hello, everyone. As we gather

21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,198
this morning, let us hold a

22
00:01:33,198 --> 00:01:36,198
moment and each person carries

23
00:01:36,336 --> 00:01:38,336
responsibilities and concerns

24
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:43,239
for # #

25
00:01:43,475 --> 00:01:45,844
items and each one is

26
00:01:45,844 --> 00:01:48,244
supported by colleagues, many

27
00:01:52,485 --> 00:01:54,287
others for this as our item

28
00:01:54,287 --> 00:01:57,157
continues to cover from the

29
00:01:57,157 --> 00:02:00,157
recent storm. We remember those

30
00:02:00,727 --> 00:02:04,327
being affected and thank all who

31
00:02:09,168 --> 00:02:09,659
are with the recovery.S

32
00:02:09,659 --> 00:02:11,170
the

33
00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:13,272
people MAY live in a community

34
00:02:13,272 --> 00:02:16,872
but fits not whether they know

35
00:02:21,347 --> 00:02:24,947
each other and have a sympathy

36
00:02:39,132 --> 00:02:39,866
or know each other, a wisdom and

37
00:02:39,866 --> 00:02:41,301
this is a kind of community we

38
00:02:41,301 --> 00:02:45,271
all hope for. Although it is not

39
00:02:45,271 --> 00:02:46,806
always easy to fully understand

40
00:02:46,806 --> 00:02:49,806
one another. The compassion and

41
00:02:50,777 --> 00:02:53,777
wisdom embrace us without the

42
00:02:58,318 --> 00:02:59,520
distinction we receive that

43
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,320
compassion with gratitude. MAY

44
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,821
today's meeting be peaceful and

45
00:03:01,821 --> 00:03:04,821
productive. MAY the work done

46
00:03:08,428 --> 00:03:09,162
here contribute to the

47
00:03:09,162 --> 00:03:10,296
well-being of the people of this

92
00:05:01,108 --> 00:05:01,842
very much, chair. We have all

93
00:05:01,842 --> 00:05:03,844
been watching ai with interest

94
00:05:03,844 --> 00:05:07,444
in a myriad of different ways.

95
00:05:07,514 --> 00:05:09,616
We have two of our county youth,

96
00:05:09,616 --> 00:05:12,586
one from hilo high school and

97
00:05:12,586 --> 00:05:15,422
one from kamehameha schools in

98
00:05:15,422 --> 00:05:18,525
keaau. Were asked to go to

99
00:05:18,525 --> 00:05:21,695
boston at the edward m kennedy

100
00:05:21,695 --> 00:05:23,831
center for the U.S. Senate to

101
00:05:23,831 --> 00:05:26,231
participate in the artificial

102
00:05:28,669 --> 00:05:30,637
intelligence symposium. It's a

103
00:05:30,637 --> 00:05:31,772
conference that brought together

104
00:05:31,772 --> 00:05:34,509
98 youth from across the nation

105
00:05:34,509 --> 00:05:36,760
to sit down in the senate

106
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,813
chambers and discuss how we are

107
00:05:38,813 --> 00:05:41,213
going to implement ai

108
00:05:42,383 --> 00:05:44,783
appropriately in the educational

109
00:05:45,719 --> 00:05:48,288
theatre. By doing so, these

110
00:05:48,288 --> 00:05:50,658
youth were able to come together

111
00:05:50,658 --> 00:05:54,858
and create a law that they are

112
00:05:55,896 --> 00:05:58,532
going to provide to the aasa,

113
00:05:58,532 --> 00:06:00,532
the school superintendent

114
00:06:00,802 --> 00:06:02,804
association, which helps then to

115
00:06:02,804 --> 00:06:04,505
give a backbone to our legal

116
00:06:04,505 --> 00:06:07,575
framework on how ai will be

117
00:06:07,575 --> 00:06:11,175
brought into our school in more

118
00:06:11,846 --> 00:06:14,150
so how we allow it in regard to

119
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:15,984
our school, how it fits, what's

120
00:06:15,984 --> 00:06:18,987
good, what's bad and what works

121
00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:20,221
and what doesn't work. I wanted

122
00:06:20,221 --> 00:06:23,221
to recognize to you today.

123
00:06:26,628 --> 00:06:28,563
Unfortunately one of them is out

124
00:06:28,563 --> 00:06:32,763
with the flu. One is out today,

125
00:06:39,841 --> 00:06:40,351
the other one with their son.

126
00:06:40,351 --> 00:06:42,100
Confirm

127
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:43,311
you are here today. If you come

128
00:06:43,311 --> 00:06:44,946
up to the front. Thank you very

129
00:06:44,946 --> 00:06:46,848
much. Thank you very much for

130
00:06:46,848 --> 00:06:50,448
the family for being here. Come

131
00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:55,923
have a seat. I wanted to give

132
00:06:55,923 --> 00:06:58,590
you a chance to briefly discuss

133
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:00,128
what we both discussed as far as

134
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:04,298
what you got out of this. What

135
00:07:04,298 --> 00:07:07,298
this meant, and specifically, we

136
00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:10,972
had hawai'I state. We had two

137
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:13,972
who were selected to represent

138
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,577
hawai'I at this symposium. So I

139
00:07:16,577 --> 00:07:20,177
don't know who wants to go

140
00:07:20,248 --> 00:07:24,448
first. Maybe you want to lead us

141
00:07:50,145 --> 00:07:52,145
off.

142
00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:55,481
>>tell us about this.

143
00:07:57,219 --> 00:07:58,653
>>hi, I'm kendall and I was

144
00:07:58,653 --> 00:08:02,123
really honored to be part of

145
00:08:02,123 --> 00:08:04,226
this. Not only for representing

146
00:08:04,226 --> 00:08:07,226
hawai'I county but the whole

147
00:08:27,182 --> 00:08:29,582
state. I collaborated with

148
00:08:32,755 --> 00:08:35,224
senators and we passed a bill to

149
00:08:35,224 --> 00:08:38,427
be working across the nation. It

150
00:08:38,427 --> 00:08:40,195
was really an eye opening

151
00:08:40,195 --> 00:08:41,263
experience for me.

152
00:08:41,263 --> 00:08:44,863
>>what was your takeaway and I'm

153
00:08:49,338 --> 00:08:50,239
sure you are proud of our

154
00:08:50,239 --> 00:08:51,406
haumana that came with us to

155
00:08:51,406 --> 00:08:53,742
represent hawai'I. Tell us a

156
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:56,142
little bit about your

157
00:08:56,845 --> 00:08:58,280
experience.

158
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,317
>>if you use a cellphone, if you

159
00:09:02,317 --> 00:09:03,452
use the net

160
00:09:03,452 --> 00:09:05,452
internet, television,

161
00:09:09,324 --> 00:09:12,924
you are interacting with ai. As

162
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:16,298
we go into the future it more

163
00:09:16,298 --> 00:09:18,698
pervasive. Unfortunately at the

164
00:09:21,103 --> 00:09:21,837
educational level we missed the

165
00:09:21,837 --> 00:09:22,537
boat when it came to cellphone

166
00:09:22,537 --> 00:09:26,137
usage or social media when it

167
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:34,983
came to keying. So

168
00:09:34,983 --> 00:09:35,718
iki. Nationally the

169
00:09:35,718 --> 00:09:36,419
school system is worried because

170
00:09:36,419 --> 00:09:38,554
ai is moving so fast and not

171
00:09:38,554 --> 00:09:42,154
that we are left behind but

172
00:09:42,825 --> 00:09:45,628
students are using it where it

173
00:09:45,628 --> 00:09:49,828
is not wise and not serving to

174
00:09:53,635 --> 00:09:54,436
our values. So, so they went up

175
00:09:54,436 --> 00:09:56,436
there

176
00:09:58,575 --> 00:10:02,175
>> we are lucky because this is

177
00:10:10,787 --> 00:10:11,488
from the entire state up there.

178
00:10:11,488 --> 00:10:13,888
They represented our interest

179
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,461
and debated and very proud

180
00:10:18,461 --> 00:10:21,597
because in the end this bill was

181
00:10:21,597 --> 00:10:23,500
voted on and passed and now

182
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:25,500
being disseminated and

183
00:10:26,536 --> 00:10:27,937
distributed to 10,000 members of

184
00:10:27,937 --> 00:10:29,505
the national superintendent's

185
00:10:29,505 --> 00:10:31,541
association that's going to be

186
00:10:31,541 --> 00:10:34,644
used as a scaffolding for the

187
00:10:34,644 --> 00:10:36,546
use of ai within schools because

188
00:10:36,546 --> 00:10:37,947
until six weeks ago, there was

189
00:10:37,947 --> 00:10:40,947
no national policy. So every

190
00:10:41,217 --> 00:10:43,453
school was left to come up with

191
00:10:43,453 --> 00:10:46,550
their own standards and every

192
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:47,557
teacher was trying to figure out

193
00:10:47,557 --> 00:10:49,792
their whole thing and hundreds

194
00:10:49,792 --> 00:10:51,694
of thousands of teachers were

195
00:10:51,694 --> 00:10:55,294
trying to figure this out on

196
00:11:16,619 --> 00:11:18,855
their own and it was a mess. So

197
00:11:18,855 --> 00:11:20,823
they said, let's get it out and

198
00:11:20,823 --> 00:11:21,624
do it nw.

199
00:11:21,624 --> 00:11:23,624

mahalo for your leadership, for

Congratulations, kendall. Thank

you for representing not only

212
00:11:48,752 --> 00:11:50,521
our county, but our state, and

213
00:11:50,521 --> 00:11:52,889
your generation to have an

214
00:11:52,889 --> 00:11:55,289
opportunity o provide insight

215
00:11:57,728 --> 00:11:58,896
and wisdom to adults, for issues

216
00:11:58,896 --> 00:12:02,496
that we have created, but you

217
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:06,500
will be left to navigate and

218
00:12:14,711 --> 00:12:15,200
figure out

219

>>andre: how to

220
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,883
and how to make sure

221
00:12:19,883 --> 00:12:22,883
this technology takes on and

222
00:12:24,455 --> 00:12:24,755
thank you for making us so

223
00:12:24,755 --> 00:12:25,489
proud.

225
00:12:26,223 --> 00:12:27,858
>> council member james hustace:

226
00:12:27,858 --> 00:12:28,825
thank you, council member

227
00:12:28,825 --> 00:12:30,825
kanealii-kleinfelder for

228
00:12:31,428 --> 00:12:33,828
recognizing kendall, our haumana

229
00:12:38,134 --> 00:12:38,869
and community. It's important

230
00:12:38,869 --> 00:12:39,536
that our keiki, are having this

231
00:12:39,536 --> 00:12:40,271
conversation themselves and

232
00:12:40,271 --> 00:12:41,400
trying the drive change within

233
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,873
their own space. That top down

234
00:12:42,873 --> 00:12:45,800
enforcement and some of these

235
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,444
policies. I see schools trying

236
00:12:47,444 --> 00:12:49,780
to grapple with cell phones and

237
00:12:49,780 --> 00:12:52,490
make some of the transitional

238
00:12:52,490 --> 00:12:54,510
change. It's a glaring change

239
00:12:54,510 --> 00:12:55,152
and what they are used to day in

240
00:12:55,152 --> 00:12:58,752
and day out. It's really great

241
00:13:01,959 --> 00:13:02,659
for them to get involved in the

242
00:13:02,659 --> 00:13:03,394
policy themselves and see how

243
00:13:03,394 --> 00:13:06,394
their appears are being affected

244
00:13:12,903 --> 00:13:13,737
by it. Thank you for recognizing

245
00:13:13,737 --> 00:13:15,737
that.

246
00:13:23,246 --> 00:13:25,916
>>thank you, members, yes. It's

247
00:13:25,916 --> 00:13:28,819
a conference in maui and there

248
00:13:28,819 --> 00:13:31,220
is a panel on ai and that needs

249
00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:33,900
to happen not only in government

250
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:36,600
in elected positions but early

251
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,795
on. A lot of what we do moving

252
00:13:37,795 --> 00:13:39,162
forward can be informed by these

253
00:13:39,162 --> 00:13:41,562
great conversations that you

254
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,213
folks are having. Vice-chai

255
00:14:29,213 --> 00:14:31,482
thank you very much. We are

256
00:14:31,482 --> 00:14:33,840
going to proceed into our next

257
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,352
two presentations and we'll take

258
00:14:34,352 --> 00:14:37,288
photos with everyone in that

259
00:14:37,288 --> 00:14:41,426
order t the end. We are going

260
00:14:41,426 --> 00:14:44,329
right into our -- we are now in

261
00:14:44,329 --> 00:14:46,130
the month of SEPTEMBER. We have

262
00:14:46,130 --> 00:14:49,730
had some storms and things that

263
00:14:54,272 --> 00:14:57,872
needed to be shifted over. We

264
00:14:57,909 --> 00:15:00,278
have our AUGUST 2026 haweo award

265
00:15:00,278 --> 00:15:03,878
recipient. I would like to call

266
00:15:09,387 --> 00:15:11,489
forward or recipient today.

267
00:15:11,489 --> 00:15:13,889
>>you can come forward.

268
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,661
>>good morning, chair inaba and

269
00:15:16,661 --> 00:15:19,610
council members. I believe

270
00:15:20,331 --> 00:15:21,500
everybody knows me, reynolds,

271
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,500
the captain of the hamakua

272
00:15:25,103 --> 00:15:25,403
district. This admonishing we

273
00:15:25,403 --> 00:15:27,403
would

274
00:15:27,672 --> 00:15:29,942
-- morning we would like to

275
00:15:29,942 --> 00:15:32,911
introduce -- a 17 year veteran

276
00:15:32,911 --> 00:15:36,511
of the department. He's been in

277
00:15:43,721 --> 00:15:45,721
the district

278
00:15:50,429 --> 00:15:52,431
but today, we appreciate the

279
00:15:52,431 --> 00:15:55,431
focus on traffic enforcement and

280
00:15:56,601 --> 00:15:59,100
keeping our roadways safe.

281
00:15:59,304 --> 00:16:02,904
During the last fiscal year, he

282
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:07,410
issued nearly 400 citations, 117

283
00:16:08,446 --> 00:16:10,616
for speeding over 50, for

284
00:16:10,616 --> 00:16:12,551
seatbelts. He's not stopping

285
00:16:12,551 --> 00:16:15,551
everybody in the district. When

286
00:16:15,921 --> 00:16:18,290
it's warranted, he's documented

287
00:16:18,290 --> 00:16:21,290
the warnings that were given.

288
00:16:21,526 --> 00:16:24,263
The funny thing is, having been

289
00:16:24,263 --> 00:16:25,531
the school resource officer for

290
00:16:25,531 --> 00:16:27,332
eight years, he's now sometimes

291
00:16:27,332 --> 00:16:29,601
stopping former students as

292
00:16:29,601 --> 00:16:33,201
young adults. He continues to be

293
00:16:42,781 --> 00:16:46,381
a mentor to them. He's well

294
00:16:53,850 --> 00:16:54,648
roundupeded

295
00:16:54,648 --> 00:16:55,225
rounded and we thank him and his

296
00:16:55,225 --> 00:16:55,479
family as well for the support.

297
00:16:55,479 --> 00:16:58,479
During previous years when he

298
00:16:58,830 --> 00:17:00,665
used to put on fishing

299
00:17:00,665 --> 00:17:03,665
tournaments, his family would be

300
00:17:09,941 --> 00:17:10,411
there too to support us.

301
00:17:10,411 --> 00:17:12,411
>>officer?

302
00:17:13,612 --> 00:17:14,646
>> hi, good morning council

303
00:17:14,646 --> 00:17:17,460
members, good morning everyone.

304
00:17:17,449 --> 00:17:21,490
I'm very umbled to receive this

305
00:17:21,687 --> 00:17:24,757
award. A lot of us do this as a

306
00:17:24,757 --> 00:17:25,958
thankless job. We recognize the

307
00:17:25,958 --> 00:17:27,659
service we do for community

308
00:17:27,659 --> 00:17:30,696
every day. Thank you for your

309
00:17:30,696 --> 00:17:34,296
support. I mention on the side

310
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,736
that he was my mentor. I cannot

311
00:17:36,736 --> 00:17:38,804
forget my family and a lot of

312
00:17:38,804 --> 00:17:39,905
times we work long hours with

313
00:17:39,905 --> 00:17:41,474
law enforcement and sometimes

314
00:17:41,474 --> 00:17:44,744
away from home. Thank you to my

315
00:17:44,744 --> 00:17:47,447
family for holding on the fort

316
00:17:47,447 --> 00:17:49,115
away from home. Love you guys.

317
00:17:49,115 --> 00:17:51,851
>>yeah, collectively, part of a

318
00:17:51,851 --> 00:17:54,851
small team. Our brothers and

319
00:17:56,122 --> 00:17:58,522
sisters in blue, unfortunately

320
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:02,759
with the unfortunate increase in

321
00:18:02,962 --> 00:18:05,799
traffic fatalities, we like to

322
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:06,899
do our part with enforcement and

323
00:18:06,899 --> 00:18:09,299
through education as well.

324
00:18:09,836 --> 00:18:11,905
Sometimes I do see a lot of

325
00:18:11,905 --> 00:18:14,305
former community members that

326
00:18:15,508 --> 00:18:17,377
were at the school and

327
00:18:17,377 --> 00:18:19,777
communicate. I use discretion

328
00:18:23,983 --> 00:18:26,520
as well even through education.

329
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,988
Hopefully that in turn is a

330
00:18:28,988 --> 00:18:31,424
direct effect of keeping our

331
00:18:31,424 --> 00:18:32,926
keiki a little bit safer. Thank

332
00:18:32,926 --> 00:18:34,327
you guys.

333
00:18:34,327 --> 00:18:37,327
>>mahalo. We'll start off with

334
00:18:38,431 --> 00:18:39,980
the council member of the

335
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:39,765
district.

336
00:18:39,765 --> 00:18:41,934
>>council member heather l.

