Council Vice Chair Chock: Is Mr. Smith here?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
JIM SMITH (via remote technology): Good morning, Members of the
Council. Good afternoon, from the East Coast. It is a pleasure to be here again.
Today, I am joined by my colleagues, Kierstin Stradford and Catherine Beal, both are
senior members of the Smith Dawson & Andrews, Inc. (SDA) team. We greatly
appreciate the opportunity to appear before you this morning to give our annual
report. I think you know that I am Jim Smith, the President of Smith Dawson &
Andrews, Inc. We have had a great partnership with the County now for several
years, and have worked with both the Office of the Mayor and the Council, and the
County staff, and look forward to an annual federal agenda, representing the
interests and priorities of the people of Kauai. I think we can say that we have done
that with some success, and this past year has been no exception. As you know, it
has been an extremely busy year, beginning with the election and inauguration of
President Biden and his Administration, which came to office in January 2020. We
were immediately hit by the impacts and effects of the pandemic, and the
administration was funded with pandemic relief legislation, in the form of the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), both of which Kauai fell very well under; Catherine will go
through that in a little more detail. We also had a number of successes and Federal
programs ranging from appropriations that we will talk about more later in our
presentation. Of course, recently, with the announcement of the Rebuilding
American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) award, the
twenty-four million eight hundred thousand dollars ($24,800,000) pending approval
by United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) for the Po`ipu Road and
mobility project. There is a lot to cover here, so I will not take up any more time. We
did present a document, which I think you should have, before we move this morning,
and I think it is up on the screen, so we can follow through that, and we can go
through these projects in more detail. Of course, we will be available and open for
questions and answers after Catherine and Kierstin go through this presentation.
Let me also just say, it has been a great honor and real privilege to work for the
County of Kauai on behalf of the Council and the Office of the Mayor. We greatly
value our partnership with the County, and I would be remissed if I did not mention
the support and effectiveness of Hawaii Congressional Delegation. Without them,
none of this would be successful or possible...Senator Schatz, Senator Hirono, and
Congressman Kahele have been extremely supportive of Kaua`i's Federal priorities,
COUNCIL MEETING 4 AUGUST 17, 2022
and "go to bat" for the County every day in Washington. With that, I will turn it over
to Catherine, and let her go through the slide there.
CATHERINE BEAL (via remote technology): Thank you, Jim. It is great to
see you all via Teams. As Jim previewed, we have a lot of information, and we will
try to get through it as quickly as possible. Starting with the Coronavirus pandemic
relief legislation. As you folks are probably very aware, in March 2020, Congress
passed the CARES Act, which provided funding to the State, and the State has
allocated eight million two hundred thousand dollars ($8,200,000) to the County. In
March 2021, Congress passed the ARPA in which the County received fourteen
million twenty thousand dollars ($14,020,000) directly from Treasury. I know that
you folks are working through spending the ARPA dollars and creating those action
plans, and we have been very pleased to see how the County has spent those dollars
and look forward to seeing how the rest of those dollars are spent. Also included in
the Coronavirus relief legislation were unemployment dollars, paycheck protection,
and economic injury disaster loans. We did provide information and worked closely
with the County and the Delegation on getting information out to the community.
There is also additional funding for already established programs, such as the Native
Hawaiian Housing Block Grant Program, and other programs. Those were really
strong ways to rebound against the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. Moving on
to the next slide.
In November 2021, Congress passed a huge transportation and infrastructure
law, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, or the investment infrastructure and jobs
that those names are intertwined, and that was a one trillion two million
dollars ($1,200,000,000) package that reauthorized service transportation programs
for five (5) years, and included series of increased funding for well-known programs,
such as RAISE, and new programs, such as the PROTECT Act; healthy streets,
carbon reduction programs, we have some highlights on the slide; U.S. DOT, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE),
including more departments and agencies that are still working on creating the
notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) to set up those programs, and we are
sharing the grant notices of funding once those become available. Even though one
trillion two million dollars ($1,200,000,000) is a lot of money, there is a lot of
competition and demand for these programs, so generally speaking, applicants to
these programs will be successful when they are shovel-ready projects that have a
real demonstrated impact on the community, and as those NOFOs, as we call them,
we will continue to update the County with those.
