RESOLUTION 25-39, THIS RESOLUTION DIRECTS DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND PERMITTING AND PLANNING COMMISSION TO PROCESS A COUNCIL INITIATED LAND USE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO INCREASE MAXIMUM DENSITY IN THE BMX 4 DISTRICT. WE POSTED ON AGENDA CD1 VERSION OF THE RESOLUTION. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, SUMMARY OF THE AMENDMENTS IS LISTED ON THE AGENDA. BMX 4 DISTRICT ENCOMPASS PORTION OF THE DOWNTOWN HONOLULU AREA,EL NOT BE CONTINUED FOR GENERAL APPLICATION OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN HONOLULUMENT NOT INTENDED AND PROVIDES FOR HIGHLAND USE INTENSITY. FOR COMMERCE, BUSINESS AND HOUSING. BMX 4 DISTRICT FUNCTIONS LIKE A SPECIAL DESIGN DISTRICT. ALLOWS FOR BUILDING HEIGHTS OF UP 450 PHOTO IN CERTAIN AREAS. FEET. PROVIDED, THAT FOR BIDDINGS THAT EXCEED 350 FEET IN HEIGHT, CERTAIN REQUIEMPLES MUST BE MET RELATING TO PUBLIC VIEWS, OPEN SPACES, PEDESTRIAN ORIENTATION, PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE AND NOT OBSTRUCTING FLOW OF LIGHT AND AIR. APPLICATIONS FOR PROJECTS THAT EXCEED 350 FEET 234 HEIGHT ARE PROCESSED AS MAJOR SPECIAL DISTRICT MITT PERMITS AND DENSE AT THE WORK TOGETHER TO DETERMINE BUILDING MASS. MASK MULL PEL HEIGHT CAN'T BE ACHIEVED IF IT IS LIMITED BY LOW DENSITYTY AND VICE CRIERS VERSA. PROPOSAL MEANT IT INCREASE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL IN THE BMX 4 DISTRICT BY INCREASING MAXIMUM DENSITY TO ACCOMMODATE TALLER BUILDING HAWAIIAN EHAWAIIAN ELECTRIC HEIS ALLOWED IN THE DISTRICT. TABLE 21-3.4 IN THE EXHIBIT A BILL, CURRENTLY IN THE BMX 4 DISTRICT, MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA RATIO WHICH I WILL BE REFERRING TO AS CAN F.A.R., WITH OPEN SPACE BONUS IS 7.5. EL THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL WAS TO INCREASE F.A.R. TO 12. THE CD1 DECREASES IT TO MAXIMUM F.A.R. OF 10. THE CURRENT MAXIMUM BASE F.A.R. IS 4. AND THE CD1 RETAINS PROPOSED INCONGPROPOSED -- INCREASE TO F. OF 7. BMX 4 DISTRICT WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD NODE PLAN AREA. T.O.D. PLAN AREA. NOT YET BEEN ADDED TO THE T.O.D. SPECIAL DISTRICT. SO CD1 REPLACES SECTION 3 OF THE BILL. WHICH WOULD HAVE AMENDED THE T.O.D. SPECIAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS THAT APPLY TO PROJECTS IN T.O.D. PLAN AREAS, THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDED TO THE T.O.D. SPECIAL DISTRICT. WITH A NEW SECTION 3 OF THE BILL, THAT AMENDS THE INTERIM PLAN DEVELOPMENT TRANSIT PROVISIONS THAT APPLY TO PROJECTS IN T.O.D. PLAN AREAS, THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN ADD TO THE T.O.D. SPECIAL DISTRICT. FOR THESE INTERIM TRANSIT PROJECTS, CD1 ALLOWS FOR MAXIMUM F.A.R. OF UP TO TWO TIMES THE F.A.R. ALLOWED BY THE UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICT OR F.A.R. OF 12. INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT F.A.R. OF 7.5. WHICH IS LOWER. SINCE T.O.D. PROJECTS MAY BE LOCATED IN VARIOUS UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICT, DENSITY CAP WILL ALLOW T.O.D. PROJECTS IN THE BMX 4 DISTRICT TO A CHIEF MAXIMUM F.A.R. OF 12. TO ACHIEVE. ALLOWING TOTED PROJECTS BMX DISTRICT MAXIMUM F.A.R. OF 12 CON SENATE WITH CONCEPT BONUS DENSITY AND T.O.D. AREAS SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN THE DID ENDSTY AD FOR THE URN LYING BMX 4 DISTRICT. UNDERLYING. WHILE F.A.R. OF 10 OR 12 MAY SEEM HIGH, BMX 4 DISTRICT IS DESIGNATED AS HAVING THE HIGHEST LAND USE INTENSITY, AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARD IN THE BMX 4 DISTRICT WILL PROTECT AGAINST HAVING VERY HIGH AND VERY DENSE BUILDING CONSTRUCTED NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON SMALL ZONING LOTS.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING THIS COMMON SENSE BILL. LIKE TO EXPRESS MY STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A LONG TIME IT COMING AND RIGHT SIZES THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY IN THE DOWNTOWN BMX 4 DISTRICT. AS ESTHER ALLUDED TO, THE DOWNTOWN LAND USE ORDINANCE CURRENTLY STATES THAT THE DOWNTOWN, BMX 4 ZONING DISTRICT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE HIGHEST INTENSITY LAND USE FOR RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL, AND OFFICE USES. HOWEVER, THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE TODAY. AS OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND TOWN SUCH AS THE ALA MOANA AND KAKAAKO CORRIDOR HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO ALLOW BASE F.A.R. OF 10-POINT, 5-POINT-AND-A-HALF AND UP TO 10.0. WE'VE SEEN THAT IS JUST RIGHT SIZING TO KEEP DOWNTOWN BMX 4 DISTRICT IN LINE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND TOWN. AND FROM A PUBLIC POLICY, WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD PLACE THAT WE SHOULD BE BUILDING MORE HOUSING INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WHERE IT'S INTENDED TO GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>Chair Kia'aina: MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. >>Councilmember Tupola: ARE YOU WITH THE COMPANY ORGANIZATION OR ASSOCIATION? >> YES.

ABOUT IN PROPERTY. SO FIRST OFF, GOING TO BE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY NEXT TO HPOWER FOR MATERIALS RECYCLING FACILITY. IS THAT CORRECT? >>Testifier: THAT IS CORRECT. AND POTENTIAL EXPANSION OF THE HPOWER FACILITY ITSELF. >>Councilmember Tupola: YES. MUCH NEEDED. IT HAS A VERY NARROW OPENING AND HOPEFULLY WITH BOTH PROPERTIES, IT CAN ACTUALLY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT. RESOLUTION, IT ALSO STATED THAT THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL PURCHASE OF FUTURE BURNER. IS THAT CORRECT? >>Testifier: THAT'S CORRECT. >>Councilmember Tupola: IS THIS GOING TO BE A MASS BURNER ALREADY LIKE THE FIRST TWO? WE HAVE THREE THERE. >>Testifier: MOST LIKELY THAT IS WHAT IT WOULD BE. THAT IS FUTURE PROJECT THAT HAS NOT FULLY BEEN FLESHED OUT YET. AND DID NOT BUMPER-BUDGET THE.>>Councilmemb: NOT IN ULT BUDGET YET. FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE MASS BURNER THAT WE HAVE WAS PUT ONLINE IN 2012. ACTUALLY THE MORE EFFECTIVE THE THREE BURNERS FIRST TWO BURN YOURSELF STILL WORK YOU HAVE TO SHRED THINGS DOWN SUGGESTLY FOR THE FIRST TWO BURNERS TO PROCESS AND INCINERATE. >>Vice Chair Waters: WOULD SAY IF WE DO POSSIBLY MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY OTHER BURNER WE MIGHT WANT TO I THINK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER BECAUSE WHEN THE MASS BURNER GETTING OFFLINE, WHEN A LOT OF TRASH IS DIVERTED STRAIGHT TO THE LANDFILL. IF IT'S OFF LINE. WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE ON U OFF LINE. DEPENDENTING ON WHETHER OR NOT THINGS GET STORTD THE CONNECTLY SOMETIMES HAD HAS TO GET OFFLINE TO PULL THINGS OUT OF IT. MATERIALS RECYCLING FACILITY IS IT AROUND THE WORLD THAT PEOPLE USE SO THAT INCINERATORS OPERATE BETTER. COULD YOU JUST BRIEFLY MAYBE EXPLAIN FOR THE PUBLIC HOW THAT WILL GREATLY HELP WHAT HAPPENS AT P POWER? >>Testifier: YEAH. DIFFERENT SEVERAL POMENT POSSIBILITIES WE'RE LOOKING AT. WONDER IS EVENTUAL LIKELY HOOD, CITY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE IN