May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 2 of 16
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I have a question. On page 5 of the minutes fourth paragraph down I believe
it's a miss -typo. It's not 30 feet above the roof line, it's either 30 inches or 3 feet.
Mr. Hull: Commissioner Long with your architectural experience would it be 30 inches?
Mr. Long: 30 inches or 2 feet 6 inches above the roof line.
Mr. Hull: The Department would take that as a friendly amendment to incorporate into the
minutes.
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that we approve the April 27, 2017 meeting minutes as
corrected.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Can I get a second.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Second.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion?
Mr. Chaffin Jr: Yes, I have a suggestion. On the first page of the agenda at the bottom F.
Hearing and Public Comment where it says, "The Commission is proposing rules that establish
the following: "General Provisions", that should be a separate package and included in every
agenda or given to each Commissioner to review before each meeting.
Mr. Hull: We are on the minutes and you're discussing the manner in which the agenda is
structured.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Right.
Mr. Hull: How would we do that Jodi?
Deputy County Attorney Jodi Higuchi-Sa. eegusa: I don't understand. What are you requesting to
be a part of the packet?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: The very first page on the agenda, F. Hearing and Public Comment where it
says, "The Commission is proposing rules that establish the following: "General Provisions", I
suggest those rules be bound separately and given to each Commissioner either before each
meeting or when they're sworn in so they can review.
Deputy County Attorney Jodi Higuchi-Sa. eegusa: That's part of this agenda and it won't be a
repeat on every agenda. That matter is part of the public hearing for the creation of the rules.
Mr. Hull: Commissioner, should you adopt these draft rules they would be transmitted to all of
you.

Deputy County Attorney Jodi Higuchi-Sayegusa: We can talk more about that when the item
comes up.
Vice -Chair Nakea: We have a motion to approve the minutes with corrections and it got
seconded. Is there any discussion regarding the minutes? (None) All those in favor?
(Unanimous voice vote) Thank you. Motion carried 7:0.
HEARINGS AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Mr. Hull: Next agenda item is Hearing and Public Comment. This agenda item is open to the
members of the public. Are there any members of the public that want to testify on any agenda
item before the agenda item comes up? Seeing none.
1. HEARING
a. Proposed Rules of Practice and Procedure of the County of Kauai Historic
Preservation Review Commission. This Commission proposing rules that
will establish the following: "General Provisions"; "Organization &
Parliamentary Rules"; "Public Records, Inspection, and Availability"
Procedures; and "Rule Adoption, Amendment, or Repeal Procedures."
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is agenda F.1. A couple of months ago the Department
transmitted draft rules to this Commission because this is the one functioning County
Commission that does not have established rules and procedures. There were proposed
amendments which the Department incorporated and these are a soft reading for you to take a
look at. The official course of adopting these rules of practice and procedure is first it goes to the
State Small Business Regulatory Review Board for their review. Jodi and I took the draft rules of
practice and procedure to the Small Business Regulatory Review Board, they reviewed and there
were comments and questions concerning this Commission's potential impact on small
businesses. They allowed for a public hearing to proceed, however the Small Business
Regulatory Review Board did ask to be updated on the proceedings of these hearings. Right now
this is the official hearing for the rules of practice and procedures. Do you have any further input
or possible amendments or discussion?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Are we reviewing this paragraph on the bottom of page 1?
Mr. Hull: The Rules are attached to the packet right after the minutes. It's item F. La. dated May
25, 2017.
Mr. Long: I have a question. In previous meetings we've had comments, additions and
recommendations and have those been incorporated?
Mr. Hull: Those were incorporated.
Mr. Long: Okay great.
