
funding.

508
00:26:02,369 --> 00:26:05,969
>>so here forward then, now we

509
00:26:07,341 --> 00:26:09,409
are being allowed to charge the

510
00:26:09,409 --> 00:26:12,346
residents $5 to implement a new

511
00:26:12,346 --> 00:26:14,348
funding source for safe routes

512
00:26:14,348 --> 00:26:16,918
to school program. They are

513
00:26:16,918 --> 00:26:19,318
giving us $6200 to implement 3

514
00:26:24,391 --> 00:26:25,893
process design for our systems

515
00:26:25,893 --> 00:26:28,893
and now going forward, because

516
00:26:29,363 --> 00:26:30,931
I'm not happy where we stand

517
00:26:30,931 --> 00:26:33,400
with the safe routes to school

518
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,736
program if you haven't noticed.

519
00:26:35,736 --> 00:26:38,405
Here we are getting a

520
00:26:38,405 --> 00:26:39,606
substantial amount. I forget

521
00:26:39,606 --> 00:26:42,443
what the total was as far as

522
00:26:42,443 --> 00:26:43,444
what we expect to receive from

523
00:26:43,444 --> 00:26:45,844
$5 per vehicle registration fee

524
00:26:52,486 --> 00:26:55,489
into a program that has a very

525
00:26:55,489 --> 00:26:58,489
interesting past history and I

526
00:26:58,492 --> 00:27:02,529
want to be sure you folks are

527
00:27:02,529 --> 00:27:05,529
building equity into this and

528
00:27:07,668 --> 00:27:09,704
this is coming in as a new fee

529
00:27:09,704 --> 00:27:12,506
we are charging to residents.

530
00:27:12,506 --> 00:27:14,742
That's what I want to know.

531
00:27:14,742 --> 00:27:18,342
>>yes, the funds go straight to

532
00:27:19,547 --> 00:27:23,840
the sate. It's mandated by the

533
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,840
state. How they award that

534
00:27:33,628 --> 00:27:36,628
money, and manage it is

535
00:27:37,598 --> 00:27:38,299
something the state will do.

536
00:27:38,299 --> 00:27:39,634
>>kelsey kalua-lewis; public

537
00:27:39,634 --> 00:27:40,601
works, business manager: we

538
00:27:40,601 --> 00:27:41,836
haven't gotten determination

539
00:27:41,836 --> 00:27:46,360
from the state. This is the very

540
00:27:47,442 --> 00:27:50,442
first step of getting this,

541
00:27:50,678 --> 00:27:53,678
their ability to collect. What

542
00:27:54,348 --> 00:27:56,784
they will do with that program

543
00:27:56,784 --> 00:27:58,619
programatically hasn't reached

544
00:27:58,619 --> 00:28:02,219
the level of discussion to my

545
00:28:03,958 --> 00:28:05,893
knowledge yet. So we are not

546
00:28:05,893 --> 00:28:07,729
sure of the path of how much we

547
00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:08,997
will get awarded, what the

548
00:28:08,997 --> 00:28:11,666
funding criteria is going to

549
00:28:11,666 --> 00:28:12,700
look like. I think those

550
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:15,100
determinations have not been

551
00:28:15,303 --> 00:28:18,903
passed down to the county yet.

552
00:28:21,275 --> 00:28:21,943
>>so are you saying we are going

553
00:28:21,943 --> 00:28:22,877
to collect $5, give to the

554
00:28:22,877 --> 00:28:24,779
state, per vehicle registration

555
00:28:24,779 --> 00:28:26,681
and they haven't determined how

556
00:28:26,681 --> 00:28:27,480
much they are going to give back

557
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,480
to us yet?

558
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,855
>> to my knowledge, no. Unless

559
00:28:33,855 --> 00:28:35,823
there is something I'm missing.

560
00:28:35,823 --> 00:28:40,230
Right now, I know this is just

561
00:28:43,732 --> 00:28:46,200
so we can do the collection

562
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,102
fees: this is a very basic step

563
00:28:48,102 --> 00:28:49,871
that they entered this agreement

564
00:28:49,871 --> 00:28:52,774
with finance, but from what I

565
00:28:52,774 --> 00:28:55,774
know, I haven't heard anything.

566
00:28:55,777 --> 00:28:56,878
I don't know if keone has heard

567
00:28:56,878 --> 00:28:59,614
anything about yes, this money

568
00:28:59,614 --> 00:29:01,490
will be oing to the safe routes

569
00:29:01,490 --> 00:29:03,318
to school program. But the state

570
00:29:03,318 --> 00:29:05,987
is in charge of delegating that

571
00:29:05,987 --> 00:29:07,555
money out to the counties.