337
00:18:41,934 --> 00:18:43,536
Kimball: I just really want to

338
00:18:43,536 --> 00:18:45,936
appreciate the importance of

339
00:18:59,952 --> 00:19:01,952
highlighting this particular

340
00:19:02,222 --> 00:19:05,222
people are driving and following

341
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:09,658
the speed limit. It's a very

342
00:19:40,593 --> 00:19:42,593
dangerous road.

343
00:19:43,463 --> 00:19:44,731
>> you have had an opportunity

344
00:19:44,731 --> 00:19:47,131
to establish the relationship

345
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,760
and trust.

346
00:19:59,146 --> 00:20:01,348
>> we don't want to get in

347
00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:04,948
trouble or busted. But there is

348
00:20:13,994 --> 00:20:16,697
something even more special and

349
00:20:16,697 --> 00:20:19,697
you having the opportunity to

350
00:20:24,271 --> 00:20:25,973
interact and engage with and

351
00:20:25,973 --> 00:20:27,641
even though they are speeding

352
00:20:27,641 --> 00:20:30,410
whatnot, that relationship, it

353
00:20:30,544 --> 00:20:33,280
just landed with me that that's

354
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,149
a part of an accountability and

355
00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:37,317
kuleana is not wanting to

356
00:20:37,317 --> 00:20:40,253
disappoint someone who had been

357
00:20:40,253 --> 00:20:43,253
a supporter, advisor and mentor

358
00:20:45,225 --> 00:20:46,927
and that inspires changed

359
00:20:46,927 --> 00:20:48,429
behavior. Ironically, sometimes

360
00:20:48,429 --> 00:20:51,429
more profoundly than fear of

361
00:20:54,301 --> 00:20:57,304
being in trouble. Thank you for

362
00:20:57,304 --> 00:20:58,605
really authentically connecting

363
00:20:58,605 --> 00:21:01,500
yourself and your relationships

364
00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:06,346
in your community that will has

365
00:21:06,346 --> 00:21:09,346
and will continue to inspire

366
00:21:09,349 --> 00:21:10,384
greatness and better choices

367
00:21:10,384 --> 00:21:12,352

00:23:27,210 --> 00:23:28,189

391
00:23:28,189 --> 00:23:31,189
contribution that they make to

392
00:23:33,562 --> 00:23:35,530
our county. It's an annual

393
00:23:35,530 --> 00:23:37,866
observance that recognizes the

394
00:23:37,866 --> 00:23:40,235
hard work and rescue and

395
00:23:40,235 --> 00:23:42,204
community education that is

396
00:23:42,204 --> 00:23:44,604
provided by the first

397
00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:46,874
responders. The diligence is

398
00:23:46,874 --> 00:23:48,944
especially appreciated by this

399
00:23:48,944 --> 00:23:50,879
and so many of our activities

400
00:23:50,879 --> 00:23:52,847
with our families and in our

401
00:23:52,847 --> 00:23:56,447
community is at the beaches and

402
00:24:01,790 --> 00:24:04,930
at the swimming pools. Our pools

403
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:06,493
provide much recognition and

404
00:24:11,266 --> 00:24:14,266
many benefit from that therapy.

405
00:24:14,503 --> 00:24:16,838
We thank our police department

406
00:24:16,838 --> 00:24:19,700
and fire department. They rescue

407
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:22,110
people in our waters and our

408
00:24:22,110 --> 00:24:24,460
pools. I know as a nana, we 3

409
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:27,646
always feel safer when we see

410
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,688
the lifeguard towers with the

411
00:24:32,688 --> 00:24:33,322
presence that makes us feel

412
00:24:33,322 --> 00:24:34,560
safer to enjoy the water

413
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,240
together. Mahalo also, I want to

414
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,224
give a shout out to the clerical

415
00:24:42,998 --> 00:24:44,199

416
00:24:44,199 --> 00:24:46,670

417
00:24:46,670 --> 00:24:47,236
wanting to put together

418
00:24:47,236 --> 00:24:49,636
appreciation kits that were

419
00:24:49,971 --> 00:24:51,940
things that the life guards

420
00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:53,175
could use and design the banners

421
00:24:53,175 --> 00:24:55,110

422
00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:57,112

appreciated and that they are

426
00:25:03,218 --> 00:25:04,953
honored. I also want to honor

427
00:25:04,953 --> 00:25:07,353

lifeguard appreciation week. It

442
00:25:52,101 --> 00:25:55,137
was week of the 23rd. That's why

443
00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:57,730
we are meeting today with the

00:25:57,730 --> 00:25:59,473

officers and our life guards at

450
00:26:16,125 --> 00:26:17,393
our county pools. Fighting the

451
00:26:17,393 --> 00:26:19,793
fight against drowning, the

452
00:26:21,497 --> 00:26:24,233
number one fatality for our

453
00:26:24,233 --> 00:26:27,233
youth. Here in hawai'I county,

454
00:26:27,603 --> 00:26:29,371
half of the drownings are our

455
00:26:29,371 --> 00:26:31,307
residents. It's really nice to

456
00:26:31,307 --> 00:26:34,907
have a career fighting the fight

457
00:26:44,153 --> 00:26:44,627

489

really important that everybody

00:29:06,296 --> 00:29:08,498

00:29:08,498 --> 00:29:10,498

523
00:30:46,330 --> 00:30:49,330
of bringing someone that was

back in nd brought them back to

526
00:31:05,149 --> 00:31:08,119

00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:09,187
90% of the victims that gets

528
00:31:09,187 --> 00:31:11,723

547
00:31:45,290 --> 00:31:48,290
through your work, your staff

548
00:31:51,429 --> 00:31:52,164

575
00:33:19,384 --> 00:33:22,421
well loved and well used that

576
00:33:22,421 --> 00:33:24,556
statistically you are to have a

577
00:33:24,556 --> 00:33:26,758
potential accident. You guys are

578
00:33:26,758 --> 00:33:30,358
the front lines, men and women

579
00:33:30,495 --> 00:33:32,497
who interact daily. Visiting our

580
00:33:32,497 --> 00:33:34,700
beautiful oceans and pools for

581
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:37,169
whatever reason. For all they

582
00:33:37,169 --> 00:33:39,569
have a gazillion different

583
00:33:40,406 --> 00:33:44,600
reasons I'm sure along with the

584
00:33:45,811 --> 00:33:47,847
stories of harrowing, saving,

585
00:33:47,847 --> 00:33:50,847
there are probably some funny

586
00:33:51,751 --> 00:33:54,751
stories about the humans that

587
00:33:56,756 --> 00:34:00,356
play about the seas. Just a

588
00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:02,940
quick shout out, thank you,

589
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:04,494
melissa for your heartfelt

590
00:34:04,664 --> 00:34:06,966
sharing and vulnerability and

591
00:34:06,966 --> 00:34:09,966
really caring and that struggle

592
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,606
to find lifeguards for our pools

593
00:34:19,712 --> 00:34:21,514
is real. People get upset about

594
00:34:21,514 --> 00:34:22,715
it because sometimes our pools

595
00:34:22,715 --> 00:34:24,684
have to close. If you have the

596
00:34:24,684 --> 00:34:26,686
capacity and the time, please

597
00:34:26,686 --> 00:34:29,522
consider leaning n and joining

598
00:34:29,522 --> 00:34:31,724
these teams of brave men and

599
00:34:31,724 --> 00:34:34,724

We have testifiers here and zoom

out with testifiers in hil.T for

608
00:37:27,431 --> 00:37:29,833
its kona cats sanctuary process.

609
00:37:29,833 --> 00:37:31,535
This indicates to us that this

610
00:37:31,535 --> 00:37:34,104
entity has been registered for

611
00:37:34,104 --> 00:37:37,704
less than two years, and we

612
00:37:38,676 --> 00:37:42,276
really don't know much or have

613
00:37:43,914 --> 00:37:45,849
much history about its cat

614
00:37:45,849 --> 00:37:48,249
sanctuary operation. Not even

615
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:54,893
half the cats in hawai'I in a

616
00:37:54,893 --> 00:37:57,696
very established spay and neuter

617
00:37:57,696 --> 00:38:00,696
organization in kona who have

618
00:38:01,699 --> 00:38:02,733
been spay and neutering

619
00:38:02,733 --> 00:38:04,802
thousands of cats did not know

620
00:38:04,802 --> 00:38:07,202
about this group, this

621
00:38:07,739 --> 00:38:09,407
foundation when I sent this

622
00:38:09,407 --> 00:38:11,760
resolution to its PRESIDENT Two

623
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,760
weeks ago. Unless this sanctuary

624
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,717
is being set up to receive the

625
00:38:19,717 --> 00:38:21,786
many abandoned cats that we cat

626
00:38:21,786 --> 00:38:23,788
feeders feed in the kona area,

627
00:38:23,788 --> 00:38:25,790
unless this is being set up to

628
00:38:25,790 --> 00:38:26,925
receive these abandoned cats

629
00:38:26,925 --> 00:38:28,794
from the kona district, at least

630
00:38:28,794 --> 00:38:30,996
the kona district, I really

631
00:38:30,996 --> 00:38:32,930
think that you should reconsider

632
00:38:32,930 --> 00:38:35,867
this funding and perhaps not

633
00:38:35,867 --> 00:38:39,467
fund this entity at this time.

years for appreciation the

659
00:40:36,222 --> 00:40:38,622
>>public speaker: good morning,

660
00:40:39,558 --> 00:40:42,661
my name is julia larson here to

661
00:40:42,661 --> 00:40:45,661
testify on bills 173 and 175. My

662
00:40:46,265 --> 00:40:50,465
husband and I live in cola ranch

663
00:40:55,274 --> 00:40:55,975
zoned agriculture. We have

664
00:40:55,975 --> 00:40:57,276
operated a tvr since 2017. We

665
00:40:57,276 --> 00:41:00,876
live at our residence full time

666
00:41:04,917 --> 00:41:05,684
and rent out our primary

667
00:41:05,684 --> 00:41:09,284
residence. The income we get is

668
00:41:10,323 --> 00:41:11,524
to pay for our expenses. The

669
00:41:11,524 --> 00:41:13,492
main problem is the significant

670
00:41:13,492 --> 00:41:16,492
taxes that we have experience

671
00:41:22,968 --> 00:41:25,368
from $6092 in 2018 to $6332 due

672
00:41:30,542 --> 00:41:33,542
to operating. This is an

673
00:41:37,550 --> 00:41:39,950
increase of 150%. And an

674
00:41:47,427 --> 00:41:48,160
increase of 275%. Our taxes

675
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:48,895
increase every year because now

676
00:41:48,895 --> 00:41:49,562
there is no limit on what to be

677
00:41:49,562 --> 00:41:52,232
charged. We would like the

678
00:41:52,232 --> 00:41:55,832
council to pass this bill to

679
00:41:56,636 --> 00:41:59,636
lower the tax classification in

680
00:42:01,808 --> 00:42:04,510
we are currently in and provide

681
00:42:04,510 --> 00:42:07,614
amnesty or our homes. Since we

682
00:42:07,614 --> 00:42:11,170
rent out a portion of our home,

683
00:42:11,170 --> 00:42:14,617
we should not be penalized for

684
00:42:18,591 --> 00:42:19,326
this property. We would like

685
00:42:19,326 --> 00:42:20,260
this council to implement the 3%

686
00:42:20,260 --> 00:42:23,260
cap that the other homeowners

687
00:42:27,667 --> 00:42:31,867
receive. We began to rent out in

688
00:42:32,872 --> 00:42:34,741
2016 but we were taxes in

689
00:42:34,741 --> 00:42:36,900
raised taxes in

690
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:39,579
2019. We are not sure if we are

691
00:42:39,579 --> 00:42:42,883
going to have to payback taxes

692
00:42:42,883 --> 00:42:45,840
and if we have to pay and

693
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:46,786
renewal fees, we have to

694
00:42:46,786 --> 00:42:49,186
discontinue from operating our

695
00:42:53,260 --> 00:42:53,727
tvr and will make it difficult

696
00:42:53,727 --> 00:42:54,661
to meet the monthly expenses.

697
00:42:54,661 --> 00:42:58,261
The county will lose the tat

698
00:42:59,833 --> 00:43:02,869
taxes we submit and we employ

699
00:43:02,869 --> 00:43:05,705
gardeners, cleaners etc and this

700
00:43:05,705 --> 00:43:07,807
would be impacted if we were o

701
00:43:07,807 --> 00:43:11,277
stop this tvr. Passing this bill

702
00:43:11,277 --> 00:43:13,780
will make a huge difference.

703
00:43:13,780 --> 00:43:16,416
Please pass his bill to lessen

704
00:43:16,416 --> 00:43:18,819
the tax burden on local

705
00:43:18,819 --> 00:43:21,819
homeowners by making ends meet.

706
00:43:22,555 --> 00:43:26,155
We hope the county passes bill

707
00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:44,844
173 and considers these

708
00:43:44,844 --> 00:43:46,844

good morning. The medal of honor

738
00:45:43,964 --> 00:45:46,364
is the highest military

739
00:45:51,372 --> 00:45:52,390
decoration our nation bestows.

740
00:45:52,390 --> 00:45:52,774
It is awarded not for doing

741
00:45:52,774 --> 00:45:56,211

742
00:45:56,211 --> 00:45:58,611
so extraordinary they defy

00:46:03,284 --> 00:46:03,985

769
00:47:19,460 --> 00:47:20,462
resolution is a critical part

770
00:47:20,462 --> 00:47:23,462
for this completion. I would

771
00:47:23,465 --> 00:47:24,632
like to recognize chair inaba

772
00:47:24,632 --> 00:47:26,467

to our veterans but also, the

775
00:47:32,307 --> 00:47:34,707
west hawai'I veterans cemetery.

776
00:47:35,376 --> 00:47:37,776
I respectfully urge this

777
00:47:40,615 --> 00:47:41,136

778
00:47:41,136 --> 00:47:43,136

kanealii-kleinfelder to my

786
00:48:10,446 --> 00:48:12,446
family's non-profit foundation.

787
00:48:14,683 --> 00:48:17,652
For expenses relating to our

788
00:48:17,652 --> 00:48:18,653
ceremony honoring the

789
00:48:18,653 --> 00:48:21,530
preservation of the honolulu,

790
00:48:21,790 --> 00:48:23,659
also known as honolulu landing.

791
00:48:23,659 --> 00:48:27,259
First and foremost, I ish to

792
00:48:29,165 --> 00:48:30,932
convey my oana's sincerest

793
00:48:30,932 --> 00:48:33,736
gratitude to mayor alameda and

794
00:48:33,736 --> 00:48:35,271
his staff, particularly the

795
00:48:35,271 --> 00:48:37,706
folks in the ponc division and

796
00:48:37,706 --> 00:48:39,842
to you, the hawai'I county

797
00:48:39,842 --> 00:48:42,242
council for graciously approving

798
00:48:47,816 --> 00:48:50,816
the acquisition of honolulu. My

799
00:48:52,888 --> 00:48:55,288
maternal grandmother was born

800
00:48:55,657 --> 00:48:57,726
there and I can recall that she

801
00:48:57,726 --> 00:49:01,326
fondly spoke of her life there.

802
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:05,401
We recently submitted a grant

803
00:49:05,401 --> 00:49:06,102
application to ponc for

804
00:49:06,102 --> 00:49:06,802
stewardship funds to continue

805
00:49:06,802 --> 00:49:08,270
the preservation process and

806
00:49:08,270 --> 00:49:10,639
maintenance of the property. As

807
00:49:10,639 --> 00:49:13,390
we explore restoration options

808
00:49:17,346 --> 00:49:18,847
of the former house dwellings,

809
00:49:18,847 --> 00:49:21,247
garden and livestock enclosures

810
00:49:21,850 --> 00:49:23,852
and most important the burials

811
00:49:23,852 --> 00:49:27,452
that exist there. We hope to

812
00:49:27,890 --> 00:49:30,860
work very closely with the state

813
00:49:30,860 --> 00:49:32,895
to see if these are protected.

814
00:49:32,895 --> 00:49:34,730
We have formed partnership with

815
00:49:34,730 --> 00:49:37,660
three area non-profits, two of

816
00:49:37,660 --> 00:49:39,868
whom have also applied for ponc

817
00:49:39,868 --> 00:49:42,905
funds to help in the undertaking

818
00:49:42,905 --> 00:49:45,274
of this venture. And to be

819
00:49:45,274 --> 00:49:48,110
funded and we hope to

820
00:49:48,110 --> 00:49:50,110
collaborate and provide

821
00:49:52,182 --> 00:49:54,582
opportunities for high school

822
00:49:58,621 --> 00:49:59,355
students and other areas in puna

823
00:49:59,355 --> 00:50:03,555
to help with learning as we seek

824
00:50:05,395 --> 00:50:06,950
to restore the illage. I would

825
00:50:06,950 --> 00:50:06,596
like to close with a special

826
00:50:06,596 --> 00:50:06,996

10:00 A.M. At the county park at

835
00:50:38,940 --> 00:50:38,828
the bottom of -- in hawaiian

836
00:50:38,828 --> 00:50:39,562
beaches. You should have already

837
00:50:39,562 --> 00:50:40,263
received our invitation and we

838
00:50:40,263 --> 00:50:41,164
hope to see you. We hope you

839
00:50:41,164 --> 00:50:42,799
will attend. Thank you.

840
00:50:42,799 --> 00:50:43,533
>>

841
00:50:43,533 --> 00:50:45,201
>> thank you for your testimony.