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 4 of 16
Mr. Hull: The rules are entirely parliamentarian in substance. Some Commissions like Open
Space Commission or the Planning Commission have additional rules on how they review. The
Planning Commission has zoning applications or use permits and Open Space Commission has
specific rules on how they entertain property acquisitions and these rules are entirely
parliamentarian. You don't have actual procedural rules and right now rely on a de facto nature
of Robert's Rules of Order and it functions fine, but in prudence the Department felt it to be
necessary to adopt official rules as these proceedings move forward. This has a lot to do with the
somewhat new relationship the Department is forging with this body. This body for several
years served as advisory to the applicants. The applicants would take your input and
recommendations and determine whether or not they wanted to incorporate that into their
construction or renovation. Now the Department is looking at your recommendations and
actually incorporating them into conditions of approval on applications. If you require an
original type of roofing material as opposed to one that an applicant is requesting, the
Department has recently begun to adhere to KHPRC's recommendations and we can expect
some challenges on that. If we get challenged we need the record to reflect clearly how that
recommendation was established by this body. That is part of why you have the rules before you
today.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Are there any further discussions on the rules?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Yes, on Chapter II. 1-2-1 Commission Members, who represents the various
organizations on this Commission?
Ms. Higuchi-Sayegusa: I think that section was taken verbatim from our Ordinance and it
explains the underlying minimal requirements to the makeup of this body. If you want personal
clarification the staff can follow-up with you.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: That was the question, who represents which of these organizations.
Mr. Hull: You mean individually on the Committee today?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Yes.
Mr. Hull: We can provide a list for you. I would hesitate to incorporate that into the rules.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: No I don't think it should be because then it has to be updated. I just want to
know who represents which member.
Mr. Hull: Yes and we can get that for you, thank you.
Ms. Hi c,�. e� Perhaps we can formally for the record open it up for public testimony
because that's what we're doing today.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item?
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 5 of 16
Mr. Hull: Seeing none the Department would recommend closing the public hearing aspect of
this proceeding.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Can I get a motion and a second?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I'll make a motion that we close the hearing on this subject.
Ms. Schneider: I second.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion? (None) All those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Nays?
(None) Motion passes. Motion carried 7:0.
Mr. Hull: Motion passes to close the public hearing. Now would be the discussion on what the
body would like to do with the rules.
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that we adopt the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Kauai
Historical Preservation Review Commission.
Mr. Long: I second it.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Should this be a separate package for each member to have and review as
needed?
Mr. Hull: Yes, you received the package a couple of times. Are you saying you need additional
time to review it?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I thought it would be helpful to have because I don't save these notes or
minutes.
Mr. Guerber: I think Mr. Chaffin is asking for a Commission book that is given to every
Commissioner for things that need to be saved, like a three ring binder.
Ms. Hi c,�. e� We still have to vote on what to do. As a preview, should the
Commission adopt the rules today then what happens next is it's subject to Mayor approval.
Once that happens then a copy is given to the County Clerk and filed with the Lt. Governor and
then it becomes effective I0-days after transmittal to the County Clerk.
Vice -Chair Nakea: We have a motion and a second to adopt the rules and we need to vote on
that. Do we also need to make a motion on the suggestion to create a Commission book?
Mr. Hull: The Department has no problem with Mr. Chaffin's suggestion and takes it as a
friendly recommendation. If these rules are adopted we will provide each Commissioner with a
booklet that includes these newly adopted rules. So now it's just discussion on the motion for
adoption.
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 6 of 16
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion on the motion to adopt these rules as ours? All those in favor
(Unanimous voice vote) Nays? (None) The motion to adopt the rules passes. Motion carried
7:0.
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND GENERAL BUSINESS MATTERS
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is G. Announcements and General Business Matters which we
do not have any on this agenda. So moving on to agenda item H.
COMMUNICATIONS
1. Letter (4/8/17) to Michael A. Dahilig, Planning Director from Ford N.
Fuchigami, Director of Transportation, State of Hawaii, Department of
Transportation regarding the Potential Lease Renewal and Assignment of DOT-
A-09-0001; Smoky Mountain Helicopters, Inc., Port Allen Airport, Tax Map Key
(4) 1-8-08: Portion of the lot 4.