572
00:29:07,555 --> 00:29:09,955
>>that's disturbing. It's not

573
00:29:11,860 --> 00:29:13,295
on you, not to you folks. It's

574
00:29:13,295 --> 00:29:15,897
disturbing that the state wants

575
00:29:15,897 --> 00:29:18,897
to collect $5 and has o

576
00:29:22,804 --> 00:29:23,505
criteria about where the funding

577
00:29:23,505 --> 00:29:27,105
goes, or how much we actually

578
00:29:29,845 --> 00:29:31,913
receive back. Furthermore, if

579
00:29:31,913 --> 00:29:32,314
they are using it to prove

580
00:29:32,314 --> 00:29:33,348
improve

581
00:29:33,348 --> 00:29:35,348
state infrastructure, it's

582
00:29:35,951 --> 00:29:39,551
coming from this tax. My buzzer

583
00:29:39,855 --> 00:29:41,923
went off. I'm going to yield.

584
00:29:41,923 --> 00:29:44,860
Thank you very much. I MAY just

585
00:29:44,860 --> 00:29:46,862
go ahead and vote no on this to

586
00:29:46,862 --> 00:29:49,531
send a message to the state that

587
00:29:49,531 --> 00:29:49,808
they have to do better. Thank

588
00:29:49,808 --> 00:29:50,866

thank you, chair.

592
00:29:56,905 --> 00:29:58,540
. Thank you for being here, dpw,

593
00:29:58,540 --> 00:30:01,540
MR. Thompson. When you are

594
00:30:01,944 --> 00:30:02,611
looking at funding your

595
00:30:02,611 --> 00:30:04,611
engineering projects, road

596
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,160
projects across the county, are

597
00:30:11,253 --> 00:30:14,253
you prioritizing the roads that

598
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:36,110
need to be done be and finding

599
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:38,110
funding sources.

600
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,182
>>it is based on the need and

601
00:30:40,182 --> 00:30:41,283
there are some projects that are

602
00:30:41,283 --> 00:30:43,252
planned way in advance. With

603
00:30:43,252 --> 00:30:45,652
federal funding, that program

604
00:30:45,788 --> 00:30:48,457
you are looking for securing on

605
00:30:48,457 --> 00:30:52,570
that site down the road. It's

606
00:30:54,663 --> 00:30:58,263
not something we do right away.

607
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,668
It takes time to develop the

608
00:31:16,385 --> 00:31:18,785
project and get funding.

609
00:31:20,550 --> 00:31:23,655
>>I think that equity on funding

610
00:31:24,193 --> 00:31:27,162
across I would is important. I

611
00:31:27,162 --> 00:31:28,397
don't think that grant funds

612
00:31:28,397 --> 00:31:29,432
should be distributed equally to

613
00:31:29,432 --> 00:31:31,367
every part of the island as long

614
00:31:31,367 --> 00:31:34,203
as you are getting funding for

615
00:31:34,203 --> 00:31:37,803
the road somewhere for all the

616
00:31:40,242 --> 00:31:42,440
roads that are prioritized. So,

617
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,440
for me, it's less about

618
00:31:47,216 --> 00:31:49,616
spreading one funding source

619
00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:04,333
equitably as opposed to making

620
00:32:04,333 --> 00:32:06,269
sure there is equitable funding

621
00:32:06,269 --> 00:32:08,370
for all the roads. I hope that's

622
00:32:08,370 --> 00:32:10,473
something you are working on.

623
00:32:10,473 --> 00:32:13,473
And where something like this

624
00:32:14,410 --> 00:32:17,313
supports a project every 12-15

625
00:32:17,313 --> 00:32:19,349
years, you only get that for

626
00:32:19,349 --> 00:32:21,749
these projects. Absolutely, I

627
00:32:22,952 --> 00:32:24,354
want to be sure, earlier when

628
00:32:24,354 --> 00:32:27,354
the question was asked, what

629
00:32:31,227 --> 00:32:31,961
roads are getting supported with

630
00:32:31,961 --> 00:32:32,695
this grant funding and you said,

631
00:32:32,695 --> 00:32:34,430
well, do you mean what roads are

632
00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:35,632
getting funded all across the

633
00:32:35,632 --> 00:32:37,567
island, not just this funding

634
00:32:37,567 --> 00:32:41,167
and I think that's the important

635
00:32:43,973 --> 00:32:46,409
question. At some point, maybe

636
00:32:46,409 --> 00:32:47,544
sharing the projects across the

637
00:32:47,544 --> 00:32:49,779
island with different funding

638
00:32:49,779 --> 00:32:52,779
sources might be talking about

639
00:32:54,417 --> 00:32:55,385
equity as opposed to just this

640
00:32:55,385 --> 00:32:58,985
one funding sources that is just

641
00:33:00,590 --> 00:33:01,194
a couple projects.

642
00:33:01,194 --> 00:33:02,525
>> can I speak to that?

