Public Comment Communication There were no Communications. New Business Review and discussion for recommendation of a coastal property located at TMK. (4) 5-5-001:002 (por.) in Hanalei. (See Proposed Draft Bill {No. 2701) and (For Action) Proposed Drat Bill go. 2702 Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 2 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Mr. Hull stated that last week at the County Council (Council) meeting it was presented that several months ago —in Executive Session— Council authorized the County Attorney's Office to enter into negotiations with the owner of a property in proximity to Black Pot Beach Park in Hanalei to acquire a separate parcel adjacent to the park for County purposes. The negotiation resulted in a settlement agreement that proposes 5.6 million dollars for the property. He said because it was done in Executive Session, no communication was sent — or could have been sent — to his office or the Open Space Commission. Mr. Hull said Mr. Blake was at the Council meeting and testified that he was upset about having not been told about the proposed transaction. In response to Mr. Blake's testimony, Council referred the proposed draft bills to the Commission for their review, input, and recommendation. Mr. Hull said Council anticipates having a discussion with Chair Kimura and the Planning Department on May 91h concerning other properties that the Commission is considering, as well as the Commission's position on the 5.6 million dollar proposed acquisition. Chair Kimura asked if the Commission had access to the property's appraisal report to which Mr. Hull said no, however, he did have the real property assessment which is 2.9 million dollars. Mr. Blake commented that the tax appraisal is usually below market appraisal. Mr. Blake voiced his disapproval that the Open Space Commission was not told about the proposed acquisition that would use up 93 % of the Open Space fund. He said when he voiced his concerns at the Council meeting, he was told that Council had money and any time the Open Space Commission had properties they wanted to acquire, funds would be available. Chair Kimura stated that her position was to consider asking Council to look elsewhere for the difference between the appraised value of the property and the 5.6 million dollars. Mr. Blake asked Mr. Hull if the settlement was part of a Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 3 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION condemnation to which Mr. Hull replied yes. Chair Kimura stated that the Open Space Fund could only be used for land acquisition based on an appraised value, and felt that because the proposed acquisition was part of a settlement, it would be breaking the Commission's rules. Mr. Blake said he felt this was an opportunity for the Commission to generate more funds from real property taxes by increasing the percentage allocated to the Open Space Fund from 0.5% to 1.5%. He suggested that the increase could sunset in four years, at which time, based on the County's financial position, it could either stay the same or be reduced. Mr. Hull suggested the Commission discuss the percentage issue during the agenda item listed for the Commission's priorities that will be presented to Council on May 9'. He added that he felt Chair Kimura was referring to the Commission's position with regard to the Black Pot Beach acquisition. Chair Kimura said when the Open Space Commission went before Council two years ago for a particular property, Council gave them a hard time because there was no appraisal for the property. Mr. Hull provided that property appraisals are not a legislative requirement of the Charter or the ordinance that established the Open Space Fund for acquisition; the requirement was imposed to a certain degree by Council. After further discussion, the Commission agreed to ask Council on May 9' about the fact that the lawsuit is bundled with the appraised value of the property, and that the Commission's position is they only want to pay for the appraised value of the property. County Attorney Mauna Kea Trask introduced himself and said he was available to answer any questions the Commission had. Chair Kimura asked Mr. Trask if he was able to discuss the appraised value of the property to which Mr. Trask replied that he wouldn't be comfortable discussing appraisal, and would rather Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 4 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION have the discussion in Executive Session because the appraised value is part of the proposed confidential settlement agreement. Deputy County Attorney Jodi Higuchi Sayegusa added that an Executive Session for the item was not on the agenda, however, the Commission could make a motion to hold an unanticipated Executive Session to discuss the matter. Mr. Trask said that he was not prepared to discuss the matter but would be available at a later time. Chair Kimura updated Mr. Trask, saying that part of the Commission's discussion was about asking Council about the fact that the Open Space Commission is supposed to spend its funds on acquisition; however, apparently a portion of the 5.6 million dollars involves the settlement of an ongoing lawsuit. She questioned lumping the two together when there are projects that the Commission has approved. She said the Open Space Fund can't be used for maintenance, and yet the 5.6 million dollar proposal is for a settlement. She asked Mr. Trask to clarify whether or not the balance between the appraised value and the 5.6 million dollars is in the form of a settlement. Mr. Trask explained that the Open Space Commission can advise the Council, however, ultimately Council makes the decision on how to spend the money. He said the settlement includes pending litigation cases that will be dropped pursuant to