842
00:50:45,201 --> 00:50:47,201
>>

843
00:51:24,307 --> 00:51:26,707
>> next speaker, please. Aloha,

844
00:51:27,243 --> 00:51:30,843
council. I would like to invite

845
00:51:31,781 --> 00:51:34,417
you to celebrate the fiesta of

846
00:51:34,417 --> 00:51:36,519
the philippines. The funding

847
00:51:36,519 --> 00:51:39,519
will support the programming of

848
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:42,292
the expenses for this

849
00:51:42,292 --> 00:51:44,692
celebration. In east hawai'I,

850
00:51:44,928 --> 00:51:47,328
this tradition has flourished

851
00:51:47,330 --> 00:51:48,498
bringing together multiple

852
00:51:48,498 --> 00:51:50,467
filipinos together to share our 3

853
00:51:50,467 --> 00:51:52,669
culture and love for the

854
00:51:52,669 --> 00:51:54,571
traditions and helping filipino

855
00:51:54,571 --> 00:51:56,807
individuals like me in learning

856
00:51:56,807 --> 00:51:59,207
and deepening our relationship

857
00:51:59,809 --> 00:52:01,611
with the homeland. I actually

858
00:52:01,611 --> 00:52:04,348
learned about the tradition and

859
00:52:04,348 --> 00:52:06,383
got one myself at the barrio

860
00:52:06,383 --> 00:52:09,383
fiesta. I visited the tattoo

861
00:52:21,532 --> 00:52:24,532
artist in the philippines during

862
00:52:29,138 --> 00:52:29,440
my sabbatical time. This is

863
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,475
very profound. This brings

864
00:52:31,475 --> 00:52:33,475
multiple filipino communities

865
00:52:33,477 --> 00:52:36,477
together to share the culture

866
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,682
and love of the tradition and

867
00:52:38,682 --> 00:52:39,917
help individuals. The filipinos

868
00:52:39,917 --> 00:52:42,486
have contributed to the history

869
00:52:42,486 --> 00:52:43,554
of hawai'I as a tate but more

870
00:52:43,554 --> 00:52:44,822
importantly here on the big

871
00:52:44,822 --> 00:52:47,222
island. The hawai'I association

872
00:52:47,658 --> 00:52:49,593
of filipino educators have

873
00:52:49,593 --> 00:52:51,528
formed to ensure that the

874
00:52:51,528 --> 00:52:53,497
culture is brought into a

875
00:52:53,497 --> 00:52:55,897
relationship into the university

876
00:52:57,434 --> 00:52:59,603
curriculum. One MAY see these

877
00:52:59,603 --> 00:53:02,539
joyous events as a party, I'm

878
00:53:02,539 --> 00:53:04,341
not going to lie, the filipinos

879
00:53:04,341 --> 00:53:05,609
throw the best parties and they

880
00:53:05,609 --> 00:53:07,978
are significant in the lives of

881
00:53:07,978 --> 00:53:09,813
our students at uh hilo and

882
00:53:09,813 --> 00:53:12,813
hawai'I island. I fully support

883
00:53:29,501 --> 00:53:30,434
the funding request for this

884
00:53:30,434 --> 00:53:32,434
event.

885
00:53:33,637 --> 00:53:34,304
>>please introduce yourself.

886
00:53:34,304 --> 00:53:35,390
Please introduce yourself.

887
00:53:35,390 --> 00:53:35,539
>> you have three minutes for

888
00:53:35,539 --> 00:53:37,539
your testimony.

889
00:53:38,275 --> 00:53:41,275
>>public speaker: thank you, I'm

890
00:53:48,652 --> 00:53:52,252
renee godoy. First I want to

891
00:53:52,690 --> 00:53:55,900
speak about resolutions 636-26

892
00:53:56,794 --> 00:53:58,762
and 656-26, supporting our

893
00:53:58,762 --> 00:53:59,530
robust couples conference for

894
00:53:59,530 --> 00:54:02,667
first responders, and I want to

895
00:54:02,667 --> 00:54:05,703
start with a story of last year.

896
00:54:05,703 --> 00:54:07,738
We had a couple on the verge of

897
00:54:07,738 --> 00:54:09,741
divorce. They went to speak to

898
00:54:09,741 --> 00:54:11,943
one of our chaplains and the

899
00:54:11,943 --> 00:54:13,978
chaplain said just give this a

900
00:54:13,978 --> 00:54:16,748
chance, just try this before you

901
00:54:16,748 --> 00:54:18,583
divorce. They have several

902
00:54:18,583 --> 00:54:20,852
children, and she didn't want to

903
00:54:20,852 --> 00:54:22,753
see them in a divorce. They came

904
00:54:22,753 --> 00:54:24,756
to the conference. It turned

905
00:54:24,756 --> 00:54:26,825
their marriage around. They came

906
00:54:26,825 --> 00:54:29,927
in upset and they left happy. So

907
00:54:29,927 --> 00:54:31,196
that's why we o it. As you

908
00:54:31,196 --> 00:54:33,596
know, first responders, they

909
00:54:34,499 --> 00:54:36,100
deal with long shifts, exposures

910
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:38,302
to life threatening situations

911
00:54:38,302 --> 00:54:40,710
and long absences from home ot

912
00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:43,710
just during their shifts but

913
00:54:43,274 --> 00:54:46,274
every natural disaster, you do

914
00:54:47,879 --> 00:54:50,879
not have response at home

915
00:54:51,549 --> 00:54:51,883
because they are out epi

916
00:54:51,883 --> 00:54:53,883
nsuring

917
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:56,154
the safety of the public. They

918
00:54:56,154 --> 00:54:57,889
are often not there for the

919
00:54:57,889 --> 00:55:01,292
holidays and that tends to take

920
00:55:01,292 --> 00:55:02,260
a toll in a relationship. First

921
00:55:02,260 --> 00:55:04,426
responders receive hundreds if

922
00:55:04,829 --> 00:55:07,829
not thousands of hours in

923
00:55:13,504 --> 00:55:14,239
training on all kinds of stuff.

924
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:15,106
I often ask them, okay, how much

925
00:55:15,106 --> 00:55:18,209
training have you had a good

926
00:55:18,209 --> 00:55:20,945
partner, a good spouse, a goats

927
00:55:20,945 --> 00:55:22,747
father and mother, how many

928
00:55:22,747 --> 00:55:24,249
books have you read on those

929
00:55:24,249 --> 00:55:25,283
topics and MAY be where you are

930
00:55:25,283 --> 00:55:26,151
struggling because you have

931
00:55:26,151 --> 00:55:29,151
thousands of hours in training

932
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,756
on everything that impacts your

933
00:55:31,756 --> 00:55:34,125
career, but nothing on how your

934
00:55:34,125 --> 00:55:36,280
career is impacting the most

935
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,196
important relationships that are

936
00:55:38,196 --> 00:55:40,980
in your life. And this is what

937
00:55:40,980 --> 00:55:42,660
robust ttempts to do. We do

938
00:55:42,660 --> 00:55:44,702
bring in the people that

939
00:55:44,702 --> 00:55:47,102
specifically address the unique

940
00:55:48,172 --> 00:55:49,240
stresses that our first

941
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:52,240
responder family is going to

942
00:55:55,547 --> 00:55:56,247
face in their career. I want to

943
00:55:56,247 --> 00:55:58,647
thank council member kagiwada

944
00:55:59,517 --> 00:56:01,119
and hustace for introducing this

945
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:02,187
resolution, also thank you to

946
00:56:02,187 --> 00:56:04,355
their staff members because I

947
00:56:04,355 --> 00:56:06,258
know, I come up to say we are

948
00:56:06,258 --> 00:56:08,160
doing all of these awesome

949
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,228
things and they have to make

950
00:56:10,228 --> 00:56:13,228
spreadsheets and tables nd all

951
00:56:13,398 --> 00:56:17,598
of those things. A shout out to

952
00:56:18,170 --> 00:56:19,772

954
00:56:21,306 --> 00:56:24,306
providing for training that we

955
00:56:27,946 --> 00:56:28,680
put resources in the hands and

956
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:29,380
take with them when they leave

957
00:56:29,380 --> 00:56:30,150
for the first responders and

958
00:56:30,150 --> 00:56:32,217
training for the first

959
00:56:32,217 --> 00:56:34,286
responders and their families.

960
00:56:34,286 --> 00:56:36,422
Thank you to all of your aids

961
00:56:36,422 --> 00:56:37,356
that help us with this. Thank

962
00:56:37,356 --> 00:56:39,124
you very much. Council.

963
00:56:39,124 --> 00:56:41,124
>>

964
00:56:42,161 --> 00:56:45,161
>> thank you for your testimony.

965
00:56:46,265 --> 00:56:49,265
Chair your next testifier is

966
00:56:53,372 --> 00:56:55,274
dell testifying on resolution

967
00:56:55,274 --> 00:56:56,475
609, 602. When you are ready to

968
00:56:56,475 --> 00:56:58,875
begin, introduce yourself and

969
00:57:00,278 --> 00:57:01,980
you have three minutes per

970
00:57:01,980 --> 00:57:04,316
agenda item and you have three

971
00:57:04,316 --> 00:57:04,983
minutes to transition.

972
00:57:04,983 --> 00:57:06,351
>>public speaker: I hope to

973
00:57:06,351 --> 00:57:09,354
transition easy so we don't have

974
00:57:09,354 --> 00:57:12,954
to stop the clock. Good morning,

975
00:57:13,325 --> 00:57:14,359
my name is dell. I'm here

976
00:57:14,359 --> 00:57:17,462
again. I do appreciate what you

977
00:57:17,462 --> 00:57:19,565
all do, I do. It's hard to thank

978
00:57:19,565 --> 00:57:23,765
just any one of you because it's

979
00:57:29,341 --> 00:57:33,541
all of you. I'm here to support

980
00:57:40,408 --> 00:57:40,983
that. Not only that, I lways

981
00:57:40,983 --> 00:57:43,983
come before you because this

982
00:57:52,730 --> 00:57:55,730
chronic issue of staffing and

983
00:58:03,135 --> 00:58:04,592
vacancies is prevalent. I hear

984
00:58:04,592 --> 00:58:07,592
it through testimony and through

985
00:58:15,664 --> 00:58:16,405
some of your comments. So it is

986
00:58:16,405 --> 00:58:19,405
there. And to ignore it

987
00:58:27,455 --> 00:58:28,181
sometimes when we be theed and

988
00:58:28,181 --> 00:58:31,181
pass a million dollar consultant

989
00:58:39,249 --> 00:58:39,809
fees is kind of unexcusable and

990
00:58:39,809 --> 00:58:40,730
unacceptable to me. I say this

991
00:58:40,730 --> 00:58:40,335
because I know this passed to

992
00:58:40,335 --> 00:58:40,596
support unit but a lot of the

993
00:58:40,596 --> 00:58:40,854
times when I research, there is

994
00:58:40,854 --> 00:58:41,117
$40 million that was spent last

995
00:58:41,117 --> 00:58:41,370
year alone on consultant fees.

996
00:58:41,370 --> 00:58:41,634
And in the meantime, we've got

997
00:58:41,634 --> 00:58:41,893
vacancies with the leveled

998
00:58:41,893 --> 00:58:42,153
ifeguard,

999
00:58:42,153 --> 00:58:42,407
fire department, police

1000
00:58:42,407 --> 00:58:42,666
department and wastewater. We

1001
00:58:42,666 --> 00:58:42,926
are extending agreements into

1002
00:58:42,926 --> 00:58:43,190
five years for the different

1003
00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:43,452
structure. That's, kind of,

1004
00:58:43,452 --> 00:58:43,719
unacceptable because the cuts

1005
00:58:43,719 --> 00:58:47,319
will be more astronomical if we

1006
00:58:48,210 --> 00:58:48,755
wait that long. So all I'm

1007
00:58:48,755 --> 00:58:52,955
saying is while you look at the

1008
00:58:57,697 --> 00:58:58,398
different ussian

1009
00:58:58,398 --> 00:59:00,199
esolutions like bill

1010
00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:03,199
163, where is the money coming

1011
00:59:03,669 --> 00:59:05,905
from. Was glad to sit her to

1012
00:59:05,905 --> 00:59:07,905
listening to testimonies

1013
00:59:08,174 --> 00:59:09,909
regarding bill 173. It's true.

1014
00:59:09,909 --> 00:59:11,944
These are just paper things

1015
00:59:11,944 --> 00:59:13,813
coming before us. What are the

1016
00:59:13,813 --> 00:59:16,716
most fiscal responsible thing to

1017
00:59:16,716 --> 00:59:18,718
do. Do we do this for the

1018
00:59:18,718 --> 00:59:20,820
county? Which is why you are

1019
00:59:20,820 --> 00:59:22,889
all here. But do we do it for

1020
00:59:22,889 --> 00:59:24,924
the residents that you represent

1021
00:59:24,924 --> 00:59:28,524
in the county. For me, please

1022
00:59:31,764 --> 00:59:32,498
give pause to them, due to the

1023
00:59:32,498 --> 00:59:34,498
resolutions and communications

1024
00:59:35,836 --> 00:59:36,869
and bills that require fees for

1025
00:59:36,869 --> 00:59:38,972
consultants because we are

1026
00:59:38,972 --> 00:59:40,973
spending way too much for future

1027
00:59:40,973 --> 00:59:43,900
and not dealing with the current

1028
00:59:43,900 --> 00:59:45,845
crisis we have now. So to me,

1029
00:59:45,845 --> 00:59:47,847
no. 1, fill the vacancies. They

1030
00:59:47,847 --> 00:59:50,450
are in all departments. We

1031
00:59:50,450 --> 00:59:53,520
cannot keep on moving things on

1032
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,520
without fixing that problem. We

1033
00:59:58,491 --> 01:00:01,491
can't. We cannot do the

1034
01:00:03,897 --> 01:00:06,660
projects without fixing it. And

1035
01:00:06,660 --> 01:00:08,100
do away with the 90 days. Just

1036
01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:11,601
hire them. We don't have to

1037
01:00:21,181 --> 01:00:22,983
worry about the m

1038
01:00:22,983 --> 01:00:23,884
>>

1039
01:00:23,884 --> 01:00:26,884
>> thank you for your testimony.

1040
01:00:31,959 --> 01:00:32,693
Chair, your last testifier at

1041
01:00:32,693 --> 01:00:35,562
the beginning of the meeting is

1042
01:00:35,562 --> 01:00:35,962
stephanie. Please introduce

1043
01:00:35,962 --> 01:00:36,697
yourself.

1044
01:00:36,697 --> 01:00:37,197
>> you have three minutes for

1045
01:00:37,197 --> 01:00:38,966
your testimony.

1046
01:00:38,966 --> 01:00:41,966
>>if you can just introduce 3

1047
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,880
yourself and

1048
01:00:55,983 --> 01:00:58,983
on behalf of bills or

1049
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,880
communications 1001, first. But

1050
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,991
before I do that, I would like

1051
01:01:03,991 --> 01:01:07,270
to congratulate those of you who

1052
01:01:07,270 --> 01:01:09,196
applied for your jobs as county 3

1053
01:01:09,196 --> 01:01:11,932
council people and were hired

1054
01:01:11,932 --> 01:01:14,670
during the primary. I think that

1055
01:01:14,670 --> 01:01:17,667
it's wonderful that you can put

1056
01:01:18,138 --> 01:01:20,730
your shoulders to the wheel and

1057
01:01:20,730 --> 01:01:21,308
focus on your service to the

1058
01:01:21,308 --> 01:01:23,708
community instead of the

1059
01:01:24,678 --> 01:01:28,278
campaign which I know can be

1060
01:01:30,117 --> 01:01:32,517
draining. I really appreciate

1061
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:34,988
what you do. Serving on the puna

1062
01:01:34,988 --> 01:01:37,191
community development plan, I

1063
01:01:37,191 --> 01:01:39,326
can see how important it is to

1064
01:01:39,326 --> 01:01:42,926
have your support and have your

1065
01:01:43,231 --> 01:01:44,198
ear when we set priorities as

1066
01:01:44,198 --> 01:01:46,198
community development plan

1067
01:01:46,366 --> 01:01:49,236
action committees. So that we

1068
01:01:49,236 --> 01:01:50,403
can realize and implement some

1069
01:01:50,403 --> 01:01:52,973
of the goals and objectives

1070
01:01:52,973 --> 01:01:55,976
within our plans and this is not

1071
01:01:55,976 --> 01:01:57,477
just for puna, but island wide.

1072
01:01:57,477 --> 01:01:59,447
When action committees are not

1073
01:01:59,447 --> 01:02:01,382
fully staffed, what my

1074
01:02:01,382 --> 01:02:03,283
experience has been as an action

1075
01:02:03,283 --> 01:02:06,283
committee member is that we

1076
01:02:07,554 --> 01:02:10,458
don't meet quorum, so we can't

1077
01:02:10,458 --> 01:02:13,327
proceed and do business because

1078
01:02:13,327 --> 01:02:15,295
we only have funding to meet

1079
01:02:15,295 --> 01:02:16,531
every other month. If we MISS A

1080
01:02:16,531 --> 01:02:19,433
month, we can't vote, but you

1081
01:02:19,433 --> 01:02:23,330
know, it's a problem. So today,

1082
01:02:25,673 --> 01:02:29,273
I'm very grateful that we have

1083
01:02:36,746 --> 01:02:40,346
two nominees here. I met jail

1084
01:02:46,974 --> 01:02:46,975
lyn 3

1085
01:02:46,975 --> 01:02:46,976
last year and I was very

1086
01:02:46,976 --> 01:02:46,976
impressed with her focus, her

1087
01:02:46,976 --> 01:02:46,977
groundedness and willingness to

1088
01:02:46,977 --> 01:02:46,978
serve within the hawaiian acres

1089
01:02:46,978 --> 01:02:46,978
community. So I mentioned to

1090
01:02:46,978 --> 01:02:46,979
her, hey, would you consider

1091
01:02:46,979 --> 01:02:48,496
being on the action committee so

1092
01:02:48,496 --> 01:02:50,431
we can fill some seats and I'm

1093
01:02:50,431 --> 01:02:53,431
just very grateful for her

1094
01:03:02,510 --> 01:03:06,710
I would like to testify now on

1095
01:03:13,566 --> 01:03:15,566
communications 1002.

1096
01:03:24,635 --> 01:03:24,638
I believe I met gary a couple

1097
01:03:24,638 --> 01:03:24,639
years ago and I was very

1098
01:03:24,639 --> 01:03:24,640
impressed with his passion for

1099
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:24,640
food security. Being on an

1100
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:24,641
island and especially with all

1101
01:03:24,641 --> 01:03:26,701
of the funding that's being cut,

1102
01:03:26,701 --> 01:03:30,710
gary has some insights that he

1103
01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:34,271
can bring to the table on food

1104
01:03:35,430 --> 01:03:36,678
security. So I support both of

1105
01:03:36,678 --> 01:03:38,613
these folks and I also

1106
01:03:38,613 --> 01:03:40,682
appreciate gary for his

1107
01:03:40,682 --> 01:03:43,820
willingness to serve. I

1108
01:03:51,737 --> 01:03:53,629
wholeheartedly ask that you run

1109
01:03:53,629 --> 01:03:55,764
their names through and get them

1110
01:03:55,764 --> 01:03:57,198
confirmed for the next action

1111

you know what, that's why I was

1151
01:05:21,116 --> 01:05:24,116
asking. I was looking earlier.