ADDITION TO MUNICIPAL SOL HE IS SOLID WASTE.NO FACILITY OR PLACT PPROCESSING IN THAT WASTE STREAM, GO BACK TO MSW, A LOT OF RECOVERABLE MATERIAL THAT CAN BE RECYCLED. AND MARKETS FOR THAT. SO WE WILL BE PLANNING FOR THAT AS WELL. PERHAPS 50% OR MORE OF THAT WASTE STREAM COULD BE RECYCLINGED. WITH RESPECT TO, THE REST OF THE WASTE STREAM, THERE IS LOTS OF PROCESSING THAT CAN BE DONE IN ORDER TO RECOVER RECYCLABLE MATERIALS. AND WE DO NEED SPACE TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THAT AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN MASS BURN FOR EXAMPLE, AND SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE, SITE IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING A FILTH AND OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY FACILITY. OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY CITY FACILITIES INCLUDING OUR, FUTURE POTENTIAL ASH RECYCLING FACILITY, ON THE PROPERTY BEHIND HPOWER. WHICH IS WE CALL THE SOLAR BUILDING. AND THEN ALSO THE NEW LEEWARD BASEYARD WHICH IS ALSO RIGHT BEHIND AND A JASON EVENT. ALL OF THESE PROPERTY, CR CONNECTED. ADJACENT, AND SO IT IS REALLY WOULD BE REALLY FORTUITOUS FOR THE CITY IS TO HAVE THIS PROPERTY FOR ALL FUTURE POTENTIALITIES FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT. >>Councilmember Tupola: GREAT SUMMARY AND FOR THE P PUBLIC BLUE BINS WE ENCOURAGE TO PEOPLE TO USE. SO SO MANY VALUABLE THINGS GO IN THE BLACK BIN. THIS WITH HELP TO FURTHER SORT IT DOWN. RECOVER AND POSSIBLY EVEN GENERATE KANOELANI DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH THINGS WE ARE ABLE TO RECOVER. LASTLY, WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE, LOT NEXTDOOR? KINDS OF DEPENDENT. >>Testifier: LOT IS 28 ACRES. SO VERY SIGNIFICANT SIZE LOT. >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER DOS SANTOS-TAM. >>Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: THANK YOU. QUESTION FOR DPP. AS A DIRECTOR, HAVE REREVIEWED OTHER PIM INTOIMS ON EWA DP AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT PLANS AROUND THE ISLAND OR OBSOLETE COMPLETED AN CANCELED PUBLIC PROJECT? >>Testifier: DID YOU WANT TO, ANSWER THE QUESTION? >>Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: WITHIN MUFI FAVORITE DWES FOR DPP. ONE OF A MY FAVORITE QUESTIONS FOR DPP. >>Testifier: GOOD MORNING CHAIR KIA'AINA. MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. JEAN WONG DID DPP PLANNING DIVISION.

SOMETHING WE NEED TO START GOING DOING GI. I UNDERSTAND MAPS ARE GETTING GET CUTCLUTTERED WITH A LOT OF M BOMBES. OBJECT BLEEVMENT WORKING ON THAT CONCERN OF YOURS. REACHING OUT TO THE LINE AGENCIES TO SEE WE DEFER TO THEM IF THEY WANT TO EPIC KEEP SYMBOL ON OR REMOVE IT. THANK YOU. LOT OF SYMBOLS. OBSOLETE. >>Chair Kia'aina: QUESTIONS FOR THE DR. BABCOCK. MY QUESTION WILL THE EXPAND HMENTD POWER FACILITY INCREASE AMOUNT OFEL COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE AS WOOD DEBRIS? OF THE FACILITY WILL BE ABLE TO PROIS HEIS ASSESS? >>Testifier: YES. DEPENDING PROCESS, YES I THINK THERE IS STILL PLANNING, AND DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE WITH RESPECT TO HOW THE C AND D WASTE WILL BE PROCESSED AND REDUCED IN VOLUME. BUT IT IS THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD BE AECOM BUSSABLE PORTION THAT COULD BE COMBUSTIBLE COULD BE PART OF THIS FACILITY. UNCLEAR, TREATED WOOD AND UNTREATED WOOD AND SOME THINGS ARE, POSSIBLE TO COMBUST CURRENTLY AND OTHERS ARE NOT. THERE ARE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS PYROLYSIS AND THINGS, WHICH CAN HANDLE, WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME EMISSIONS ISSUES. AND SO THE PERMITTING IS DIFFERENT. SO THERE'S QUITE A FEW THINGS THIS STILL TO EVALUATE. BUT THIS WOULD GIVE US THE FLEXIBILITY AND SPACE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT AN LOT OF DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES IN ORDER TO MAKE THE BEST FACILITY TO PRODUCE THE LESS LEAST AMOUNT OF WASTE THAT WE NEED OR NEED TO BE LANDFILLED OR SHIPPED OFF ISLAND. >>Councilmember Kia'aina: THANK YOU FOR THAT. WILL THE EXPANDED HPOWER FACILITY BE ABLE TO PROCESS NONCOMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE SUCH AS CONCRETE OR METAL WHICH IS CURRENTLY SENT TO THE PVT FACILITY? >>Testifier: YES, THANK YOU. THAT IS THE INTENTION WHAT THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE USED FOR. BECAUSE CURRENTLY, PVT LANDFILL WILL CLOSE EVENTUALLY. WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN. IT MAY BE IN THE FAIRLY NEAR FUTURE. FIVE YEARS OR SO. AND SO WE REALLY DO NEED TO GETTING PREPARED FOR THAT EVENTTY BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE A PROCESSING P FACILITY EVERYTHING WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE IT LANDFILL WITHOUT ANY SORTING OR ACCEPT RUSSIAN. >>Chair Kia'aina: I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. IS IT INTENT AS PART OF THAT EXPANSION FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE WASTE THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING TO THE PVT FACILITY SO THAT FOR CERTAINTY, THAT IT WILL CLOSE? >>Testifier: YES. THAT IS CORRECT. >>Chair Kia'aina: MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. DRAIR REP THAT IS RESOLUTION 26-95 BE AMENDED TO THE HANDCARRIED CD1. OCS2026, 0259. ANY DISCUSSION?

COMMUNITY EFFORTS SOCIAL MEDIA, NEIGHBORHOOD BOARDS LIKE THAT. >>Chair Kia'aina: IS THIS CITY DOING ANYTHING TO SUPPORT HOMEOWNERS WHO MAY BE FACING NEW FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS? OR INCREASING FLOOD INSURANCE PREMIUM? >>Testifier: HAD-HONORED OTHER THAN GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE, AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THEIR ZONES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN AND HOW THEY'RE IMPACTED, AND HOW WE CAN COORDINATE WITH FEMA, IF WE CAN STAY IN THIS PROGRAM, WITH FEMA AND NATIONAL FLOOD SPHIEWRNS PROGRAM, THEY'RE ABLE TO OBTAIN 10% DISCOUNTS ON THE FLOOD INSURANCE. >>Chair Kia'aina: AND TALKING ABOUT THIS, SO HOW DO HOMEOWNERS NAVIGATE THAT PROCESS? DO THEY GO TO A CERTAIN WEBSITE? WHO IS PROVIDING THAT KIND OF KOKUA TO THE HOMEOWNERS SO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF DISCOUNTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE? >>Testifier: SO THERE IS A LINKS THROUGH, SO C SCRVMENT SR OFFICE CCSR OFFICE HAS LINKS TO FEMA PROGRAM AND THEN THROUGH REGULAR INSURANCE PROVIDERS, A LOT OF MORTGAGES ARE IF YOU HAVE MORTGAGE, IN A FLOOD ZONE, REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS INSURANCE. INSURANCE WILL ALSO HELP YOU NAVIGATE THROUGH THE FEMA PROCESS TO OBTAIN THAT. >>Chair Kia'aina: IS THERE ANYTHING ON YOUR WEBSITE RELATING TO UPDATED FLOOD INSURANCE? BECAUSE NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DO APPRECIATE ROLE OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE OFFICE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HOMEOWNERS KNOW THEY TO HAVE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE. SO I'M JUST SAYING IF YOU DO HAVE SOMETHING YOU SHOULD CROSS-REFERENCE IT SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW. PEOPLE DON'T THIS I ABOUT THE OFFICE OF CLIMATE CHANGE WITH REGARD TO FLOOD INSURANCE MAPPINGS. NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT. WHATEVER IS NECESSARY, I WANT TO, BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BECOME EFFECTIVE AND SOME HOMEOWNERS MAY NOT F KNOW MAKE SURE THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE ARE RESOURCES OUT THERE TO HELP THEM WITH REGARD TO INCREASED PREMIUMS. >>Testifier: THAT'S A FAIR COMMENT. WE'LL GET SOMETHING ON OUR WEBSITE. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OF THE MEMBERS,? COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. >>Councilmember Tupola:EL FALL U FOULING UP ON THAT QUESTION. IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY, THAT YOU GUYS THINK THAT THAT MAYBE EVEN ONE LINE OR STATEMENT COULD BE PUT ON REAL PROPERTY TAX PAYCPAPER SENT OUT TO ALL HS EVERY YEAR. >> >>Testifier: THAT'S A REALLY GOOD SUGGESTION. YES. WE CAN DEFINITELY WORK WITH REAL PROPERTY TAX WEBSITE TO GET THAT OUT THERE. >>Councilmember Tupola: I DON'T THINK IT WOULD HURT. EVERY HOMEOWNER GETS THIS PAPER EVERY YEAR. SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO FLAG EVERYONE TO LOOK AT AN CERTAIN PLACE. BUT THAT IS PROBABLY OUR BEST BET. BESIDE WATER BILL, WASTEWATER BILL, EVERYONE GETS THOSE. SECONDLY, DO YOU GUYS WORK ACTIVELY WITH JERRY I BELIEVE HE TOOK OVER GORND ITO AT THE STATE. FOR GOR G GORND ITO STATE SMIEWS COMMISSIONER FOR HAWAII U NUMBER OF MEETINGS WITH IT. CCA DCCA A I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE NAMES. I KNOW BETWEEN DLNR FEMA AND DCCA WE HAVE RECURRING MEETINGS AND IT DISCUSSIONS LIKE THAT ABOUT INSURANCE. GORDON ITO. >>Councilmember Tupola: WE HAVE THE BIGGEST PURVIEW WE DON'T, POSSIBLE INSURANCE CHANGES, OR UPDATES OR THINGS WE CAN FIGHT FOR RESIDENCE ON. SO I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE LIKE A WORKING GROUP THAT WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH LEGISLATION. ARE YOU GUYS PART OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS? >>Testifier: WE HAVE BEEN? DISCUSSIONS WITH DCCA ON EXACTLY AND DALAI LAMA UNDER ON THOSE EFFORTS. DLNR. WHAT IS GOING O STATE SIDE, AND LEGISLATION, I'M NOT AWARE. HAVE MENTIONED COUPLE OF TIMES. HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING. >>Councilmember Tupola: OKAY. MAYBE WE CAN TRACK WITH THAT. SOMETIMES I BELIEVE IT IS CONSTITUENT FROM COUNCILMEMBER OKIMOTO'S AREA. WAS BRIN PERRY BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE A LOT. FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE INSURANCE INCREASES ARE A LOT. SURPRISING THEY'RE NOT READY FOR IT. DON'T KNOW HOW TO PREPARE FOR IT. DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT IT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WHICH GENDER I REALIZE THAT THERE IS SOME STATE PURVIEW. GINNY REALIZE. LITTLE BIT PURVIEW ON OUR SIDE. NOT A LOT. CAN'T CHANGE LAWS IN REGARDS TO THIS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE TRY TO WORK ON IN OUR COMMUNITY WAS BECOMING FIREWISE CERTIFIED. SO BASICALLY, INSURING THAT OUR AREA IS NOT PRONED TO FIRES AND THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING DOWN OUR INSURANCE RATES. IN THE AREA BECAUSE IT'S PROVING THAT HAZARD MITIGATION HAPPENS ON ON GOING ANNUAL BASIS. ARE THERE OTHER SOLUTIONS THAT YOU GUYS ARE THINKING ABOUT COMING UP WITH OR SUGGESTING TO US THAT COULD HELP WITH INSURANCE DECREASES? >>Testifier: THROUGH THE FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE HE PROGRAM, ACTUALLY HIGHER LEVELS THAT WE COULD OBTAIN BUT IT MEANS STRICTER REQUIREMENTS. EXAMPLE, SO R FOR DECIDED TO GO WHEN HAVE A DESIGN FLOOD ELD ELEVATION, YOU GOT TO RAISE YOUR STRUCTURE OR PARTS OF YOUR ST STRUCTURE ONE FOOT. DLNR AND FEMA WOULD LIKE TO SEE CONSISTENCY ACROSS ALL THE COUNCIL TUS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. AND THERE ARE AREAS THAT ARE SOUNDS LIKE BIG ISLAND IS ACTUALLY STRICTER THAN WE ARE. AND WE'RE CURRENTLY EVALUATING IMPACT OF THAT HOW WE COULD IMPLEMENT IT. IF WE GO-TO GET TO CERTAIN WILL HE HAVE IT'S CAN MEET WILL HE HAVE LEVELS CAN MEET REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THE CSR POAG, GET LARGER DISCOUNT ON THE FLOOD INSURANCE. HAS A DOMINO EFFECT ON THE ON ONPUBLIC. TRY TO PASS FUTURE ORDINANCE IT GET STRICTER TO, SO FOR THESE STRUCTURES GO UP AN BE SAFER GET FURTHER DISCOUNTS ON INSURANCE, EXAMPLE WE SAW WITH RECENT FLOODS, ONE STREET IN PARTICULAR GOT HIT VERY VERY HARD. NEAR THE STREAM. THERE WAS SOME PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY FLOOD INSURANCE BECAUSE OLDER HOME. NO MORTGAGE. AND NEIGHBOR RIGHT NEXT DAR WAS PAYING $13,000 A YEAR FOR FLOOD INSURANCE. ALL OF THESE HOME WERE NOT RAISED UP TO CERTAIN LANDFILLS L LEVELS WAIALUA RAISED UP WERE A MAGGIE LI RESILIENT. LIVABLE SPACES WERE FINE. PEOPLE COULD STAY THERE. AND LOWER LEVELS THAT MANAGED FLOOD. AND STILL STOOD. STAND UP FINE EVERYBODY WISHES THIS EVENT DIDN'T PA HAPPEN BUT IT IS THE EVENT THAT CAN USE AS EXAMPLE TO TRULY GET US TO A BETTER PLACE AND TO ENACTING THINGS EXACTLY LIKE YOU'RE SAYING. >>Vice Chair Waters: UP. >>Councilmember Tupola: LAST QUESTION INNER RAYS TO AMAZING HOMES IN REGARDS, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS FEMA FUNDS ADDRESS SOME OF THESE AREAS, WE NEED TO TIE THAT NEXUS BACK TO HOMEOWNERS WHILE THE FUNDS EXIST. BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE, LAIE, SO MANY HOMES WERE AFFECTED BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT RAISED. AND I DO BELIEVE QUITE A FEW OF THEM MAYBE 83, ARE GOING TO QUALIFY FOR FEMA. A ASSISTANCE. BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IF WE DON'T RAISE THE HOMES BECAUSE INSURANCE RATES ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND ACTUALLY BE MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL AT THE SAME LEVEL. SO THAT NEEDS TO BE CONVEYED CLEARLY. IF YOU XYZ, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH YOUR INSURANCE RATES, THEREFORE, IF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT, THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THIS OVERALL IS GOING TO ADVANCE WEDNESDAY INSURANCE RATES. ESPECIALLY WITH. >>Testifier: YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. THAT IS, PART OF THE EFFORT WE'VE BEEN DOING ROW REBUILD EVENTS IN WAILUA THIS WEEKEND IN L LAIE. AGREE WITH YOU GET THE WORD OUT MORE. WE'LL TRY TO GET MORE WEBSITE AND SO. >>Councilmember Tupola: BE CLEAR I SAW THE LAIE FLIER. BE CLEAR WITH PEOPLE THAT IS EXACTLY TIED TO IT. AND WHILE YOU HAVE THE MONEY OR YOU ARE AFFORDED TO BE GIVEN MONEY THROUGH FEMA, WHATEVER IT IS. PLEASE DO IT NOW. