Communications

 All communications were listed on the agenda distributed at the meeting.

Committee Reports

Water:  David Craddick and Warren Watanabe are optimistic that the $3 million for the upper Kula ag line will be released by the Governor.  The date will be extended for the work and federal matching funds until March 30th.

The construction will go to Kimo Dr. only.

Membership:  To date there are 122 paid, year 2000 members.

T-Shirts:  A new shipment of childrens and adult T-shirts have arrived at Morihara�s in time for Christmas.

Unfinished Business

Water Position:  There was no report available from the Water Committee, but President John Wilson drafted two positions based on earlier board comments and newsletter feedback. A motion was made by Alan Kaufman and seconded by Elliott Krash to adopt draft 3.  A motion to table this motion was made by Dick Mayer and seconded by Gina Flammer.  This motion carried.  Discussion:  Bottom paragraph of draft 3 a summary not included in resolution statement.  John McDonald asked for further discussion within the Water Committee before a motion is considered.  A resolution at the next BOD meeting is sought based on a presentation by the Water Committee with further work on the drafts.  Community planning should drive our position, not water meters.

Crater Road Position:  On a motion by Dick Mayer and a second by Erwin DePonte, KCA should not take a position on this issue as we have not received a clear position from the community.  Discussion: According to Councilmembers Kalani English and Charmaine Tavares if a Crater Rd. resident wanted 1/2 acre zoning for an ohana unit they would look favorably on it.  Motion carries.

Bike Signs on 377:  John Wilson has called the Dept. of Transportation  but they have not returned the call, so there is no further information at this time.

New Business

Committee Assignments:  Please let President Elect Elliott Krash know which committee you would like to be on for 2000.

General Meetings for 2000:  Tentative schedule; February 17th, (proposed, water update), May 18th, (proposed,

Civil Defense), August 24th (Election Forums), October 19th, (General Election Forum), November 16th, (Election of Officers).

Hawaiian Homelands:  Verna Nahulu brought copies of the Native Hawaiian Water Rights policy and plan, as well as a homestead map of the 30,207 acres in Maui.  On a motion by Alan Kaufman and a second by Elliott Krash, Verna Nahulu will be reimbursed for the printing.

Other:  Perhaps we should hold a logo design contest for the KCA.  Since our treasury is healthy maybe we should

spend some money on a Welcome to Kula sign.
