The Commission received public testimony Abby Santos regarding the Salt Pond Beach Park expansion. Ms. Santos stated that they have been talking to the State about closing the West end of the air strip and utilizing it for parking. She noted that people are currently driving up to the beach causing erosion and she said that the impacts from the ocean are going to get worse. She stated that they spoke to the County about fencing off the area, but it would have to be a community effort. She referenced the State Ordinance that prohibits driving on the beach, but noted that it is not enforced. Commissioner Souza stated that the Commission has been interested in Salt Pond Park and the Puolu Point area. She stated that they are proposing changes to the law to expand the scope of the Commission to include concerns such as Puolu Point that is a native plant habitat. She stated that the Commission is currently charged with making recommendations to the Council on how the Open Space fund should be used. She stated that the expansion of the beach park has been a recommendation for the past several years. She stated that they would be discussing a draft report that would be submitted from the Planning Department to the Council for special attention that includes the Salt Pond Park expansion. Commissioner Ventura stated that their current mandate is to put forth annual Commission recommendations to the Council with regard to using the Open Space fund. She said that she is from the North Shore, but was recently at Salt Pond Park on the weekend and noted that it was very busy. She stated that the County is currently working on a parks master plan, and her impression is that the community is very supportive and understands the cultural significance of the salt pans. She stated that if a couple of groups could champion the cause, it my help to encourage the County to take action. Chair Kinnaman noted that the airstrip would be under the State DOT jurisdiction. 2 Ms. Santos stated that they spoke with the DOT and they thought it was a good idea. She stated that when the waves are high, they wash onto the airstrip. Chair Kinnaman stated that the Commission's proposal was for expansion mauka and westward for fishing, parking and camping. Ms. Santos stated that anything to expand the park would be wonderful. She stated that there are a lot of sewage problems and there are still campers there.

Commissioner Ventura also noted a correction to the second sentence in the second to the last paragraph from "She stated that the purpose would be that the opportunities are not straight forward and she felt that the complexities driving the dossiers should be emphasized" to "She stated that the purpose would be that the opportunities are fairly complex". MOTION: It was moved by Jean Souza and seconded by Johanna Ventura to defer approval the 2/24/11, 3/10/11, and 3/24/11 meeting minutes. All were in favor by unanimous voice vote — motion passed. ANNOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) Ms. Sadora announced that the Hawai'i Congress of Planning Officials (HCPO) conference will be on Wednesday, September 21 through September 23 at the Hyatt. She said the theme is going to be healthy living. She stated that she is assisting with the planning process for the mobile workshops and they are welcoming input form the Open Space Commission. Commissioner Ventura questioned if all Commissioners will be able to participate. Ms. Sadora stated that all of the Commissioners will be able to participate and that the Commissioners will receive individual invitations and information. 3 Commissioner Ventura stated that the Commission may want to have an informational booth. She suggested that the HCPO be an agenda item for discussion at the next meeting. Commissioner Souza announced that she will not be able to attend the meeting on May 12. Commissioner Ventura stated that she also may not be available for the May 12 meeting. Commissioner Souza announced that she, Commissioner Kinnaman, and staff were invited to visit the Kaneiolouma complex in Po'ipu. She stated that depending on the organization's willingness to host a contingent from the conference, that might be an idea for a mobile workshop. Ms. Sadora stated that because of the location and the significance of the area that is one possibility. She stated that they are also considering Waipa on the North Shore. Commissioner Souza questioned whether they could appoint a task group or if it would need to be posted on the agenda. Deputy County Attorney Trask suggested listing an item on the next agenda for appointing a task group. Commissioner Ventura questioned whether two Commissioners could work on an idea to circulate as part of the next meeting packet. Deputy County Attorney Trask stated that two Commissioners could have a discussion. Commissioner Ventura clarified that the point of a task group would be for more than two Commissioners to work on a task. Commissioner Souza pointed out that if the next meeting would be on May 26 and the Planning team needs to make decisions by June, they need to come up with ideas now. Commissioner Ventura suggested the possibility of an alternate meeting date. Ms. Sadora announced that she would be out of State from May 4 through May 10. Commissioner Souza requested that the HCPO, and the appointment of a task group be placed on the next agenda. She stated that she would be willing to brainstorm some ideas. Ms. Sadora announced that she had visited the Kaneiolouma Heiau with Chair Kinnaman and Commissioner Souza. She stated that the Council and Administration's visit has been rescheduled from May 6 to May 13. 