TESTIFIES ON BILL 31 BILL 32. NATDLY WASSON. >>Testifier: NATALIE IWASA. >>Testifier: THANK YOU CHAIR. NATALIE IWASA FOR THE RECORD. COUPLE COMMENTS. FIRST OF ALL, THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW CITY TO YOU CHARGE FEES FOR USE OR RENTAL OF BOTANICAL GARDENS. AND TO MAKE CERTAIN OTHER CHANGE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO PAY ENTRANCE FEE TO GET INTO OUR BOTANICAL GARDENS. I FEEL THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY TH THESE DAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOW, GET INTO OUR PUBLIC AREAS AND ENJOY THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER THEY HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET IN. SO JUST MAKE THAT COMMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>Chair Waters: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER TESTIFIERS ON BILL 32? BILL 33? NATALIE IWASA. >>Testifier: THANK YOU. NATALIE IWASA FOR THE RECORD. MIC IS KIND OF WEIRD. NOT STAYING IN PLACE. BILL 33, WOULD SET UP A SPECIAL FUND FOR PARKS MAINTENANCE RECREATION SERVICE AND WOULD BE REVOLVING FUND. I OPPOSE THIS. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT LAPSED FUNDING SCHEDULE THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER, BY CHAIR WATERS, CAN YOU SEE ALL OF THIS SPECIAL FUNDS THAT LAPSED LAST YEAR. THAT IS MONEY THAT WAS TIED UP AND NOT AVAILABLE FOR USE FOR OTHER THINGS. AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU FOLKS PUT OUT A SPECIAL FUND. IT ALSO REDUCES YOUR OWN FLEXIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO PUTTING OUR SERVICE IN THERE SORE PAYING FOR OTHER THINGS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT. TO THE CITY. SO I ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE THIS AND ASK YOU TO VOTE NO. >>Chair Waters: NG THANK YOU. >>Chair Waters: THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE IT TESTIFIER ON BILL 33? BILL 33. SEEING NONE. MEMBERS WE'RE IN DISCUSSION. COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIR. >>Vice Chair Tupola: APPRECIATE IT. I'M GOING TO DO MAKE KATY Y. CHEN ON ANY OF THE FIRST READING BILLS. >>Chair Waters: ALL OF THEM. >>Vice Chair Tupola: >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU. I'LL START WITH BILL 19. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE EMERGENCY AND SHOW GREAT TUTTED TOWARDS GINA THIELEN WORKED WITH ME ON THIS. IMPORTANT FOR ME THAT WE HAVE, SOME TYPE OF STEP OF TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. BECAUSE WE TALK A LOT ABOUT PERMIT TIMELINES. WHEN DID THEY GET IT, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE. BUT REALLY, WIRE NOT DONE WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS. UNTIL HUMAN BODIES ARE IN THE BUILDING. AND A LOT OF 250EU78TIMES ARE INSPECTORS TIMES HAVE LONG LISTS GOING THROUGH. BUILDINGS THAT SIT VACANT AND BECAUSE OF LACK OF CERTIFICATE OCCUPANCY, NO ONE CAN ENTER. SO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THE CASE WITH EVERY BUILDING BUT I DO THINK THAT THIS PROCESS WILL HELP US BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO SEEEL AFFORDABLE HOUSING GO UP AND PEOPLE LIVE IN IT. SO HOPEFULLY A WE MOVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS WORK WITH ALL THE INTERESTED PARTIES INCLUDING DEPARTMENT OF AT THAT MAKE SURE THIS IS SOMETHING TO CAN BE UP PLEMED AND THAT WORKS. IMPLEMENTED AND WORK. SECONDLY I WOULD LIKE MENTION ABOUT BILL 23. JUST INNER RAYS TO SOME OF THE CAP STALL PROJECTED I NO WE PUT SOME TOWARDSEL DRAINAGE AND OTHER THINGS. AND I WANTED TO MAKE THEY CAN EUR MENTION AND SHOUT OUT TO RESCUES BECAUSE THE TESTIFIER DID BRING