DEALING WITH A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR PROJECTS IN THE KEEAUMOKU AREA. BUT SO I GUESS I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IS THAT THE STANDARD NORM THAT YOU ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR FOUR MONTHS AND THEN NOW YOU'RE GOING TO DECREASE THE AGE? JUST SO ASKING WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR THOSE WHO 62 AND ABOVE, YOU CAN TELL ME THAT YOU ENDEAVOR TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE BUT IT'S BEEN ONLY FOUR MONTHS. >>Testifier: OUR PROPERTY MANAGER HAS BEEN DOING LOT OF OUT WHY REACH TO CONTACT SENIORS WHERE THEY ARE. I THINK WITH THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS SENIORS ARE HESITANT TO MAKE THE TRANSITION AND TO BE MOVING RESIDENTS. A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH SUBSIDIES AND FUNDING GOING ON. >>Chair Kia'aina: OKAY. CAN I ASK IF THIS, TO MOVE FORWARD, IN THE FUTURE, WHO FUTURE RENTERS, RENTAL UNIT. >>Testifier: YES. >>Chair Kia'aina: WERE TO COME IN, WOULD THOSEEL 62 AND OLDER HAVE PRIORITY OVER THOSE 52, BETWEEN 52 AND 55 AND 62? >>Testifier: WELL, WHAT THIS AMENDMENT DOES ALLOWS US TO SERVE BROADER SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY WHILE REMAINING SENIOR PROJECT. SO FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WERE APPLICANTS WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO BE QUALIFIED OR MOVE IN BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE, ONE SPOUSE MAY BE UNDER 62. AND THE CURRENT RULES ACQUIRE EVERY MEVMENT HOUSEHOLD TO BE 62 OR HOLD OMIDYARER REQUIRE EVERY MEMBER. OLDER. >>Chair Kia'aina: I UNDERSTAND THE FLEXIBILITY HIT THE 100% MARK. MY QUESTION IS IN THE FUTURE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE 62 IS THERE FOR A REASON. SOL ALL I'M TRYING TO STAY MOVING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THINGS, PEOPLE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY TO MOVE IN, WILL KNOWS WHO ARE 62 AND OVER GET A PRIORITY FOR FUTURER IN THE FUTURE FOR FUTURE RENTAL AVAILABILITY OVER THOSE BETWEEN 55 AND 62? THAT WAS MY QUESTION. >>Testifier: MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE FEDERAL RAYA QUIEWRMT IT'S THAT WE ARE-D&B REQUIREMENTS THAT WE ARE REQUIRE TO ADHERE TO, THE THAT IF WE ARE MAKING THIS CHANGE, THAT WE PROCEED HOW WE'VE DESCRIBED IT IN THE DOCUMENTS. WHICH IS 55 AND OLDER WOULD BE THE REQUIREMENT. >>Chair Kia'aina: I HAVE TOLD YOU DO HAVE CONCERNS OVER THAT BUS ABUSER TARGET AUDIENCE -- BECAUSE OUR TARGET AUDIENCE 62 AND ABOVE. NOT HITTING 100% AND YOU ONLY BEEN, OPEN FOR FOUR MONTHS, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE. BECAUSE 55 IS LOW FOR ME. AND SO ONE DAY WE COULD GET PEOPLE 55, AND THEY TAKE UP ALL THE SPOTS. AND THERE ARE NO AVAILABILITY FOR THOSE OLDER. THAT IS JUST MY COMPONENT. YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION. MY COMMENT. CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU. I DO THINK THAT WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO PRIORITIZE OLDER INDIVIDUALS, THAT WANT TO MOVE IN, THAT IF WE CHANGE THIS, WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY SAY, ANY JURISDICTION ANY PREFERENCE FOR OUR OLDER KUPUNA. BEFORE YOU GUYS CONSIDER CHANGING THE AGE, DID YOU CONSIDER OTHER FACTORS THAT COULD BE PROHIBITEDDING PEOPLE OREL POTENTIAL OBSTACLES OF PEOPLE RENTING SUCH AS I BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE DOING YEAR LEASES AND THEN AFTER YEAR LEASE YOU GUYS GO MONTH-TO-MONTH. I KNOW FOR SOME, ELDERLY, APPLIED FOR YOUR HOUSING, AT THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. OLDER. THEY'RE NOT SURE IF THEY WANT TO MOVE IN THERE FOR ONE YEAR. AND THEN FOR MONTH TO MONTHS, BE CONCERNED THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO BE MOVED OUT. SO BEFORE CONSIDERING THE AGE CHANGE, DID YOU GUYS CONSIDER MAYBE THE MODEL OF HOW YOU'RE DOING THE MANAGEMENT? >>Testifier: I'M NOT PROPERTY MANAGER. SO I DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE DETAILS. WE HAVE BEEN IN WE DO WANT TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. AND REI REDUCING THIS AGE DOES ALLOW US TO MAKE THE PROPERTY AVAILABLE TO MORE PEOPLE. WE'RE FINDING THAT GREAT NUMBER OF RESIDENTS 62 AND OLDER ARE STILL WORKING. AND THAT'S SIMILAR CHALLENGES TO PEOPLE WHO ARE 55. P HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS STRUGGLE TECHNOLOGY AFFORD RENT. >>Chair Kia'aina: I THINK. >>Councilmember Tupola: POINT I WAS TRY TRYING TO MAKE BEFORE WE CHANGE THE AGE, HAVE WE LOOKED INTO OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE DISCOURAGING PEOPLE FROM APPLYING, SUCH AS LIMITED LEASES, ONE YEAR LEASE AND SAYS IN THE CONTRACT, YOU WILL MOVE MONTH-TO-MONTH? SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. BECAUSE I THINK WE ARE TRYING TO DO THESE PROJECTS THAT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL FUNDING AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE NEED TO TRY EVERYTHING WE CAN DO BEFORE THEN WE SAY THAT OUR BEST MOVE IS NOW TO CHANGE THE AGE BECAUSE WE COULD ABOUT DO MANY OTHER THINGS. MAYBE IT'S AMENITIES. MAYBE CLUB THEY NEED. MAYBE SO I THINK LIKE HOW CHAIR STATE, THE STUDY PERIOD OF US STUDYING WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS WORKING OR NOT, HAS BEEN VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF MONTHS. SO THERE IS MANY OTHER FACTORS THAT WE COULD MOVE AROUND. TO SEE IF WE CAN