4 Commissioner Souza suggested that the Commission have a presence at that visit. Ms. Sadora stated that she was personally and culturally touched by the visit. Commissioner Souza stated that she was happy that it was listed on the acquisition list based on the presentations that were received. She encouraged the other Commissioners to visit the site with the Council and the Administration. Ms. Sadora also announced that she attended the National Planners Conference in Boston with 5,000 attendees. She noted that sustainability seemed to be the highest attended sessions which were standing room only. She stated that her sessions ran from 7am to 7pm and were an hour and a half each. She also attended sessions on law and ethics, complete streets, green living, and wind & water. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Status of filling of vacant Commissioner positions. Ms. Sadora stated that there were no updates but she spoke with Boards & Commissions and Council Services and they are still actively recruiting. Commissioner Ventura suggested informing Boards & Commissions that if there is an appointment confirmed before May 12, then the Commission would be able to meet. Ms. Sadora stated that she would share that information and inform them that this would be the second meeting since the presentation to the Council that is being canceled due to lack of quorum. Review and discussion on the commission's presentation to the County Council of the County of Kaua'i Public Access, Open Space, & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission 2010 report to the Kaua'i County Council and the Mayor. Commissioner Nakahara stated that one of the Council members suggested the possibility a biennial report to Council instead of annual. He stated that he did not realize that other commissions did not present an annual report to Council. Commissioner Ventura stated that it may be because the Open Space Commission was established by the Council. Commissioner Nakahara stated that the Council was surprised that there was difficulty in filling the Commissioner vacancies. He stated that the Council expressed that they 5 were aware of interested candidates. He stated that the Council also questioned why the recommendations were not in priority order. Commissioner Souza stated that they had a substantive discussion including the long range plan, the Ordinance, and the dossiers. She stated that she felt the presentation went well. She said that Mr. Rowe testified on behalf of Kaneiolouma and the Motor cross association played a video while they were testifying for Piwai. She stated that Councilman Furfaro preferred that the recommendations be prioritized. Chair Kinnaman stated that the Commission did not prioritize the recommendations because of the amount of money currently in the fund. Commissioner Nakahara added that some of the recommendations also may not require use of the fund. Commissioner Souza stated that she informed the Council that depending on who champions the projects, it did not make sense to prioritize this year's recommendations. She stated that in the past, they prioritized the list because the Black Pot Park expansion was in the works so there was an advantage to placing it first. Commissioner Ventura stated that she agreed that Commissioner Souza captured the thinking of the Commission. She suggested that if the situation is similar in the next report, they may want to express their reasons for not prioritizing. Chair Kinnaman asked the staff to follow up on the Council appointments. Commissioner Souza stated that the overall tone was very good. Commissioner Nakahara stated they discussed the possibility of amending the Ordinance so that the seated commissioners could appoint the ninth member. Commissioner Souza stated that Councilwoman Yukimura suggested the possibility of increasing the current contribution of .5% of the real property taxes. Commissioner Ventura stated that the key is that the Ordnance states a minimum of .5% but that the amount is not set. Commissioner Souza stated that they also mentioned that they are working with the Planning Department to prepare dossiers so that the Department would become the champion for those properties. She noted that the Council is prepared to receive the dossiers. Ms. Sadora stated that there was good dialog between the Council and the motor cross group that testified. 