Federal grants in general, we do send weekly updates to the Office of the
Mayor, and to Department Heads on grants as they become available. We have sent
grant announcements in a range of different areas including public safety, community
and economic development, housing, natural resources...we do have a list there, and
we are happy to go into detail with any of these grant areas. Then, of course, as Jim
said, and as you folks know, last week, the U.S. DOT announced that the County
successfully was awarded twenty-four million eight hundred thousand
dollars ($24,800,000) for the Po`ipu Road RAISE application. The County applied for
RAISE in a previous cycle, which many years ago was called Transportation
Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) in which the County was a
COUNCIL MEETING 5 AUGUST 17, 2022
TIGER Grant recipient. After the 2021 application, we facilitated meetings with the
U.S. DOT, where they highlighted the one (1) area where the application could be
strengthened was in the benefit cost analysis, and in that, we did work with the
County and brought in additional resources to really help strengthen this wonderful
application successfully, because you folks got the award last week, so that is terrific,
congratulations.
The appropriations process. Every year, we submit programmatic requests on
behalf of the County. The most programmatic requests are to maintain or increase
funding for already established programs like the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant, Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP), the Women, Infants, and Children's (WIC) Grant,
et cetera., we submit a lot of programmatic requests to preserve and maintain
funding. For the first time since 2010, in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, Congress brought
back community spending, which are also known as earmarks, and we worked very
closely with the County to create two (2) applications that were funded in FY 2022,
one for the Level 3 Electric Vehicle Charging Network, and the other for Lima Ola,
and those projects were included in the FY 2022 appropriations process that was
signed into law March 2022, so just a couple of months ago. The U.S. DOT in
conjunction with the Hawaii Department of Transportation, along with the U.S.
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office, they are working with the County to
finalize those funding agreements for those two (2) projects, and we expect that there
should be dollars transferred within the next couple of weeks, if not months, but we
are working closely and keeping our eyes on that. All of FY 2022 was following up,
we also jumped into the FY 2023 process, which is still ongoing, and FY 2023 begins
October 18t, and in addition to submitting those programmatic requests, we also
worked closely with the County and the Congressional offices to support three (3)
projects, which have been included in the Senate and House appropriations bills. As
you can see, additional funding for Lima Ola, the `Ele`ele Water Reservation and
Transmission System, and the Wailua/Kapa`a Sewer Collection System Inspection.
Those three (3) projects, because they are in the FY 2023 bills, those have not been
finalized or signed into law yet, but we do expect that Congress will pass those bills
towards the end of this calendar year, potentially in December, and that is where we
will see if those projects end up in the final bill, which will hopefully be signed into
law quickly. We are closely monitoring that, but these are very successful projects
and hopefully those three (3) projects will make it into the final FY 2023 bill.
That was a lot of information from me. I am going to turn it over to Kierstin
to touch on more great things that are in the works. After that, we would love to hear
your questions or comments. Kierstin, over to you.
KIERSTIN STRADFORD (via remote technology): Thank you, Catherine.
Good morning everyone, it is great to meet you all via Teams. I will talk a little bit
more about the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2022. To give a little
bit more context into the legislation, in December 2020, the Water Resources
Development Act, also known as WRDA, was signed into law. This legislation
authorized studies of projects within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works
Mission Areas, and this includes flood damage reduction, hurricane and storm
damage reduction, shoreline protection, and ecosystem restoration. It also provides
COUNCIL MEETING 6 AUGUST 17, 2022
the Army Corps the authority to address local environmental infrastructure needs.
This legislation is re-authorized every two (2) years, giving Congress the opportunity
to oversee the deployment and implementation of the Corps studies and projects.
Smith Dawson & Andrews (SDA), we work with the County to identify projects that
could be eligible for funding under the U.S. Army Corps Section 219, Environmental
Infrastructure (EI) program, this authorization if secured, would enable the County
to apply for funding within Section 219 for water, wastewater, and sewer projects.
We work with the delegation to facilitate submissions of the authorization requests,
and Congressman Kahele included a twenty million dollar ($20,000,000)
county-specific EI authorization in the House WRDA 2022 draft bill. Senator Schatz
and Senator Hirono included a seventy-five million dollar ($75,000,000) Statewide EI
authorization in the Senate WRDA draft bill. The House and Senate are reconciling
the two (2) drafts and are expected to pass the legislation by the end of the year. So,
if the Statewide authorization moves forward, the County will still have an
opportunity to apply for funding under that authorization.