Mr. Hull: At the last Kauai Historic Preservation Review Committee meeting you received a
letter from Planning Director Michael Dahilig to DOT that expressed concerns over the potential
lease renewal of Smoky Mountain Helicopters lease at the Port Allen Airport because the lease
renewal included expanding the helicopter service in that area. The Director of Planning cited his
concerns that an increase usage of the airport could have further negative impacts on the Salt
Pond production in the near vicinity. The Director also asked that DOT appear before this body
to review the potential impacts of the expansion. You received that letter and were of the
understanding that DOT would review it. DOT has reviewed Mr. Dahilig's letter and in your
procession is DOT's response.
Mr. Guerber: I move to receive the letter.
Mr. Hull: You need a second.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Second.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Is there any discussion on the letter?
Mr. Long: I was here at last month's meeting when we received the letter from DOT and
Michael Dahilig. What are the specific improvements?
Mr. Hull: There is no actual improvements being proposed by DOT, it's just to allow an
additional expansion in the vicinity. Those additional helicopters may require more hangers to
be placed out there but that's not specifically proposed at this time.
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 7 of 16
Mr. Long: Nowhere and at no time have we received any information about how they're going
to expand. I have no idea how many helicopters, how many more hours and so we have no
information to base this discussion on. What are the expansion of services?
Mr. Hull: All we have is the lease renewal and we can transmit the lease renewal to you if you
want to defer this agenda item. The lease renewal doesn't have any hours of operation or how
many more helicopters will be there per say.
Mr. Long: We are going to need that information.
Mr. Hull: That information will not be provided in a lease renewal, it would only happen should
the lease be renewed and then they enter into discussion. The Planning Director's position was to
have DOT discuss the lease and expansion of more helicopters with this body. I think DOT
hasn't specifically stated whether or not they are willing to come before this body but I think if
you read the letter they have no intentions of coming before you.
Mr. Long: Without any information I personally don't have any intention of supporting them in
their proposal. No information, nothing to talk about.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: We could structure our response that we'll only give approval for continuing
their operation without expansion or some legal wording.
Mr. Guerber: I did not move for approval, I moved to receive the letter. We haven't approved
anything yet, therefore that approval has yet to be voted on. Do we communicate back to them
that we have not approved it and will require more information before we approve anything? We
received the letter thank you very much but we need more information.
Mr. Hull: There's no structure with this communication because it's not on the State or National
Historic Registry so there's nothing officially for you to review and approve per say. However if
you feel that indeed there are some concerns and would like to communicate a message of that
nature, a motion would have to be made to that effect. Right now the motion on the floor is a
motion to receive which ultimately you voted upon and seconded. You are just receiving this
communication thank you very much and we're moving on. If you want to go above and beyond
that and as a body express a particular concern or communication to DOT over the potential
expansion of this lease then you'd have to retract that motion to receive and another motion
would have to be made to express a particular communication.
Mr. Guerber: I retract my motion to receive.
Ms. Higuchi-Sayegusa: You can either retract and the second be retracted or you can call for the
vote and see where that goes and if it you can have another motion on the floor.
Vice -Chair Nakea: The motion on the floor right now is to receive the letter. Was there a
second?
Ms. Higuchi-Sayegusa: Yes
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 8 of 16
Mr. Guerber: If we move to receive it's the end of this. I retract, I think we need an opportunity
to make a motion.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Can we get a motion to...
Mr. Hull: No, whoever seconded will have to retract their second.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I retract my second.
Vice -Chair Nakea: May we get a motion to....
Mr. Long: I would like to make a motion that in recognition of the letter we received from the
Department of Transportation that we have not been given any information or any detailed
information about the expansion of services at the airport. In order for us to have any discussion
we need to receive more details from the Department of Transportation as to precisely how they
intend to expand their services at the Hanapepe Airport, whether it's just helicopters or
additional improvements. And before we have any further discussion or decide on this matter we
request DOT provide us with details on their lease enhancements.