6 Commissioner Souza stated that the motor cross group even suggested a tax on the vehicles to help generate revenue. She expressed admiration for their thinking. Commissioner Nakahara noted that currently there are no licenses required for motor bikes. Commissioner Souza stated that it would be great if that kind of money could be used for acquisition. Ms. Sadora stated that it would also help to protect the equipment from being stolen. Commissioner Ventura stated that she was glad that the organization testified and that there was dialog. She felt there was a sense of urgency since that land is for sale. Ms. Sadora stated that the motor cross association has the opportunity to go back to the land owner and possibly find a model that they can use as a footprint. Commissioner Souza stated that the Kaneiolouma group is also looking to partner with other organizations. Commissioner Ventura thanked the Commission and staff who attended and expressed that she was happy that the report was well received with active engagement and interest and great ideas expressed. Commissioner Souza stated that Councilwoman Yukimura questioned why Mahaulepu was not on the list. She said they explained that the Commission was concentrating on other projects based on the available funds. She stated that they also discussed the consideration of a long range plan for the Commission. Ms. Sadora stated that it was good that the Commission provided some forward thinking on how to combine the Open Space long range plan to the General Plan and community master plans. She noted that Council Services has contacted her for follow- up information. NEW BUSINESS (CONTINUED) Letter dated April 20, 2011 from Chair Kinnaman requesting reconsideration on draft dossier for Council's consideration on recommended sites for acquisition. Chair Kinnaman stated that she was requesting reconsideration on the draft dossier for Nukumoi Surf Shop because Mr. Rowe presented information regarding funding and support from various agencies and she felt it would be good to include it in the dossier. Commissioner Souza stated that in looking at how the Hodge property was acquired with the Land Trust as the champion, she felt that the Kaneiolouma group would be the 7 champion rather than the Planning Department. She stated Salt Pond and Hoban do not have a champion and are not so much a financial burden, so the Planning Department could take that role. Chair Kinnaman agreed, but stated that it would still be good to have Kaneiolouma listed under the dossiers. Commissioner Souza stated that her view for use of the dossiers was for projects that don't have a champion. She said if the Kaneiolouma organization puts the package together, they can go straight to the Council to advocate for funds for acquisition. Commissioner Ventura questioned the reconsideration letter. She noted that the motion at the last meeting was to defer action on the dossier for Nukumoi. She clarified that that the Chair's letter is requesting that the Commission move forward on the dossier. She noted that the strength that the Land Trust brought to the Hodge parcel acquisition was that they had a paid executive director who could focus attention on the acquisition and also had a wealth of knowledge and expertise on the board of directors specific to land acquisition. She questioned if the Kaneiolouma organization has paid staff. Chair Kinnaman noted that the Kaneiolouma organization does not have paid staff but the President is moving forward with all of the agencies that are supporting the project including the Hawai'i Land Trust. Deputy County Attorney Trask stated that he worked with the Parks Department to enter into the stewardship agreement with Hui Malama O Kaneiolouma. He stated that the cultural reserve is currently within the County Parks system, so anything acquired would fall to Parks and Recreation. He stated that since the Hodge property acquisition, the Kaua'i Public Land Trust has ceased to exist and that each individual is trust decided that it would be better to combine their efforts. He stated that they now have a bigger pot of money, but it is to benefit the entire state. He noted that the Hui Malama O Kaneiolouma does not have the professional expertise, but Mr. Rowe is working with the Public Land Trust, OHA, and DLNR. Commissioner Ventura stated that what she was seeking clarification on was not the qualifications of the non-profit group to manage the land. She stated that the decision that the Chair was asking the Commission to consider was whether to finish a dossier to present to the Council that gives additional information regarding the opportunities of the site that perhaps were not included in the report. She said her concern was that with the Hodge property, the Land Trust had special qualifications as the champion to facilitate the move to acquisition. She stated that if this was an opportunity the Commission wanted to support then perhaps they should have a discussion on what the best way to support it would be. She stated that according to the minutes, Deputy County Attorney Jung advised against pursuing a lease agreement. She questioned if the Chair's intent of the letter was for the Commission to take up the draft dossier again. 