1152
01:05:24,286 --> 01:05:27,286
It didn't look familiar. MR.

1153
01:05:28,123 --> 01:05:29,191
Alameda, please introduce us.

1154
01:05:29,191 --> 01:05:31,191
>>micah alameda, executive

1155
01:05:31,326 --> 01:05:33,726
assistant: mahalo nui, MR.

1156
01:05:34,620 --> 01:05:35,631
Chair. Back-to-back days, we

1157
01:05:35,631 --> 01:05:38,100
don't do this often. One thing I

1158
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:41,690
appreciate on council, office of

1159
01:05:41,690 --> 01:05:42,238
the mayor. One thing I do

1160
01:05:42,238 --> 01:05:43,705
appreciate about council days is

1161
01:05:43,705 --> 01:05:46,105
the appreciation and their

1162
01:05:47,343 --> 01:05:50,943
gratitude that we start off with

1163
01:05:55,500 --> 01:05:56,953
honoring officer haweo award and

1164
01:05:56,953 --> 01:05:59,953
two youth, and honoring our

1165
01:06:00,222 --> 01:06:01,891
lifeguards and fire and in parks

1166
01:06:01,891 --> 01:06:04,192
and rec. Starting off with

1167
01:06:04,192 --> 01:06:07,192
gratitude is what makes this

1168
01:06:07,195 --> 01:06:09,198
county different from other

1169
01:06:09,198 --> 01:06:11,198
municipalities across this

1170
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,202
current united states. This is

1171
01:06:13,202 --> 01:06:15,238
one of the reasons that makes

1172
01:06:15,238 --> 01:06:17,306
this the best island I think in

1173
01:06:17,306 --> 01:06:19,509
our island chain. I also want to

1174
01:06:19,509 --> 01:06:21,277
just share the appreciation we

1175
01:06:21,277 --> 01:06:22,211
have for the work that you folks

1176
01:06:22,211 --> 01:06:24,211
do.

1177
01:06:25,414 --> 01:06:29,252
It's not easy. Many of you have

1178
01:06:29,252 --> 01:06:30,453
multiple jobs, young keiki.

1179
01:06:30,453 --> 01:06:32,388
This work calls yu. You are

1180
01:06:32,388 --> 01:06:33,523
doing this work for the greater

1181
01:06:33,523 --> 01:06:36,359
service and as someone who is

1182
01:06:36,359 --> 01:06:38,327
also a servant of this work with

1183
01:06:38,327 --> 01:06:40,362
young keiki who often take he

1184
01:06:40,362 --> 01:06:42,298
backseat to what we do here,

1185
01:06:42,298 --> 01:06:45,301
mahalo you guys. It is not

1186
01:06:45,301 --> 01:06:47,136
easy, but you folks step forward

1187
01:06:47,136 --> 01:06:48,400
every single day. As someone

1188
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:49,972
from the administration who

1189
01:06:49,972 --> 01:06:51,506
comes here to bring individuals

1190
01:06:51,506 --> 01:06:54,430
every two weeks or monthly, I

1191
01:06:54,430 --> 01:06:56,879
never know what to expect. But

1192
01:06:56,879 --> 01:07:00,916
I can tell you this, I can

1193
01:07:00,916 --> 01:07:04,516
expect gratitude to start as a

1194
01:07:06,589 --> 01:07:09,589
foundation. And as a shared

1195
01:07:09,792 --> 01:07:13,392
value. Moving right off into it,

1196
01:07:40,990 --> 01:07:44,590
I'm going to start with jalyn

1197
01:07:49,533 --> 01:07:50,266
comes to us. She used to serve

1198
01:07:50,266 --> 01:07:51,468
on the hawaiian acres. She lives

1199
01:07:51,468 --> 01:07:53,569
on hawaiian acres. I respect her

1200
01:07:53,569 --> 01:07:55,705
for that. It's hard work to live

1201
01:07:55,705 --> 01:07:56,940
there the way it is now. Mahalo

1202
01:07:56,940 --> 01:07:59,375
for continuing to sustain life

1203
01:07:59,375 --> 01:08:02,245
out there in upper puna. She

1204
01:08:02,245 --> 01:08:04,614
comes to us with an associate's

1205
01:08:04,614 --> 01:08:07,140
degree, self-employed farmer and

1206
01:08:09,219 --> 01:08:10,887
as you heard from stephanie,

1207
01:08:10,887 --> 01:08:14,487
jalyn is super bright and will

1208
01:08:15,692 --> 01:08:16,693
show up for puna. Mahalo and MR.

1209
01:08:16,693 --> 01:08:18,662
Chair, back to you.

1210
01:08:18,662 --> 01:08:20,697
>>thank you. Would you like to

1211
01:08:20,697 --> 01:08:23,697
share anything about this cdp

1212
01:08:38,448 --> 01:08:40,448
action committee?

1213
01:08:46,890 --> 01:08:47,891
>> thank you. I appreciate being

1214
01:08:47,891 --> 01:08:50,760
here. Our roads are a concern in

1215
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,796
our county and we have potential

1216
01:08:52,796 --> 01:08:55,332
issues and solutions. So, being

1217
01:08:55,332 --> 01:08:58,101
able to be part of the solution

1218
01:08:58,101 --> 01:09:00,103
is what I'm really grateful for

1219
01:09:00,103 --> 01:09:02,139
that opportunity to do and

1220
01:09:02,139 --> 01:09:05,139
however, that serves, I'm here

1221
01:09:14,317 --> 01:09:15,586
for it. Thank you.

1222
01:09:15,586 --> 01:09:19,186
>>klein thank you very much for

1223
01:09:19,923 --> 01:09:20,657
being hre. I know you from the

1224
01:09:20,657 --> 01:09:21,892
hawaiian corporation where you

1225
01:09:21,892 --> 01:09:22,259
are PRESIDENT, correct me if I

1226
01:09:22,259 --> 01:09:24,610
am wrong?

1227
01:09:24,610 --> 01:09:25,896
>> I have actually recently

1228
01:09:25,896 --> 01:09:27,896
resigned from that.

1229
01:09:28,310 --> 01:09:29,933
>>I understand. I understand why

1230
01:09:29,933 --> 01:09:31,969
you stepped up and why you

1231
01:09:31,969 --> 01:09:33,937
stepped down. Why it's

1232
01:09:33,937 --> 01:09:35,238
difficult. You are not paid, and

1233
01:09:35,238 --> 01:09:40,380
you stand up and do a job and

1234
01:09:42,747 --> 01:09:43,480
try to help your community and I

1235
01:09:43,480 --> 01:09:44,181
have been to those meetings and

1236
01:09:44,181 --> 01:09:46,384
they are brutal especially to

1237
01:09:46,384 --> 01:09:49,384
make those meetings an absolute

1238
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:51,221
nightmare. So y point is, do

1239
01:09:51,221 --> 01:09:54,580
you understand the issues that

1240
01:09:54,580 --> 01:09:55,920
we have in puna, specifically do

1241
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:57,762
you understand some of the road

1242
01:09:57,762 --> 01:10:01,362
challenges that we have with the

1243
01:10:01,933 --> 01:10:02,233
private subdivisions and their

1244
01:10:02,233 --> 01:10:04,233
roads?

1245
01:10:05,269 --> 01:10:06,704
You live there, and you know and

1246
01:10:06,704 --> 01:10:08,305
that's the difference. Some

1247
01:10:08,305 --> 01:10:10,410
people n the committee, some

1248
01:10:10,410 --> 01:10:11,809
people in community can speak to

1249
01:10:11,809 --> 01:10:14,178
it, but they don't understand

1250
01:10:14,178 --> 01:10:17,615
it. Having you on the action

1251
01:10:17,615 --> 01:10:20,615
committee will provide not only

1252
01:10:21,152 --> 01:10:24,188
a leg up for upper puna in

1253
01:10:24,188 --> 01:10:26,588
district 5, given what I'm

1254
01:10:26,957 --> 01:10:29,957
seeing today with MR. Rosenberg

1255
01:10:34,165 --> 01:10:35,199
and yourself. But also, start

1256
01:10:35,199 --> 01:10:37,268
to more of a deeper insight as

1257
01:10:37,268 --> 01:10:39,503
to what is needed in puna. The

1258
01:10:39,503 --> 01:10:43,103
way I opened is specific because

1259
01:10:43,107 --> 01:10:45,209
you stepped up to help community

1260
01:10:45,209 --> 01:10:46,577
in the hawaiian corporation and

1261
01:10:46,577 --> 01:10:49,280
you stepped down because it was

1262
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,182
a lot, but you are stepping back

1263
01:10:51,182 --> 01:10:53,250
up to be on the action committee

1264
01:10:53,250 --> 01:10:55,887
which is similar but more of a

1265
01:10:55,887 --> 01:10:57,880
county driven mechanism. And I

1266
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,688
expect great things from you on

1267
01:11:04,528 --> 01:11:05,274
this committee. Thank you and to

1268
01:11:05,274 --> 01:11:07,674
the administration for bringing

1269
01:11:09,367 --> 01:11:11,367
MS. Brendalyn forward.

1270
01:11:20,438 --> 01:11:21,497
>>thank you, council member. I

1271
01:11:21,497 --> 01:11:25,970
do appreciate that and really do

1272
01:11:32,570 --> 01:11:35,570
hope to bring not only

1273
01:11:36,981 --> 01:11:37,235
resolutions for our roads but

1274
01:11:37,235 --> 01:11:37,494
for our associations as well. I

1275
01:11:37,494 --> 01:11:37,749
see a lot of people performing

1276
01:11:37,749 --> 01:11:38,600
and come forward with a lot of

1277
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:38,263
great plans and sometimes it

1278
01:11:38,263 --> 01:11:38,515
needs a few extra places to make

1279
01:11:38,515 --> 01:11:38,769
the action follow through.

1280
01:11:38,769 --> 01:11:39,230
>>one question, did shannon help

1281
01:11:39,230 --> 01:11:40,431
you get onto the commission, did

1282
01:11:40,431 --> 01:11:41,333
she bring you forward? No?

1283
01:11:41,333 --> 01:11:43,333
Okay, thank you.

1284
01:11:44,336 --> 01:11:44,735
>>thank you, council member,

1285
01:11:44,735 --> 01:11:45,337
kierkiewicz.

1286
01:11:45,337 --> 01:11:45,971
>>

1287
01:11:45,971 --> 01:11:46,704
>> council member ashley

1288
01:11:46,704 --> 01:11:48,706
kierkiewicz: thank you. It was

1289
01:11:48,706 --> 01:11:50,775
so nice o immediate you earlier

1290
01:11:50,775 --> 01:11:52,611
this morning. Thank you for

1291
01:11:52,611 --> 01:11:54,512
making the time to volunteer to

1292
01:11:54,512 --> 01:11:57,382
support community. While you do

1293
01:11:57,382 --> 01:11:58,583
reside in district 5, you do sit

1294
01:11:58,583 --> 01:12:00,180
on the puna community

1295
01:12:00,180 --> 01:12:02,200
development action committee. So

1296
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:03,488
taking a step back and thinking

1297
01:12:03,488 --> 01:12:04,723
about how your community is

1298
01:12:04,723 --> 01:12:06,825
integrated with the entire

1299
01:12:06,825 --> 01:12:09,161
region and making sure that

1300
01:12:09,161 --> 01:12:10,762
there is equitable distribution,

1301
01:12:10,762 --> 01:12:13,162
of resources and access 3

1302
01:12:15,634 --> 01:12:18,340
throughout the entire region

1303
01:12:18,603 --> 01:12:21,606
which is on oahu. We are going

1304
01:12:21,606 --> 01:12:24,142
to be terming out in three

1305
01:12:24,142 --> 01:12:26,542
months and new leaders

1306
01:12:27,790 --> 01:12:28,313
representing puna, two district

1307
01:12:28,313 --> 01:12:30,582
representatives. I have always

1308
01:12:30,582 --> 01:12:31,616
had a wonderful relationship

1309
01:12:31,616 --> 01:12:32,617
with the action committee and

1310
01:12:32,617 --> 01:12:34,352
different projects that you

1311
01:12:34,352 --> 01:12:36,154
would like to do or legislation

1312
01:12:36,154 --> 01:12:37,655
and often do the action

1313
01:12:37,655 --> 01:12:39,558
committee to socialize those

1314
01:12:39,558 --> 01:12:41,958
ideas because you are

1315
01:12:44,562 --> 01:12:45,197
individuals that live in

1316
01:12:45,197 --> 01:12:45,831
community and going to be

1317
01:12:45,831 --> 01:12:46,531
impacted by any of those

1318
01:12:46,531 --> 01:12:48,931
practices with legislation. I

1319
01:12:50,335 --> 01:12:53,335
encourage you and MR. Rosenberg

1320
01:12:57,142 --> 01:12:57,876
to develop that position with

1321

1349
01:13:50,763 --> 01:13:53,532
bit of what you are saying about

1350
01:13:53,532 --> 01:13:55,834
really taking into account our

1351
01:13:55,834 --> 01:13:57,403
entire community of puna and

1352
01:13:57,403 --> 01:14:01,300
it's not just our roads that

1353
01:14:02,407 --> 01:14:04,877
connect us, but we are all

1354
01:14:04,877 --> 01:14:06,912
really equally affected by the

1355
01:14:06,912 --> 01:14:08,781
amount of rain we receive and

1356
01:14:08,781 --> 01:14:10,616
drainage that heavily affects

1357
01:14:10,616 --> 01:14:14,816
our roads. When I do look at

1358
01:14:18,570 --> 01:14:19,258

01:14:26,365 --> 01:14:28,234

to recommended gary rosenberg to

the puna community development

1404
01:15:51,283 --> 01:15:53,520
plan action committee. He's been

1405
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,230
a resident for over 35 years. He

1406
01:15:57,230 --> 01:16:00,623
came to me initially as a

1407
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:02,862
referral from MS. Bath who also 3

1408
01:16:02,862 --> 01:16:05,262
referred jalyn. Through that,

1409
01:16:05,365 --> 01:16:07,367
actually spoke o MR. Rosenberg

1410
01:16:07,367 --> 01:16:10,403
a few times over the phone and

1411
01:16:10,403 --> 01:16:13,473
physically when he came into the

1412
01:16:13,473 --> 01:16:15,408
office and talking to him over

1413
01:16:15,408 --> 01:16:17,577
the phone, I thought he was the

1414
01:16:17,577 --> 01:16:19,120
real deal. Through my

1415
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,412
conversations with him, I

1416
01:16:22,449 --> 01:16:24,418
realized he has a huge passion

1417
01:16:24,418 --> 01:16:26,420
and mega force for food security

1418
01:16:26,420 --> 01:16:27,320
and very passionate about

1419
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,589
agriculture. When he was talking

1420
01:16:29,589 --> 01:16:31,458
about raising pigs and working

1421
01:16:31,458 --> 01:16:32,659
with students, I said,

1422
01:16:32,659 --> 01:16:35,659
kamehameha schools where I went

1423
01:16:38,980 --> 01:16:39,766
to school, they have a piggery

1424
01:16:39,766 --> 01:16:42,569
and he said I'm already working

1425
01:16:42,569 --> 01:16:43,736
with that. He comes to us right

1426
01:16:43,736 --> 01:16:46,736
from the farm going straight

1427
01:16:51,511 --> 01:16:55,111
back after this. I believe he

1428
01:16:55,515 --> 01:16:57,617
would benefit greatly from MR.

1429
01:16:57,617 --> 01:16:59,617
Rosenberg's experience. MR.

1430
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,404
Chair, back to you.

1431
01:17:21,408 --> 01:17:22,342

01:18:36,884 --> 01:18:39,284
for revitalize puna activation. 3

1454
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:40,921
so incredibly impressed by how

1455
01:18:40,921 --> 01:18:43,524
your mind works, the complexity

1456
01:18:43,524 --> 01:18:45,325
of it and also the ability to

1457
01:18:45,325 --> 01:18:46,527
take those complex ideas and do

1458
01:18:46,527 --> 01:18:48,950
something meaningful on the

1459
01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:49,496

1460
01:18:49,496 --> 01:18:52,132

1461
01:18:52,132 --> 01:18:52,967
passions that you have to the

1462
01:18:52,967 --> 01:18:55,769
action committee. I love the

1463
01:18:55,769 --> 01:18:57,638
fact that you are a fire

1464
01:18:57,638 --> 01:18:58,973
cracker. Sometimes we do need to

1465
01:18:58,973 --> 01:19:00,808
shake things up a little bit.

1466
01:19:00,808 --> 01:19:03,811
Use that forum as an opportunity

1467
01:19:03,811 --> 01:19:05,450
to expound ideas and also to

1468
01:19:05,450 --> 01:19:06,747
provide some leadership. As a

1469
01:19:06,747 --> 01:19:08,582
committee, you folks could be

1470
01:19:08,582 --> 01:19:09,984
writing letters and sending that

1471
01:19:09,984 --> 01:19:11,318
to the council for

1472
01:19:11,318 --> 01:19:13,718

of the departments

1476
01:19:19,590 --> 01:19:20,828
important to you folks to use

1477
01:19:20,828 --> 01:19:23,230
that opportunity to send over

1478
01:19:23,230 --> 01:19:25,333
ideas and request their presence

1479
01:19:25,333 --> 01:19:26,567

provide testimony and thank you

1903
01:33:10,530 --> 01:33:11,163
council member galimba for this

1904
01:33:11,163 --> 01:33:11,764
resolution. I'm from the

1905
01:33:11,764 --> 01:33:12,865
foundation and irs and

1906
01:33:12,865 --> 01:33:14,865
charitable organization. Hawai'I

1907
01:33:15,702 --> 01:33:17,637
county is experiencing a

1908
01:33:17,637 --> 01:33:19,637
substantial problem with

1909
01:33:20,673 --> 01:33:23,673
community cats, feral and stray

1910
01:33:25,778 --> 01:33:29,978
cats and that is a problem with

1911
01:33:31,551 --> 01:33:34,551
birds, insects and sea turtles.