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO. >>Councilmember Cordero: THANK YOU. CHCHAIR KIA'AINA. DEPUTY DIRECTOR GALLAGHER, QUESTION ABOUT IF HOW -- MAKING SURE THAT DPP IS READY TO IMPLEMENT THESE NEW REGULATIONS TO CONFORM TO THE FEMA AND NIF REGULATION. BECAUSE I KNOW IT INCLUDES NEW SUBDIVISIONS OR EVEN AMENDMENTS TO SUBDIVISIONS. CONDITIONAL AMENDMENTS AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION. AND THERE IS SO MANY DIFFERENT NUMBERS FROM LIKE FOOT HIGHER THAN THE LEVEL OR EVEN 36 INCHES THAN THE DEPTHS. SO I KNOW THAT DPP CAN'T JUST BE OUT THERE MEASURING EVERYTHING. BUT HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK OUT? >>Testifier: IN THE NEW ORDINANCE, WE REQUIRED STAKES TO PUT ON TH PROPERTY. SURVEYED AND CERTIFIED SHOWING WHERE WHAT WE CALL BASE FLOOD ELEVATION. SO THAT IS AS FAR THE CONTRACTOR, AND DPP, INSPECTORS TO KNOW, HEY, THIS IS WHERE THE LINE IS. IN YOUR AREA, THERE'S A DESIGN FLOOD ELEVATION. WATER WILL GO TO A CERTAIN HEIGHT. THEN YOU GOT TO BE ABOVE THAT 1 FOOT. HELP US IDENTIFY ON SITE WHERE THOSE LOCATIONS ARE, AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO ELEVATE THEIR STRUSTRUCK TO. FACILITATE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES UNDERSTANDING CONTRACTOR HAS TO MOVE AROUND OON ON STATES. STAKES CAN BE TEMPORARILY MOVED AND RELOCATED. BACK IN PLACE. YOU SHALL WE'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT CONSTRUCTION AND COULD BE SIM SUNG MANY FAMILY, COULD BE COMMERCIAL. SINGLE FAMILY. GETTING TO EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND HOW DO WE MAKE SURE AND CERTIFY IT MUCH WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, BETWEEN OUR SITE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, BUILDING DIVISION. AND CUSTOMER SERVICE, WORKING WITH OUR INSPECTORS WE ARE RAMPING UP AND WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH OUR CLIMATE CLIMATE CHANGE, RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY RECALL OFFICE TO GET FUNDING TO GET ACTUALLY, WE RECEIVED GRANT FOR ADDITIONAL STAFF TO HELP IMAGINE THIS PROGRAM. AT THE END, THERE'S A FORM THAT WE HAVE TO SUBMIT TO DLNR, CALLED ELEVATION CERTIFICATE. AND IT IS THERE'S PHOTOS, DOCUMENTS ELEVATION, AND LICENSURE VARIES HAS TO STAMP THAT DOCUMENT AND CERTIFY YES, THIS HAS BEEN BUILT TON PLAs AND MEETS CORRECT ELEVATIONS. IF DPP REVIEWS IT, WE AT THE DEPARTMENT SIGN OFF ON IT. YES, THIS LOOKS GOOD. IF NOT, WE SAY NO, THIS DOES NOT MEET, YOU KNOW THIS DOES NOT MEET. WE CANNOT ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. ACTUALLY IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETIME WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR, WE'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN. DLNR IS GOING TO DO A DEEPER DIVE INTO DID DPP OFFICE AND TO BE REVIEWING THESE ELEVATIONS CERTIFICATES. MAKE SURE THEY'RE CORRECT. >>Councilmember Cordero: REALLY GOOD INFORMATION TO KNOW. AND FOR THE SURVEYING, SURVEYORS STILL CONTRACTED BY THE PROPERTY ONIONERS OR THOSE DOING THE WORKED, YEAH? NOT DPP? >>Testifier: CORRECT. HAVE TO BE LICENSED BY THE STATE. >>Councilmember Cordero: UNDERSTOOD. AND MY NEXT AND LAST QUESTION, IN THE BILL, IT DOES STATE THAT LETTER OF MAP REVISION SHALL BE OBTAINED FROM FEMA WHERE DEVELOPMENT HAS CHANGED BASE FLOOD ELEVATION WITHIN THE ANY SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA. THAT BY THE DPP DIRECTOR OR IS THAT BY ANY APPLICANT DOING ANY CONSTRUCTION? >>Testifier: FOR ANY APPLICANT DOING CONSTRUCTION. IF THEY'RE GOING TO NOT COMPLETELY RESTRICTING BUILDING STRUCTURES IN FLOOD WAYS. MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. CERTAIN THINGS THEY WON'T ALLOW TO YOU BUILD. ESPECIALLY IN IT IMPACTS THE FLOWAGE CAPACITY OF EXISTING WATER COURSE. CAN BE STREAM, DRAINAGE SUCK WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. WHATEVER YOU DO. STRUCTURE, HAS TO ANALYSIS MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACTING SOMETHING SOMEWHERE ELSE. STREAM CHANGES DIRECTION, NEIGHBOR AC ACROSS THE WHAT CAN BE IMPACT. THAT GOES, THROUGH DLNR RA AROUND FEMA FOR VALUATION. >>Councilmember Cordero: MIGHT BE MAY I IN ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. DOES IT MATTER STREAM BANK UNDER CHANNELIZED OR NATURAL TYPE OF ICE CREAM STREAM, APPLY IT'S TO ALL OF THEM. STREAM. >>Councilmember Cordero: THANK YOU. THANK YOU CH CHAIR KIA'AINA. WATERS. >>Councilmember Waters: THANK YOU. IS THIS BILL GOING TO MAKE CON STROWKS HOAME HOP MON HOMES FOR, IN THEORY YES. FRONT END IF YOU HAVE TO RAISE YOUR STRUCTURE TO GET IT SAFER PLACE, THEN WE'LL SAY YES. THE LONGTERM IMPACT WOULD BE YOU WOULD REDUCE INSURANCE COSTS. OVER YEARS AND YEARS. BUT YEAH, IT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS YOU. BUILDING CODE UPDATES, THINGS CAN GET MORE EXPENSIVE. IT'S ALL IN EFFORTS TO TRY TO GET EVERYBODY TO SAFER BETTER PLACE. >>Councilmember Waters: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW MUCH MORE IT'S GOING TO COST TO BUILBUILD HOMES U I DON'T. REALLY SUBJECTIVE ON THE PROPERTY. SOME PEOPLE JUST RAISE THEIR EXISTING HOME, JACK IT UP. PUT IT ON PILES OR SOME KIND OF FOUNDATION HAS TO BE ANCHOR. ALL DEPENDS ON LOCATION AND WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO. >>Vice Chair Waters: TRADEOFF. RIGHT? PUT MONEY UP FRONT, AND INSURANCE WILL BE LESS. BUT THAT'S WHY INTERESTING TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS IS HERE. ALSO, WHAT HAPPENS WITH CURRENT PEOPLE WAITING FOR THE BUILDING PERMITS? ARE THEY GOING TO BE AFFECTED? DO THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THIS NEW. >>Testifier: PIECE WARRIOR TRYING IN A OF GAIT. WE'RE TRYING TO NAVARRO GAY. SOME PEOPLE PROBABLY -- NAVIGATE. IN CONSTRUCTION NOW, ALREADY RECEIVED BUILDING P PERMITS AND THAT'S PIECE WE'RE WHEN ORDINANCE ENACTED THEY WILL NOT BE, AT THE END. PROBABLY WILL NOT BE COMPLIANT BUT PIECE WE'RE LOOK BORA CULTURE. ING WITH DLNR AND FEMA TO UNDERSTAND,ER WORKING WITH DLNR. GRAY AREA IN THERE BECAUSE WE ENACTED LAW RIGHT AWAY, HOW IS IT ACTUALLY APPLY SAYING YOU'RE GO TO HAVE TO GIVE PEOPLE LEEWAY ON STUFF THAT WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN APPROVALS TO MEETING PREVIOUS ORDINANCE JUST HELPFUL AS WE HELP EVERYONE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. >>Vice Chair Waters: KIND OF TANGLED WEB. TYPICALLY, DPP IS PHILOSOPHY IS YOU HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW, WHEN YOU APPLIED FOR YOUR PERMIT. HERE, WE'RE DEALING WITH FEMA. YEAH. >>Testifier: WE'VE BEEN NOTIFYING APPLICANTS NOW TO THIS HAS COMING UP. WE'VE BEEN NOTIFYING THEM FOR A WHILE. EL BE AWARE. THIS IS THE DATE. HAVE TO COMPLY. THERE ARE SOME BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE GET BUILDING PERMIT I MEAN, GOT TO IT SIX, 8 MONTHS AGO. AND THEN, OR CONSTRUCTION CAN BE SLOW AND TAKE A WHILE. WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THEM TO TRY TO GRANDFATHER THEM. BECAUSE TO TELL THEM NO, YOU GOT TO CHANGE YOUR CONSTRUCTION IT RIGHT BEFORE READY TO MOVE IN. NOT REALLY FAIR TO THEM. >>Vice Chair Waters: APPRECIATE THAT. >>Testifier: IMPACT IS GOING TO BE DISCUSSION WITH THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH IS SOMETHING WE CAN'T CONTROL HOWEVER. >>Vice Chair Waters: THIS IS BASICALLY DEALS WITH HOMES IN THE FLOOD PLAIN. RIGHT? OUTSIDE FLOOD PLAIN, A LOT OF THIS WON'T APPLY TO YOU. >>Testifier: CORRECT. >>Vice Chair Waters: THANK YOU. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. JUST A LITTLE FOLLOW-UP THAT KIND OF DIALOGUE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THE TESTIMONY FROM THE BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION. WHICH I BELIEVE IS SHOULD HAVE A PLY NOT JUST TO BUILDING INDUSTRY BUT HOMEOWNERS. SO BIA IS SAYINGEL BIA HAWAII URGES COUNCIL TO CONSIDER PRACTICAL IMPLICATION OF THESE AMENDMENTS AND BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW AND APPROVAL IS PROCESS ALREADY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT DELAYS. ANY NEW REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ADOPTED THROUGH BILL 34 MRSA BE KAOPUIKI KAOPUID CLEAR PLAN. IMPLEMENT THEM EFFICIENTLY WITHOUT DELAY. NOT REFLECTIVE OF THE CONCERNS BY BUILDING INDUSTRY. HOMEOWNERS THEMSELVES. ACCOMPANIED BY A CLEAR PLAN. YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WORKING WITH OFFICE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. AND A TEAM. TO DETERMINE THIS. BUT COULD YOU FURTHER ELABORATE AND COULD RERESPOND TO THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY BIA? >>Testifier: I THINK BIA'S COMMENT IS WHEN WE ADOPTED THIS PROGRAM, IT WAS SOMETHING NEW TO DPP. GETTING IT ROLLING. AROUND EVERYONE THROUGH THE PROCESS AFFECTIVELY EFFICIENCY WAS SLOW. IT WAS SLOW AT FIRST. WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE EFFICIENCY PROCESSES. BECAUSE WHEN THE COMES INTO, PLANS COME INTO THE DEPARTMENT, WE REVIEW THEM, OUR CITE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION WHICH IS MOSTLY CIVIL NEERNLG SUBDIVISION GROUP HAS BEEN DEEMED GROUP TO REALLY MANAGE ALL OF THIS STUFF LOT OF IT COMES DOWN TO ONE APPROVAL OF PIRNLT AND OUR BUILDING INSPECTORS. PERMIT SHIFTED, SPREAD OUT THE, WORK FLOW AND RESPONSIBILITIES THROUGHOUT MULTIPLE DIVISION AND THEY UNDERSTAND. SO IF OUR BUILDING ININSPECTER MECHANICAL INSPECT RT GO OUT, SEE IT, THAT DIVISION HAS RESPONSIBILITY. RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR INSPECTION RT TO SEE, WHO SIGNS OFF, ON THIS. FINALLY. BECAUSE A LOT OF THINK WHAT THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT IS ELEVATION CERTIFICATES. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ELEVATION CERTIFICATES THAT HAVE COME IF THAT WERE VERY POORLY PREPARED. AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE PHOTOS AND VERY POOR PHOTOS. WE CAN'T SEE WHAT IT IS. SO WE REALLY PUSHED ON OUR BUILDING INSPECTORS B THEREBY WITH THE CONTRACTOR, WITH THE HOMEOWNERS AND SAY,, BE THERE, THIS IS ISSUE, RESOLVE IT NOW. SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT BIA IS SAYING. >>Chair Kia'aina: YOU ARE AWARE OF IT AND THEN YOU BELIEVEEL YOU'RE CONFIDENT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WEATHER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW REGULATIONS, CORRECT. >>Testifier: YES. >>Chair Kia'aina: WHICH WILL OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, HELP BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER REGULATORY BURDEN THAT IS GOING TO IMPEDE YOUR BACKLOG. >>Testifier: RIGHT. CAMARILLO WITH REGARD TO PERMITTING PROCESS. >>Chair Kia'aina: WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THAT. THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, CHAIR RECOMMENDS THAT BILL 34, 2026 BE AMENDED TO POSTED CD1. AS FURTHER AMENDED, WE DISCUSSED CHANGE EFFECTIVE DATE TO THE ORDINANCE TO JUNE 10, 2026. ANY DISCUSSION? ANY OBJECTIONS OR RESERVATIONS? HEARING NONE. BILL HAS BEEN AMEND TO DO A CD1. CHAIR THEN RECOMMENDS THAT BILL 34, TO 206 CD1 REPORTED FOR PAS PASSAGE SECOND READING D SCHEDULING PUBLIC HEARING. ANY DISCUSSION? IS ANY OBJECTIONS OR RESERVATIONS? HEARING NONE. SO ORDERED. MOVING TO THE LAST AGENDA ITEM NUMBER HAD 4 INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING PRESENTATION BY THE CITY'S DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PERMITTING ON ITS REBUILD OAHU PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY THE KONA LOW STORMS TO HELP THEM. NAVIGATE REBUILDING AND PRERECOVERY PROCESS. JOIN US COUNCIL CHAMBER IS DAWN TAKEUCHI APUNA. DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PERMITTING. EL PROVIDING BRIEF PRESENTATION ON REBUILD OAHU FOR YOUR INFORMING, PRESENTATION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AS DEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION 299-2026. >>Testifier: THANK YOU CHAIR AND THING YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING ON THE RECOVERY, DPP RECOVERY EFFORTS. ON REBUILDING OAHU FOLLOWING THE KONA LOW STORMS. I WANTED TO GO OVER THE KEY FACES FOLLOWING DISASTER. KEY PHASES. EMERGENCY, RESPONSE AND IMMEDIATE RESCUE AND SAFETY THAT HFD, HPD AND EMS WERE WORKING VERY HARD DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS STORMS AND AFTER. I EFFECTIVWANTED A TO DO U ADD R PART OF IMMEDIATE RESPONSE SHELTER WORK AN DPP PLAYED IMPORTANT ROLE IN SHELTER WORK. SO THAT PEOPLE COULD EVACUATE AND HAVE ROOF OVER DURING THE STORM. US AND AFTER THAT. AND THAT, ACTUALLY OUR BADGES, WHEN IT'S YELLOW, THAT INDICATES THAT WE ARE ALL REQUIRED TO BE SHELTER WORKERS. SO WE MOBILIZE BASED ON DEM, LETTING US KNOW WHICH SHELTERS THEY WERE OPENING. AND WITH HR THE THEY HELPED ORGANIZE TOO AND WE WERE ASKED TO HAVE SO MANY, I WON'T SAY VOLUNTEERS BUT STAFF THERE TO STAFF THE SHELTERS IN 12 HOUR SHIFTS. NEXT IS NUMBER 2, CLEAN-UP AND DAMAGE ASSESSMENT. WE SAW DEM OUT THERE AND OTHERS AND COMMUNITY CLEANING UP THE AREAS RIGHT AFTER STORM. AND THEN THREE, IS RECOVERY AND REBUILDING. WE BELIEVE DPP PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN RECOVERY AND REBUILDING. AND NUMBER 4, SOMETHING WE DON'T NECESSARILY THINK ABOUT A LOT. MITIGATION. AND PREPAREDNESS AND AWARENESS FOR POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL NATURAL DISASTERS THAT MAY COME ABOUT. AND WE SHOULD BE BETTER THAN WE WERE THE FIRST TIME AROUND. THAT IS ALWAYS WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT. EVEN WITH THE BILL 34, HOW CAN WE BE MORE RESILIENT WHEN THESE THINGS STRIKE. SO LIKE IN PHASE 3, PHASE II, DAMAGE ASSESSMENT THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT ROLE FOR US IN ORDER TO GET THE NUMBERS FOR FEMA TO DETERMINE THAT WE ARE DISASTER AREA IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FEMA FUNDING. SO THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED THROUGH ONE OAHU.ORG, OVER ALL, THERE WERE 1,586 REPORTS. SELF-REPORTING BY PROPERTY OWNERS. I THINK WE RECEIVED EVEN MORE SINCE THEN. WE CONTINUE TO TAKE REPORTS FROM INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SUFFERED DAMAGE. OF THOSE,EL LABELED 442 WERE AFFECTED. THAT'S COSMETIC DAMAGE. PROPERTY IS SAFE TO LIVE IN. 436 MINOR NONSTRUCTURAL. 260 MAJOR OR EGGS TENSE EVERYONE REPAIRS. EXTENSIVE. 23 DESTROYED TOTAL LOSS. AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. 