Committee Reports

Land use and Planning

Sign ordinance: Gina Flammer and Hari Ajmani met with Barbara Long prior to the Board meeting to discuss the proposed ordinance and the general proliferation of signs not meeting county standards.  Mrs. Long lent the Board photographs of the many signs in Kula, some legal and some not.  She asked Hari and Gina to ask the Board if they would consider writing the County and asking them to actively enforce the current sign ordinance.  The Board discussed the matter and on a motion by John Wilson with a second by Verna Nahulu agreed to inform the director of planning of our concerns about the proliferation of signs and the lack of enforcement.  As for the new proposed ordinance the Hari and Gina will meet with Council member Mike Molina when his schedule is clear and before the ordinance is up for review again. 

MYFS Omaopio Campus: Gina Flammer reported that the state legislature has appropriated about $2 million for the campus in this year's budget.  On a motion by Dick Mayer with a second by Gina Flammer, the Board agreed to amend our position statement on the facility to include state and all other funding.  The statement requests the many steps be completed and issues be addressed before funding is appropriated and that at this time the Board does not oppose or support the project.    

New Business

Transportation:  Dick Mayer reported that the Mayor's committee on transportation report is due out next week and it breaks down the traffic problems by region.  It is to be a very comprehensive report.  Councilman Mike Molina's committee will be looking at the role the County Council can play.  There may be some overlap with the Mayor's recommendations.  Dick suggested waiting to see the report before suggestions for Upcountry are made.  Steve Sutrov suggested that in our comments (when we do them) that we stress the localization of the department that plans Maui roads.

April Board Meeting: Dick Mayer asked to have a MAUCA meeting in lieu of a KCA Board meeting in May.  He plans to invite developers to the meeting.  The Board agreed. 

Request for KCA support for Haleakala Park long range planning: County Council member Charmaine Tavares sent a letter requesting the Board's support in lobbying the legislature for long range planning for Haleakala Park.  John Wilson agreed to write the letter of support.

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 with a motion by Dick Mayer, seconded by Mitch Silver.