1912
01:33:36,856 --> 01:33:39,856
Hawai'I county's cats have cause

1913
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,795
very strong confrontations as a

1914
01:33:42,795 --> 01:33:45,795
threat to native species and

1915
01:33:49,102 --> 01:33:53,302
those who wish to see feral and

1916
01:33:53,674 --> 01:33:57,274
stray cats in a decedent manner

1917
01:34:00,347 --> 01:34:02,347
nt manner.

1918
01:34:06,820 --> 01:34:09,990
Our current focus is a sanctuary

1919
01:34:09,990 --> 01:34:12,990
located in captain cook. The

1920
01:34:13,927 --> 01:34:16,630
requested funds will help the

1921
01:34:16,630 --> 01:34:17,998
entire island which will help

1922
01:34:17,998 --> 01:34:19,533
multiple locations across the

1923
01:34:19,533 --> 01:34:21,680
island and the first year

1924
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,680
operational plan for the kona

1925
01:34:27,574 --> 01:34:30,574
cat commons. However, -- the

1926
01:34:33,947 --> 01:34:34,680
community cat situation in

1927
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:35,382
hawai'I county is so severe that

1928
01:34:35,382 --> 01:34:36,116
no one intervention by itself

1929
01:34:36,116 --> 01:34:37,217
will contain the problem. Thus

1930
01:34:37,217 --> 01:34:39,887
the development and operation of

1931
01:34:39,887 --> 01:34:41,889
the kona cat commons will serve

1932
01:34:41,889 --> 01:34:42,923
as a pilot project for the

1933
01:34:42,923 --> 01:34:45,323
county's broader effort to

1934
01:34:45,959 --> 01:34:48,228
address the cat situation. The

1935
01:34:48,228 --> 01:34:49,830
plan will be the property of

1936
01:34:49,830 --> 01:34:51,431
hawai'I county as the owner of

1937
01:34:51,431 --> 01:34:54,100
the plan, the county will be

1938
01:34:54,100 --> 01:34:57,370
able to use or modify the plan

1939
01:34:57,370 --> 01:34:58,138
at its discretion. Currently,

1940
01:34:58,138 --> 01:35:00,538
several initiatives are underway

1941
01:35:00,908 --> 01:35:02,943
to address the cat issue in our

1942
01:35:02,943 --> 01:35:05,343
county. However, these efforts

1943
01:35:05,345 --> 01:35:07,914
are uncoordinated and often work

1944
01:35:07,914 --> 01:35:09,950
in a counterproductive manner.

1945
01:35:09,950 --> 01:35:12,185
Thus one outcome of this project

1946
01:35:12,185 --> 01:35:13,186
will be a major step forward in 3

1947
01:35:13,186 --> 01:35:15,186
strengthening and coordinating

1948
01:35:15,289 --> 01:35:17,290
the county's island wide efforts

1949
01:35:17,290 --> 01:35:20,290
to control the community cat

1950
01:35:25,833 --> 01:35:26,466
population in a humane manner.

1951
01:35:26,466 --> 01:35:26,868
This will benefit several

1952
01:35:26,868 --> 01:35:27,128
constituent

1953
01:35:27,128 --> 01:35:29,128
cy

1954
01:35:29,637 --> 01:35:31,637
ies across the

1955
01:35:32,673 --> 01:35:35,143
hawai'I county island and this

1956
01:35:35,143 --> 01:35:37,211
is due to environmental and

1957
01:35:37,211 --> 01:35:39,611
toxic consequences of unmanaged

1958
01:35:40,214 --> 01:35:42,614
cat population. The process

1959
01:35:42,717 --> 01:35:45,119
will help the pro bird community

1960
01:35:45,119 --> 01:35:46,253
that is a hreat to the native

1961
01:35:46,253 --> 01:35:48,289
species on the island and will

1962
01:35:48,289 --> 01:35:51,889
benefit the pro cat members of

1963
01:35:56,330 --> 01:35:59,930
the community that seek a humane

1964
01:36:07,396 --> 01:36:08,190
way to deal with community cats

1965
01:36:08,190 --> 01:36:10,419
and once this becomes

1966
01:36:19,860 --> 01:36:20,701
operational, it will benefit big

1967
01:36:20,701 --> 01:36:22,701
island opportunities for

1968
01:36:28,521 --> 01:36:28,796
students. Mahalo for your time.

situation we are in and his

2002
01:37:09,537 --> 01:37:10,238
request to develop a plan, I

2003
01:37:10,238 --> 01:37:10,972
think is very appropriate. He

2004
01:37:10,972 --> 01:37:12,441
will be working with keone with

2005
01:37:12,441 --> 01:37:15,109

2014

2262
01:44:44,128 --> 01:44:46,964
thanks, chair. I was able to

2263
01:44:46,964 --> 01:44:49,000
visit this child care program in

2264
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,000
hilo. It's a delightful place

2265
01:44:52,103 --> 01:44:55,390
really working with young keiki

2266
01:44:55,390 --> 01:44:56,240
to work on a lot of social

2267
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:59,240
emotional skills, which I know

2268
01:45:05,490 --> 01:45:07,618
is one of the main things that

2269
01:45:07,618 --> 01:45:10,180
kindergarten teachers come in

2270
01:45:10,187 --> 01:45:12,123
when new kids come in. They

2271
01:45:12,123 --> 01:45:14,910
really want them to have some of

2272
01:45:14,910 --> 01:45:16,294
that executive function and

2273
01:45:16,294 --> 01:45:19,970
social emotional skills. The ne

2274
01:45:19,970 --> 01:45:21,990
thing when we are visiting is

2275
01:45:21,990 --> 01:45:23,300
they are in a former medical

2276
01:45:23,300 --> 01:45:26,300
building and their outdoor place

2277
01:45:26,838 --> 01:45:29,106
is basically mostly their old

2278
01:45:29,106 --> 01:45:31,142
parking lot. So it's a paved

2279
01:45:31,142 --> 01:45:33,244
space. I wanted to give them

2280
01:45:33,244 --> 01:45:36,181
some support to green the space

2281
01:45:36,181 --> 01:45:38,182
a little more, get nature in

2282
01:45:38,182 --> 01:45:39,317
there and allow them to do more

2283
01:45:39,317 --> 01:45:42,917
with the young keiki and get

2284
01:45:46,223 --> 01:45:49,823
them in touch with nature. So

2285
01:45:57,293 --> 01:45:58,712
looking for my colleagues

2286
01:45:58,712 --> 01:46:00,712

the previous resolution 633.26.

2579
01:53:11,533 --> 01:53:14,169

with another three minute

2581
01:53:16,472 --> 01:53:17,139

2582
01:53:17,139 --> 01:53:18,206
first of all thank council

2583
01:53:18,206 --> 01:53:19,808

2584
01:53:19,808 --> 01:53:22,511

2585
01:53:22,511 --> 01:53:24,546

words she spoke earlier in

2587
01:53:31,786 --> 01:53:35,386
support. I want to reiterate two

2588
01:53:37,562 --> 01:53:37,827
points and I will let you move

2589
01:53:37,827 --> 01:53:38,594
on with your agenda. We are 3

2590
01:53:38,594 --> 01:53:39,728
working with keone von and if

2591
01:53:39,728 --> 01:53:42,463
you haven't worked with the

2592
01:53:42,463 --> 01:53:43,798
cats, it's world-class. And

2593
01:53:43,798 --> 01:53:45,800
lessons learned on the big

2594
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:47,802
island. The other point I want

2595
01:53:47,802 --> 01:53:49,704
to make is stress while we are

2596
01:53:49,704 --> 01:53:52,274

2597
01:53:52,274 --> 01:53:55,376

2601
01:54:00,882 --> 01:54:02,717

2602

2603

3378
02:15:29,630 --> 02:15:31,165
Kimball: before discussion of

3379
02:15:31,165 --> 02:15:33,200
the amendment that I have, I did

3380
02:15:33,200 --> 02:15:35,600
want to call everyone's

3381
02:15:36,603 --> 02:15:37,738
attention to communication

3382
02:15:37,738 --> 02:15:40,738
960.5. I thought it might be

3383
02:15:41,841 --> 02:15:45,441
helpful for everyone to have an

3384
02:15:46,613 --> 02:15:47,414
opportunity to kind of viblz the

3385
02:15:47,414 --> 02:15:49,414
sualize

3386
02:15:49,616 --> 02:15:53,216
the impact of the operation of 3

3387
02:15:54,854 --> 02:15:56,423
an stvr on a homeowner's

3388
02:15:56,423 --> 02:15:59,425
property tax. He's on his way

3389
02:15:59,425 --> 02:16:00,694
over for questions. Is an

3390
02:16:00,694 --> 02:16:03,694
example property over the course

3391
02:16:04,697 --> 02:16:06,800
of ten years where on the green

3392
02:16:06,800 --> 02:16:08,735
line at the bottom is where they

3393
02:16:08,735 --> 02:16:11,735
are capped at the 3% assessment.

3394
02:16:17,411 --> 02:16:18,144
There is no short-term

3395
02:16:18,144 --> 02:16:20,544
operation. Indicates the blue

3396
02:16:22,448 --> 02:16:22,849
line over that market

3397
02:16:22,849 --> 02:16:23,517
valkyrie'sed

3398
02:16:23,517 --> 02:16:24,851
value,

3399
02:16:24,851 --> 02:16:26,453
that increased over the time

3400
02:16:26,453 --> 02:16:30,530
period and you see that massive

3401
02:16:32,391 --> 02:16:34,827
jump from about 2500 to almost

3402
02:16:34,827 --> 02:16:37,827
9,000 in terms of their property

3403
02:16:39,465 --> 02:16:42,680
tax. We did already take the 3%

3404
02:16:42,680 --> 02:16:45,872
cap out of this bill, but I do

3405
02:16:45,872 --> 02:16:47,940
think that there is still value

3406
02:16:47,940 --> 02:16:49,942
in potentially creating a

3407
02:16:49,942 --> 02:16:52,780
different tax class that has a

3408
02:16:52,780 --> 02:16:54,130
rate again somewhere between the

3409
02:16:54,130 --> 02:16:56,820
long-term rental rate and the

3410
02:16:56,820 --> 02:16:58,517
residential rate to provide some

3411
02:16:58,517 --> 02:16:59,919
tax relief to these folks

3412
02:16:59,919 --> 02:17:03,519
because it is also serving as

3413
02:17:03,957 --> 02:17:05,958
their primary residence. Only

3414
02:17:05,958 --> 02:17:07,600
people that use it as their

3415
02:17:07,600 --> 02:17:08,961
primary residence would be able

3416
02:17:08,961 --> 02:17:10,963
to take advantage of that

3417
02:17:10,963 --> 02:17:13,363
particular property tax class.

3418
02:17:14,334 --> 02:17:18,534
I do have an amendment based on

3419
02:17:22,375 --> 02:17:23,900
comments from council member

3420
02:17:23,900 --> 02:17:25,900
hustace about potentially

3421
02:17:25,678 --> 02:17:27,213
wanting to remove the relief

3422
02:17:27,213 --> 02:17:29,613
from liability during the

3423
02:17:30,116 --> 02:17:33,116
rollback from the amnesty period

3424
02:17:47,299 --> 02:17:48,340
and can put that forward for

3425
02:17:48,340 --> 02:17:48,735
discussion. Before I do that, I

3426
02:17:48,735 --> 02:17:49,635
want to see if there are any

3427
02:17:49,635 --> 02:17:53,235
questions from this body on the

3428
02:17:53,439 --> 02:17:56,709
bill or the real property tax

3429
02:17:56,709 --> 02:17:58,709
demonstration document.

3430
02:18:00,846 --> 02:18:03,246
>> council member jenn kagiwada:

3431
02:18:03,583 --> 02:18:04,550
thank you, chair.

3432
02:18:04,550 --> 02:18:04,917
-h tax class

3433
02:18:04,917 --> 02:18:06,917
currently?

3434
02:18:07,419 --> 02:18:11,190
>> I can answer that. This is

3435
02:18:11,924 --> 02:18:13,960
based on the green would be the

3436
02:18:13,960 --> 02:18:16,162
homeowners tax class, so that

3437
02:18:16,162 --> 02:18:19,162
rate, and the calculated tax

3438
02:18:19,165 --> 02:18:22,765
with the hosted is there would

3439
02:18:25,137 --> 02:18:28,137
be the residential current rate.

3440
02:18:30,139 --> 02:18:30,392
>>tier one residential. You

3441
02:18:30,392 --> 02:18:31,210
don't have a projection on if

3442
02:18:31,210 --> 02:18:34,810
you were to establish this tax

3443
02:18:36,349 --> 02:18:38,217
class nd locate the tax amount

3444
02:18:38,217 --> 02:18:41,217
as you proposed between the

3445
02:18:41,287 --> 02:18:43,222
long-term rental and would you

3446
02:18:43,222 --> 02:18:46,222
say between he long-term rental

3447
02:18:47,260 --> 02:18:47,526
and the residential tax class

3448
02:18:47,526 --> 02:18:49,526
one?

3449
02:18:50,329 --> 02:18:52,331
>> no, and the reason for that

3450
02:18:52,331 --> 02:18:55,334
is really this graphic was meant

3451
02:18:55,334 --> 02:18:57,703
to address the impact for the 3%

3452
02:18:57,703 --> 02:19:01,303
cap more than anything else. So

3453
02:19:01,307 --> 02:19:04,307
you would just calculate back

3454
02:19:04,443 --> 02:19:08,430
from the land value to the

3455
02:19:10,649 --> 02:19:11,383
assessed value and apply the

3456
02:19:11,383 --> 02:19:11,716
different rate. That's how you

3457
02:19:11,716 --> 02:19:13,716
would go

3458
02:19:14,353 --> 02:19:16,355
would solve for that. It will

3459
02:19:16,355 --> 02:19:17,223
bring it down some but not

3460
02:19:17,223 --> 02:19:18,390
significantly because the impact

3461
02:19:18,390 --> 02:19:20,390
is 3%.

3462
02:19:20,593 --> 02:19:22,270
>>that was my main point with

3463
02:19:22,270 --> 02:19:25,627
these questions is even if we

3464
02:19:30,201 --> 02:19:30,870
are to create a new tax class

3465
02:19:30,870 --> 02:19:32,404
for this group, we probably

3466
02:19:32,404 --> 02:19:34,804
wouldn't bring it down

3467
02:19:35,407 --> 02:19:37,807
significantly from that blue

3468
02:19:48,487 --> 02:19:50,456
trajectory if we remove the 3%

3469
02:19:50,456 --> 02:19:54,526
cap. Okay. Yeah, I would like to

3470
02:19:54,526 --> 02:19:56,729
see some of those numbers. Maybe

3471
02:19:56,729 --> 02:19:58,430
I will try to calculate myself

3472
02:19:58,430 --> 02:20:00,433
to see what we can do with some

3473
02:20:00,433 --> 02:20:04,330
of those numbers there and see

3474
02:20:05,137 --> 02:20:06,400
this could be very impactful to

3475
02:20:06,400 --> 02:20:06,605
people.

3476
02:20:06,605 --> 02:20:08,605
>> council member matt

3477
02:20:15,547 --> 02:20:16,514
kanealii-kleinfelder: to the

3478
02:20:16,514 --> 02:20:17,449
maker

3479
02:20:17,449 --> 02:20:18,500
maker, and the tax, amazing

3480
02:20:18,500 --> 02:20:18,784
people over there. When

3481
02:20:18,784 --> 02:20:21,184
potential homeowners enter into

3482
02:20:22,555 --> 02:20:26,155
this new tax category, do e

3483
02:20:35,634 --> 02:20:37,634
reassess them

3484
02:20:39,897 --> 02:20:40,572
that question for me is really

3485
02:20:40,572 --> 02:20:41,706
if we reassess, they are going

3486
02:20:41,706 --> 02:20:42,541
to spike one time on the way

3487
02:20:42,541 --> 02:20:44,941
into the program, yeah?

3488
02:20:49,548 --> 02:20:50,952
>> correct. That's assuming if

3489
02:20:50,952 --> 02:20:51,200
they are in the homeowner

3490
02:20:51,200 --> 02:20:52,784
exemption class now then when

3491
02:20:52,784 --> 02:20:54,686
they enroll, they are going into

3492
02:20:54,686 --> 02:20:56,622
this new program. But let's say

3493
02:20:56,622 --> 02:20:59,558
the program doesn't get created,

3494
02:20:59,558 --> 02:21:01,627
they would go into their default

3495
02:21:01,627 --> 02:21:04,270
tax class whether that's

3496
02:21:04,663 --> 02:21:07,630
residential, the agriculture or

3497
02:21:07,399 --> 02:21:09,799
apartment class fits a

3498
02:21:10,636 --> 02:21:11,360
condominium. So they would go up

3499
02:21:11,360 --> 02:21:12,671
regardless.

3500
02:21:12,671 --> 02:21:14,739
>>so no matter what. What I'm

3501
02:21:14,739 --> 02:21:16,708
looking at this map, the

3502
02:21:16,708 --> 02:21:18,677
homeowner assessment, does it

3503
02:21:18,677 --> 02:21:20,679
take into account when they roll

3504
02:21:20,679 --> 02:21:22,781
into a new program that's being

3505
02:21:22,781 --> 02:21:25,781
proposed and host is there

3506
02:21:26,952 --> 02:21:28,220
assessed market value versus the

3507
02:21:28,220 --> 02:21:29,788
3% cap assessment. Hen they

3508
02:21:29,788 --> 02:21:32,691
roll into the new program, we

3509
02:21:32,691 --> 02:21:34,126
are going to reassess them.

3510
02:21:34,126 --> 02:21:36,295
>>technically every year we

3511
02:21:36,295 --> 02:21:37,896
provide a market value anyway.