32 WERE TEMPORARILY INACCESS NL. MIGHT BE DUE DO IT SOME OF THE FLOODING THAT POL BLOCKED THEIR ACCESS. AND THEN 393 WERE NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS WE RECEIVED THESE REPORTS FROM DEM. AND DPP AS WELL AS SOME DD. CC AND COMMUNITY SERVICE STAFF WENT OUT AND IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE TIMELY WENT OUTRIGHT AFTER THE STORM. DDC TO ASSESS FLOOD LINES, WITHIN HOUSES, AND TO LITTLE UNDERSTAND IT'S REALLY UNDERSTAND THE, LEVEL OF DAMAGE. I WANTED TO POINT OUT SO THE STANDARD THAT WERE USED, MAJOR WOULD BE FLOOD LINES 12 INCHES OR ABOVE. OR THAT COVERED ELECTRICAL OUTLET. MINOR WOULD BE MIGHT BE LOWER THAN 12 INCHING. BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE YOUR WHOLE HOUSE IS FLOODED. MIGHT NOT BE 12, INCHES BUT IT A LOT OF DAMAGE. BUT CONSIDERED MINOR UNDER FEMA. ALSO,EL MUD, IF THERE WAS MUD IN YOUR HOUSE DUE TO IT. THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED MAJOR DAMAGE. SO WITH THIS INFORMATION, LIKE I SAID, FEMA WAS ABLE TO TAKE THAT DATA A AND TAKE IT TO THE FEDS TO DETERMINE THE DISASTER DECLARATION. AFTER WE SENT OUT OUR INSPECTORS TO DO THESE ASSESSMENTS, WE WENT OUT WITH FEMA AND SBA SO THEY COULD VALIDATE THAT INFORMATION I WIND OUT TO OUR DEMPEWOLF SIVMENT INTERESTING TO UNDERSTAND, DEPUTY. UNDERSTAND TO GO HOUSE TO HOUSE TO REALLY SEE THE DAMAGE DAMAGE, UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE WERE GOING THROUGH, AND TALK TO FEMA AND SBA REPRESENTATIVES SO THAT WAS A VERY GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR US. BUT BASED ON THE INFORMATION OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENT, DID NOT ONLY PROVIDES GOOD DATA, FOR FEMA, BUT IT GIVE US US SOME UNDERSTANDING FOR DPP FOR THE CITY HOW WE'RE GOING TO REBUILD. IT GIVES US GENERAL INFORMATION OF WE'RE DEALING WITH 23 DESTROYED PROPERTIES. THAT MAY BE COMING IN FOR NEW BUILDS. AND THEN 260 MARRIAGES THAT MAY NEED MAJOR REPYRE. MAJOR. RAYA NIED MAJOR PAIRS. NEXT SLIDE SOME DATA COLLECTED FLOOD INSURANCE ASKING WHETHER THEY HAD FLOOD INSURANCE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, CLOSE TO 56% DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE. THAT IS WHERE FEMA COMES IN. IF YOU DON'T HAVE INSURANCE, FEMA HOPEFULLY CAN COVER THAT COST. SO UNDERSTANDING WE'RE IN THE PHASE 3 OF REBI REBILL B.I.L.ING WHAT IS THE REBUILD OAHU EFFORT? REBUILDING. OUR OBJECTIVE, SO TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY REBUILD, QUICKLY AND SAFELY AND WITH CLARITY. AND HOW ARE WE DOING THAT? WE'RE CONNECTING RESIDENTS WITH RESOURCES TOOLS AND GUIDE GUIDANCE NEEDED TO RESTORE TO RESTRUCTURES. TRYING TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY'RE AT IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND WHEREVER THEY ARE IN THE REBUILD PROCESS. WE WANT TO PROVIDE CLARITY, ON AMONG WORK, BUILDING PERMIT PROCESSES, SMA FLOOD ZONES, CREATING GRADING ET CETERA. WE'RE HERE TO OFFER PERMIT FEE WAIVERS AND EXPEDITING FOR KONA LOW VICTIMS. SO PART OF THE REBUILD EFFORT, WE WANTED TO BE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. SO IN PREPARATION OF THE WAIALUA REBUILD EFFORTS COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WE PUT OUT THE BAT SIGNAL AND WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT STEPPED FORWARD AND WANTED TO BE PART OF THAT. AND A LOT OF CITY AGENCIES, FEDERAL AND STATE. NEXT TO THAT, IS WE WANTED TO BE ORGANIZED AND WE WA WANT TO E IMPACTFUL ON THE DAY WE WERE OUT THERE. SO WE CREATED APPOINTMENT SYSTEM. SO THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS COULD COME IN AND RESERVE 20 MINUTE TIME WITH DPP STAFF, AND IT'S NOT JUST THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS, WE ASK FOR WHAT TYPE OF DAMAGE AND WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS THEY HAD AND WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING TO DO. AND WITH THAT, WE HAD OUR STAFF DO BACKGROUND WORK ON THIS. BEFORE THAT SATURDAY EVENT. VERY HELPFUL. BECAUSE WE WHEN PEOPLE COME NO, WE ALREADY HAVE KIND OF KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DEAL WITH AND HAVE SOME AN ANSWER FOR THE. THAT WAS FAP HELPFUL. DON'T WANT TO JUST HELP PEOPLE CAME TO TALK TO US. WE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THEIR ISSUES WERE. MADE THE BAT SIGNAL CALL, WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COME, SOME OF THE INDUSTRY THAT WERE OUT THERE. BIA, AIA, SOME CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES AND OTHERS. WHICH WAS REALLY GREAT. I THINK JUST COMMUNITY SEEING PEOPLE COME OUT, AND SEEING THAT ALL OF THESE INDUSTRY PEOPLE WERE OUT THERE AND WILLING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, WAS VERY GOOD. SIMILARLY GOVERNMENT PARTNERS, SBA, FILE FEMME STATE AND VARIOS CITY ORGANIZATION WERE THERE TOO. FEMA. JESUS PROVPRO SIRI SIDE INFORM. MAYBE YOU HEARD THIS YESTERDAY. FEMA IS GOING TO BE OUT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO BE, AT THE WAIALUA COURTHOUSE AND THEY WILL ALSO ROTATE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY GOING TO ACTUALLY BE THERE TO HELP WITH MORE INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS. O AS WELL AS APPLYING, SBA WILL BE THERE FEMA WANT TO APPLY FOR LOANS. PEOPLE WANT TO. TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ON FEMA AND SBA OUT IN THE COMMUNITY KIND OF DOING A SIMILAR COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE CENTER. OUR WAIALUA REBUILD OAHU EVENT, WE HAD MORE THAN 150 PEOPLE ATTEND. ER ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING, AT 9:00, WE OPENED DOORS, A LOT OF PEOPLE. REALLY EXCITED WE HAD DPP ITSELF HAD 7 TABLES WITH TWO STAFF MEMEPEO MEME PEOPLE EACH D TABLES COMPLETELY FULL. HELPING PEOPLE. STAFF PEOPLE EACH I WOULD SAY THAT, I MET WITH THE FEW AND WHEN THEY CAME IN, WERE STILL A LITTLE BIT FRAZZLED. THIS QUESTIONS. AND BUT WHEN THEY LEFT, I FELT THAT THEY FELT BETTER. THAT HE THIS JUST WANTED TO TALK TO PEOPLE, GET SOME ANSWERS, HAVE PEOPLE LISTEN TO THEM, AND WITH THAT, HOPEFULLY, WE'RE MAKING IT POSITIVE IMPACT. SOME OF COMMON QUESTIONS FROM WALK-INS. AND THE INTAKE THAT WE HAD. MOST OF IT OF COURSE, BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS,EL EMERGENCY GRADING, AND THEN ABOUT THEIR DAMAGE ASSESSMENT, AND EMERGENCY REPAIRS. SO STAFF WOULD WALK THEM THROUGH. AND WE HAD VARIOUS DISCIPLINES. NOT JUST BUILDING PERMIT PROCESSING STAFF. BUT WE HAD GRADING AND FLOOD AS WELL AS SOME SMA AND OTHER THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL. EVEN IF ONE STAFF PERSON DIDN'T KNOW ANSWERS WE HAD ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE IN THE AT THE TABLES WHERE WE COULD GO AROUND AND ASK OTHER STAFF AND FILL IN SOME OF THE GAPS. SO THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY, SO FAR, IS THERE IS STILL IS ONGOING NEED FOR REBUILDING P SUPPORT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. STILL SEEKING ASSISTANCE ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW WHERE TO START. WHO DO TURN IT FOR HELP. WE'RE HERE TO HELP. AND SO WE ALSO HAVE ONLINE RESOURCE. WE HAVE REBUILD DONATION MATCH REGISTRY. WHAT WE DID HEARD THAT PEOPLE NEEDED CERTAIN TYPES OF MATERIALS LIKE DRYWALL, AND LUMBER. WE ALSO HAVE HEARD FROM DIFFERENT DONORS THAT WANTED TO PROVIDE LABOR AND MATERIALS. SO WE WERE JUST ACT AS MIDDLE PERSON TO BRING THE TWO TOGETHER. WE HAVE NOT YET ACTUALLY PROVIDED DONATIONS OR THE MATCH. BUT WE ARE TRYING TO ORGANIZE THAT WITHOUT HAVING ISSUES WITH SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE INSURANCE, TRYING TO GET FEMA ASSISTANCE, I UNDERSTAND DONATIONS MAY IMPACT THE ASSISTANCE FROM FEMA. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES, DOES CASE MANAGEMENT AND SO THAT WE CAN UYENO DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AS ASSISTANCE PLUS DONATION. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE FAQS CONTINUE TO UPDATE. THAT TALKS ABOUT DO I NEED A PERMIT? WHEN CAN EMERGENCY WORK BEGIN? AND GRADING, ET. ALL THE OF THE DPP RELATED REBUILDING. WE HAVE FAQS ON OUR O WEBSITE. AND THEN WE HAVE KIND OF SEPARATE PROCESS THAT LAID OUT FOR KONA LOW, BUILDING PERMIT, APPLICANTS. THAT IS EXPEDITED AND IS WE GIVE STEP-BY-STEP INSUNRISE ON HAWAII NEWS NOW INSTRUCTIONS SO PEOPLE -- INSTRUCTIONS SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROCESS IS. AND AS SUCCESSFUL AS THE WAIALUA EVENT WAS, WE ARE NOW GOING TO LAIE ON SATURDAY. MANY OF THE SAME PARTICIPANTS WILL BE THERE. IT WILL BE AT THE LAIE HAWAII STATE CENTER FROM 9 9:00 A MANY TO 1 BEING PMENT. ANTENNA TALKING APPOINTMENTS. WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION. SO WE CAN RESEARCH AND BE READY. 9:00 A.M. TO 1:00 P.M. READY FOR THAT. AND THAT IS IT. LAST PICTURE IS ACTUALLY OF OUR STAFF PEOPLE IN WAIANAE. LAST WEEKEND. AT THE CAC SO WE MADE ONE APPEARANCE IN WAIANAE, MOVING FORWARD, WE'LL EVALUATE IF WE SHOULD DO MORE REBUILD EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE IT EVOLVE AND SEE HOW WE CAN BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF KONA LOW VICTIMS WHETHER IT IS THESE KIND OF COMMUNITY EVENTS, OR PROVIDE BETTER MATERIAL, OR JUST OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP. SO WITH THAT, THAT IS MY PRESENTATION. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU SORRY, HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION HERE. JUST TO GIVE YOU IDEA OF WHAT IS IN OUR SYSTEM NOW, IN TERMS OF KONA LOW PERMITS, WE HAVE TOTAL OF 17 IN PROCESS RIGHT NOW. FOR BUILDING PERMIT. 6 ARE REPAIR PERMITS. TWO ARE TALL ALL TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OR ADDITION. -- ALTERATION OR ADDICTION. THINK MAY IN NOT BE NECESSARY KONA LOW AFFECTED. THREE NEW SINGLE FAMILY, GEL DWELLING PERMITS ONE SITE WORK REPAY TANNING WALL REPAIR AND FIVE COMPLETE DEMOLITIONS. RETAINING WALL. I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU ARE. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. DIRECTOR, I WANTED TO THANK YOU AS WELL AS YOUR TEAM. IEL FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK, INCLUDING I KNOW THERE IS BEEN A LOT OF OVER TIME AND I FEEL THAT AS EVERYONE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY KOKUA, AND I FEEL THAT PART OF OUR KOKUA, BUDGET PROCESS, TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF THE CITY AGENCIES INCLUDING DPP, HAS NECESSARY RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT OVER TIME PHASE. I WANTED TO TELL YOU THANK YOU BECAUSE I DO FEEL THAT ALL AGENCIES HAVE BEEN ACCEPT STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE OF THE I THINK KIND OF NOW, FOR EVERYONE, BUT HOPEFULLY, IT COULD BE INSTITUTIONALIZE ONLY GET BET RT FUTURE DISASTERS. AS WERE YOU TALKING THINKING PROBABLY A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS OUT THERE SAYING, I WISH WE HAD THAT PROCESS NOW. JUST FOR GENERAL PERMITTING PROCESSES. AND MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. AFTER YOU GET EVERYBODY INTO THE QUEUE AND PROCESSED. I JUST HAVE SOME BASE I CAN QUESTION BASIC QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU TURN IT OVER TO COLLEAGUES. APART FROM PERMITING WAIVERS, IS THERE ANYTHING WITHIN YOUR AUTHORITIES, ARE YOU GUYS CONTEMPLATING WAIVERS OF ANY TYPE OF PERMITS WHETHER IT BE SMA OR ANY OTHER PERMITS? >>Testifier: FOR SMA, I DON'T THINK WE CAN. WE CAN'T WAIVE THOSE REQUIREMENTS. BUT WHICH CAN CERTAINLY TRY TO EXPEDITE SOME OF THOSE PERMITS. IT JUST DEPENDS. BUT GRADING, BUILDING PERMITS, WE CAN WAIVE THE FEES FOR THOSE. IT'S KIND OF CASE-BY-CASE. UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE PROPERTY, WHAT THEY NEED. AND WE CAN GO THROUGH THAT. AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE CAN WAIVE OR EXPEDITE. >>Chair Kia'aina: BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING EVERYTHING AND LOOKING AT ALL THE VARIOUS AUTHORITIES, RIGHT? TO MAKE THE PROCESS SMOOTHER. IN TANDEM WITH THE STATE, ARE YOU WORKING IN SYNC WITH THE STATE? SO FOR EXAMPLE, WHETHER IT BE THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, WASTEWATER BRANCH OR OTHER STATE AGENCIES, THAT ARE ALSO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THE PERMITTING PROCESS, RURAL CAREYOU WORKING IN TU TANDEM TOE THEIR PROCESSES EFFICIENT AND PRIORITIZED WITH REGARD TO THESE HOMEOWNERS? >>Testifier: YES. ACTUALLY, DOH WASTEWATER, WE HAVE A CALL-OUT TO THEM RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE SCOPE THAT WE NEED TO SENT ERR SEND TO THEM. BECAUSE WE I THINK A LOT THESE THEY DON'T NEED TO BE SENT TO DOH, SO IT'S COMING UP AS WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN BE FASTER. FOR THESE CUSTOMERS. THESE ISSUES ARE COMING OUT WE ARE ADDRESSING THEM. SO I THINK. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. JUST APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING INTO IT. BECAUSE YOU CAN WORK REALLY, REALLY HARD BUT THERE'S OTHER PLAYERS INVOLVED, THAT CAN IMPEDE THE EXPEDITING, OF THE PROCESS, THEN YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THAT. >>Testifier: RIGHT. >>Chair Kia'aina: WANTED TO TELL THAT YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO. >>Councilmember Cordero: ONE QUESTION. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO REPEAT PLEASE DIRECTOR THE NUMBERS THAT YOU LISTED OFF AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION? EL KONA LOW NUMBERS. WITH APPLICATIONS. >>Testifier: SURE. SO THESE ARE BUILDING PERMITS. THERE'S TOTAL OF 17 IN PROCESS. EL 6 REPAIR PERMITS. TWO ALTERATION OR ADDITION. STILL LOOKING AT THOSE TWO. A AS FAR AS THE ELIGIBILITY. AS KONA LOW PROPERTY. THREE NEW SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGINGS. ONE SITE WORK OR REPAINT TANNING WALL REPAIR AND FIVE DEM LIGS. RETAINING WALL. >>Testifier: >>Councilmember Cordero: THANK YOU SO MUCH. DEMOLITIONS. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER OKIMOTO. >>Councilmember Okimoto: THANK YOU CHAIR. GOOD MORNING DIRECTOR. THANK YOU FOR THE NICE PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION. I LEE LEARN A LOT. I THINK KONA LOW STORM HAS TAUGHT US A AL US A A LOT DEPAR. CURIOUS WANT TO GO BACK TO WHERE YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING I THOUGHT YOU SAID. ON YOUR BADGE. LL PART SHOW THAT YOU HAVE TO YELLOW PART. WHAT WAS WORD? SHELTER WORKERS. >>Testifier: SHELTER WORKS WANT TO THE KNOW ABOUT THAT. >>Councilmember Okimoto: WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT INTAIL? WHAT KIND OF TRAINING, ARE YOU GUYS OUT THERE? I DIDN'T ARE INITIALLY THINK THAT DPP WOULD BE OUT THERE BOOTS ON THE GROUND RIGHT AFTER THE FLOODS. SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE B & B. SO IS THAT HAVE BEEN. TRAINING OF STAFF? WHO IS OUT THERE FOR THESE SHELTER WORKS. >>Testifier: EXACTLY THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE READY TO GO WHEN WE'RE CALLED TO MAN SHELTERS. CITY WORKERS WITH THE YELLOW STRIPES. SO AS SOON AS WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE OPENING SHELTER, WE'RE GIVEN THE NUMBERS AND DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS PROVIDE NUMBER OF STAFF AND IN THIS PAST