Mr. Guerber: I'll second that motion.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Does that include all the perimeters that might come up?
Mr. Long: Yes, absolutely.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Number of flights, buildings, hangers, equipment all that?
Vice -Chair Nakea: All those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Nays? (None) The motion
passes. Motion carried 7:0
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Discussion on the status of the Certified Local Government
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is Unfinished Business discussion on the status of the Certified
Local Government. The position is held there for when SHPD or should SHPD re -continue
attending our meetings and giving updates on the CLG program. Communications over the past
3 to 4 months with SHPD have been relatively minimal and has to do with the fact that they are
understaffed and overwhelmed. They recently lost Anna Broverman who was in attendance at
every single meeting for the past two years. In Anna's absence it appears they have a lot going
on with not much resource and I can't speak as to where they are right now. Kauai is without an
archaeologist as well as the architectural branch and we have been working in the dark. I'm not
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 9 of 16
faulting SHPD because I understand the overwhelming amount of work they have but we are in
the dark when it comes to the Certified Local Government program.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: We should send them a letter stating that fact.
Mr. Hull: The Department got a lot of help with managing the program and getting guidance on
the preservation program when Anna attended. If this body wants to go on the record to request
they re -attend these meetings it would be contingent upon resources and available funds.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: If we don't present a letter on our behalf they can come back and say we didn't
know.
Mr. Hull: Yes
Vice -Chair Nakea: Would anyone care to make a motion that a letter be drafted on our behalf?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I'll make that motion.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Can I get a second.
Mr. Guerber: I'll second that.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion? (None) All those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) The
motion passes. Motion carried 7:0
NEW BUSINESS
1. Green Garden Hotel (Hanapepe Inn)
TMK: 1-9-006;007, 4541 Hana Road, Hanapepe, Kauai
Proposed renovations to the existing building to a suitable condition for
transient accommodation once again.
Mr. Hull: Next agenda item is new business J.1. I believe we have the applicant here.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Will you please state your name.
Aaor Jehn Architects LLC Sarah Jehn: Sarah Jehn of Agor Jehn Architects. We submitted an
application for the renovation of the Hanapepe Inn which has been vacated for a number of years
and propose to renovate and restore. Our floor plan is to basically keep it the same way. We plan
to expand the bathrooms and replace the lanais that were once there but are not there anymore.
We don't have any record of what those lanais looked like but I'm sure there are pictures buried
deep somewhere or in somebodies records but we have not found them. Initial information says
it was built in 1949, however old aerial photographs from 1950 indicate it wasn't there but then it
showed up in 1965. I would say somewhere between 1950 and 1960 it was probably built. We
plan to replace the original windows if we can find them and all the doors with replicas if we can
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 10 of 16
get our hands on it and restore the floor. It's single wall so we will be restoring that also. We're
keeping the same roof and roofing materials and repairing the foundation as needed.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Are there any questions?
Mr. Long: How high is the lanai off of grade?
Ms. Jehn: We think its 30 inches but we need to confirm and it could be as high as 36 inches.
Mr. Long: That would be nice. You can keep your "not to code" railings.
Ms. Jehn: Yes but that will require a survey that we don't have at the moment.
Vice -Chair Nakea: It looks good and I appreciate that you are trying to keep everything
consistent with the original materials.
Ms. Jehn: In case we're not able to replace the original windows and doors and decide to go
with a modern wood frame would I need to come back and go through the process again?
Mr. Long: Given your best efforts to find replicas of the existing fenestration and doors is
commendable but if you can't find them and you want to replace with something similar such as
a prime and painted wood framed door and certainly not a vinyl slider. I think that's fine
architecturally.
Ms. Schneider: You might try Mike Faye for the replacement windows and doors. He
sometimes has extras.
Ms. Jehn: What about exterior colors?