an agreed upon purchase price of the property. Mr. Trask said the properties immediately makai of the parcel in question are properties that were acquired by the County through condemnation in the amount of 5.89 million dollars for 2.6 acres. Regardless of what a professional appraiser says, the price in a condemnation action is determined by a jury; the jury said 5.8 million dollars for 2.6 acres. He said the argument would be that 3.02 acres should cost more than 2.6 acres. Mr. Trask reiterated that it is ultimately up to Council to proceed with the proposed settlement, and asked the Commission to consider the property as an important asset for the North Shore community. He added that this was an opportunity for the Open Space Commission to ask Council to increase the 0.5% Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 5 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION of real property taxes allocated to the Open Space Fund. Chair Kimura commented that during the approximately four years she has been i on the Open Space Commission, every report she has seen for possible acquisition, the Department of Parks and Recreation has said they cannot maintain any more property than what they already have due to the lack of manpower. Mr. Trask provided that there is a Parks Master Plan process that has been ongoing for the past four to five years, however, he is not involved in operations policies; he is strictly a legal advisor. Chair Kimura asked Mr. Trask for his opinion on the precedence that was being set in this case as it relates to the work the Open Space Commission does to which Mr. Trask replied there was no precedent for this purchase whatsoever because it is so unique. He said anything subsequent to this matter would be a false analogy to anything else. Mr. Blake stated that the strategy he was looking at was to ask Council to increase the 0.5% of real property taxes allocated to the Open Space Fund. Mr. Hull stated that Chair Kimura's position was that the Commission support the acquisition using the funds up to, but not to exceed, the appraised value of the property. He said the recommendation could also include Mr. Blake's suggestion regarding the percentage increase of real property taxes to rebuild the Open Space Fund. Chair Kimura stated that Council wanted to know the Commission's position and it was important to provide that to them along with the recommendation relating to the use of the funds and the percentage. She said the Commission's response needed to be very clear, concise, and comprehensive. Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 6 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION The Commission recessed at 9:37 a.m. The Commission reconvened at 9:56 a.m. Mr. Hull provided the Commission with proposed draft language for a motion: "The Commission supports the acquisition of the subject parcel. However, the Commission recommends that the funds utilized from the Public Access, Open Space, Natural Resources Preservation Fund not exceed the appraised value of the subject property. Any additional funds for acquisition should be found from another fund source. Furthermore, in order to replenish the Public Access, Open Space, Natural Resources Preservation Fund, the Commission recommends increasing the current minimum one-half of one percent (0.501o) ofKaua'i's annual certified real property taxes to one point five percent (1.5°/a) for the next four (4) years. " Mr. Blake asked whether or not the four-year timeframe was appropriate to which Mr. Hull said he didn't think it was a bad idea because the Commission is specifically addressing the proposed acquisition and replenishment of the funds used. He said the Commission's biannual report already recommends the 0.5% be increased to 1.5%. Administrator Nicholas Courson recommended the Commission put the proposed language on the Open Space Commission's letterhead, signed by either the Chair or by all members, and forward it to Council. Mr. Blake suggested all Commissioners sign the letter. Mr. Texeira moved to approve the proposed language as read. Mr. Blake seconded the motion. Mr. Courson recommended the Commission amend the main motion to include the Commission send a letter to Council, signed by all seven Commission members. Mr. Texeira moved to amend the main motion by adding the Commission send a Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 7 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION letter to the County Council, signed by all seven Commission members. Mr. Blake seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0. Mr. Texeira moved to approve the main motion as amended. Mr. Blake seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0. Review and discussion of Commission's February 8, 2018 site „visits: • Access to Lawa`i Kai (Allerton's) Koloa Mr. Blake stated that he has been working with the Lawa`i Kai National Tropical Botanical Gardens and Kukui`ula informally for about 2'12 years. He said Chipper Wichman, the CEO for NTBG, said they wanted to discuss a safer access to Lawa`i Kai because they realized that anybody using the current legal access could be injured and NTBG would be liable. Mr. Blake said NTBG's proposal included no vehicular access from Spouting Horn Road, no more than 30 people on the beach at one time with a gate on Spouting Horn Road to monitor access, and no toilets. Mr. Blake said there is a paved County road that goes from Spouting Horn Park down to the Allerton gates, and the area from the gate down to the Allerton's driveway is owned by Kukui`ula. His concern is that Kukui`ula could block that access and take over the beach for their own use. Mr. Blake said there will be a community meeting on April 19" with Kukui`ula and the K61oa Community Association regarding the matter. He said once various issues were resolved, he