OUT THINGS THAT SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN MY COMMUNITY, THAT IT HFD WAS THERE YESTERDAY WITH TWO PUMP. DFM WAS THEREEL TRUCK. D.O.T. BROUGHT OUT THREE A TRUCKS AND WE HAD FIVE PUMPS GOING. AND I WILL I I WILL I RODE RIGHT NOW AS FOUR PUMPING GOING AND DFM AND TRUMP P. PETROLEUM PUMP.NOT DONE PARTICUY ABLE TO RE-ENTER THEIR HOME. O DMPLE PUMP. LAOSLY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MENTION, DFM PUMP ABOUT THE PARKS PACKAGE. IEN R TRINI DUED HANDFUL OF BILL THAT IS RELATE TO PARKS. IP RO IP IIPIP INROW DIEWSESSED. WORKING WITH DIRECTOR THIELEN. WHICH COULD REALLY HELP DPR SUCCEED. WE WANT TO HELP THEM EXCEED. WHAT WAS MENTIONED BY BRIAN AS FAR ASKER, FARMER'S MARKETS, THREE THE LOT OF FARMER'S MARKETS AND FOOD IN OUR COMMUNITIES. REALLY ON THE SIT SIDE, WE CAN'T OFFER A LOT BUT WE DO HAVE PARKS. WE HAVE PARKING LOTS. WE HAVE OPEN SPACES. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO SOMETHING THAT HELPS TO REVITALIZE THE AREA. SECONDLY, ALSO, WITH WHAT WAS MENTIONED BY MISS IWASA, REASON WHY SPECIAL FUND WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS IS BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WANT TO SEE OUR PARKS IMPROVE. IN FACT WOULD PROBABLY GIVE IF THEY KNEW THE PARK BY THEIR HOUSE WOULD IMPROVE. BUT BECAUSE WE CYCLE ALL THE MONEY BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND, MANY TIMES PEOPLE ARE DISCOURAGED BECAUSE THEY THINK IF I DID, MIGHT NOT GO TO THE PARK THAT I REALLY WANT FIXED. SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT JUST HELP THE IS DEPARTMENT BUT HELP THE COMMUNITY. SO THAT WE HAVE STAYED CLEAN AND USABLE PARKS. HANDFUL OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE PUT IN THERE, JUST CULTURAL SITE, AND SOME OF THE PARKS DO HAVE CULTURAL SITES. WE WANT TO WORK WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS. SO THAT WE'RE DOING THE APPROPRIATE STEPS FORWARD. AND I LASTLY WANT TO THANK DEPARTMENT FOR ALL THEIR WORK WITH US ON THIS. HOPING THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A STEP FORWARD FOR THE DEPARTMENT. SEEN HUGE STRIDES AND IMPROVEMENT AND MSS AND IF WE ARE ABLE TO HELP THEM WITH SOME OF THEIR AUTHORITY AND EXECUTION OF FUNDING WE COULD SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR THE SUPPORT ON THESE BILLS. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Chair Waters: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER KIA'AINA. >>Councilmember Kia'aina: THANK YOU CHAIR. CAN YOU MUCH DM COMMENTS BILL 2526 REGARDING TAX RATES.

MEANS MORE HOUSING BUILT WITHOUT CHANGING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER OR BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS TO THE STREET. IMPORTANTEL CLEAR AND MORE PREDICTABLE. DELAYS LOWERS COST AND HELPS PROJECT MOVE FORWARD. BENEFIT RENTERS AND AN BUYERS. IMPORTANTLY, THIS BILL LIMITED. APPLIES OPEN TO AREAS ALREADY ZONED FOR APARTMENTS AND DOESN'T EXPAND DEVELOPMENT INTO NEW NEIGHBORHOODS. FOR THESE REASONS IT'S URGE YOUR SUPPORT. MAHALO. >>Chair Waters: THANK YOU. SO MUCH. MAUI MEDICALS ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE -- ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE TESTIFIER? SEEING NONE. NECK WE WILFORD REMOTE SUE I. ALOHA. THANK YOU FOR WAITING PASSIONATELY. >>Testifier: O WILLFRED. SPEE ON BILL 6. 