I will move on to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, which was recently
signed into law by President Biden, yesterday. This historic law results from months
of negotiation between Congress and the Biden Administration. This legislation
includes seven hundred thirty-nine billion dollars ($739,000,000,000) in investments
to fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, and
reduce carbon emissions by roughly forty percent (40%) by 2030. This bill will also
allow Medicare to negotiate for prescription drug prices and extend the expanded
Affordable Care Act program for three (3) years, through 2025. We have included
some highlights up on the screen, but I will just pull a few that may be of interests to
the County. Two billion six hundred thousand dollars ($2,600,000,000) to invest in
Coastal Communities and Climate Resilience, three billion dollars ($3,000,000,000)
for Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grants, nine billion
dollars ($9,000,000,000) in consumer home energy rebate programs, focused on low-
income consumers to electrify home appliances and energy efficient retrofits. Like
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, various agencies will be working to implement
and deploy programs included in the bill, some new and some old, over the next few
months. Our team will continue to monitor the notices of funding, the leases, and
inform the County of any opportunities. That concludes our high-level overview of
some of the work we have engaged in with the County over the last year. We are
happy to answer any questions or comments that you may have.
Mr. Smith: I will just add to Kierstin's comments
regarding the Inflation Reduction Act, this legislation literally just signed into law
yesterday afternoon by President Biden, so it is "hot off the presses." The legislation
now goes to the appropriate agencies to implement, and to put out NOFOs and
guidelines, and we will be tracking that very closely in the weeks and months ahead.
Thank you, and happy to take any questions.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. I will open it up for questions
from the Members? Would anyone like to kick us off? Councilmember Evslin,
followed by Councilmember Cowden.
COUNCIL MEETING 7 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Evslin: Thank you folks for the great presentation.
You addressed most of my questions pre-emptively going through that, and I
appreciate all the work you folks have done, especially, helping secure the
twenty-four million dollars ($24,000,000) for Po`ipu, which is going to be a really great
project. I asked you folks a similar question last year, so there has been word for
years about trying to do more, as I understand, to increase opportunities for grants
to municipalities who have eased zoning restrictions. I know that the Biden
Administration in May, I believe, announced some White House Housing Program
Action Plan with a bunch of bullet points on how they are going to incentivize housing
production. Their number one thing was rewarding municipalities who have eased
exclusionary zoning and done sort of main stream things to encourage housing
production in downtown areas. There is a bunch of other stuff in there about
financing for Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs) and helping ease permit barriers for
manufactured housing, but from what I have see online, it seems like there is just a
big outline of a plan, and I do not really see a lot of specifics of how we can take
advantage of it from a policy perspective here, and if there are things like competitive
DOT grant programs that are rewarding municipalities who have reduced zoning
barriers to housing construction. If you have any specific guidance on what types of
barriers exactly they are looking at us reducing; I think we have done a lot already,
but there is a lot more to do, so anything along those lines that you could help provide
guidance on. This might be a follow-up response, if you want to give us more detail
later.
Mr. Smith: Catherine.
Ms. Beal: Yes, we are happy to do a deeper dive. Sorry,
just to clarify, are you looking for specific grant programs, or are you looking for the
criteria of coming out of the President's action plan?
Councilmember Evslin: Probably both. The action plan number one
bullet on it says, "Reward jurisdictions that have reformed zoning and land use
policies with higher scores in certain grant processes for the first time at scale." As I
understand, there were things in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that helped
reward municipalities with grants that have done these types of zoning reform, but I
cannot find exactly what the zoning reform they are looking for that gets rewarded,
so as we are helping develop policy, it would help if we know specifically, what types
of zoning reform would get rewarded, and then there are other sort of things about
financing for ADU construction and manufactured housing, so any specifics from the
Housing plan that you could provide us would be great.
Ms. Beal: Absolutely. I would love to do a follow-up just
so we can give you that full view, but we will definitely look into that and get you all
of those specifics.
Councilmember Evslin: Thank you.
Ms. Beal: Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Councilmember Cowden.