643
00:33:02,525 --> 00:33:04,127
>> absolutely.

644
00:33:04,127 --> 00:33:06,129
>>right now we have different

645
00:33:06,129 --> 00:33:07,597
sources of funding. Right now

646
00:33:07,597 --> 00:33:09,997
with this administration, we

647
00:33:10,967 --> 00:33:13,169
work with highway and we are

648
00:33:13,169 --> 00:33:16,406
doing the designing to do some

649
00:33:16,406 --> 00:33:19,406
projects in-house where we are

650
00:33:19,976 --> 00:33:22,976
making these projects coming up

651
00:33:25,916 --> 00:33:28,518
like the school and the turn

652
00:33:28,518 --> 00:33:30,520
lane, wide shoulder. And

653
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,920
shoulder improvements by the

654
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:44,999
elementary school, pahoa village

655
00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:49,269
road, so, we are looking around

656
00:33:49,339 --> 00:33:52,939
the island and we don't have

657
00:34:05,655 --> 00:34:08,655
that much funds for these

658
00:34:10,961 --> 00:34:11,695
programs. But we are focusing

659
00:34:11,695 --> 00:34:12,429
on those areas that are provided

660
00:34:12,429 --> 00:34:13,163
for walking around the schools.

661
00:34:13,163 --> 00:34:13,597
We don't have the money for all

662
00:34:13,597 --> 00:34:14,330
the promotion

663
00:34:14,330 --> 00:34:15,650
jects we want to do but

664
00:34:15,650 --> 00:34:17,100
we focus on the areas that are

665
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:18,735
most critical with the most

666
00:34:18,735 --> 00:34:20,737
people. We have projects that we

667
00:34:20,737 --> 00:34:23,640
are trying to work on and it

668
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:24,775
takes time. We have to get the

669
00:34:24,775 --> 00:34:26,775
availability of manpower,

670
00:34:32,149 --> 00:34:32,796
equipment, materials,

671
00:34:32,796 --> 00:34:34,796
everything.

672
00:34:35,486 --> 00:34:36,186
>>thank you so much. Maybe at

673
00:34:36,186 --> 00:34:38,589
some point you can share with

674
00:34:38,589 --> 00:34:39,323
the council all the school road

675
00:34:39,323 --> 00:34:41,723
improvements across the county.

676
00:34:41,859 --> 00:34:42,626

onishi: thank you, chair.

682
00:34:51,168 --> 00:34:53,370
MR. Thompson, I was ask if you

683
00:34:53,370 --> 00:34:55,706
can provide the council members

684
00:34:55,706 --> 00:34:57,841
with that list, the proposals,

685
00:34:57,841 --> 00:34:59,510
and possibilities for projects

686
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:01,510
in the future.

687
00:35:02,846 --> 00:35:04,748
MR. Thompson, if the council

688
00:35:04,748 --> 00:35:06,517
member in a district gets

689
00:35:06,517 --> 00:35:08,819
support from the legislators to

690
00:35:08,819 --> 00:35:10,754
get some funding to help with

691
00:35:10,754 --> 00:35:11,155
these projects, that would help

692
00:35:11,155 --> 00:35:13,155
also, correct?

693
00:35:16,994 --> 00:35:19,597
>> most definitely. If we have

694
00:35:19,597 --> 00:35:21,565
the manpower to do it, yes. It

695
00:35:21,565 --> 00:35:22,733
makes sense.

696
00:35:22,733 --> 00:35:24,869
>>there is only so much that the

697
00:35:24,869 --> 00:35:26,771
state is going to give for these

698
00:35:26,771 --> 00:35:30,371
projects. We have to as a

699
00:35:32,977 --> 00:35:33,711
council member reach out to our

700
00:35:33,711 --> 00:35:37,311
state legislators to see how we

701
00:35:37,815 --> 00:35:40,500
can get it's for example, the

702
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:40,818
four mile bridge. 12-13 million

703
00:35:40,818 --> 00:35:42,820
for that project. That really

704
00:35:42,820 --> 00:35:44,255
helps the county in getting

705
00:35:44,255 --> 00:35:44,689
these projects moving forward

706
00:35:44,689 --> 00:35:46,624
faster, right?

707
00:35:46,624 --> 00:35:48,624
>> yes, definitely.

708
00:35:51,295 --> 00:35:53,264
>>I just wanted to make that

709
00:35:53,264 --> 00:35:54,966
aware. The county only has so

710
00:35:54,966 --> 00:35:57,234
much, but there is other

711
00:35:57,234 --> 00:36:00,234
partnerships that we can do,

712
00:36:01,339 --> 00:36:04,750
right. So, also, projects have a

713
00:36:04,750 --> 00:36:04,875
lot of funding has to be shovel

714
00:36:04,875 --> 00:36:06,875
ready, correct?