3512
02:21:37,896 --> 02:21:40,766
What they lose is that

3513
02:21:40,766 --> 02:21:42,468
assessment cap. So their

3514
02:21:42,468 --> 02:21:43,669
assessed value becomes the

3515
02:21:43,669 --> 02:21:45,669
market value.

3516
02:21:46,104 --> 02:21:48,708
>>it's not like a sale. Your

3517
02:21:48,708 --> 02:21:50,542
home is reassessed at the

3518
02:21:50,542 --> 02:21:51,844
current market value.

3519
02:21:51,844 --> 02:21:53,279
>>it's not like that.

3520
02:21:53,279 --> 02:21:56,279
>>there is no reassessment of

3521
02:21:56,549 --> 02:21:57,249
the current market value.

3522
02:21:57,249 --> 02:21:59,249
>>correct.

3523
02:22:04,223 --> 02:22:04,790
>>you are with the existing

3524
02:22:04,790 --> 02:22:06,790
homeowner.

3525
02:22:11,960 --> 02:22:14,960
>>they lose the assessment cap

3526
02:22:16,902 --> 02:22:20,502
that goes up every year. They

3527
02:22:20,873 --> 02:22:23,750
would lose that. The only cap is

3528
02:22:23,750 --> 02:22:24,844
the homeowners tax class and the

3529
02:22:24,844 --> 02:22:26,844
affordable rental.

3530
02:22:26,878 --> 02:22:27,946
>>okay, so there is no, there

3531
02:22:27,946 --> 02:22:29,946
wouldn't be an

3532
02:22:30,583 --> 02:22:32,583
spike in their

3533
02:22:36,222 --> 02:22:36,707
valuation from moving from class

3534
02:22:36,707 --> 02:22:37,322
to class?

3535
02:22:37,322 --> 02:22:38,560
>> technically, they lose their

3536
02:22:38,560 --> 02:22:39,624
assessed value. So their spike

3537
02:22:39,624 --> 02:22:42,494
does go up to market. But the

3538
02:22:42,494 --> 02:22:44,630
market doesn't change. The

3539
02:22:44,630 --> 02:22:47,320
market is always the same and we

3540
02:22:47,320 --> 02:22:49,340
kept it artificially low due to

3541
02:22:49,340 --> 02:22:51,700
the assessment cap. Their

3542
02:22:51,700 --> 02:22:53,138
taxable value ends up being

3543
02:22:53,138 --> 02:22:55,107
less. The testifier earlier was

3544
02:22:55,107 --> 02:22:57,943
right, she lost her assessment

3545
02:22:57,943 --> 02:22:59,912
cap which increased her taxable

3546
02:22:59,912 --> 02:23:00,946
value.

3547
02:23:00,946 --> 02:23:01,947
>>immediately.

3548
02:23:01,947 --> 02:23:03,983
>>immediately. And per the

3549
02:23:03,983 --> 02:23:06,840
code, e can do current year

3550
02:23:06,840 --> 02:23:08,454
plus two years back if we find

3551
02:23:08,454 --> 02:23:11,454
reviews that shows they were

3552
02:23:11,623 --> 02:23:15,194
doing hosted rental or any type

3553
02:23:15,194 --> 02:23:17,594
of rental activity within 180

3554
02:23:17,997 --> 02:23:19,997
calendar days.

3555
02:23:20,999 --> 02:23:24,350
>>okay, so do you have this

3556
02:23:24,350 --> 02:23:26,500
form, this communication 960.5

3557
02:23:26,500 --> 02:23:28,405
in front of us.

3558
02:23:28,774 --> 02:23:32,178
>>yes, kit a created it for

3559
02:23:32,178 --> 02:23:34,178
council member kimball.

3560
02:23:35,470 --> 02:23:38,647
>>so, what I said just now,

3561
02:23:42,622 --> 02:23:46,222
sorry, my brain is not, from

3562
02:23:51,530 --> 02:23:52,564
what I said just now -- does

3563
02:23:52,564 --> 02:23:52,931
that link.

3564
02:23:52,931 --> 02:23:54,931
>>academy

3565
02:23:56,635 --> 02:23:57,603
>>cada joseph. What you said

3566
02:23:57,603 --> 02:23:59,504
that is what is provided. That

3567
02:23:59,504 --> 02:24:01,173
bump is what is here at the end

3568
02:24:01,173 --> 02:24:04,243
of the raph. So instead of

3569
02:24:04,243 --> 02:24:06,440
being assessed at a lower value

3570
02:24:06,440 --> 02:24:07,680
because of that 3% cap, that

3571
02:24:07,680 --> 02:24:11,183
property is going to bounce up

3572
02:24:11,183 --> 02:24:13,418
to arket and be taxed at a

3573
02:24:13,418 --> 02:24:16,418
higher level because of the

3574
02:24:17,389 --> 02:24:18,157
value that's being taxed is

3575
02:24:18,157 --> 02:24:20,157
greater.

3576
02:24:22,228 --> 02:24:25,828
>>I would ask them. The graph

3577
02:24:27,566 --> 02:24:30,566
shows in 2017, ending in two

3578
02:24:31,170 --> 02:24:33,572
very distinct values to 2026. I

3579
02:24:33,572 --> 02:24:35,640
guess what I'm getting as is

3580
02:24:35,640 --> 02:24:38,910
there a point when they come in

3581
02:24:38,910 --> 02:24:40,512
and rollover in the new tax

3582
02:24:40,512 --> 02:24:42,280
category. Is there going to be a

3583
02:24:42,280 --> 02:24:44,680
spike associated with that

3584
02:24:53,526 --> 02:24:54,427
rollover with this graph.

3585
02:24:54,427 --> 02:24:55,940
>>

3586
02:24:55,940 --> 02:24:56,429
>>council member heather l.

3587
02:24:56,429 --> 02:24:57,863
Kimball: when somebody is in a

3588
02:24:57,863 --> 02:25:00,263
homeowner tax class and

3589
02:25:00,366 --> 02:25:01,533
identified by self reporting or

3590
02:25:01,533 --> 02:25:04,533
neighbor reporting them or now

3591
02:25:07,773 --> 02:25:08,507
through the registration process

3592
02:25:08,507 --> 02:25:12,107
that they are doing a vacation

3593
02:25:13,879 --> 02:25:15,448
rental, they lose that 3% cap

3594
02:25:15,448 --> 02:25:17,382
and at the end of the year,

3595
02:25:17,382 --> 02:25:18,383
that's when it goes to the

3596
02:25:18,383 --> 02:25:20,519
market rate. When that happens

3597
02:25:20,519 --> 02:25:23,519
is when their identified as

3598
02:25:27,993 --> 02:25:30,395
having a short-term rental or

3599
02:25:30,395 --> 02:25:32,395
hosted rental.

3600
02:25:32,465 --> 02:25:37,265
>>if I can clarify, we do it for

3601
02:25:40,406 --> 02:25:41,407
the current year so we don't go

3602
02:25:41,407 --> 02:25:43,407
forward.

3603
02:25:43,443 --> 02:25:45,444
>>if they are on the green line

3604
02:25:45,444 --> 02:25:47,547
and they choose to go to the

3605
02:25:47,547 --> 02:25:49,482
next line for creating do they

3606
02:25:49,482 --> 02:25:50,820
lose their 3%.

3607
02:25:50,820 --> 02:25:50,750
>> council member matt

3608
02:25:50,750 --> 02:25:52,485
kanealii-kleinfelder: I'm

3609
02:25:52,485 --> 02:25:56,850
looking at this bill because it

3610
02:25:57,555 --> 02:25:59,955
creates a new bed-and-breakfast

3611
02:26:01,527 --> 02:26:04,527
tax category, not on bill 173?

3612
02:26:08,901 --> 02:26:11,103
Thank you. I thought we were. So

3613
02:26:11,103 --> 02:26:13,406
we create a new tax class and

3614
02:26:13,406 --> 02:26:15,406
someone's homeowner residential

3615
02:26:15,608 --> 02:26:17,542
wherever they maybe to a new tax

3616
02:26:17,542 --> 02:26:17,944
class, is there a change in

3617
02:26:17,944 --> 02:26:19,611
assessment.

3618
02:26:19,611 --> 02:26:22,615
>>I see where you are going now.

3619
02:26:22,615 --> 02:26:24,583
That would be assuming that we

3620
02:26:24,583 --> 02:26:25,485
missed them in the past because

3621
02:26:25,485 --> 02:26:27,853
technically right now, if you

3622
02:26:27,853 --> 02:26:30,556
are doing a hosted short-term

3623
02:26:30,556 --> 02:26:33,993
rental, you hould not be in the

3624
02:26:33,993 --> 02:26:36,393
homeowner tax class. Correct.

3625
02:26:36,628 --> 02:26:39,131
>>it is happening. Maybe it is

3626
02:26:39,131 --> 02:26:41,131
happening somewhere.

3627
02:26:41,600 --> 02:26:43,435
>>yeah. So when this gets

3628
02:26:43,435 --> 02:26:44,937
created, it would be for next

3629
02:26:44,937 --> 02:26:47,706
year. That would be on a go

3630
02:26:47,706 --> 02:26:48,774
forward for the next year for

3631
02:26:48,774 --> 02:26:51,611
the tax class itself because

3632
02:26:51,611 --> 02:26:52,878
it's not technically a tax class

3633
02:26:52,878 --> 02:26:55,681
for this current taxing period.

3634
02:26:55,681 --> 02:26:58,651
But we would pull them out of

3635
02:26:58,651 --> 02:27:00,552
the homeowner tax class now and

3636
02:27:00,552 --> 02:27:02,488
adjust currently not complying

3637
02:27:02,488 --> 02:27:05,488
with the homeowner program when

3638
02:27:05,691 --> 02:27:08,728
they register now the way it is.

3639
02:27:08,728 --> 02:27:11,728
Because currently we have no

3640
02:27:17,369 --> 02:27:19,369
amnesty that's approved.

3641
02:27:21,758 --> 02:27:22,440
>>okay. That was my only

3642
02:27:22,440 --> 02:27:22,311
question. Sorry. Roundabout way

3643
02:27:22,311 --> 02:27:22,567
of getting there but we got

3644
02:27:22,567 --> 02:27:22,819
there. Thank you.

3645
02:27:22,819 --> 02:27:23,676
>>chair holeka goro inaba:

3646
02:27:23,676 --> 02:27:25,745
other questions on the bill

3647
02:27:25,745 --> 02:27:28,745
before we get into amendments?

3648
02:27:31,384 --> 02:27:31,886
seeing none, council member

3649
02:27:31,886 --> 02:27:32,418
kimball.

3650
02:27:32,418 --> 02:27:33,152
>>council member heather l.

3651
02:27:33,152 --> 02:27:33,919
Kimball: I did a quick back of

3652
02:27:33,919 --> 02:27:36,823
the envelope. If we were to

3653
02:27:36,823 --> 02:27:38,658
assume this new tax class would

3654
02:27:38,658 --> 02:27:41,600
be 7%, then we are looking at

3655
02:27:41,600 --> 02:27:43,963
annual tax, property taxes of

3656
02:27:43,963 --> 02:27:46,963
about $6,000. That would be some

3657
02:27:48,801 --> 02:27:50,502
savings based on using the

3658
02:27:50,502 --> 02:27:52,902
residential tier 1 class for

3659
02:27:53,806 --> 02:27:56,410
this particular property as an

3660
02:27:56,410 --> 02:27:58,844
example. And then just to

3661
02:27:58,844 --> 02:28:00,813
reiterate before we get to the

3662
02:28:00,813 --> 02:28:03,813
amendment, there is two pieces

3663
02:28:03,849 --> 02:28:05,651
of this, one is this new tax

3664
02:28:05,651 --> 02:28:08,821
class rate, but then there is

3665
02:28:08,821 --> 02:28:10,220
also this amnesty period.

3666
02:28:10,220 --> 02:28:11,924
Again, there are a lot of folks

3667
02:28:11,924 --> 02:28:13,859
that perhaps unknowingly,

3668
02:28:13,859 --> 02:28:15,561
although the department does do

3669
02:28:15,561 --> 02:28:17,830
a lot to try to make sure people

3670
02:28:17,830 --> 02:28:21,330
are informed that there is this

3671
02:28:21,330 --> 02:28:22,168
tax implication of operating a

3672
02:28:22,168 --> 02:28:24,568
short-term rental, there are

3673
02:28:24,904 --> 02:28:26,138
folks that don't know and the

3674
02:28:26,138 --> 02:28:28,400
amnesty period gives them an

3675
02:28:28,400 --> 02:28:29,509
opportunity to say, hey, I don't

3676
02:28:29,509 --> 02:28:31,910
want to do this right now and

3677
02:28:31,910 --> 02:28:33,913
step back from it before it

3678
02:28:33,913 --> 02:28:37,513
triggers that spike and the loss

3679
02:28:37,951 --> 02:28:41,870
of the 3%. They can move into a

3680
02:28:41,870 --> 02:28:42,654
long-term rental and go forward.

3681
02:28:42,654 --> 02:28:44,123
I will leave it there. Council

3682
02:28:44,123 --> 02:28:45,925
member hustace has a question

3683
02:28:45,925 --> 02:28:46,325
before I introduce the

3684
02:28:46,325 --> 02:28:47,590
amendment.

3685
02:28:47,590 --> 02:28:49,459
>> council member james hustace:

3686
02:28:52,865 --> 02:28:54,990
thanks, chair. We remove the 3%

3687
02:28:54,990 --> 02:28:56,499
primarily because the system

3688
02:28:57,203 --> 02:28:58,771
that we have in lace does not

3689
02:28:58,771 --> 02:29:01,171
allow for additional calculation

3690
02:29:06,979 --> 02:29:07,471
in there, is that correct?

3691
02:29:07,471 --> 02:29:09,471
Administrator?

3692
02:29:10,816 --> 02:29:13,152
>> that's correct. Cada spoke

3693
02:29:13,152 --> 02:29:14,687
to the administrator and we

3694
02:29:14,687 --> 02:29:17,560
asked for update and have not

3695
02:29:17,560 --> 02:29:17,356
had a response if it could be

3696
02:29:17,356 --> 02:29:18,457
done.

3697
02:29:18,457 --> 02:29:20,293
>>the testifier also mentioned

3698
02:29:20,293 --> 02:29:23,229
that piece so that they are

3699
02:29:23,229 --> 02:29:25,980
looking for that, but this is

3700
02:29:25,980 --> 02:29:26,650
something we are in capable of

3701
02:29:26,650 --> 02:29:28,100
doing at the moment.

3702
02:29:28,100 --> 02:29:31,100
>>correct. I heard the testifier

3703
02:29:35,107 --> 02:29:38,107
they were asking for that.

3704
02:29:42,114 --> 02:29:42,815
>>yeah.

3705
02:29:42,815 --> 02:29:43,483
>>at what point do we add new

3706
02:29:43,483 --> 02:29:45,551
tax classes that break inure

3707
02:29:45,551 --> 02:29:45,885
your new

3708
02:29:45,885 --> 02:29:47,885
system.

3709
02:29:48,421 --> 02:29:50,723
>>you are breaking my staff.

3710
02:29:50,723 --> 02:29:52,191
>>as far as that capacity the

3711
02:29:52,191 --> 02:29:54,591
ability to have different

3712
02:29:55,195 --> 02:29:56,195
metrics there. I'm curious in

3713
02:29:56,195 --> 02:29:58,195
that.

3714
02:29:58,631 --> 02:30:01,310
>>for the tax classifications,

3715
02:30:01,301 --> 02:30:04,901
we can actually more easily add

3716
02:30:10,309 --> 02:30:10,944
tax classifications. It's the

3717
02:30:10,944 --> 02:30:11,411
ifs thens exceptions that

3718
02:30:11,411 --> 02:30:13,411
council added

3719
02:30:14,246 --> 02:30:17,246
s to it is what

3720
02:30:18,183 --> 02:30:21,153
affects the system for auditing

3721
02:30:21,153 --> 02:30:23,322
purposes. Adding the tax class

3722
02:30:23,322 --> 02:30:25,357
without a caveat is not a

3723
02:30:25,357 --> 02:30:27,427
problem. I'm not encouraging it.

3724
02:30:27,427 --> 02:30:29,261
That is possible. Other

3725
02:30:29,261 --> 02:30:31,264
counties, there is two that have

3726
02:30:31,264 --> 02:30:32,332
more than us currently.

3727
02:30:32,332 --> 02:30:32,764
>>two in the state that have 3

3728
02:30:32,764 --> 02:30:34,764
more than us?

3729
02:30:47,447 --> 02:30:49,447
>> correct.

3730
02:30:49,816 --> 02:30:52,318
>>council member you are where

3731
02:30:52,318 --> 02:30:55,918
this committee is as well. Where

3732
02:30:59,225 --> 02:30:59,859
you perceive this new tax class

3733
02:30:59,859 --> 02:31:00,125
should fall in that range?

3734
02:31:00,125 --> 02:31:00,793
>>

3735
02:31:00,793 --> 02:31:01,460
>>council member heather l.

3736
02:31:01,460 --> 02:31:03,362
Kimball: I think it's

3737
02:31:03,362 --> 02:31:05,464
appropriate somewhere in between

3738
02:31:05,464 --> 02:31:07,399
the long-term rental rate

3739
02:31:07,399 --> 02:31:09,535
because we do want to

3740
02:31:09,535 --> 02:31:11,935
incentivize that and the

3741
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:14,574
residential tiers. So seven 1/2,

3742
02:31:14,574 --> 02:31:15,441
eight percent, somewhere in that

3743
02:31:15,441 --> 02:31:18,441
range would be reasonable to

3744
02:31:22,715 --> 02:31:23,429
provide some relief to these

3745
02:31:23,429 --> 02:31:25,829
homeowners, but also, not

3746
02:31:26,753 --> 02:31:29,153
incentivize hosting rentals over

3747
02:31:29,622 --> 02:31:30,556
long-term and affordable

3748
02:31:30,556 --> 02:31:32,556
rentals.

3749
02:31:33,592 --> 02:31:36,729
>>a question to the body maybe.