Mr. Long: Typically we find plantation homes painted in an earthy colors which ranges from
greens, blue greens, light browns and beiges, not pink or chartreuse but something a little more
Hawaiiana.
Ms. Jehn: I didn't know if you had a preference of what you would like to see. We did get
SHPD approval today and they're working with HDR Engineering and consulting with the
architectural historian. It took about 3days for us to get our letter of approval.
Mr. Hull: Could you transmit that letter to us? Generally it's standard practice for SHPD to do
that but just to be prudent to the Department.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Can I get a motion to approve?
Mr. Long: I move to approve.
Ms. Schneider: I second.
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 11 of 16
Mr. Hull: The Department requests the motion be made to approve as presented. The reason is
as we discussed earlier the Department is in the stages of holding applicants to your conditions of
approvals or recommendations for conditions of approval. While it doesn't appear the need to
recommend conditions of approval for this applicant, I'd also state that it may be contingent on
the fact that the applicant has presented an intent to keep the renovations with the original
fenestration and doors. In the event we get a building permit that is not in keeping with what
was discussed the Department would either deny or refer back to you.
Mr. Long: I revise my original motion to say I move that we approve as presented.
Ms. Schneider: I second.
Vice -Chair Nakea: Any discussion?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I have a question on the exiting of these various rooms. It looks like it goes into
a central corridor and the corridor only has one legal access.
Ms. Jelin: If occupancy is over 50 in the building we would be required to have an additional
two exits or additional one exit. I can review again but a window is also considered an exit in a
lot of these old historic homes and these windows are certainly big enough to be considered a
legal exit. I will double check but I do think it should be sufficient.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Well it seems misleading when it says at the bottom of the floor plan as
presented entry lanai and at the top upper right it says entry lanai.
Ms. Jelin: In the back is a one bedroom suite and the owners wanted it to have its own exit and
entry. The four rooms up front have their own entry and exit.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: That's not clearly defined in my opinion.
Mr. Long: I have a comment. I believe that exiting code is not the responsibility of this
Commission of Historic Preservation.
Vice Chair Nakea: Any further discussion?
Mr. Iida: I have a question. What does this "relocated on lot" mean?
Mr. Hull: Commissioner what page are you on?
Mr. Iida: First page.
Mr. Hull: Myles?
Ms. Jelin: We're not planning on relocating.
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 12 of 16
Mr Hull: Sarah the Commissioner is referring to a historic profile that is in the County of Kauai
Historic inventory. Back in the 1980's we did inventory of historic structures and Spencer
Mason Architects did a profile for certain historic properties. In this research it appears that this
structure relocated to the plot at some point and time.
Ms. Jelin: That would make sense because in our initial research the aerial photograph shows in
1955 the house in a different location on the lot and after that, sometime in the 1980's, it ended
up in the location it is in now.
Mr. Iida: It moved on the lot, on the same lot, or moved from someplace else to the lot.
Ms. Jelin: It was right in the middle of the lot and angled, parallel to the length of the lot and
then it moved up towards the highway.
Vice Chair Nakea: All those in favor of the motion to approve the plan as presented.
(Unanimous voice vote) Motion passes. Motion carried 7:0.
COMMISSION EDUCATION COMMITTEE
1. Grant Application for Certified Local Government Funds for National
Preservation Institute on Oahu.
Mr. Hull: The last agenda item is K.1. Commission Education Committee. The Commission
Education Committee hasn't met but asked the Department to provide available historic
preservation education opportunities. An email was sent to SHPD requesting a list which was
something Anna Broverman used to provide on an annual basis. We haven't received an updated
list and if we don't get a response by the next meeting we will attempt again. We're aware of
some of the conferences and educational seminars out there so we can provide that to you. What
you have attached to this agenda item is the Certified Local Government application that the
County of Kauai, Maui County, and Hawaii County put together as a group with the Hawaii
County taking the lead. We are requesting CLG funds to provide an educational opportunity to
attend a two day historic landscape preservation seminar which the Hawaii Island attended
before and recommended it be done statewide. The focus is not only on archaeological sites but
a lot of times there are archaeological sites in which the landscape in and around the area plays a
role in the historic integrity just as much as the archaeological site itself. That seminar will go
through that process of identifying those landscaped areas and help to preserve them and how to
nominate them for the State or National registry. The application has been put forward and is
given for your information. We haven't heard back as to whether this application can be
submitted, for now this is just preliminary.