IMPROVE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WANTS TO COME AND LIVE THERE. THAT ARE WITHIN THE RIGHT AGE. SO JUST FOR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Councilmember Waters: THANK YOU COMPLETE I TOO AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT FACT THAT ONLY GAVE IT FOUR MONTHS. WOULD IT BEING LOM E'O LOFNLG CAM ASSUMPTION THAT -- LODGE CANAL ASSUMPTION THERE -- LOGICAL ASSUMPTION THERE ISN'T NEED FOR HOUSING FOR OF 2 AND ABOVE IF YOU'RE SAYING 62 AND ABOVE IF YOU'RE SAYING YOU CAN'T FILL THESE? >>Testifier: LIKE MENTIONED BEFORE A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY GOINGEN WITH SUBSIDIES. IF SENIOR HAS A PLACE NOW, AND THEY HAVE SUBSIDIES IN PLACE, MAY BE UNWILLING OR AFRAID TO RISK LOSING THAT AND MOVING. IT TAKES MONEY TO HIRE, TO MOVE. THERE'S HAVE I COME UP WITH UHERWITHANOTHER DEPOSIT. SIGN OF THE TIMES. NOT NECESSARILY THAT THERE IS NO DEMAND. I THINK THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DEMAND. THINK JUST A PROBLEM OF PEOPLE UNDERSTANDING WHAT RESOURCES THEY HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM, RESOURCES THEY COULD RELY ON THE FUTURE AND A LOT OF THAT IS NOW NO LONGER GIVEN. >>Councilmember Waters: WE GETTER LOB AIDEN APPLICATIONS HERE FOR SENIOR HOUSING. ALL THE TIME. AND IF YOU CAN'T FILL THEM, I MEAN, MAIN WE SHOULD U SHOUSHOULDBE BUILDING TBROWTIONS INSTEAD OF SENIORS. EL BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IF YOU CAN'T FILL IT THAT'S BE PROBLEM. THANK YOU JUST A COMMENT. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO. >>Councilmember Cordero: THANK YOU. IT HI. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

AGE REQUIREMENT? >>Testifier: AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AGE REQUIREMENT IS ALSO TIED TO FEDERAL REQUIREMENT. SO FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST PROTECT CLASSES OF PEOPLE. AGE IS ONE OF THEM. FOR SENIOR PROJECT WE ARE ALLOWED TO COULD THAT BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL HOPA ANDEL IT TIES TO 55 IS STANDARD OF THAT REQUIREMENT AS WHEELIE WELL. AS WELL. NOT US ARBITRARYICALLY COMING UP WITH THE NUMBER. TIED TO OTHER STANDARDS. NOT US ARBITRARILY COMING UP WITH NUMBER.

HAS THERE AN BY STUDY LIKE THAT SURF. >>Testifier: NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. THHAS THERE BEEN A STUD LIKE THAT. >>Testifier: I CAN STUDY LIKE THAT. OTHER PROJECTS HAVE EITHER REQUESTED SIMILAR AGE REDUCTION OR ARE 55 AND SENIOR PROJECTS THIS IS NOT FIRST AND OWN ONE THAT IS ASKED FOR THAT. ONLY ONE. FOR EXAMPLE, HALE VIE SENIOR RESIDENTS. STARTED 66 AND ENCOUNTERED CHALLENGE LEASING UP. NOW AT 55. THERE IS KOKUA HALE ANOTHER RECENT PROJECT. IN THE SAME AREA. WE DON'T FEEL THAT'S EXACTLY COMPARABLE TO OUR PROJECT. THOSE ESPECIALLY KOKUA HALE HAS VERY MUCH SMALLER UNIT. MICROUNITS. THINK PARKING WAS WILLS VERY CON STRIBCONSTRAINED DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD. RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE IS 95 PRESIDENTIAL 95 PAD SO, IT'S VERY DIFFERENT FEEL. TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK IT HAS DIFFERENT DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE IS LLC MEHEULA I VISTA 55. ARTESIAN VISTA. ANOTHER RECENT PROJECT HALE MAKANA MOILIILI IS 55 AND OLDER. AND THERE'S A FEW OTHERS THAT ARE COMING UP. >>Councilmember Cordero: AND WAS THE AGE REQUIREMENT SET BY THE CITY'S RFP, OR WAS IT SET BY EAH WHEN YOU PARTNERED WITH THE CITY? >>Testifier: I BELIEVE TVRs CITY REQUIREMENT. >>Councilmember Cordero: INITIALLY CITY REQUIREMENT. I THINK MIGHT BE STRETCH FOR YOU O ANSWER, ALL OF THOSE PROPERTY T THAT YOU MENTIONED 55 AND OLDER, WERE THOSE REQUIRED BY THE CITY OR REQUESTED TO LOWER? HALE WAIOLU CHANGED. HOW ABOUT THE OTHER PROPERTIES, MEHEULA VISTA ALL THE OTHER ONES YOU MENTIONED,. >>Testifier: DON'T KNOW THE DETAILED HISTORY OF THOSE PROJECT. I THINK KOKUA HALE WAS A REQUEST TO BE LOWERED. AFTER LEASE UP. >>Councilmember Cordero: UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU. I DO HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS. FOR THE DIRECTOR. LATER ON. THANK YOU U. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO. ER IMPORTANT DIALOGUE. BECAUSE WE GET A LOT OF THESE THINGS COMING THROUGH. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT QUESTION. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK, IS IT POTENTIAL A LOT OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS COME HERE THAT HAVE X PERCENTAGE AT AN CERTAIN AMI FOR EXAMPLE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO REQUIRE THAT 70% OF ALL UNITS IN THE BUILDING, RIGHT NOW AT 72%. MUST BE FOR 62 OR OLDER, AND THAT THE REMAINING UNITS COULD BE 55? DO YOU KNOW IF THAT IS POSSIBLE? >>Testifier: WELL, I THINK IF YOU PUT OUT RFP, FOR THAT REQUIREMENT, I WILL SHARE THAT HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY TO, TO NOT HAVE THAT AS A HARD REQUIREMENT, GIVES THE PROPERTY MORE FLEXIBILITY TO OPERATE. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY HAVE THAT CONSTRAINT GOING FORWARD, AND FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO FILL A UNIT, THEN THAT REQUIREMENT WOULD CAUSE UNITS TO SIT VACANT RATHER THAN BEING ALLOWED TO BE RENTED TO SOMEBODY WHO MAY BE 56 AND LOOKING FORGIVE A PLACE. ABLE TO QUALIFY. LOOKING FOR A PLACE. >>Chair Kia'aina: I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND THE FLEXIBILITY. BUT IT'S POSSIBLE? DO YOU SEE WHAT MY FEAR IS? ONE DAY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE 62 AND GOING TO GET MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THAT BUILDING ARE 55 TO 62. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY? >>Testifier: >>Testifier: GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS MARIAN. ALSO WITH EAH HOUSING. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING I DON'T BELIEVE, I'M NOT A COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST BUT I DON'T BELIEVE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A 62 AND OLDER REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS 55 AND OLDER REQUIREMENT. LOOKED AT THE THIS ISSUE WITH OUR COMPLIANCE AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TMT. WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE DEFINITION FOR SENIOR HOUSING TEAM) REQUIRE YOU TO PICK ONE OR THE OTHER. HOWEVER, TO YOUR POINT, I THINK IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE WITH THIS AGE CHANGE TO 55 AND OLDER, INCLUDE A PREFERENCE FOR 62 AND OLDER. >>Chair Kia'aina: THAT'S WHAT I ASKED. THAT'S WHAT HIGHWAY ASKED. WHAT. MINUTES EARLIER. >>Testifier: WE'LL NEED TO COLLECTED IT WITH OUR COMPLIANCE TEAM. >>Chair Kia'aina: PROBLEM PROBLEMATIC. >>Testifier: THERE ARE CONCERNS BUT YOU THINK AS LONG AS WE HAVE MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT OF 55 AND OLDER, THAT ALLOW US TO FILL UNITS, DON'T SIT VACANT. ALONG WITH PREFERENCE FOR 62 AND OLDER, I THINK THAT SOLVES SOME OF YOUR CONCERNS. >>Chair Kia'aina: ABSOLUTELY. ECONOMY. I APPRECIATE THAT. OKAY I APPRECIATE THAT. TELL YOU, JUST BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU GUYS I'M NOT SO CONCERNED ABOUT MEETING ARTIFICIAL DEADLINE FOR 100%. I JUST FEEL THAT YOU GUYS NOT EVEN SIX MONTHS. AND IF THIS WAS ISSUE OF CONCERN, I FEEL THAT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE COME INTO TRY TO TALK TO SOME OF THE COUNCILMEMBERS BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR CLARIFICATION THERE. I KNOW WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE. CAN I COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO CAN I GO TO COUNCILMEMBER OKIMOTO FIRST? THEN WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO BOTH YOURSELF AS WELL AS COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. >>Councilmember Cordero: THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Councilmember Okimoto: THANK YOU EXPLANATION. I JUST WANT TO ASK, FROM YOUR UNDERSTANDING, WHAT IS THE AVERAGE RATE, AGE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT CURRENTLY RESIDE IN PROPERTY. >>Testifier: CURRENTLY 62 AND ABOVE. I DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE OCCUPANTINGS. IT'S OVER OF 262 OKAY FROM MY EXPERIENCE 79. HIGHER THAN 62 AND NOT CLOSER TO 55. 79 THE AVERAGE AGE. THAT'S CURRENTLY WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT TO BE. SO THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY I UNDERSTAND WE DON'T WANT TO VACANCIES I DO HAVE CONCERNS THAT CHANGING THE AGE THAT WE'RE GOING TO THEP LIMIT RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR THE 62 AND OLDER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOUR ARRANGE AGE IN THE UNIT DECREASE -- AVERAGE AGE IN THE UNITS ARE 79. SHOULD BE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO LIVE THERE, SOUNDS LIKE REASONS FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, THAT THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO,ING OR ABLE TO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT MOVING OVER, I JUST MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT ARE US DOING THIS, WE MAY THEN NOT HAVE UNITS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER NOT BEEN ABLE TO. I WAS ABLE ATTEND GROUND BREAK FOR THIS PROJECT. COMMUNITY WAS SKITED HISTORIC PIECE OF PROPERTY. EXCITED WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SUPPORT YOU RIGHT WAY. COUNCIL WANTS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING IT PROPERLY. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Chair Kia'aina: COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO. OR TUPOLA FIRST. EL TUPOLA I'LL GO FIRST THANK YOU SEX FOR THE COMMENTS MADE THUS -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE COMMENTS MADE. STILL ON THE WHOLE, LET'S TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN DO THE MANAGEMENT BETTER. ONE OF THE THINGS, THAT ONE OF THE RESIDENTS TOLD ME THAT LIVES THERE, FLORIDA TO GET A AC UNIT, IN ORDER, YOU HAVE TO GET A DOCTOR'S NOTE. GET APPROVED AND PUT IT IN. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE. ASKING THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE, SOMETIMES TYING TRYING TO FILL UNITS DON'T KNOW, I HAVE SO MANY NEW BUILDINGS IN EYE MY AREA. KAPOLEI. EVERY TIME SOMEBODY BUILDINGS SOMETHING NOW, WE HAVE IT CONSTANTLY LIKE, JUST LITTLE PORTIONS OF IT UNTIL WE CAN KIND GET FEMA PEOPLE BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. RESOLVE CONCERNS REALLY SOLVE BEING. THAT WAS MY QUESTION FOR YOU. RESOLVABLE. HAVE YOU DONE ANY TYPE OF SURVEY FOR PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T INTERESTED, OR THAT PEOPLE GAVE YOU YOU FEEDBACK WHY IT MT BE DIFFER. BROUGHT UP YEAR LEAST AND MONTH-TO-MONTH WAS NOT ADVANTAGEOUS FOR PEOPLE OLDER. NOT THAT MIGHT WANT TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING MORE PERMTS MAYBE IT'S AC. MORE PERMANENT. TAKEN INTO THAT CONSIDERATION. AFTERNOON