would make a formal request to the Open Space Commission. New Business • 0.2764 acre parcel located in Hanapepe, Hanapepe Ahupuaa Kona Moku, further identified as Tax Map Key (TMK) (4) 1-8-008:065 (For Action) continued a. Supplemental No. 1 to Preliminary Report pertaining to this matter 0 0.2867 acre parcel located in Hanapepe, Hanapepe Ahupuaa, Kona Moku, Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 8 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION further identified as Tax May Key (TMK) (4)_1-8-008:071 a. Supplemental No. 1 to Preliminary Report pertaining to this matter Mr. Hull stated that the two parcels make up one parcel for the staging site of the Hanapepe Massacre. He said the landowner has expressed interest in selling the properties to the County, and last week the landowner contacted the Department to say he was authorized to enter into negotiations with the County for acquisition of the properties. He said an appraiser was procured and he hopes to have an appraisal in the next two months. Mr. Hull added that an appraisal was done for the Kekaha Cemetery site which he could provide to the Commission confidentially, and that the appraisal was forwarded to the Council. Mr. Blake asked if the Council was going to do their own appraisal to which Mr. Hull said if Council feels the appraisal is too low, they may do their own. • View from Kaumuali`i Highway of the lands mauka of Salt Pond Beach Park Mr. Hull said the property is owned by the State and while it is in the general interest of the public as a possible acquisition, because there would be no actual financial transaction for the acquisition., the property isn't within the purview of the Commission. Mr. Blake asked if the Commission could do anything further to which Mr. Hull said the item could be placed on a future agenda for further discussion, and a letter could be transmitted to the Mayor's Office encouraging the administration to engage in negotiations with the State for an executive order for the lands to be handed over to the County. Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa agreed, saying that the Commission has the authority to advocate for any resources to be protected and provide feedback on the Department's priorities. Mr. Hull added that in the sense that the overall purview of the Commission is looking at open space and preservation, it is within the Commission's purview to advocate for the lands and transmit a letter to the responsible parties; however, when looked at Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 9 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION more narrowly, the Commission's purview is specifically related to the fund and how that fund is used for acquisition. With no further discussion, Mr. Hull asked for a motion to receive the reports Mr. Blake moved to receive the reports. related to the February 8, 2018, site visits. Mr. Texeira seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0. Review and discussion on the presentation to the Kauai County Council on May 10, 2018, regarding priority recommendations. Mr. Hull noted that the date in the agenda item should be May 9, 2018. Mr. Hull stated that the agenda item was in conjunction to the Black Pot Beach acquisition for 5.6 million dollars, and that in response to some of the Commission's concerns, Council requested a list of the Commission's priorities for future acquisition. He said currently Council is considering two proposals; the Hoban property which they have authorized the County Attorney's Office to enter into negotiations with the landowner, and the Kekaha Cemetery which they have recently reviewed and discussed, for approximately 566 thousand dollars. Mr. Hull added that the Commission is awaiting an appraisal for the Hanapepe properties, and are tentatively reviewing the proposal for the Waipa acquisition for approximately 1.2 million dollars which will be on the Commission's May agenda. Mr. Hull stated that the Open Space Fund has 6.4 million dollars. If the proposed 5.6 million dollar acquisition is approved the fund would be reduced to 800 thousand dollars. As of July 1st, he said the fund can anticipate approximately 600 thousand dollars being deposited into the fund which would bring the fund balance up to roughly 1.4 million dollars. However, if the Council does not increase the Open Space Fund and does not provide funds from other sources, all the projects, including those that are currently at Council as well as pending projects, could not be funded with the 1.4 million dollars. Mr. Hull said the Council wanted the Commission to provide a prioritized list of the existing Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 10 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION projects at the May 9 h Council meeting. Mr. Texeira voiced his concern regarding the short time frame and asked if the Commission had to provide a prioritized list to which Mr. Hull stated that ultimately the Commission needed to update Council concerning the projects that Council has and the projects the Commission has on the horizon. He said the Waipa and Hanapepe projects more than likely, if an agreement could be reached with the landowners, would go via the dossier process. Mr. Hull said it was up to the Commission whether or not they wanted to prioritize their list; however, if they chose not to, then Council will make that assessment on their own. Mr. Blake stated that he didn't want to prioritize the list because he felt the whole list was the Commission's priority and wanted money for the entire list of projects. Chair Kimura asked Ms. Sadora how the projects were addressed in the biannual report to which Ms. Sadora provided that they were categorized by projects that are in the dossier process, current properties for Commission action, properties being considered but are on hold for various reasons, and properties that were before the Commission but are no longer active. Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa stated that the Open Space Commission's rules specify that the Commission would make an attempt to prioritize recommended projects. Mr. Hull said that how the report is transmitted to Council is up for discussion. However, if the report does not contain a prioritized list, whoever attends the Council meeting on May 9th should be prepared to answer the question from Council as to the Commission's top priority projects. Ms. Sadora provided that in the past when the Commission has gone before Council with a list, Council automatically took the items as they were listed in the report as the Commission's priorities. Mr. Hull stated that more than likely there will an appraisal in May for the Waipa roject for the Commission to take action on at their meeting, and then forwarded Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 11 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION to Council for roughly a 1.4 million dollar ask. A month or two later, the Hanapepe project could be transmitted over to Council for anywhere from 300 to 700 thousand dollars and Council could ask the Commission which one they wanted to fund. Chair Kimura said she would have to recuse herself from any discussion regarding the Waipa project at the Council meeting on May 9ffi. The Commission recessed at 10:44 a.m. The Commission reconvened at 10:52 a.m. Chair Kimura stated that the agenda item was about priority recommendations and one mindset is that all the projects are the Commission's priorities; the other mindset is that the Commission be prepared for the direct line of questioning by Council regarding one specific priority project. She asked the Commissioners if it was their wish to say that the status of the projects would be the criteria for prioritization. Ms. Ono said the projects that are farther along would take precedence over the ones that are in the beginning stages. Mr. Hull stated that another possible avenue the Commission could take would be through the dossier process. He explained that transmitting a project to Council would effectively prioritize it. For example, if the Waipa project for 1.4 million dollars is ready to move in May, and the Hanapepe project for 300 to 700 thousand dollars is close to moving, the Commission's prioritization would come in the form of which project gets sent to Council. Mr. Hull said the response to Council on May 9th would be that the Commission has two projects and Council should prioritize them as they see fit. He said the Planning Department could work with Chair Kimura to draft a list of projects that are on the Commission's table now, highlighting Waipa and Hanapepe which are close to action, but there would be no further prioritization of projects until they are sent to Council for Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 12 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION subsequent action. Mr. Hull stated that Council already has the appraisal for the Kekaha Cemetery for 599 thousand dollars. He said at the May 9' Council meeting, the Commission can explain to Council that the Waipa project will be 1.4 million dollars and the Hanapepe project will be approximately 600 thousand dollars. The two projects, along with the Kekaha Cemetery project, amount to 2.6 million dollars which will make it abundantly clear to Council that their proposed 5.6 million dollar acquisition will hinder the Commission's ability to look at future projects. Mr. Hull added that the Commission should anticipate Council " asking which projects they want to fund, and it would be appropriate to say they are currently weighing the Hanapepe and Waipa projects and once a decision has been made, the Commission will transmit that project to Council. Mr. Texeira moved to support the statement made by Mr. Hull, that the Planning Department work with Chair Kimura to develop the language for the letter to the Council, and that a PowerPoint presentation be presented to Council at the May 9a' Council meeting. Mr. Jasper seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0. Unfinished Review_ and discussion of a 1.15 acre parcel located in Kalihiwai, Kalihiwai Ahupuaa, Halalea Moku, further identified as Tax„Map_Ke_y_(TMK) (4) 5-3-003- Business (For 068. (deferred 2/8/18� Action) a. Preliminary report pertaining to this matter Mr. Hull stated that the item was before the Commission because there was a question regarding the tax map key number and the exact location of the property. Ms. Sadora read portions of the preliminary report for the record (on file with the Planning Department) Ms. Sadora clarified that the property is located on the Kalihiwai side of the Kalihiwai River and referred to Exhibit C. Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 13 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Mr. Hull stated that the Department has determined that the property potentially fulfills open space acquisition criteria and is recommending tentative approval to authorize the Department to further investigate whether or not the property should receive final approval. Mr. Texeira moved to approve tentative approval for TMK (4) 5-3-003-068. Ms. Ono seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0.