715
00:36:07,278 --> 00:36:09,947
>> yes, correct. That's one of

716
00:36:09,947 --> 00:36:10,581
the requirements for the safe

717
00:36:10,581 --> 00:36:12,981

attempt to, not attempt, but his

773
00:38:02,294 --> 00:38:05,294
bringing forward the need for 3

774
00:38:06,364 --> 00:38:07,199
spreading the funds around and

775
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:09,267
probably something we do need o

776
00:38:09,267 --> 00:38:11,269
take up with the state, and our

777
00:38:11,269 --> 00:38:12,204
state representatives to make

778
00:38:12,204 --> 00:38:15,804
sure that happens. At the same

779
00:38:20,579 --> 00:38:24,179
time, I do understand that it's

780
00:38:24,182 --> 00:38:26,840
not simple spreading it around

781
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,253
equally and there are schools

782
00:38:28,253 --> 00:38:29,655
that are in a situation where 3

783
00:38:29,655 --> 00:38:32,550
strategically focusing on those

784
00:38:34,659 --> 00:38:37,262
schools are going to have the

785
00:38:37,262 --> 00:38:38,797
best outcome for the most

786
00:38:38,797 --> 00:38:41,660
people. I think with making

787
00:38:41,660 --> 00:38:43,466
those calculated calls, but

788
00:38:45,303 --> 00:38:48,140
also, being really sure to look

789
00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:50,342
outside of our more densely

790
00:38:50,342 --> 00:38:52,742

>> council member matt

793
00:39:00,850 --> 00:39:02,850
kanealii-kleinfelder: just a

794
00:39:05,657 --> 00:39:06,391
thought for everyone to

795
00:39:06,391 --> 00:39:07,126
contemplate. When we as a county

796
00:39:07,126 --> 00:39:07,826
are being asked to collect a fee

797
00:39:07,826 --> 00:39:09,962
and give it to the state, and

798
00:39:09,962 --> 00:39:11,296
the state has no actual

799
00:39:11,296 --> 00:39:14,296
breakdown of how that funding

800
00:39:14,299 --> 00:39:17,899
comes back to the county, but

801
00:39:19,204 --> 00:39:22,204
our county residents are being

802
00:39:24,476 --> 00:39:25,844
taxed, for fuel tax which is a

803
00:39:25,844 --> 00:39:30,440
lot for roads and being taxed at

804
00:39:31,550 --> 00:39:35,487
the cashier for ge taxes, we are

805
00:39:35,487 --> 00:39:37,589
now asking for an additional $5

806
00:39:37,589 --> 00:39:38,490
per motor vehicle, about a

807
00:39:38,490 --> 00:39:41,490
million dollars a year after

808
00:39:41,594 --> 00:39:43,496
paying taxes already. So there

809
00:39:43,496 --> 00:39:46,632
has to be going forward, the

810
00:39:46,632 --> 00:39:47,833
council should be very cognizant

811
00:39:47,833 --> 00:39:50,833
of what's being collected and

812
00:39:52,504 --> 00:39:54,607
what the outcomes are for

813
00:39:54,607 --> 00:39:55,908
hawai'I county before being

814
00:39:55,908 --> 00:39:57,543
asked to foot the bill for

815
00:39:57,543 --> 00:39:59,943
improvements especially if we

816
00:40:01,513 --> 00:40:03,549
are improving state jurisdiction

817
00:40:03,549 --> 00:40:05,584
areas with funds that are

818
00:40:05,584 --> 00:40:07,720
collecting back from us.

from the conversation at

1622
01:03:36,905 --> 01:03:39,905
committee, there is two things

1623
01:03:43,578 --> 01:03:45,747
that this bill does. One is

1624
01:03:45,747 --> 01:03:48,147
portions of the registration

1625
01:03:52,154 --> 01:03:52,888
process overtime would be at the

1626
01:03:52,888 --> 01:03:53,522
planning department rather than

1627
01:03:53,522 --> 01:03:54,723
finance. So making those

1628
01:03:54,723 --> 01:03:55,757
editorial corrections. I will

1629
01:03:55,757 --> 01:03:57,993
indicate there are other

1630
01:03:57,993 --> 01:04:00,993
portions of this process that

1631
01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:05,600
are still unchanged in the

1632
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:06,301
original bill and have to do

1633
01:04:06,301 --> 01:04:08,701
with finance. Secondly, this

1634
01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:11,840
creates a grace period of four

1635
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,840
months for people to register. 3

1636
01:04:15,910 --> 01:04:18,814
if they register, they will have

1637
01:04:18,814 --> 01:04:19,514
until the 30th to register. And

1638
01:04:19,514 --> 01:04:21,817

1639
01:04:21,817 --> 01:04:24,286