8 Chair Kinnaman stated that her intent was to have it listed with the other two sites so that they can discuss it instead of having to reintroduce it. Commissioner Souza stated that they are separate items. Commissioner Ventura clarified that the decision at the last meeting was to defer action on the Nukumoi dossier, and based on that decision, only the other two sites were included on the agenda. She stated that Chair Kinnaman was requesting that the Nukumoi dossier be placed back on the agenda for discussion. She questioned if there were other concerns with the Nukumoi dossier besides the non profit champion. Commissioner Souza stated that the basis of the Nukumoi dossier was the lease option. She stated that with the deputy county attorney advising against pursuing a lease, and with the other coordination, the Commission should consider something more permanent and more expensive. She stated that it is in a different realm as the other two. Commissioner Ventura stated that her recollection for requesting the dossier was that the three properties had extenuating circumstances beyond a straight out acquisition that merited providing more detail to the Council. She stated that with the deputy county attorney's recommendation to not consider the lease, and with the opportunity being a straight forward acquisition, the thinking of the Commission is that it wouldn't require a dossier to explain the circumstances. Commissioner Souza stated that the Commission deferred action to move forward with the dossier. She stated that the Hodge property acquisition demonstrated a way that the fund could be tapped. She stated that since some projects don't have someone like the Land Trust working on its behalf, the previous deputy county attorney suggested the idea of having the Planning Department create dossiers to be submitted to the Council to help move those projects along. Deputy County Attorney Trask questioned if it was the recommendation to only include in the dossiers projects that the Commission could support monetarily. Commissioner Souza stated that when the Commission took action to defer the Nukumoi dossier, it appeared that it wasn't as well conceived and well thought out as the others because it referred to pursuing the lease. She stated that the scale of the project has changed and requires more than what is in the fund. Commissioner Ventura stated that the recommendation was not restricted to projects for which there were sufficient funds, however, it has been the gradual conclusion of the Commission that it would be more logical to focus on projects that were more feasible. Commissioner Souza stated that they also focused on projects that had a package that had all of the pieces together. She noted that the danger of moving forward with a dossier that is not well thought out is that it would raise questions. She stated that the 9 dossier should include the next steps. She stated that without knowing who the partners are to move the project along, they would be asking the Council to commit to a project for which the steps are not certain. Deputy County Attorney Trask stated that it is always good to be prepared but they shouldn't feel restricted in their recommendations because it may not be good enough. He stated that it would be okay to make recommendations that include a list of concerns. He stated that the benefit of any Commission is to provide the authorizing body with options; some that are well thought out and others that are general versus just two choices. Commissioner Ventura stated that she understood the Commission's decision to defer action based on the deputy county attorney's advice regarding the lease and the wording of the draft. She stated that she wanted to support the Kaneiolouma organization's effort and stated that she sensed that they would need the Commission's support. She stated that it would be good to continue exploring and drafting the dossier, changing it, and adding in whatever new information was available. She stated that she did not view each of the dossiers as being chained to each other. Commissioner Souza stated that she was not convinced that a dossier would be the right vehicle for this project. Commissioner Ventura questioned if the Commission could agree to take up a discussion on how best to support the project, then whether or not a dossier would be needed could be one of the questions. She questioned if the Chair's intent was to ensure that the Commission continues to support the project or if she was attached to the dossier. Chair Kinnaman felt a dossier would be helpful to show the progress made by the organization and the Land Trust. She stated they would not be able to discuss the item if it is not on the agenda. She questioned if the item would require a motion to be placed back on the agenda if it was deferred. Deputy County Attorney Trask stated that if the item was deferred without a time frame then the Commission could form a task force whose charge would be to work as a liaison with the group and there could be a standing agenda item for that, but his understanding is that it would somehow need to be brought back onto the agenda. Chair Kinnaman stated that if it is relisted under the dossiers, they could always defer that item, but discuss it at a later meeting without having to introduce it again as new business. Commissioner Ventura suggested that the Commission not restrict the discussion to the merits of a dossier. She questioned if the Chair would be agreeable to listing the project as how best to support the opportunity, then other strategies can be discussed. 