SUN SUPER-HOT OVER THERE. SO WHAT ARE THE SURVEYS OR FEEDBACK MED-QUEST NIMPLETS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE -- MECHANISMS TO SEE START TO TWEAK THINGS TO MAKE IT AREA THAT IS LIKE AMENABLE AND RECOMMENDING FRIENDS, ALWAYS GOOD WHEN IT'S RECOMMENDED. SO PEOPLE ALWAYS DO THINGS WHEN THEIR FR FRIENDS OR FAMILY TELL THEM TO DO. DO YOU HAVE NAY RESPONSES. >>Testifier: PROPERTY MANAGER KEEPING TRACK OF REASONS WHY PEOPLE DON'T MOVE IN. SOMETIMES IT'S AGE. THERE'S A BUCKET FOR THAT. THAT IS FAMILY SITUATIONS, SOME PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AFTER EAR MEMBERS OF FAMILY. APPLY AND, SITUATIONS CHANGES. NOT ABLE TO, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSION THAT MOVE. THEY HAVE STAY WITH THEIR FAMILY. NOT ABLE TO MAKE E'O MAKE THE MOVE. CHIER NOT ONLY PEOPLE TAKE CARE. PEOPLE LOOKING AFTER THEM. SITUATION IT'S NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH A DEPOSIT A LOT OF DIFFERENT SITUATION. THTHAT ARE AREN'T NECESSARILY TS CAN HE WITH CHANGE. >>Vice Chair Waters: TUPOLA LOOKING FOR SUGGESTION PEOPLE GABE YOU ABOUT YOUR OWN MANAGEMENT. OBVIOUSLY EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES WE CAN'T CONTROL. IF THERE WAS ANY FEEDBACK THAT PEOPLE GAVE YOU GUYS ABOUT YOUR MANAGEMENT, I THINK THOSE ONES WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THOSE ONES ARE,. >>Testifier: PARTLY WHY WE'RE OFFERED, OFFERING THE CONCESSIONS THAT WE'RE OFFERING NOW. LEASE UP SPECIALS. TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WE HEARD. >>Councilmember Tupola: WITH THE NUMBER UNITS I KNOW VARIOUS OF THEM ARE LIKE 8 STUDIO, 30% BELOW, FIVE WONDER BEDROOMS, 30%. FIVE ONE BEDROOMS ANY TIME E'O PARTICULAR TIME OF UNIT THAT IS LESS, APPEALING THAN OTHERS. >> I KNOW IN MY DISTRICT, I HAVE A BUNCH OF THESE BUILDINGS UNITS EQUAL THIS. CERTAIN TYPE OF UNIT THAT WE NEVER CAN SELL. BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOBODY WANTS THAT PRICE. AND THAT AMOUNT OF BEDROOMS. HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY TYPE OF WE HAVE LIKE A LITTLE GRAPH THAT YOU GUYS GAVE US. ANY TYPE THAT IS JUST MAYBE NOT AS APPEALING? >>Testifier: WELL, STYTEDS STUDS WHAT'S AVAILABLE NOW. >>Councilmember Tupola: I SEE. STUDIO ONES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HARDER TO FILL. >>Testifier: ONES AVAILABLE NOW. >>Councilmember Tupola: GOOD NO KNOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU CHAIR. GOOD TO KNOW. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO,. >>Councilmember Cordero: THANK YOU. THIS MAY BE FOR BOTH. THANK YOU MARIAN FOR BEING HERE TOO. FOR DIRECTOR KEVIN AUGER. YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, I MENTIONED, VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE AIEA COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. OF COURSE,, THEY HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH EAH PROVIDED IN MARKETING. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PART OF THE OUT REACH AND REQUEST FOR HELP IS ALSO GOING TO DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT DO SUPPORT. AND HAS REPORT SUPPORTED THIS PROJECT. OF COURSE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS REQUEST WHEN IT WAS DEN DOUBLED ON THE AGENDA. ADDENDUMMEDMENT WITH YOU GUYS AT THE PROPERTY. JUST AT THE END OF THE YEAR. SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO KNOW SO THAT WE COULD PROPERLY REACHED OUT TO CLAIRE WOOD, AND CLAIRE AND EVERYONE TO REALLY -- CHAIR WOOD SO THAT THEY ALSO NEED HELP STEP UP IN SUPPORT, BECAUSE THIS IS AIEA'S GREATER VISION FOR AIEA TOWN CENTER. AND SO IF I DIDN'T KNOW, AND I LED SENATOR ELEFANTE AND REPRESENTATIVE KONG KNOW, DIDN'T KNOW, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST REALLY GREAT TO HAVE ALL HANDS ON DECK TO SHOW THAT MAYBE THE DISCUSSION THAT WEAR WE'RE HAVING RIGHT NOW, COULD HAVE HAD COMMUNITY COMING BEFORE COMING TO THE COUNCIL. SO ONCE AGAIN, MAYBE ACTING DIRECTOR TO DIRECTOR KEVIN AUGER, MAYBE THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT WE COULD HAVE HAD AS WELL. ED HAVE BRAWMENT. BROUGHT UP. THAT'S A CONCERN THAT WE'VE HAD FOR A WHILE. EN SURING THAT WE GET, THESE UNITS FILLED. BUT THERE SHOULD BE OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS THAT WE LOOK AT AND MAYBE WE, DIALS DOWN TO HOW OUR RFP'S ARE ISSUE INITIALD OUT SIT LEVEL. WHETHER IT BE 55 OR 62 YEARS OLD. CITY LEVEL. WE HAVE SEEN THAT WE DO OR OFFER THAT DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT THE CITY IT ON CITY LAND AND CITY PARTNERED. WE WANT TO NOTE THAT. I JUST WISH THAT MY COMMUNITY HAD MORE TIME. TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. I KNOW THAT YOU WENT TO DIRECTOR KEVIN AUGER IN NOVEMBER, I SAW YOU AFTER THAT. SO LET ME KNOW. I'M HERE. AND DIRECTOR KEVIN AUGER I WAS WITH YOU TOO. YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME KNOW TOO SO I COULD HAVE RESEARCHED O REACHED TOUTED OUT TO MY COMMUNITY. TRIED MY BEST AT AIEA NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD THIS WEEK HOW I GOT THESE QUESTIONS BUT WANTED TO, MAKE THAT PLEA AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP HAVING PLAY CATCH-UP AND BE OMENT DEFENSE. THANK YOU. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO. ANY OTHER MEMBERS BEFORE I MAKE MY RECOMMENDATION? BECAUSE WE ARE IN A DISCUSSION. GIVEN THE QUESTIONS WHICH I BELIEVE RAT LUNGWORM WARNED AND LACK -- ARE WARRANTED LACK OF NUI TIME FOR ANY MEMBERS TO CONSIDER IT. CHAIR RECOMMENDS THAT ACTION RESOLUTION, 26-6 BE POSTPONED NOEL FEBRUARY 5, 2025, -- AT 9:00 A.M. ANY DISCUSSION? ANY OBJECTIONS IT OR RESERVATIONS? AM I CORRECT? IT'S FEBRUARY 5, CORRECT? OKAY. SO ANY DISCUSSION? ANY OBJECTIONS OR RESERVATIONS? HEARINGNONE SO ORDERED. HEARING NONE SO ORDERED. THANK YOU SO MUCH. EL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 14. INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING. NUMBER 4. PRESENTATION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PERMITTING ON CIVIC CHECK. NEW AYE GUIDED SOFTWARE DECIDED TO PRECHECK RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION. CIV CHECK. JOINING DAWN APUNA. DIRECTOR OF DIRECTOR PLANNING AND PERMITTING. WHO WILL BE PROVIDING BRIEF PRESENTATION ON CIV CHECK FOR YOUR INFORMATION, PRESENTATION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AS MAS U LACE MAIN JUST COMMUNICATION -- MISCELLANEOUS COMMUNICATION 282026. >>Testifier: THANK YOU CHAIR THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE INFO BRIEFING ON CIV CHECK NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USED IN THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS. REVIEW PROCESS. SERVE COLLECTED YOU ACROSS COUNTRY BIGGEST JON RYAN GET DELAYED PERMITTING PROCESS. INCOMPLETES OR INCONSISTENCY COMMISSION. WHEN APPLICATION IS MISSING INFORMATION, SUBMISSION. DOESN'T QUITE LINE WITH WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES R GETS SET HE CENT BACK FOR ADDITIONAL REVISION. OFTEN, THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE CONSTRUCTION CAN EVEN BEGIN. CIVCHECK BUILT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AT ITS CORE FOR BOTH APPLICANTS AND CITIES. WITH CIVCHECK GUIDE AYE PLAN REVIEW SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS ARE QUALITY CHECKED BEFORE THEY EVER REACH CITY REVIEWER. THAT MEANS FEWER SURPRISES, FAST R A OF PROS FASTER AFTER PROBING PERMITTING PROCESS FASTER C CLEARER MORE PREDICABLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. TO BEGIN, CIVCHECK WALKS APPLICANTS THROUGH STRUCTURED PRECHECK PROCESS THAT WILL MIRRORS HOW THE CITY REVIEWS THEIR PERMITS. PLATFORM STARTS AT PERMIT INTAKE. VEER FAYE FORMS AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTS VERIFYING FORMS CONTINUES THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW ACROSS ALL TRIGGERED REVIEW DISCIPLINES. APPLICANTS ARE GUIDED THROUGH WHAT INFORMATION TO INCLUDE AND WHERE. MISSING OR INCORRECT INFORMATION, SR FLAGGED IMMEDIATELY. APPLICANTS LEARN WHAT THE CITY EXPECTS WHY IT MATTERS AND HOW TO FIX ISSUES IN REAL TIME. THIS REDUCES CONFUSION. FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS AND ONE NECESSARY BACK AND FORTH WITH CITY STAFF. CIVCHECK COVERS MORE THAN 95% OF CHECKS COMMONLY APPLIED TO PROJECTS AND REFLECTS CITY'S LATEST CODES AND PROCESSES. AI USED TO FULL A OFFICER SIDE AND HUMANLY EXPERTISE. HERE OVER SIDE. MORE PREDICABLE EXPERIENCE. APPLICANTS CAN SUBMIT WITH CONFIDENCE KNOWING PERMIT IS COMPLETE, COMPLIANCE E'O COMPLIENTD AND READY FOR REVIEW. COMPLIANT. FOR CITER CIVCHECK ACCELERATE PERMIT PROCESSING WITHOUT REAR PLACE HUMANLY JUDGMENT OR EXPERTISE. REPLACING. BY THE TIME APPLICATION CONTINUES CITY WORK FLOW, CIVCHECK ALREADY GUIDED THE AMOUNTED E'O APPLICANT TO VERIFY REQUIRED DOCUMENTS. HIGHLIGHT KEY INFORMATION ON THEONTHE PLANS RESOLVE ISSUES. PLAN REVIEWERS NO LONGER HAVE TO SPEND TIME IDENTIFYING BAKES ERRORS OR BASIC ERRORS OR MISSING INFORMATION. QUICKLY VALIDATE APPLICANTS' WORK AND FOCUS THEIR EXPERTISE WHERE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT TRULY MATTERS. AS CODES AND STANDARDS CHANGE, CIVCHECK UPDATE ACCORDINGLY. THEN VIEWERS APPLICANTS AND REVIEWERS ARE ALWAYS WORKING FROM THE SAME CURRENT SET REQUIREMENTS. REDO REI DEUCING INCONSISTENCY AND INTERPRETATION GAPS. REDUCE. FASTER REVIEWS LESS ROW WORK AND MORE PERMITS PROCESSED ANNUALLY. LESS REWORK. IMPACT OF CIVCHECK IS MEASURABLE AND SIGNIFICANT. ON AVERAGE, PLAN REVIEW TIMES ARE REDUCED BY 70%. IN OUR PARTNER CITIES. >> REVIEWS ONCE TOOK OVER AN HOUR, NOW TAKE AS LITTLE AS 15 MINUTES WITH THE SAME LEVEL OF CITY OVERSIGHT AND EACH PERMIT GOES THROUGH UP TO FOUR FEWER REVIEW CYCLES. SNEES IMPROVEMENTS TRANSLATE DIRECTLY INTO FASTER HOUSING DELIVERY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MORE EFFICIENT USE OF CITY RESOURCES AND MORE TRANSPARENT PROCESS. CIVCHECK ENABLES CONSISTENT APPLICATIONS OF CITY RULES, FOOD WASTER AND MORE PREDICABLE OUTCOMES, GREATER TRANSPARENCY AROUND F FAIRNESS STRONGER TRUST IN THE PERMITTING PROCESS. >>Testifier: NOW WE CAN JUST QUICKLY GO THROUGH OUR POWERPOINT. HOPEFULLY THAT VIDEO GAVE YOU REALLY QUICK UNDERSTANDING OF CIVCHECK. SO DEFINITELY PUT INTO PLACE TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF OUR PERMITTING GOALS. ONE OF WHICH SPEED UP PERMIT ISSUE WABS AND CUT THE OVERALL TIME FROM INITIAL SUBMISSION TO APPROVAL. ISSUANCE. SECOND GOAL MAKE THE PERMIT PROCESS EASIER TO NAVIGATE. REDUCE THE INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS, REWORK AND REPEAT REVIEW CYCLES. AND CREATE EFFICIENT MEMGHT ODD PROCESSING PLAN ADEQUACY, PRIOR TO FULL PLAN REVIEW. METHOD, JR. AND NUMBER 3, EQUIP STAFF TO S SUCCEED. ENHANCE STAFF CO EXRATS. IMPROVE TOOLS AND TRAINING. TOOLS AND TRAINING. CAPACITY. PROBLEM THAT, CIVCHECK IS MEANT TO ADDRESS, IS PERMITTING TAKING TOO LONG. RECEIVE POOR QUALITY SUBMISSIONS MISSING DOCUMENTATION, MISSING INFORMATION, AROUND CODE ISSUES RESULT IN THREE TO SIX REVIEW CYCLES OR MORE. THE REVIEWING OF PLANS IS COMPLEX. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT APPLIES TO THE PROJECT. WHERE IS THE RELEVANT INFORMATION ON PLANS. AND IS THIS INFORMATION SUFFICIENT. AND COMPLIANCE U COMPLIANT. SO THIS ISEL PROPOSEDEL SOLUTION AND BASIC TYPE LINE HOW IT ALL HEAPE HAPPENED. 2024 MOVED COMPLETELY OVER TO ePLANS OR ELECTRONIC PLANS FROM PAPER WHICH WAS KIND OF PRELIMINARY SETBACK. NEEDED TO HAPPEN. AND 2025, AS YOU KNOW, WE I AM PLEATED HNL BUILD, IMPLEMENT HE HAD CLARITY SOLUTION. TO REPLACE OUR POSSE SYSTEM AND IN LATE 2025, WE WERE ABLE TO LAUNCH CIVCHECK AS THE PRECHECK AND PLAN REVIEW PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION. CIVCHECK GUIDED AI PLAN REVIEW, AI ASSISTED PERMIT PREPARATION FO APPLICANTS BEGINS PRIOR TO SUBMISSION FOR BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION. AND IT ALSO WORKS ON DPP SIDE AS COPILOT FOR PLAN REVIEW YOU AVES. WHICH HELPS TO GUIDE STAFF AND TO PROVIDE SOME TRAINING. PLAN REVIEWERS. THIS IS OUR IMPLEMENTSATION PLAN. COMPLETED PHASE 1 THAT WAS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL IF PERMITS MODULE. THAT SINGLE AND TWO FAMILY PROJECTS. WE WENT LIVE IN NOVEMBER. OF LAST YEAR. AND NOW, WE'RE WORKING ON DEVELOPMENT WITH CIVCHECK FOR PHASE II. FOR COMMERCIAL PERMIT MODULES. AND THAT IS SET TO GO ALOHAIVE IN SUMMER-D&B GO LIVE SUMMER 2026 FOR COMMERCIAL ACTUALLY, ALL COMMERCIAL PROJECTS BUT IT WILL HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICATIONS COME IN AS COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE. RESIDENTIAL MODULE ALREADY IN PLACE, WAS IMPLEMENTED UNDER 20 WEEKS. IT DEGREINGS SINGLE FAMILY, TWO FAMILY, DUPLEX, ADU, ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION. IT ADDRESSES, ADDITION AND ALTERATIONS. IT LOOKS AT MORE THAN 245 REGULATIONS OR CHECKS AND IT SPANS OVER 8 DIFFERENT REVIEW GROUPS. SUCH AS RESIDENTIAL CODE, AND TRAFFIC, ET CETERA. SO IT SUPPORTS MORE THAN 45 REVIEWERS. NENE OWN RIGHT, SHOWS YOU THE DIFFERENT REVIEW GROUPS AND STORMWATER, WASTEWATER, FIRE, TRAFFIC. THIS IS JUST SOME FEEDBACK FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE USING CIVCHECK. VIDEO MENTIONED SEEN 78% REDUCTION IN REVIEW TIME BASED ON CIVCHECK. AND THAT IS TO OUR VERY QUICK PRESENTATION. RIGHT NOW, WE SINCE WE OPENED IT UP TO THE PUBLIC, ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, WE RECEIVED 17 APPLICATIONS. THOSE ARE STILL IN PROCESS MUCH AND IT'S GOOD TIME FOR US TO LOOK AT WHAT IS HOLDING IT BACK. SO NOVEMBER, BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS. AND SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE HOLDING UP THESE PROJECTS ARE SOMETIMES THE PAYMENT ISN'TPROVIDE QUICKLY OR IF MIGHE OTHER AGENCY REVIEWS. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THEY SEEM TO BE GOING VERY QUICKLY THROUGH PRESCREEN. JUST ONE REVIEW, WHICH IS MAJOR CHANGE WHERE PEOPLE KIND OF GET CAUGHT UP IN THE PRESCREEN. WE ALSO DID PRESCREEN BACKLOG FOR A BIT. BUT THE APPLICATION JUST FOR PRESCREEN ALONE SEEM TO BE WELL DONE. AND THEN WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT NOW, EVALUATING HOW IT'S GOING THROUGH THE REST OF THE REVIEW. AND JUST KIND OF LETTING THINGS SHAKE OUT. AND MAKE SOME CHANGES BASED ON THAT. FROM THERE, WE ONCE WE HAVE EVERYTHING SETTLED WE WILL MAKE IT MANDATORY REVIEW FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION OF THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS. WHICH WE THINK WILL DEFINITELY SHOW GREAT VAST IMPROVEMENT IN REVIEW TIMES AND HOPEFULLY, ONE REVIEW CYCLE MAY BE TWO, AT MOST, SO THAT IS MY PRESENTATION. AND I'M OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU DIRECTOR. FOR NOW, IT'S RESIDENTIAL AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE NOOSERRI PHO OF TO GO COMMERCIAL. >>Testifier: BY SUMMER. >>Chair Kia'aina:? NO. OF MONTGOMERY COMMERCIAL. >>Chair Kia'aina: ON THE RESIDENTIAL, WITH REGARD TO THE MOVING TO COMMERCIAL. NEW ALLOW ALLOW YOU BOTH ADU AND OHANA UNIT O TON OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO UN UTE LIES THIS AS WELL. >>Testifier: CORRECT. UTILIZE THIS AS WELL. >>Chair Kia'aina: COULD POSSIBLY BE THREE UNITS BUT IT MEETS THE CONFINES OF ELIGIBILITY? >>Testifier: YES. >>Chair Kia'aina: OKAY. MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS? CHAIR WATERS. >>Councilmember Waters: THANK YOU GOOD MORNING DIRECTOR. IN LOOKING AT YOUR SLIDE DECK, PHASES ONE RESIDENTIAL MODEL, SLIDE, COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE? ON THE RIGHT-HAND, IT SAYS, REVIEW GROUP. AND THEN YOU HAVE PERMIT INTAKE, RESIDENTIAL AND LAND USE. ZONING, STORMWATER QUALITY. BOARD OF WATERED SUPPLY. WASTEWATER. FIRE AND TRAFFIC. RNTSDZ, COME UP, NUMBER RIGHT-HAND COLUMN NUMBER OF CHECKS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT LITTLE MORE DETAIL WHAT THIS IS? >>Testifier: SURE. SO FOR TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL PROJECT, THESE REVIEW GROUPS ARE THE GROUPS THAT WOULD LOOK AT THAT PROJECT. AND NUMBER OF CHECKS AS WELL AS LIKE CODE REQUIREMENTS, FOR EACH OF THOSE GROUPS, THAT'S A TYPICAL NUMBER OF CHECKS. SO FOR PERMIT INTAKE THAT IS ON THAT WOULD BE LIKE PRESCREEN AS WELL AS ALL THE DOCUMENTATION. THAT'S REQUIRED. THAT WOULD ALL BE REQUIRED ABOUT 102 DIFFERENT ITEMS. UNDER RESIDENTIAL LAND USE, ABOUT 68 DIFFERENT CODE RELATED REQUIREMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MET. ET