Bynum, Committee Chair, requesting that the Director of Parks and Recreation, Director
of Planning, and the County Engineer be present to provide an update on the short-term
and long-term efforts to address the drainage issues at Po`ipu Beach Park.
Mr. Bynum: Do staff know if the Planning Director or somebody
from Planning Department is available? Maybe we should move this to a different part of
the agenda?
Mr. Furfaro: I don't think there is much left of the agenda to tell
you the truth Mr. Bynum. You want to move on to another item in your Committee?
Mr. Kawakami: Why don't we go eat lunch, because I'm hungry.
Mr. Bynum Can we move to the next item and because we're
going to... Can you read the next item?

[This item was deferred.]
Ms. Simao: PWE 2009-3 Communication (7/22/2009) from Tim
Bynum, Committee Chair, requesting that the Mayor and County Engineer be present to
provide an update on the status of all CIP projects.
Mr. Bynum: Let me just say that it's my intention to ask for a
deferral of this matter with an explanation. Prior to that I want to see if there's anyone in
the audience that intended to testify on the matter? Seeing none, this is a communication
from myself to the Administration to do a review of CIP projects; I've been in dialog with
them for some time because of key members being off island and also a request for some
information in writing that we haven't received yet. There was a request from them to
wait 2 more weeks and this is an important matter that... and plus I was going to ask for
a deferral anyway because I believe Councilmember Kaneshiro would be an important
person to be involved in this as well so for those reasons is there any further discussions?
Councilmember Kawakami.