EVENT, THEY 12 HOURS SHIFTS. SO I THINK IT WAS LIKE 6 TO 6:00. RESTATE. THEY WERE ROTATE. ROTATE. TRAINING, I DON'T THINK THERE IS SPECIFIC TRAINING. BUT WE DO THINK THAT THAT IS LESSON LEARNED. THAT TRAINING EVEN JUST BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT MEANS, IS IMPORTANT. EVEN THE TRYING TO GET OUR STAFF TO KIND OF VOLUNTEER AND FILL THOSE QUICKLY, THAT WAS A WHOLE LESSON LEARNED IN THE FIRST STORM. AND WE IMPROVED BY THE SECOND. LIKE WE WERE KIND OF EMAILING EVERYONE AND THAT WAS OUT OF CONTROL. SO WE CAME UP WITH A GOOGLE SHEET SO PEOPLE GO TO THE GOOGLE SHEET, SIGN UP. THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT. THIS THESE ARE SHIFTS. BUT YEAH, THAT'S WHAT CITY WORKERS. PART OF THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION. FOR A LOT OF THEM. I DON'T KNOW THAT EXACT BUT YEAH, IF YOU'RE NOT FIRST RESPONDER, YOU MAY BE ASSIGNED TO DO SHELTER WORK. COKE. >>Councilmember Okimoto: HOW DOES THAT WORK? I'M ASSUMING DEM MAKES THE DECISIONS. DEPARTMENT HEADS YOU GET CALLED AND THEN DEPARTMENT HEADS THEN ASSIGNOR YOU GUYS DESIGNATE? ALREADY KNOW UP FRONT WAS GOING TO BE SHELTER WORKERS? >>Testifier: SO I THEY THERE'S WE'RE GOING TWO BACK I THINK ALL OF THAT AGENCIES, CLEARLY LAY IT ALL OUT. BUT THE WAY IT WORKED IN THIS LAST EVENT, IS YES, THE SHELTERS ARE OPEN. ACCORDING TO DEM. AND THEN THEY WORK WITH DHR KIND OF THE ORGANIZER AMONG THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. AND THIS THEN DEPARTMENT WOULD GET THE CALL AND DPP WOULD GET CALL SAW WE NEED TO STAFF, THESE SHELTERS AND THESE AREAS. WE NEED TWO PER AND SO WE WOULD SAY, OKAY, THEN INTERNALLY, WE FIGURE OUT WHO CAN DO IT AND PRESENT THOSE AS WE'LL TAKE THESE SHIFTS. >>Councilmember Okimoto: VERY INTERESTING. I THINK COUNCIL LOOKING INTO FUTURE BUDGET FOREL IN OUR DISTRICTS HUB, CERTAIN THINGS RELATE TO THESE TYPE OF J AMS. WITH SHIVES. MESSAGES WITH SHELTERS. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MOVING FORWARD WHAT ELSE WHEN WE DO TO SUPPORT R SOUNDS LIKE NEED TO BE TRAINING. YOU GUYS ARE THERE WITH WHEN SHELTERS ARE OPEN. IS THAT CORRECT? >>Testifier: THAT'S CORRECT. WE RUN THE SHELTERS. BASICALLY. OKAY OKAY WOW U OKAY. >>Councilmember Okimoto: >>Testifier: PARKS PLAYS BIG PART OF THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF SHELTERS ARE IN THEIR LOCATION. AT THEIR COMMUNITY CENTERS. SO THEY PLAY A MAYER PART AS WELL. MAJOR PART AS WE. >>Councilmember Okimoto: EVERY DEPARTMENT HAS TO HAVE DEATH DES INTERGOVERNMENTAL KNEE IT'S GO OUT THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND? >>Testifier: YEAH. FROM WE HEAR. ROTATION. DPP WE P MAN SHELTERS BOTH S STORMS VARIOUS LOCATION. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A SYSTEM WHERE EVERYONE KNEW WHO IS UP NEXT OR WHO IS GOING OUT. BECAUSE IF IS WERE A LONGTERM EVENT, WHERE WE, IT'S EXHAUSTING AND IT CAN'T BE JUST THE SAME STAFF. GOING OUT THERE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S FAIR. AND EQUITABLE. >>Councilmember Okimoto: O COMING FROM DINE-IN PARTS ISLAND HAVE TO GET TO THE SHELTER. THAT HOPEFULLY. >>Testifier: EXACTLY. >>Councilmember Okimoto: TON OWEEN TON OF THAT AT THE END, YOU WERE THEN ON TOP OF THAT, AT THE CAC HAD TABLES SET UP THAT IS THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF TRAINING OR YOU GUYS ARE THEN ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS, IS THAT CORRECT? >>Testifier: YEAH. , THAT'S JUST PROVIDING INFORMATION. SO THE CAC WAS IMMEDIATE FOR IMMEDIATE NEEDS. IMMEDIATE HOUSING. AND OTHER THINGS. PICKUP THEN REBUILD EVENTS ARE MORE LIKE LOOKING FORWARD, HOW AM I GOING TO GET BACK TO WHERE I WAS? OKAY THING SO MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRERCHGHTS. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. >>Chair Kia'aina: COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU ALOHA DIRECTOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. I DO TALK WITH SOME OF THE YOUR DPP WORK WORKERS MANY EMTHEM WALKED INTO WAIALUA RATE AFTER THE FLOODS. RIGHT AFTER FLOOD. THANK YOU GUYS. WALKED RIGHT AFTER. QUESTIONS FOR O OR THOUGHTS COULD BE SPECIFICITY WHAT REPORTING. KIND OF FELT LIKE COMPLETED STREET. OKAY, FROM THE SOCKETS DOWN, REPORT THAT. AFTER THEY COMPLETED TWO STREETS, NEVERMIND, NEVERMIND. FROM HERE DOWN, YOU GUYS GOT TO WRITE IT DOWN. JUST FINISHINGED THREE STREETS ALREADY. I KNOW IT WAS, ANOMALY WHAT HAPPENED. BUT IS THERE AN ACTUAL FORM LIKE SPECIFICITY OF WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOCUMENTING. SO THAT AS THEY GO OUT, IT'S VERY CLEAR. >>Testifier: YES. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. SO THERE ARE FARM FORMS DEM OR FEMA PROVIDED. THERE ARE FORMS, THAT IS ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED. I TOTALLY AGREE. THAT I WANT MY STAFF TO KNOW EXACTLY, WHAT THE STANDARDS ARE WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET BETTER BECAUSE OF THIS. SIT DOWN AND WRITE IT ALL OUT. I ALSO THINK THAT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, NOT JUST THE FEMA, WHAT FEMA IS LOOKING FOR, WHAT IS DPP LOOKING FOR? SO THAT WHEN IS TIME TO REBUILD, THAT MANY STEPS AHEAD. AND I KNOW THAT THERE WERE OTHER OHA AND HAWAIIAN COUNCIL THEY WANTED TO KNOW IS THIS NATIVE HAWAIIAN, OR ARE THESE NATIVE HAWAIIAN VICTIMS BECAUSE THERE'S RESOURCES FOR THEM. SO DEFINITELY A WAY THAT WE CAN BUILD OUT A CLEAR SURVEY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN ORDER TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE NEEDS AFTER THE STORM IS DONE AND REAR REBUILDING. >>Councilmember Tupola: GLAD YOU GOING TO BACK AND LEARN FROM THAT IN REGARDS TO DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS NUMBERS ARE GOOD. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE, I EUSM OFFII'M SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT AGAIN. COULD BE GEOGRAPHICAL MAP, WE KNOW MORE DAMAGE ON THE NORTH SHORE. BUT GIVING ACTUAL SNAPSHOT OF MAYBE THE NUMBER OF HOMES NO WAIANAE, IN MANOA, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF IT IS JUST HYPOTHETICAL. WHAT PEOPLE ARE HEARING ON THE NEWS. OR SOCIAL MEDIA. SOME OF IT IS CORRECT. SOME OF IT IS NOT. ACTUALLY PROBABLY THE MOST ACCURATE NUMBERS BECAUSE THEY THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT WERE TALKED TO DOOR-TO-DOOR. SO YOU WEREN'T GUESSING WHAT HAPPENED THERE. SO IF THERE COULD BE MAKE A GEOGRAPHIC MAP OF THIS. >>Testifier: YES. THE WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE IT. SHOULD ARE HE PRO VOID IT. HAVE A P MAY VOTE PROA VOIDED IT. MAPPING ALL THE DAMAGE. WE SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED DAMAGE PROPERTIES OR DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. YOU'RE RIGHT SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHERE THE WORST DAMAGE WAS. BASED ON THOSE ASSESSMENTS. WE CAN PROVIDE THAT. >>Councilmember Tupola: THAT COULD BE WOULD BE GREAT. GIVE TO CHAIR. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING IF IT LAIE. GREAT. I DO THINK ALSO SEVERE BUT A LITTLE BIT TOUGH BECAUSE WAIALUA WAS THE WORST. ALL THOSE RESOURCES NEEDED TO GO THERE. BUT JUST GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BROAD OVER SLEW OF THAT. OVERVIEW OF THAT.
