Aloha,

The town hall meeting we held on Wednesday covering the rail issue could be summed up in the words of a constituent who commented, "Numbers don't lie, people do." See the post report article HERE and presentation by Dr. Panos Prevedouros HERE. The informational packet I compiled and handed out at the meeting can be viewed HERE.

The town hall meeting video held at MA'O ORGANIC FARMS is now available for viewing HERE.

Our next town hall meeting will be July 12, 2011 at Makaha Elementary School from 6-9pm. HERE is the official flyer. We will discuss the one-step-up housing feature as is contained in my resolution 11-54 CD1 - HERE. The Nanakuli Neighborhood Board will also discuss this resolution at their meeting next week. HERE is a link to their June 21st agenda.

At the Ewa Neighborhood Board meeting earlier this month, a constituent requested older, established parks get their upgrades too and this issue will be discussed at out next Parks and Human Resources Committee meeting on June 21. HERE is the agenda.

The Nanakuli Neighborhood Board has asked we explore the idea of allowing kiosks to be stationed at nearby parks. HERE is the formal resolution. This matter will be taken up for action at the same committee meeting aforementioned above that is to be held on June 21. Please consider providing your testimony and comments in person or go online to submit by going HERE.