10 Chair Kinnaman stated that she did not understand why the Commission would need to discuss other strategies. Commissioner Souza stated that she viewed the dossiers as helping out (orphaned) projects. She noted that Nukumoi is not an orphan project and that current networking would only strengthen the project. She felt that having it listed on the recommendations is a good thing. She noted that they listed the Hodge property as the number one recommendation because it had the best chance of success with certain people taking the lead on it. She stated that there may be an advantage to listing Kaneiolouma as number one when the package and players have come together. She stated that the Hoban project has lost momentum and that Salt Pond needs a push to get it going. She feels they are orphan projects that need some help. Deputy County Attorney Trask recommended Commissioner Ventura's suggestion to keep it on the agenda, but not necessarily focusing dossier efforts on it. Commissioner Ventura stated that her suggestion would be to discuss it and take advantage of momentum as it occurs. She suggested a standing agenda item for project updates on priority recommendations so that it would not be limited to Nukumoi. Commissioner Souza suggested listing the Salt Pond Beach Park Expansion including protection of Salt pans. MOTION: It was moved by Johanna Ventura and seconded by Maurice Nakahara to add a standing agenda item for Project Updates on 2010 Recommendations including Kaneiolouma Heiau Complex Preservation Area Expansion (South) also known as Nukumoi Surf Shop Property, Po'ipu Beach Park Expansion (West) at 2179 Hoone Road, Access to Kukui`ula Bay through former Hoban Property, Proposed Piwai (Omao Recreation Area), Restoration and Expansion of Shoreline Access Lawa`i Kai to Port Allen, Salt Pond Park Expansion (Mauka and West and Buffer Area for Protection of Salt Pans) All were in favor by unanimous voice vote — motion passed. Chair Kinnaman questioned whether the Kaneiolouma project would have as much work done on it by staff as the other two dossier projects. Deputy County Attorney Trask stated that the Commission appears to be divided on what the dossiers mean. He stated that the Commission could always ask staff to work on anything that is listed on the agenda. Review and discussion on draft dossiers for Council's consideration on recommended sites for acquisition. Regarding the Hoban property, Commissioner Ventura suggested that language in the opportunity should provide more background detail about the availability of funds from 11 Ordinance PM 2004-370. She suggested detailing that in 2004 there was $500,000 set aside and that $140,000 was spent for EIA, and then listing the current balance. She stated that some of the newer Council members may not be familiar with the history. She suggested using the middle paragraph from the history and background section to state that there is an opportunity to use the remaining funds. Commissioner Souza suggested mentioning that if any additional funds are required beyond what is available through the Ordinance PM 2004-370, that the Open Space fund is available if needed. Commissioner Ventura stated that the sense of traditional use is missing from the background. She noted that her understanding was that the community used it as a pedestrian access because the former owner was agreeable to allowing people to use it and it was unobstructed, but the new owner constructed a cement wall blocking the access. Chair Kinnaman questioned if staff could incorporate the assessed value into the background information. Ms. Sadora stated that the complete workup from 2006 will be attached with the packet including the initial recommendations, the findings, and the assessed value of the easement. Commissioner Nakahara noted a correction to the second bullet under update & recommendations from "assess the shoreline" to "access the shoreline". Commissioner Ventura requested moving the second bullet item, "Existing County of Kaua'i drainage easement at this location was traditionally used by local residents to access the shoreline, but the property owner now prohibits access", from the update & recommendations section to the background section. Regarding the Salt Pond Park Expansion mauka and west and buffer for protection of salt pans, Commissioner Ventura felt that the two bullet items under update and recommendations would be more appropriate