Mr. Long: I noted there is a restriction on the number of people going and it's limited to one
Commissioner and one staff.
Mr. Hull: The overall intention is to apply for six Commissioners and one staff to attend which
comes out to two Commissioners per Commission with one staff. I would have no problem
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 13 of 16
allowing another Commissioner to take the third position if anybody is interested. It's submitted
as a draft to SHPD to see if there are enough funds or if there are more funds to send additional
Commissioners.
Mr. Long: Is this for one landscape seminar and are there two applications or just one?
Mr. Hull: Just one.
Mr. Long: In the past we've had a number of Commissioners go and it was extremely helpful
and educational. The cost is $38,000.00 and I think there's around $58,000.00 in their budget so
there might be room for a couple more Commissioners.
Mr. Hull: The CLG grant can be problematic because they are very strict with deadlines in
expending grant money. The application is submitted to SHPD but approved by the National
Park Service which sometimes wait until the eleventh hour to make the award. The award is
given a strict 2-3 months to execute and complete the project. This is not a drop in the bucket.
The past 2-3 years SHPD was able to steer those grant monies and refund the Commissioners.
There was one training where we had to buy our own tickets which helped to get the applications
for the training a lot quicker and then everybody was refunded. When Anna Broverman was
there she had additional time to work those kinks out but now that she's not we are trying to see
if we can get these applications processed. As of this date we haven't heard back from them yet.
This is for your information and consideration that we may have an opportunity and if anybody
is interested.
Vice Chair Nakea: Can we get a motion to receive the draft of the Certified Local Government
FYI Grant Application?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I make the motion that we receive the grant application.
Vice Chair Nakea: Can I get a second?
Ms. Schneider: I'll second.
Vice Chair Nakea: Any discussion? (None) All those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion
passes. Motion Carried 7:0
KAUA'I HISTORICAL RESOURCE INVENTORY UPDATE COMMITTEE
Re: Update on the Permitted Interaction Group (PIG) for updating the Kauai
Historical Inventory.
Mr. Hull: Madame Chair there are no other agenda items and that would complete today's
agenda.
Mr. Long: What about all of our PIG's? The Historic Survey PIG?
May 25, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 14 of 16
Ms. Schneider: Myles has to get us together.
Mr. Hull: Until the Committee meets then they will have something to discuss and share with
this body.
Vice Chair Nakea: Would it be possible to tag along if I'm available on a day that they go to do
the inventory?
Ms. Hi cu hi-Sa. e� The PIG is under quorum and we already formed the group.
Vice Chair Nakea: Okay.
Mr. Long: One of our members is no longer a Commissioner. Can we replace them?
Ms. Hi cu hi-Sa. e� How many members do we have now? It's four, okay.
Ms Schneider: The members are Pat, Stephen, myself and Victoria.
Mr. Long: Pat Griffin is no longer with us so it would be appropriate for our Vice Chair to
attend.
Ms. Higuchi-Sayegusa: I don't see a problem if it's two or more, but less than a quorum.
Mr. Long: Do you need a motion?
Ms. Higuchi-Sayegusa: You could just to memorialize.
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that Commissioner Nakea joins us as a member on the Kauai
Historical Resource Inventory Update Permitted Interaction Group Committee.
Vice Chair Nakea: Is there a second.
Mr. Long: Second.
Vice Chair Nakea: Any further discussion? (None) All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote)
