Committee Reports

Land use and planning: Church sign design: A copy of the sign position written by Hari Ajmani and the sign committee was distributed and discussed.  The statement will be given to Pastor Fineberg, the Board of Variances and Appeals, the Planning Director, the Public Works Director, and Charmaine Tavares of the County Council Planning Committee.  A motion by Alan Kaufman with a second by Mitch Silver to accept the statement with minor changes to be made by President Krash to capture the essence of the discussion.  The motion passed.

Land use and planning: Pulehu Road improvements: There is currently $250,000 in the county budget to resurface the road and prepare it for flood control.  The flood control portion of the project is estimated to cost more than the budgeted amount.  If the project is to be effective more money needs to be allocated.