under opportunity. Commissioner Souza felt that the opportunity section is not convincing. She felt that the first paragraph from the background section should be the first paragraph under opportunity. She proposed the following second paragraph for the opportunity section: "The demise of sugar cultivation on State owned and other lands mauka and westward of Salt Pond Beach Park provides an opportunity to transfer these lands to the County of Kaua'i by executive order." Deputy County Attorney Trask noted that Tommy Oi from the DLNR is currently working for the Legislature so the communications ongoing should be changed to the Land Division of DLNR. 12 Commissioner Ventura stated that under the scope & work to move forward section, she did not feel that the Commission was suggesting acquiring the lease, but rather investigate an executive order to permanently transfer the land to County ownership. She noted that the mechanism would be an executive order. Regarding the scope & work to move forward, Commissioner Souza stated that the first bullet be replaced with: "COK Administration to work with the State of Hawaii to execute an Executive Order to the County of Kaua'i for sufficient lands for expansion of Salt Pond Beach Park and protection of Hanapepe salt pans." Commissioner Nakahara noted that the according to Tommy Oi from the DLNR, the cemetery was in the process of expanding. Commissioner Ventura requested a status update on the initiative for the cemetery expansion. She said if the expansion is not yet underway, then perhaps the executive order could be combined. Commissioner Souza stated that the Commission should be included in the subdivision process for that area. Review and discussion on proposed amendments to Ordinance 812 Chair Kinnaman stated that considering what was said at the Council meeting, she questioned if the Commission would like to amend the requirement for an annual report to biennial. Commissioner Ventura noted that according to the 3/10/11 meeting minutes, the status was that the Planning Director was going to finalize his review of the draft. Ms. Sadora stated that the Director still wanted to review section VI of the amendments. Commissioner Ventura stated that she did not have a copy of the final draft. She questioned if the Director intended to come back to the Commission with suggestions or if he was going to submit it to the Administration. Ms. Sadora stated that she was going to provide a copy to the Council once the Director has had an opportunity to review it. Commissioner Ventura questioned whether the Commission wanted to communicate to the Director the suggestion on the part of Council that the Commission revise the reporting requirements to biennial. Ms. Sadora stated that at the Council meeting it was reported that the final draft was in the Director's hands to present to the Administration. She stated that if the Commission wanted to amend the draft, she could present it to the Director as a final product. 13 Commissioner Ventura stated that if the Commission is in agreement, they could decide to make a motion to amend the draft, and if the Director has concerns, it would make sense for the Commission to receive those concerns and have a discussion. Ms. Sadora stated it would not be a final product until the Commission had the opportunity for dialog. MOTION: It was moved by Johanna Ventura and seconded by to Linda Dela Cruz to strike the word "annual" wherever it appears in the Ordinance and substitute with "biennial". All were in favor by unanimous voice vote — motion passed. Commissioner Souza questioned whether the Commission wanted to address the percentage of contribution to the fund. Commissioner Dela Cruz felt that it should be left to the Council. Commissioner Souza stated that she agreed with Commissioner Dela Cruz, but suggested that the Commission could take a position that they would like to see it increase, but are deferring to the Council on the actual amount. She suggested a chart that shows what the increase would be at different percentages. Commissioner Ventura suggested taking it up at the next meeting since the Commission would be hearing back from the Director and then a communication can be drafted. NEXT MEETING DATE AND AGENDA TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION Chair Kinnaman stated that item VI C, update and discussion of the 2011 public input process will be on the next agenda. Commissioner Souza requested that and update on Kauapea be placed on the next agenda. Commissioner Ventura suggested and agenda item on the status of public accesses at Ka'aka'aniu and Kauapea. Chair Kinnaman requested that an update on the vacant commissioner positions, and Ordinance amendments, draft dossiers, update on priority recommendations and HCPO be included on the next agenda. ADJOURNMENT 14 MOTION: It was moved by Maurice Nakahara and seconded by to Linda Dela Cruz to adjourn the meeting. All were in favor by unanimous voice vote — motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Duke Nakamatsu, Support Clerk 15