3750
02:31:36,729 --> 02:31:38,665
Do we see that should have

3751
02:31:38,665 --> 02:31:40,500
greater relief than our

3752
02:31:40,500 --> 02:31:42,435
agricultural production and

3753
02:31:42,435 --> 02:31:43,569
maybe these are rhetorical

3754
02:31:43,569 --> 02:31:45,571
questions for the group, but in

3755
02:31:45,571 --> 02:31:47,173
terms of that range and that

3756
02:31:47,173 --> 02:31:49,573
range between the long-term

3757
02:31:50,577 --> 02:31:53,577
rental at 775 and 1110. Kind of

3758
02:31:53,746 --> 02:31:55,614
where that, or does it sit

3759
02:31:55,614 --> 02:31:58,184
closer to the commercial side in

3760
02:31:58,184 --> 02:31:59,819
terms of the output, generation,

3761
02:31:59,819 --> 02:32:02,219
impact on communication, just

3762
02:32:02,488 --> 02:32:05,488
something to think about for

3763
02:32:07,526 --> 02:32:10,396
sure, or should it sit as

3764
02:32:10,396 --> 02:32:11,764
commercial. I don't know. And

3765
02:32:11,764 --> 02:32:14,734
be one in the same necessarily

3766
02:32:14,734 --> 02:32:18,934
because of that type of use in

3767
02:32:20,739 --> 02:32:23,139
those spaces. It's questionable

3768
02:32:35,540 --> 02:32:37,323
about our preference for ben

3769
02:32:37,323 --> 02:32:37,657
find

3770
02:32:37,657 --> 02:32:38,391
--

3771
02:32:38,391 --> 02:32:39,125
bona fide agricultural use and

3772
02:32:39,125 --> 02:32:39,659
what it means for community and

3773
02:32:39,659 --> 02:32:40,793
house negative those

3774
02:32:40,793 --> 02:32:43,193
ing for aging kupuna.

3775
02:32:43,296 --> 02:32:43,996
Personally up more on the scale

3776
02:32:43,996 --> 02:32:45,698
a little bit in terms of the

3777
02:32:45,698 --> 02:32:48,980
impact on community, the

3778
02:32:50,603 --> 02:32:52,172
generation of taxes, revenue for

3779
02:32:52,172 --> 02:32:53,873
families. It catches a little

3780
02:32:53,873 --> 02:32:56,175
bit higher typically than I

3781
02:32:56,175 --> 02:32:57,810
would see on the agricultural

3782
02:32:57,810 --> 02:33:00,646
side. Just something to think

3783
02:33:00,646 --> 02:33:02,715
about as well. Putting it out

3784
02:33:02,715 --> 02:33:04,417
there for the group. Thank you.

kanealii-kleinfelder: thank

3788
02:33:09,723 --> 02:33:11,723
you.

3789
02:33:12,458 --> 02:33:15,458
>>the example that you gave

3790
02:33:16,796 --> 02:33:19,796
council member kimball, was what

3791
02:33:19,799 --> 02:33:22,799
someone would save by ntering

3792
02:33:25,705 --> 02:33:28,241
into the new tax class.

3793
02:33:28,241 --> 02:33:30,109
What I see this doing is

3794
02:33:30,109 --> 02:33:32,509
allowing people in the

3795
02:33:37,284 --> 02:33:37,951
homeowners class to enter into

3796
02:33:37,951 --> 02:33:39,951
the bed-and-breakfast home

3797
02:33:40,820 --> 02:33:42,788
class. I say that because, this

3798
02:33:42,788 --> 02:33:45,188
little section in the

3799
02:33:48,561 --> 02:33:49,195
bed-and-breakfast home class is

3800
02:33:49,195 --> 02:33:49,929
exclusively reserved for

3801
02:33:49,929 --> 02:33:52,966
properties that are used as the

3802
02:33:52,966 --> 02:33:55,366
owners principal residence and

3803
02:33:55,801 --> 02:33:59,401
registered as a tvr. This is

3804
02:34:02,842 --> 02:34:03,577
built for people in a homeowners

3805
02:34:03,577 --> 02:34:04,277
class who have the registered or

3806
02:34:04,277 --> 02:34:05,177
unregistered tvr, and we are

3807
02:34:05,177 --> 02:34:07,847
creating them a tax class. From

3808
02:34:07,847 --> 02:34:11,447
the example you gave was if

3809
02:34:12,852 --> 02:34:15,252
someone moved from residential,

3810
02:34:29,568 --> 02:34:30,303
or a higher dollar amount

3811
02:34:30,303 --> 02:34:31,370
assessed tax class, they would

3812
02:34:31,370 --> 02:34:31,738
save money on the way in. But a

3813
02:34:31,738 --> 02:34:32,439
homeowners exemption category

3814
02:34:32,439 --> 02:34:34,106
would have to be spiked with

3815
02:34:34,106 --> 02:34:35,909
current market value, and spike

3816
02:34:35,909 --> 02:34:40,109
MAY not be the word, just what

3817
02:34:43,982 --> 02:34:44,684
is going to happen in my mind.

3818
02:34:44,684 --> 02:34:45,351
Homeowners class is going up

3819
02:34:45,351 --> 02:34:46,118
when we reassess period, no

3820
02:34:46,118 --> 02:34:47,860
matter whachl is that

3821
02:34:47,860 --> 02:34:47,487
t. Is that a correct

3822
02:34:47,487 --> 02:34:48,955
assessment?

3823
02:34:48,955 --> 02:34:50,756
>> no.

3824
02:34:50,756 --> 02:34:54,356
>>I want to hear from the

3825
02:34:55,270 --> 02:34:56,496

>>lisa muira, real property tax

3828
02:34:57,964 --> 02:34:59,833
administrator: I think the graph

3829
02:34:59,833 --> 02:35:02,833
would show the homeowners tax

3830
02:35:02,869 --> 02:35:04,370
for many years and chose to do

3831
02:35:04,370 --> 02:35:06,472
hosted and how it would go up.

3832
02:35:06,472 --> 02:35:08,675
In one regard, you are right. It

3833
02:35:08,675 --> 02:35:11,750
would save individuals or

3834
02:35:11,878 --> 02:35:13,980
property owners oney that have

3835
02:35:13,980 --> 02:35:16,980
already been adjusted up to

3836
02:35:17,150 --> 02:35:20,750
their tax class. They could save

3837
02:35:20,987 --> 02:35:23,387
money by having this

3838
02:35:23,823 --> 02:35:25,240
bed-and-breakfast home tax class

3839
02:35:25,240 --> 02:35:26,192
because they are already at a 3

3840
02:35:26,192 --> 02:35:28,995
higher rate. I think that's what

3841
02:35:28,995 --> 02:35:31,630
you are trying to get at. But I

3842
02:35:31,630 --> 02:35:34,000
believe when cada did this, it

3843
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:35,535
was more ooking at how it looks

3844
02:35:35,535 --> 02:35:39,135
from the homeowner now and what

3845
02:35:40,173 --> 02:35:43,760
it would go up to whether it was

3846
02:35:43,760 --> 02:35:44,844
with the 3% cap or not. I think

3847
02:35:44,844 --> 02:35:46,120
when you did the 3% cap was

3848
02:35:46,120 --> 02:35:49,182
still in the original and we

3849
02:35:49,182 --> 02:35:51,840
didn't have the draft, maybe.

3850
02:35:51,840 --> 02:35:53,219
But I can see where you are

3851
02:35:53,219 --> 02:35:54,487
looking at it from the opposite

3852
02:35:54,487 --> 02:35:56,690
side from the individual that

3853
02:35:56,690 --> 02:35:59,125
came and testified, her taxes

3854
02:35:59,125 --> 02:36:00,627
could potentially come down

3855
02:36:00,627 --> 02:36:02,829
because she's already been

3856
02:36:02,829 --> 02:36:04,363
removed from the homeowner tax

3857
02:36:04,363 --> 02:36:06,363
class.

3858
02:36:07,133 --> 02:36:09,269
>>correct. And further, when we

3859
02:36:09,269 --> 02:36:11,304
create a tax class, the hope is

3860
02:36:11,304 --> 02:36:12,438
people jump in, correct?

3861
02:36:12,438 --> 02:36:16,380
>> I believe the intent of this

3862
02:36:17,176 --> 02:36:20,180
was to use it as a carat to

3863
02:36:20,180 --> 02:36:22,315
encourage people in hosted and

3864
02:36:22,315 --> 02:36:25,315
short-term to register with the

3865
02:36:32,158 --> 02:36:33,427
planning department.

3866
02:36:33,427 --> 02:36:35,629
>>correct. So in this case,

3867
02:36:35,629 --> 02:36:37,397
yes, if you were part of the

3868
02:36:37,397 --> 02:36:40,299
homeowners tax class, this would

3869
02:36:40,299 --> 02:36:42,469
come into effect if passed, then

3870
02:36:42,469 --> 02:36:44,237
they can jump in as a potential

3871
02:36:44,237 --> 02:36:46,239
savings depending on the rate

3872
02:36:46,239 --> 02:36:47,707
that we set for the

3873
02:36:47,707 --> 02:36:49,707
bed-and-breakfast home tax

3874
02:36:50,376 --> 02:36:52,278
category. But, if you are in

3875
02:36:52,278 --> 02:36:53,546
the homeowners exemption

3876
02:36:53,546 --> 02:36:55,482
category and were hoping you

3877
02:36:55,482 --> 02:36:58,417
were going to jump into the

3878
02:36:58,417 --> 02:37:00,417
bed-and-breakfast home category,

3879
02:37:11,331 --> 02:37:12,532
there is no savings. That's my

3880
02:37:12,532 --> 02:37:15,301
point. I don't want to

3881
02:37:15,301 --> 02:37:16,536
misrepresent what we are doing.

3882
02:37:16,536 --> 02:37:20,136
>>it would be cheaper if they

3883
02:37:20,606 --> 02:37:23,343
did it and we found out them

3884
02:37:23,343 --> 02:37:26,346
having to rollback and plus the

3885
02:37:26,346 --> 02:37:30,546
two years at the tax rate. It

3886
02:37:33,553 --> 02:37:35,788
really depends on the tax rate.

3887
02:37:35,788 --> 02:37:37,424
If it's more than ag, this

3888
02:37:37,424 --> 02:37:41,240
defaults and they could end up

3889
02:37:48,935 --> 02:37:50,935
paying more.

3890
02:37:51,337 --> 02:37:53,539
>>they can say they are not

3891
02:37:53,539 --> 02:37:54,541
going to do it anymore.

3892
02:37:54,541 --> 02:37:56,443
>>that's correct.

3893
02:37:56,443 --> 02:38:00,430
>>this is jumping in with the

3894
02:38:02,649 --> 02:38:03,182
new tax class or register, one

3895
02:38:03,182 --> 02:38:03,650
or the other. Yeah.

3896

>>coming clean.

3897
02:38:16,996 --> 02:38:18,632
>>yeah. Thank you.

3900
02:38:19,933 --> 02:38:21,933
villegas: something popped

3901
02:38:26,472 --> 02:38:27,174
forward to me and essentially

3902
02:38:27,174 --> 02:38:27,907
there is hardship. What just

3903
02:38:27,907 --> 02:38:29,509
popped into my mind is how much

3904
02:38:29,509 --> 02:38:31,578
money are they making? Right.

3905
02:38:31,578 --> 02:38:34,514
I always hear people saying I'm

3906
02:38:34,514 --> 02:38:36,616
paying my taxes, we already put

3907
02:38:36,616 --> 02:38:40,520
all this back in and I can't

3908
02:38:40,520 --> 02:38:42,689
help but think how many tens or

3909
02:38:42,689 --> 02:38:44,824
hundreds of thousands of dollars

3910
02:38:44,824 --> 02:38:47,593
are you making a year. And there

3911
02:38:47,593 --> 02:38:51,193
is o way to determine that

3912
02:38:53,567 --> 02:38:54,201
because everybody's short-term

3913
02:38:54,201 --> 02:38:56,201
vacation rentals charges

3914
02:38:56,602 --> 02:38:59,606
different if it's a home, a

3915
02:38:59,606 --> 02:39:02,576
room, whatnot. I guess that's

3916
02:39:02,576 --> 02:39:05,912
the part that gives me a little

3917
02:39:05,912 --> 02:39:08,912
less heartburn as we make

3918
02:39:14,621 --> 02:39:16,622
decisions about increased taxes.

3919
02:39:16,622 --> 02:39:18,592
For operating this kind of a

3920
02:39:18,592 --> 02:39:19,659
business in your home which is a

3921
02:39:19,659 --> 02:39:22,590
commercial enterprise out of

3922
02:39:22,329 --> 02:39:24,764
your home. Yeah. And the

3923
02:39:24,764 --> 02:39:27,764
overall kind of pervasive dance

3924
02:39:34,841 --> 02:39:39,641
that we do here at a time when

3925
02:39:42,749 --> 02:39:43,483
there is so many conversations

3926
02:39:43,483 --> 02:39:43,917
about housing crisis and how we

3927
02:39:43,917 --> 02:39:45,917
dissent advise

3928
02:39:47,754 --> 02:39:49,754
dissent

3929
02:39:50,557 --> 02:39:52,557
dissent

3930
02:40:04,771 --> 02:40:05,471
dis -- incentivize this. When

3931
02:40:05,471 --> 02:40:06,173
there are so many people that

3932
02:40:06,173 --> 02:40:08,800
need homes. And taxes that we

3933
02:40:08,800 --> 02:40:09,943
also take into consideration the

3934
02:40:09,943 --> 02:40:12,943
balance of it being hardship,

3935
02:40:12,946 --> 02:40:16,546
but it's a hardship on making

3936
02:40:18,385 --> 02:40:20,785
thousands nd thousands of

3937
02:40:20,988 --> 02:40:23,923
dollars. There are those that

3938
02:40:23,923 --> 02:40:28,123
do it just to pay their mortgage

3939
02:40:30,163 --> 02:40:31,998
and those that accumulate

3940
02:40:31,998 --> 02:40:33,934
wealth. We are in a capitalist

3941
02:40:33,934 --> 02:40:36,170
country but where is the balance

3942
02:40:36,170 --> 02:40:38,380
for the greater good. Just

3943
02:40:38,380 --> 02:40:39,840
thoughts bouncing around my

3944
02:40:39,840 --> 02:40:40,574
head. I yield.

3945
02:40:40,574 --> 02:40:42,409
>> council member jenn kagiwada:

3946
02:40:42,409 --> 02:40:44,811
just quick follow-up on the

3947
02:40:44,811 --> 02:40:45,946
back of the envelope

3948
02:40:45,946 --> 02:40:48,946
calculation. You said you do

3949
02:40:50,550 --> 02:40:54,150
that based on a $7. 7 would be

3950
02:40:55,289 --> 02:40:56,289
lower than the current long-term

3951
02:40:56,289 --> 02:40:58,289
rental rate.

3952
02:40:58,458 --> 02:41:03,258
>>so I just want to make sure if

3953
02:41:05,999 --> 02:41:06,733
we are putting information out

3954
02:41:06,733 --> 02:41:07,468
there, that would not probably

3955
02:41:07,468 --> 02:41:09,102
be where we would want to go. We

3956
02:41:09,102 --> 02:41:09,870
would want to go more like nine

3957
02:41:09,870 --> 02:41:11,805
or high eight. Something like

3958
02:41:11,805 --> 02:41:13,439
that. I don't know if you can

3959
02:41:13,439 --> 02:41:14,174
quickly do that calculation.

3960
02:41:14,174 --> 02:41:16,143
>>chair holeka goro inaba: I

3961
02:41:16,143 --> 02:41:17,610
think that's going outside the

3962
02:41:17,610 --> 02:41:19,278
scope of what we are trying to

3963
02:41:19,278 --> 02:41:22,878
do. We are not setting rates.

3964
02:41:26,386 --> 02:41:27,120
She said 7% which I think was a

3965
02:41:27,120 --> 02:41:27,854
mistake statement. She meant 7

3966
02:41:27,854 --> 02:41:28,188
$7

3967
02:41:28,188 --> 02:41:30,188
earlier.

3968
02:41:31,230 --> 02:41:32,258
>>understood. I think it would

3969
02:41:32,258 --> 02:41:34,261
be very helpful to see. We have

3970
02:41:34,261 --> 02:41:38,980
this graph in front of us that

3971
02:41:38,980 --> 02:41:39,366
makes it look like people in the

3972
02:41:39,366 --> 02:41:42,366
homeowner class who are renting

3973
02:41:42,702 --> 02:41:46,902
a room in their house would go

3974
02:41:46,973 --> 02:41:48,374
to astronomical amount. But

3975
02:41:48,374 --> 02:41:50,176
with your proposed additional

3976
02:41:50,176 --> 02:41:52,278
tax class, we have the ability

3977
02:41:52,278 --> 02:41:55,115
to bring that down to something

3978
02:41:55,115 --> 02:41:58,715
more reasonable. I guess we just

3979
02:42:00,487 --> 02:42:01,421
don't see that in the graph.

3980
02:42:01,421 --> 02:42:04,421
Anyway. Thank you. I'm upport

3981
02:42:08,328 --> 02:42:09,630
supportive of the new tax class.

3982
02:42:09,630 --> 02:42:09,729
>>chair holeka goro inaba: all

3983
02:42:09,729 --> 02:42:10,130
right. Let's jump into the

3984
02:42:10,130 --> 02:42:10,797
amendment.

Kimball: this amendment is

3997
02:42:29,282 --> 02:42:32,152
proposed in response to council

3998
02:42:32,152 --> 02:42:34,320
member hustace's comments that

3999
02:42:34,320 --> 02:42:35,555
he prefer not to see the

4000
02:42:35,555 --> 02:42:37,390
rollback. Using the

4001
02:42:37,390 --> 02:42:39,790
communication graphic to explain

4002
02:42:40,193 --> 02:42:43,193
how that would act as

4003
02:42:43,363 --> 02:42:45,363
administrator muira mentioned.