CETERA. >>Councilmember Waters: INTERESTING. CIVCHECK SAY JUST FOR PERMIT INTAKE, 102 CHECKS. HAUPU E'O H HOW MANY OF THOSE 1E BY CIVCHECK? >>Testifier: ACTUALLY ALL OF THESE. >>Councilmember Waters: ALL OF THEM. >> I'M SORRY. PRESCREEN IS KIND OF, THING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME. WITH THE BACKLOG, FOR M MOOT -- FORMATING. CIVCHECK PREREVIEW TWO DIFFERENT THINGS BUT IT DOES COVER PRESCREEN I MEAN, CIVCHECK COVERS PRESCREEN. SO THESE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT CHECKS THAT CIVCHECK MAKES SURE IS ALREADY FULFILLED BEFORE IT SUBMITTED BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION. >>Councilmember Waters: I SEE. DO THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS STILL HAVE TO BE TRANSMITTED TO SAY BOARD OF WATER SUPPLY OR FIRE DEPARTMENT? >>Testifier: THEY DO. BUT P WE'RE BASED ON PRECHECKS AND BASICALLY CERTIFIED BY CIVCHECK, THERE SHOULDN'T BE IT SHOULD YOU BEING QUICK REVIEW. >>Councilmember Waters: NICE. I KNOW IN THE PAST, THAT COULD HAVE ADDED ON TO THE PERMITTING TIME. WHEN IT WAS TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE DPP TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT. SO HOW MANY OF THESE REVIEW GROUPS ARE ACTUALLY IN YOUR OFFICE, I MEAN, OBVIOUS BOARD OF WATER WATER SUPPLY IS IT NOTR OFFICE OR FIRE. WHAT IS THE TRAFFIC REVIEW AND WHAT IS THE WASTEWATER REVIEW? >>Testifier: WEARTSDZ AND WASTEWATER AND TRAFFIC ARE WITHIN DPP. THAT IS JUST BASIC CHOKES. CHECD IF THEY WOULD BE REROUTED TO DIFFERENT RANCH BRANCHES FOR REVIEW. DIFFERENT BRANCHES. RELATED TO THAT LOOKING AT, HOW CIVCHECK IS OPERATING AND WE NOTICE FOR EXAMPLE, EXIST STORMWATER SEEMS TO BE A CHECK THAT MAY BE WE MAY BE ABLE TO HAVE CIVCHECK KIND OF CHECK FOR. RATHER THAN COMING THROUGH. IT SEEMS TO BE STANDARD ONE THAT IS COMING UP. SO THIS IS B PART OF PROCESS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE SHAKE OUT AND WHAT WE COULD DeREESE ADDADDRESS AND STREAMLINE MORE. STORMWATER CHECK, COME BACK WITH THIS. AND OUR WHOLE GOAL IS TO JUST MAKE ONE REVIEW CYCLE. SO WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE STEPS WHERE IT'S GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY REQUIRE SECOND REVIEW CYCLE. SO THINGS LIKE THAT, WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT AND WORKING ON AND TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT. >>Councilmember Waters: OBVIOUSLY, THIS WOULD NEED A STORMWATER CHECK. FOR A NEW CONSTRUCTION. BUT IF YOU'RE DOING LIKE A BATHROOM OR KITCHEN, DO YOU STILL NEED TO GET THE STORMWATER CHECK DONE? >>Testifier:EL GENERALLY I DON'T THINK YOU TO DO. IF YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO THE SURFACES, OUTSIDE OF THE ESTABLISHED FOOTPRINT, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU DO. SO IT JUST DEPENDS. >>Councilmember Waters: OKAY. TERRIFIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU CHAIR. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. KAMAMALU PARK. >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNCILMEMBER TUPOLA. EL I HAVE FEW QUESTIONS THANK YOU CHAIR WATERS. I'M ON THE NUMBERS PAGE. WITH THE PERMIT INTAKE AT 1020, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN CONSOLIDATE GET THIS NUMBER DOWN FROM 102 TO LESSER SOME OF THEM OUTDATED MAYBE CHECK DON'T NEED TO CHECK ANY MORE. WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS THERE? >>Testifier: WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT THOSE, THAT IS. IT IS A LOT. I THINK IT ALSO SPEAKS TO JUST THE COMPLEXITY OFFER PROJECTS. TO SOME EXTENT. THERE'S JUST MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, LOOKING AT, AT LEAST 11, PRESCREEN ITEMS. AND PROBABLY JUST DOCUMENTATIONEL FOR OTHER THINGS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS. BUT I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. >> THIS IS THE TIME AND OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS. SEE IF WE CAN DOWNSIZE THOSE NEW OF NUMBER OF CHECKS. >>Councilmember Tupola: IT SOME MIGHT BE DUPLICATIVE OR BACK IN THE DAY 'WE USED TO, DO DON'T NEED TO DO THAT NOW. GET OUR NUMBERS DOWN HELPING AU OURSELVES NOW. CHECKING LESS THINGS THAT BEFORE WE CHECKED DON'T NEED TO DO NOW. OTHER QUESTION IN REGARD, I ALSO THINK IS SAVVY WAY OF DOING IT BECAUSE THERE IS BEFORE YOU SUBMIT. ALMOST LIKE GOING TO A TUTOR. OR GETTING SOMEONE TO LOOK AT YOUR PAPER BEFORE YOU TURN YOUR PAPER IN. WE WANT PEOPLE TO GET FEEDBACK, SO THAT THEY'RE NOT STUCK IN THE ETERNAL LOOP OF PERMITTING. THIS IS GOOD. HOWEVER, I THINK HNL BUILD GUY SWITCHED OVER, THIS IS SEPARATE, TRYING TO SAY USE THIS, SO YOU CAN PREPARE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU ENTER HN ALL RIGHT. BUILD, SO WITH THE HNL BUILD AND THE VERY SPECIFIC -- LRF, WITH THE SOLAR INDUSTRY, RELATIONSHIP HAD TO REROUTE THEM AROUND THE HNL BUILD, SOMETHING THEY COULDN'T USE, HOW IS THAT ALL GOING TO WORK OUT O I'M SORRY FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I KNOW IT'S NOT CIVCHECK. AFTER YOU GET THROUGH THIS, PLY ISSUES PEOPLE ARE STILL LIKE HNL BUILD. DIFFICULT FOR ME. DOESN'T HAVE THIS, THAT. IT'S NEW. I KNOW IT'S I BELIEVE S SALES FORCE TOOL YOU'RE USE. GIVE ME INSIGHT THERE. >>Testifier: SURE. I THINK THAT WAS DEFINITELY PART OF PROCESS FOR EXAMPLE. SOLAR INDUSTRY BECAUSE WE DID HAVE AUTOMATIC INSTANCE SOLAR PERMIT, WE WORKED THROUGH THAT. AND AGAIN, THAT IS PART OF PROCESS. >> IMPLEMENT IT. AND YOU RENT IT AND THINGS START TO SHAKE OUT. YOU RUN IT. WE ADDRESS IT. EVEN THAT SOLAR WE ADDRESSED IT'S AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN IT WHAT IT WAS WITH POSSE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF CONTINUING REFINEMENT. THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THESE RESOLUTION LIKE THAT WITH HNL BUILD AND CIVCHECK. >>Councilmember Tupola: PERFECT. I LIKE CODES YOU HAVE. I DO GET A LOT OF YOUR DPP WORK, CONTACTING ME TELLING ME WHAT IS HARD, WHY ARE WE DOING THIS. REROUTE THEM OR SOMETIMES PERTINENT BRING IT IN UP IN MY DISCUSSION Ind WHAT MAKE SURE WHATEVER WE DO EASY FOR THE DPP WORKERS. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO MAKE THEIR LIVES WORSE BECAUSE WE DO ALREADY HAVE BACKLOG OF PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T GET TO HAVE THIS HELP BEFORE. SO I THINK ANY TIME YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT, LIKE HEY, IT'S WORKING FOR OUR STAFF. SAID IT'S EASIER. I DON'T WANT US TO PASSING LAW OR DOING THINGS MORE LABORIOUS OR CONFUSION. ALL NEED TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE. >>Testifier: T TOTALLY AGREE. STAFF AS MUCH AS WE CANEN EMPOWER THEM AND MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR THEM IS OUR GOAL. >>Councilmember Tupola: THANK YOU. >>Chair Kia'aina: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER OKIMOTO. >>Councilmember Okimoto: THANK YOU CHAIR. GOOD MORNING DIRECTOR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO AND FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. REALLY GRATEFUL. THIS HAS NOT BEEN EASY TRANSITION. I HAVE FAITH THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING YOUR BEST. I WANT TO SAY, MY OFFICE STILL GETS CONSTITUENT COMPLAINTS CONCERNS THAT THIS IS NOT HELPING THEM PROCESS TIMES ARE STILL VERY LENGTHY. HASN'T SEEMED TO THEM. HELP ME UNDERSTAND IT OR MY OFFICE CAN DO, WHAT IS THE DISCONNECT, WHAT IS THE ISSUES AND WE CAN HELP WITH THE PROCESS AS WELL. >>Testifier: THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. I WAS SURPRISED THAT WE ONLY GOTTEN IT 17 SINCE NOVEMBER, 17 APPLICATIONS FOR CIVCHECK. MOST OF OUR BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS ARE RESIDENTIAL. AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT A LOT OF DESIGNERS AND PROFESSIONALS OUT THERE, THAT THEY TAKE A GO-TO OUR WEBSITE, IT'S UNDER LITTLE DROP DOWN, UNDER ON OUR HOME PAGE AND THERE'S A CIVCHECK AND THEY CAN REGISTER AND THEY CAN TRY IT OUT. THERE'S NO OBLIGATION. NO COST. BUT IT WILL GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMITTED THROUGH THAT THE PROCESS AT LEAST SEE HOW IT WORKS. THEY'RE NOT COMMITTED EVEN IF THEY RUN THEIR PLANS THROUGH IT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO FORWARD BUT I THINK IT WILL REALLY OPEN THEIR EYES TO HOW IT TOOL CAN BENEFIT THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THEIR CUSTOMER. SO AGAIN, IT'S AT SOME POINT MANDATORY, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE TRY IT OUT. THIS IS THE ONE PARTS OF OUR OVERALL TECHNOLOGY THAT GAME CLAIMINGER THAT WE BELIEVE WILL HELP, GAME CHANGE NOT HELP JUST APPLICANTS DESIGNERS BUT THE, OUR STAFF TOO. OKAY THANK YOU FOR THAT. DOUBLE CHECK ON NUMBERS. I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO USE CIVCHECK AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS STILL HASN'T BEEN EASIER OR MORE FI EFFICIENT. DO ON, AND STILL SAYING THERE'S ISSUES WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? >>Testifier: LET US KNOW. WE'RE WILLING TO LOOK AT SPECIFIC PROJECTS. IT DOES FEEL LIKE IT TAKES LONGER OBVIOUSLY TO PREPARE YOUR APPLICATION WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH CIVCHECK. BUT THAT I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. PUT IN ALL THE GOOD WORK, LODGE WORK IN THE BEGINNING, AND LONG WORK IN THE BEGINNING GO MUCH FASTER THROUGH THE REGULAR PROCESS. PLEASE, LET US NO AND WE CAN REACH OUT AND JUST SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE DO BELIEVE THIS IS WORKING. BUT THERE MIGHT BE SOME ISSUES WITH JUST THE HOW APPLICATION PROCESS AND LIKE I SAID, DURING THIS TIME TRYING TO JUST ADDRESS ALL OF THESE LITTLE THINGS TO MAKE IT RUN SMOOTHLYEL. >>Councilmember Okimoto: BEST WAY TO IS CALL OR EMAIL? WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET HELP? FROM YOUR OFFICERS. >>Tes -- FROM YOUR OFFICE.>>Tes. THEY CAN EMAIL JUST OUR HNL BUILD. EMAIL. ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW. HNL BUILD WA*T HONOLULU.GOV. REROUTE AND IT LOOK AT SPECIFIC ISSUES. @HONOLULU.GOV. >>Chair Kia'aina: PREPARATION NEXT MONTH'S HEARING PROBABLY, WANT TO SEE UPDATE ON THE PERMITTING PROCESSES LIKE WE NORMALLY DO. THANK YOU SOISM. >>Testifier: THANK YOU. >>Chair Kia'aina: PROCEED WITH PUBLIC TESTIMONY. THANK YOU SO MUCH CLERK ANY IN-PERSON TESTIFIERS? ,. >>Council Clerk: CHAIR, THERE ARE NONE. >>Chair Kia'aina: DO WE HAVE ANY REMOTE TESTIFIERS. >>Council Clerk: CHAIR, WE HAVE ANGELA STANDING BY. >>Chair Kia'aina: ANGELA PLEASE PROCEED. >>Testifier: THANK YOU CHAIR. ER KEEP IT SHORT. WANT TO SAY I'M IN SUPPORT. OF THIS SOFTWARE PROGRAM. AND SO BECAUSE AI FUNCTIONS INTEGRATES DATA, PROVIDE OBJECTIVE FEEDBACK FREE FROM MOTION AND PL PREJUDICE INEINEQUALITY RESULT. EL QUALITY RESULTS. A.MASME CAA.M. A.MCANAL APPLICA. PUSH FORWARD, ABOUT DRAILINGING ON THE PROCESS FIRST STAGE OF ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. DRAGGING ON THE PROCESS.