Preliminary report pertaining to this matter Mr. Hull stated the Department's recommendation for tentative approval is virtually identical to the previous agenda item. Mr. Texeira moved to approve tentative approval for TMK 5-3-003:029, Ms. Ono seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0. Proposed Amendments to the Charter of the County of Kauai Section 19.15 Fund Administration, C. Public Access, Open Space, Natural Resources Preservation Fund Mr. Hull stated that the Charter Review Commission has approved the proposed Charter amendments for the 2018 ballot. Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa said she spoke with the Charter Review Commission's attorney and there is an executive session and an action item scheduled for the next Charter Review Commission meeting in May regarding the proposed Charter amendment. Mr. Hull explained that the first proposed Charter amendment would allow the Open Space Fund to be used for improvements and maintenance on properties Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 14 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION purchased with the Open Space Fund. He said what the Open Space Commission has found as a significant barrier to many acquisitions is the Commission's inability to improve or maintain a site once they acquire it. As an example, if the Commission acquired a coastal access for public use, they could improve and maintain it using the Open Space Fund. Mr. Blake expressed his concern that the Parks Department could say they don't have money and refer their maintenance issues to the Open Space Fund. Mr. Hull clarified the proposed amendment was limited only to Open Space Fund acquisitions. He said any expenditure out of the Open Space Fund would be vetted by the Open Space Commission and sent to Council for their approval. Mr. Hull clarified that the proposal provides that any maintenance related fund requests would have to go before the Open Space Commission to provide input, and forwarded to Council for approval. He said at the end of the day it is the Council's prerogative whether or not they expend those funds for maintenance purposes. Mr. Hull clarified that the second proposed amendment provides that funds may also be used to improve or maintain public pedestrian accesses to coastal areas. He said the reason for the proposed amendment is that former Commissioners commissioned a study to catalogue all public access easements that exist on Kauai of which there are hundreds. The County has legal rights to these accesses, however, they only exist on paper and are not demarcated or maintained for public access. Mr. Blake asked whether or not the Commission could prioritize the list of identified public accesses to which Mr. Hull said he thought it would be incumbent upon the Commission should the proposed amendment be adopted to prioritize the list. Mr. Hull stated that he felt, based on the Commission's discussion, that the phrase "and maintenance" was going to be removed from the first proposed Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 15 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION amendment, and asked if the Commission had the same intention with the second proposed amendment. If so, he said it would behoove the Commission to, upon considering projects for improvement, simultaneously work to find an organization or entity that could maintain the sites. Mr. Hull added that in some cases an organization or entity for maintenance may not exist, which could potentially hinder the Commission from approving the site. He asked the Commission to clarify if their intention was to remove "and maintenance " from the first proposed amendment and "or maintain" from the second proposed amendment. Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa stated the Charter sets out the parameters for use of the Open Space Fund, and the actual logistics of the process for setting out what the fund may be used for per year is via ordinance. The ordinance sets out the rules of the Commission which is to work with the Planning Department to prioritize projects. She said if the intent is to make sure the Commission is consulted regarding use of the funds for maintenance projects, it might be an ordinance clarification in addition to the proposed Charter amendment. Mr. Texeira asked if the Commission could submit recommendations to the Charter Review Commission to which Mr. Hull said yes. Chair Kimura left the meeting at 11:32 a.m. Ms. Ono moved to remove under paragraph C, "and maintenance," and remove under No. 3, "or maintain" from the proposed Charter amendment. Ms. Taniguchi seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0. New Business Update and discussion of the Commission's workplan/timeline of events and activities through 2018 (For Action) Continued Ms. Sadora stated that the Commission didn't have anything set in place at this time, however, the Commission was going to discuss doing public outreach every Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission Regular Open Session April 12, 2018 Page 16 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION year instead of just in the biannual year or when the Commission produced a report to Council. She offered to provide the Commission with a timeline for public outreach, saying that this may be a good year for public outreach because it is not a reporting year to Council. Mr. Sadora said she could contact neighborhood and community associations that the Commission could go before and try to get on their scheduled meeting agendas. She said that way when the Commission is going into their 2019 reporting year, they would have public outreach information for their biannual report. Vice Chair Blake invited Mr. Hull to attend the K61oa Community Association meeting on April 19ffi to which Mr. Hull accepted. Mr. Texeira moved to receive the update. Ms. Ono seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0. Announcements There were no Announcements. Next Meeting Vice Chair Blake asked that Nancy Kanna be at the next meeting for an informal Date and interview with the Commission. Agenda Topics for Discussion With no further business, Vice Chair Blake asked for a motion to adjourn. Adjournment Mr. Texeira moved to adjourn the meeting at 11:44 a.m. Ms. Ono seconded the motion.