4004
02:42:46,299 --> 02:42:48,135
They do current year plus two in

4005
02:42:48,135 --> 02:42:51,135
terms of rollback taxes when

4006
02:42:55,141 --> 02:42:55,842
someone is found to be in

4007
02:42:55,842 --> 02:42:57,843
violation of the tax code. In

4008
02:42:57,843 --> 02:42:58,244
this particular example bert

4009
02:42:58,244 --> 02:43:00,244
where

4010
02:43:05,652 --> 02:43:07,221
the tax difference is $7,000,

4011
02:43:07,221 --> 02:43:10,221
it's almost $21,000 in fee in

4012
02:43:11,291 --> 02:43:12,392
terms of rollback in addition to

4013
02:43:12,392 --> 02:43:14,561
fees. They are liable for the

4014
02:43:14,561 --> 02:43:17,664
difference of what was paid in

4015
02:43:17,664 --> 02:43:21,368
the past and what was owed if

4016
02:43:21,368 --> 02:43:23,300
they had been operating the

4017
02:43:23,300 --> 02:43:26,300
vacation rental over the course

4018
02:43:33,279 --> 02:43:35,679

to amnesty or the rollback. It

4028
02:43:53,366 --> 02:43:54,601
really depends how long someone

4029
02:43:54,601 --> 02:43:56,669
has been on the homeowner tax

4030
02:43:56,669 --> 02:43:58,772
class and what the value of the

02:44:06,413 --> 02:44:09,316
this would mean to remove

4035
02:44:09,316 --> 02:44:12,316
rollback taxes but leave the

4036
02:44:16,657 --> 02:44:18,458
waving of penalties and

4037
02:44:18,458 --> 02:44:19,926
interest.

4038
02:44:19,926 --> 02:44:22,926
>>this is basic benefit of

4039
02:44:24,497 --> 02:44:27,497
homeowner or benefit of county?

02:44:30,337 --> 02:44:30,703

4043
02:44:32,773 --> 02:44:34,840
>>this is by removing the word

4044
02:44:34,840 --> 02:44:37,143
rollback taxes. So it wouldn't

4045

be waving rollback taxes

4046
02:44:38,211 --> 02:44:39,846
anymore. That's what this

4047
02:44:39,846 --> 02:44:40,914
amendment does.

>>okay.

02:44:51,425 --> 02:44:52,626

>>so that benefits the taxpayer.

>>so the rollback taxes is

4061
02:45:33,330 --> 02:45:34,935
substantial.

4062
02:45:34,935 --> 02:45:37,935
>>they can be very substantial.

4063
02:45:38,605 --> 02:45:40,674
It just depends what the value

4064
02:45:40,674 --> 02:45:42,109
is, how long is the homeowner,

4065
02:45:42,109 --> 02:45:44,678
one year or two years. If you

4066
02:45:44,678 --> 02:45:46,714
are in the example that cada

4067
02:45:46,714 --> 02:45:48,150
provided where you have I

4068
02:45:48,150 --> 02:45:50,784
believe this is a million dollar

4069
02:45:50,784 --> 02:45:52,586

4070

automatic ten percent on the

4071
02:45:56,723 --> 02:45:59,723
difference in tax. That would

4072
02:46:00,594 --> 02:46:00,861
be $674 for that one year plot

4073

4074
02:46:02,929 --> 02:46:05,329
-- plus the interest.

>>the rollback tax ould be

4076
02:46:09,770 --> 02:46:12,170
substantial. By removing for

4102
02:47:22,943 --> 02:47:26,543
happens is there is a family

4103
02:47:28,214 --> 02:47:28,949
living in a house for 20 years,

4104
02:47:28,949 --> 02:47:29,683
their kid goes off to college.

4105
02:47:29,683 --> 02:47:31,818
They rent a room for a weekend.

4106
02:47:31,818 --> 02:47:34,210

4110
02:47:41,195 --> 02:47:42,262
rentals, not making thousands of

4111
02:47:42,262 --> 02:47:44,865
dollars, but they didn't know

4112
02:47:44,865 --> 02:47:47,670
and they did it once and they

4113
02:47:47,670 --> 02:47:48,869
got caught and now liable for

4114
02:47:48,869 --> 02:47:51,710
tens of thousands of dollars. So

4115
02:47:51,710 --> 02:47:52,238
we would be through this by

4116
02:47:52,238 --> 02:47:54,638
keeping the rollback protecting

4117
02:47:56,430 --> 02:47:58,345
people that are making money

4118
02:47:58,345 --> 02:48:00,614
hand over best, but also,

4119
02:48:00,614 --> 02:48:02,916
protecting eople that just made

4120
02:48:02,916 --> 02:48:05,219
a one time choice and really got

4121
02:48:05,219 --> 02:48:06,953
seriously impacted. Personally,

4122
02:48:06,953 --> 02:48:09,556
I would rather just move right

4123
02:48:09,556 --> 02:48:13,930
now. This is a one time stamp in

4124
02:48:13,930 --> 02:48:15,428
time type thing. Provide that

4125
02:48:15,428 --> 02:48:17,970
relief to folks now realizing

4126
02:48:17,970 --> 02:48:18,298
they are not going to do it

4127
02:48:18,298 --> 02:48:21,298
again and moving forward, they

4128
02:48:25,405 --> 02:48:26,139
would have t

4129
02:48:26,139 --> 02:48:27,841
>>chair holeka goro inaba: so

4130
02:48:27,841 --> 02:48:31,441
you personally then would not be

4131
02:48:33,981 --> 02:48:34,715
supporting this amendment?

4132
02:48:34,715 --> 02:48:36,416
>> I brought this amendment at

favor, yourself and council

4158
02:49:16,220 --> 02:49:17,558
member hustace, 7 opposed. The

4159
02:49:17,558 --> 02:49:18,291
motion fails.

4160
02:49:18,291 --> 02:49:20,361
>>chair holeka goro inaba: all

4161
02:49:20,361 --> 02:49:23,961
right. Back to the main motion.

4162
02:49:24,398 --> 02:49:26,798
Any further discussion? Council

4163
02:49:36,343 --> 02:49:38,343
member kanealii-kleinfelder? I

4164
02:49:38,412 --> 02:49:41,882
will try not to combine but I

4165
02:49:41,882 --> 02:49:42,750
cannot help it. We discussed

4166
02:49:42,750 --> 02:49:44,151
bill 147 yesterday which creates

4167
02:49:44,151 --> 02:49:46,551
more bed-and-breakfast and the

4168
02:49:46,988 --> 02:49:47,555
ability to have more, how does

4169
02:49:47,555 --> 02:49:49,955
that play with this?

4170
02:49:55,329 --> 02:49:55,816
>> to be determined? I'm

4171
02:49:55,816 --> 02:49:57,816
concerned

4172
02:49:59,399 --> 02:50:01,399
concerned. Honestly, ill 173

4173
02:50:06,941 --> 02:50:09,941
and bill 175. All at different

4174
02:50:13,647 --> 02:50:14,281
stages at council, first

4175
02:50:14,281 --> 02:50:15,150
reading, second reading,

4176
02:50:15,150 --> 02:50:16,417
committees. They all touch. I'm

4177
02:50:16,417 --> 02:50:18,219
concerned about this as a whole.

4178
02:50:18,219 --> 02:50:19,753
Without being able to view these

4179
02:50:19,753 --> 02:50:22,523
at the same time, it's a little

4180
02:50:22,523 --> 02:50:23,223
bit worrisome. Do you share

4181
02:50:23,223 --> 02:50:25,623
those concerns at all?

4182
02:50:27,294 --> 02:50:29,563
>> I feel sorry for the planning

4183
02:50:29,563 --> 02:50:32,500
department, but I don't share

4184
02:50:32,500 --> 02:50:34,340
director darrow's concerns

4185
02:50:34,340 --> 02:50:36,203
because I'm more worried about

4186
02:50:36,203 --> 02:50:36,704
our department right now. It is

4187
02:50:36,704 --> 02:50:38,704
concerning

4188
02:50:39,506 --> 02:50:40,741
>> from our standpoint, because

4189
02:50:40,741 --> 02:50:42,420
there is so much confusion with

4190
02:50:42,420 --> 02:50:44,711
the public on what's going on.

4191
02:50:44,711 --> 02:50:45,813
The hosted rental registration

4192
02:50:45,813 --> 02:50:48,213
started yesterday. We have

4193
02:50:48,482 --> 02:50:50,784
already seen an application come

4194
02:50:50,784 --> 02:50:52,786
through that is in the homeowner

4195
02:50:52,786 --> 02:50:54,187
tax class. They will get

4196
02:50:54,187 --> 02:50:56,524
adjusted this year. We are

4197
02:50:56,524 --> 02:50:58,693
trying to figure out how this

4198
02:50:58,693 --> 02:50:59,627
pans out because we hate to do

4199
02:50:59,627 --> 02:51:02,627
something that you will come

4200
02:51:06,700 --> 02:51:07,435
back to say, don't worry, this

4201
02:51:07,435 --> 02:51:09,704
is approved and we have to undo

4202
02:51:09,704 --> 02:51:12,473
what we did. There is

4203
02:51:12,473 --> 02:51:14,574
uncertainty right now with the

4204
02:51:14,574 --> 02:51:16,844
department and the planning

4205
02:51:16,844 --> 02:51:18,946
department until this is figured

4206
02:51:18,946 --> 02:51:20,946
out and handled.

4207
02:51:21,480 --> 02:51:24,510
>>do you have this secret paper

4208
02:51:24,510 --> 02:51:27,220
on these random bills how they

4209
02:51:27,220 --> 02:51:30,820
are going to work with each

4210
02:51:34,829 --> 02:51:35,310
other, this big whiteboard like

4211
02:51:35,310 --> 02:51:36,697
josh green?

4212
02:51:36,697 --> 02:51:38,832
>> no, we are always amazed what

4213
02:51:38,832 --> 02:51:40,668
comes out of council sometimes

4214
02:51:40,668 --> 02:51:43,300
because it is a new idea and the

4215
02:51:43,300 --> 02:51:45,720
timing is incredible. We are

4216
02:51:45,720 --> 02:51:46,707
trying to keep things straight.

4217
02:51:46,707 --> 02:51:48,742
We have been doing a lot of

4218
02:51:48,742 --> 02:51:50,711
presentations to realtors on

4219
02:51:50,711 --> 02:51:52,680
this because they are equally

4220
02:51:52,680 --> 02:51:54,281
confused because there have been

4221
02:51:54,281 --> 02:51:55,750
so many changes in the last two

4222
02:51:55,750 --> 02:51:58,285
years. That's all I'm saying and

4223
02:51:58,285 --> 02:51:59,820
trying our best to keep

4224
02:51:59,820 --> 02:52:01,755
everything straight. But I don't

4225
02:52:01,755 --> 02:52:04,225
know what you will propose in

4226
02:52:04,225 --> 02:52:06,625
the next two weeks.

4227
02:52:09,530 --> 02:52:12,767
>>but I'm reminding of last week

4228
02:52:12,767 --> 02:52:15,167
ed of last wek,

4229
02:52:15,770 --> 02:52:17,738
one of the writers, she handed

4230
02:52:17,738 --> 02:52:19,807
to me that things need to be

4231
02:52:19,807 --> 02:52:21,775
simple. It's almost codified

4232
02:52:21,775 --> 02:52:23,778
when we write legislation that

4233
02:52:23,778 --> 02:52:24,811
it needs to be simple,

4234
02:52:24,811 --> 02:52:27,211
understandable and clear. If

4235
02:52:27,314 --> 02:52:29,750
it's not, then we confuse,

4236
02:52:29,750 --> 02:52:31,986
public, ourselves, and you folks

4237
02:52:31,986 --> 02:52:34,755
and it gets confusing. Hat's

4238
02:52:34,755 --> 02:52:37,825
what I'm worried about ight now

4239
02:52:37,825 --> 02:52:39,293
in aving these bills at

4240
02:52:39,293 --> 02:52:42,293
different stages that touch each

4241
02:52:42,496 --> 02:52:45,496
other and concern the staff,

4242
02:52:45,833 --> 02:52:49,433
public and not clear and not

4243
02:52:51,438 --> 02:52:52,172
concise. I'm not trying to poke

4244
02:52:52,172 --> 02:52:52,907
at you, council member kimball.

4245
02:52:52,907 --> 02:52:55,309
I'm just trying to wrap my head

4246
02:52:55,309 --> 02:52:56,977
around is saying why

4247
02:52:56,977 --> 02:52:59,377
yes to this, no

4248
02:52:59,813 --> 02:53:03,351
to this, why to this will affect

4249
02:53:03,351 --> 02:53:05,486
that bill 147 without discussing

4250
02:53:05,486 --> 02:53:09,860
this. That's how I'm seeing it

4251
02:53:14,895 --> 02:53:15,563
right now. Thank you.

4252
02:53:15,563 --> 02:53:17,980
>>council member heather l.

4253
02:53:17,980 --> 02:53:17,998
Kimball: thank you. I know

4254
02:53:17,998 --> 02:53:20,968
council member won't have the

4255
02:53:20,968 --> 02:53:22,502
benefit of this history. But 121

4256
02:53:22,502 --> 02:53:24,338
was the bill that included all

4257
02:53:24,338 --> 02:53:26,240
the pieces and one piece of

4258
02:53:26,240 --> 02:53:29,240
legislation that we now have

4259
02:53:30,744 --> 02:53:32,312
addressed separately. So, 121

4260
02:53:32,312 --> 02:53:34,712
have the registration process,

4261
02:53:35,820 --> 02:53:36,283
the land use change, the amnesty

4262
02:53:36,283 --> 02:53:39,420
period of time and even the

4263
02:53:39,420 --> 02:53:41,121
visitor designation areas all in

4264
02:53:41,121 --> 02:53:42,957
one bill. And that became

4265
02:53:42,957 --> 02:53:44,957
exceedingly complicated, right?

4266
02:53:45,580 --> 02:53:48,620
That's why we stopped it. And

4267
02:53:48,620 --> 02:53:51,131
so, what has happened since is

4268
02:53:51,131 --> 02:53:53,330
that I have pulled apart those

4269
02:53:53,330 --> 02:53:55,350
different pieces into their

4270
02:53:55,350 --> 02:53:56,270
distinct functions. So pulled

4271
02:53:56,270 --> 02:53:58,670
out the realming administration

4272
02:54:02,576 --> 02:54:04,612
piece that is independent of

4273
02:54:04,612 --> 02:54:05,120
147, 175, 173. Then we have the

4274
02:54:05,120 --> 02:54:07,120
let us piece

4275
02:54:08,449 --> 02:54:10,500
land use piece that is 147,

4276
02:54:10,500 --> 02:54:13,500
independent from all the others.

4277
02:54:13,187 --> 02:54:17,387
Any of these bills can be passed

4278
02:54:31,372 --> 02:54:31,972
or not and not have any impact

4279
02:54:31,972 --> 02:54:32,707
on any piece around the

4280
02:54:32,707 --> 02:54:33,374
short-term vacation rentals. I

4281
02:54:33,374 --> 02:54:33,941
will acknowledge that it is

4282
02:54:33,941 --> 02:54:34,676
complicated but it is

4283
02:54:34,676 --> 02:54:35,409
necessarily so because there are

4284
02:54:35,409 --> 02:54:36,143
so many pieces interacting. We

4285
02:54:36,143 --> 02:54:38,112
have the registration, the tax

4286
02:54:38,112 --> 02:54:39,614
fees. Appreciating that it is

4287
02:54:39,614 --> 02:54:41,882
complex, but it is actually,

4288
02:54:41,882 --> 02:54:44,218
this is where I moved into

4289
02:54:44,218 --> 02:54:47,218
separate bills in response to

4290
02:54:48,723 --> 02:54:52,160
this confusion that it was over

4291
02:54:52,160 --> 02:54:54,620
121 which was an omnibus

4292
02:54:54,620 --> 02:54:56,620
approach.

4293
02:54:56,640 --> 02:54:57,165
>>chair holeka goro inaba: any

4294
02:54:57,165 --> 02:54:59,334
further discussion? Okay, I

4295
02:54:59,334 --> 02:55:01,870
will share my thoughts. I'm not

4296
02:55:01,870 --> 02:55:03,505
a fan of creating another tax

4297
02:55:03,505 --> 02:55:05,340
class right now especially

4298
02:55:05,340 --> 02:55:07,609
hearing some of the brief

4299
02:55:07,609 --> 02:55:10,609
discussion about where the rate

4300
02:55:11,412 --> 02:55:14,249
would land because I heard above

4301
02:55:14,249 --> 02:55:15,650
ag and in my mind, the benefit

4302
02:55:15,650 --> 02:55:18,486
here is for a homeowner who is

4303
02:55:18,486 --> 02:55:20,321
doing it on their property. I

4304
02:55:20,321 --> 02:55:21,589
would think that we would be

4305
02:55:21,589 --> 02:55:23,291
very close to the homeowner tax

4306
02:55:23,291 --> 02:55:26,291
class because they live there.

4307
02:55:30,965 --> 02:55:33,334
It's their primary residence.

4308
02:55:33,334 --> 02:55:34,469
So not too far off 575 which is

4309
02:55:34,469 --> 02:55:37,469
what we currently have and

4310
02:55:37,739 --> 02:55:40,341
hearing this and won't be a

4311
02:55:40,341 --> 02:55:42,410
discussion until next JUNE but

4312
02:55:42,410 --> 02:55:44,345
this warrants a discussion

4313
02:55:44,345 --> 02:55:46,380
perhaps via another bill on

4314
02:55:46,380 --> 02:55:47,150
whether we want to allow

4315
02:55:47,150 --> 02:55:49,150
bed-and-breakfast in the

4316
02:55:49,350 --> 02:55:51,352
homeowner tax class or not.

4317
02:55:51,352 --> 02:55:53,354
Again, I think there is a big

4318
02:55:53,354 --> 02:55:56,391
group of community who feel that

4319
02:55:56,391 --> 02:56:00,591
they should be able to to do

4320
02:56:01,930 --> 02:56:02,664
permitted activity per the

4321
02:56:02,664 --> 02:56:06,264
zoning code on the property that

4322
02:56:10,471 --> 02:56:10,955
they live on as their primary

4323
02:56:10,955 --> 02:56:12,955
residents

4324
02:56:13,700 --> 02:56:16,700
residence. I won't be supporting

4325
02:56:21,350 --> 02:56:22,500
this bill, but it has brought

4326
02:56:22,500 --> 02:56:23,384