2026. CD1. I SUPPORT THE BILL. SORRY. GOOD MORNING CHAIR WATERS. VICE CHAIR TUPOLA. I SUPPORT BILL B CONCERNS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANY MEANINGFUL AMOUNT OF HOUSING WILL BE BULL BY DEVELOPERS. I FEEL. I AM NOT SURE IF I'M TOO LATE ON THIS ALREADY. BECAUSE IT'S THIRD READING. I SAID THIS BEFORE. YOU MUST REMOVE AND THIS MIGHT BE WRONG AVENUE TO DO IT, ALL DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE SOLD FROM ORDINANCE 1810, CHAPTER 29, AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS. O ARE DESTINATION CONDOS SUBDIVISION LOTS, CLUSTERS AND HOUSING PROJECTS. I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF THIS ORDINANCE, WE DON'T SEE ANY CONDO PROJECTS BEING BUILT IN THE APARTMENT AREAS LIKE PUNCHBOWL. MAKIKI. MOILIILI, KAPAHULU. BUILDING ANY PROJECT EXCEPT BIG DEVELOPMENTS SUCH AS IN KAKAAKO AND KAPIOLANI, TOO RISKY TO DEVELOP. EVEN BIG DEVELOPMENTS I'M TOLD WERE ONLY ABLE TO SELL ONLY 5% TO 70% OF THEIR AVAILABLE AFFORDABLE UNITS AT A TIME OF COMPLETION OF THEIR PROJECTS. THEREFORE, CONCLUSION IS THAT THE BUYERS ARE NOT BUYING OR QUALIFYING FOR THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS. DEVELOPERS ARE TRYING TO HELP BUILD APARTMENT UNITS BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE NEEDED FOR HOUSING FOR ABOUT 60,000 UNITS. BY 2027. I'VE BEEN TOLD. YET WE ARE BURDENED BY THE CITY WITH THIS ONEROUS REGULATION. WE ARE NOT REQUESTING BIG PAYMENTS FROM THE CITY. FOR EACH UNIT THAT WE BUILD. LIKE BILL 7. THAT ARE GETTING PAID. ALSO, UHERO JUST PUT OUT ARTICLE YESTERDAY IS THAT SELLING MARKET UNITS IN NEW PROJECT EFFECTIVELY RELEASED FOR SALE CHEAPER AFFORDABLE CONDOS AND HOUSES. ANY WAY. SO IN EFFECT, WE DEVELOPERS ARE ALSO PRODUCING AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHEN WE BUILD AND SELL MARKET UNITS. SO O THERE'S NO NEED TO REQUIRE THIS ORDINANCE. EL UPON FOR THE NEW UNITS THAT WE BUILD AND SELL. AND I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT REAL QUICK ALREADY. I KNOW RUN OUT OF TIME. I WISH YOU WOULD YOU FOLKS PUTEL 4FAR ON TOOLS BECAUSE A28'S 9984EL PARCELS IRISH E'O I'VE BEEN TOLD. I'VE BEEN TOLD. A2'S, WHICH IS QUITE A BIG DIFFERENCE, I THINK FOUR TIMES. THE AMOUNT OF A 1, A3 AND AMX2 COMBINED. SO WHY ARE YOU FOLKS NOT GIVING THE A2'S, WHICH HAS A LOT OF LOTS TO GO TO DEVELOP. NO FOUR. THEN YOU'RE GETTING INCREASE YOUR AVAILABLE UNITS WHEN THEY BUILD. AND IN MY LAST THING, IS ANOTHER BIG RESTRICTION FOR BUILDING MORE APARTMENT UNITS IS THAT PARKING REQUIREMENTS. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT AMOUNT OF PARK. BUT IF THE PARKING SIDE AND SETBACK CAN BE LIKE BILL 7, WHERE PARKING CAN EMP ENCROACH SIDE OF YOUR ED YARDS HOUR PARK SMALL DEVELOPMENTS 5,000 SQUARE FEET PARCELS LIKE THAT. MORE PARKING ON SITE WOULD RELIEVE DEMAND FOR STREET PARK AND REDUCER DISPUTES BETWEEN NEIGHBORMY ARCHITECT SAID THAT T THE USE OF SETBACK AREA, ON THE LOTS, HECO ONLY CAME UP WITH FIVE PARKING STALLS ON A 5,000 SQUARE FEET LOT. BUT IN HE DO GO SETBACK AREA LIKE BILL 7 IS ALLOWED DO, HE COULD FIT IN 16 PARKING STALLS. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MORE UNITS THAT? AND THEN INCREASE THE HOUSING. AND THAT'S WHAT SHALL SAYING. WE NEED TO INCREASE HOUSING. ON THE NUMBER OF HOUSING. BECAUSE THAT WOULD DECREASE THE PRICINGEL ET CETERA. ON THE REAL ESTATE. SO, ANYWAY, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE IS BY PEOPLE TO BUY AND OWN THE UNITS INSTEAD OF RENTING. I KNOW RENTALSEL,EAR BUT I THINK SHOULD F THEY CAN, TRY TO, HAVE THEM BUY THE UNITSEL SO IN CASE THEY WANTED TO SELL, THEY COULD SRTS SOME EGG EQUITY INSIDE. AND I THINK INCLUDED THE LAYOUT FOR ARCHITECT WHO DREW THE PARKING FOR THE APARTMENT BUILDING ON 5,000 SQUARE FEET. IT IS POSSIBLE. BE PO. BUT IT'S UP TO RECALL TO YOU GUYS. ITIT'S POSSIBLE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THANK YOU. >>Chair Waters: THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY TODAY.