COUNCIL MEETING 8 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: I want to start by thanking you for the work
that you folks are doing for us. I am especially happy about the items on slide 7, the
larger Lima Ola, it really makes a big difference. If I am hearing you correctly saying
it is not yet completely approved, is that right? It still has to go through one (1) more
layer before they say "yes."
Ms. Beal: Correct. The FY 2022 projects signed into law
and the County is currently working with DOT and HUD. FY 2023 is still pending,
and we do expect to see final bills signed into law around December.
Councilmember Cowden: Around December.
Mr. Smith: The FY 2022 community directive spending
projects, it has taken the agency a little longer than normal to get that guidance, and
those grant agreements out. As Catherine mentioned in her comments, this is the
first time that Congress has done with what they used to refer to as earmarking in
over ten (10) years. There has been a lot of turnovers in agency and the Congress
since that last round of earmarks occurred, so it took the department a little while to
stand these programs up, but they have gotten the guidance down, they are issuing
grant agreements, so as Catherine said, I think that money should flow relatively
quickly.
Councilmember Cowden: The reason I was asking is, I would like to set
an expectation both for myself and what I articulate appropriately. I do not watch
the national too heavy, it is hard to watch some of the things that are going on, but it
sounds like there might be some changes in November, so if there are significant
changes in November, how likely is any of this stuff to get blocked at that point? Can
they just say they are not going to...a lot of times it can take close to a year to approve
the budget, so is this in the pipeline, so it might not happen?
Mr. Smith: You are right, there could be changes after
November, of course, the midterm elections are being held this November, and there
is a lot of speculation that the House of Representatives Majority could change from
Democratic to Republican, and should that occur, obviously the Republicans would
have different priorities that they would like to initiate in the House, but that being
said, none of this money would be impacted by this. The money that was appropriated
earmarked 2022 for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, and for Lima Ola, those dollars
have been approved, signed into law, and on the verge of executing grant aid, any
change in majority of Congress is not going to impact that money. Hopefully, this
money that is currently pending earmarked 2023 appropriations bills, which
Congress is still working on, and for which we did secure additional assistance for
local projects, hopefully, they will complete that appropriations process before the end
of the calendar year and will be signed into law. Again, if that happens, regardless
of what the outcome of the elections are, those projects would still be funded. The
bigger question is, what is going to happen if the House Majority would go
Republican, are the Republicans going to continue their community directive
spending, or earmarks as we call them, and that we just do not know, that will just
have to wait and see whether or not this funding stream remains a viable option for
the County and other projects. I hope that clarifies it.
COUNCIL MEETING 9 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: That is exactly what I was asking, so thank
you. I am happy to hear there will not be disruption on elements like Lima Ola. I
just want to make sure, and that is what I have been told, but I just needed to really
nail that down.
Mr. Jim: You can go to the "bank" on that.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay. The Water Resource Development Act
that is also solid, because we really need help in that direction, so that money in the
Water Resource Development on slide 8, that is also "in the bank," as you say.
Ms. Stradford: Each chamber has a separate version of the
bill, and they are in the process of reconciling those two (2) versions, so that bill is not
finalized as of yet, but largely, that legislation has been bipartisan in nature, and
both sides of the aisle worked together to draft that legislation, so I think a lot of the
provisions and the funding amounts that are included in the final work out legislation
will remain.
Mr. Smith: We expect Congress to finish this legislation
before the end of the calendar year and the President sign it into law. Until then,
this is just draft legislation.
Councilmember Cowden: Thank you, Kierstin and Jim on that. Then, I
have a training question to be an effective Councilmember, and this might be for
Mr. Dahilig, but when we go to the National Association of Counties (NACo) events,
you must be well aware of the NACo.
Mr. Smith: Yes, very much so.
Councilmember Cowden: They give us these NOFOs, and these are a
little smaller nuance ones for which I tend to be most aware is housing and how to be
dealing with our most vulnerable people on that spectrum. What is the role, when
we see as Councilmembers, good NOFOs, is that for us and Mr. Dahilig? How do we
kick that back up to our people in Washington? Jim, Kierstin, and Catherine, do we
have you help us get that money? How does it work when we see good things, even
the house to funds?
Mr. Smith: We provide those NOFOs to the Office of the
Mayor, and I will let Mike explain the process from there.
MICHAEL A. DAHILIG, Managing Director (via remote technology): Good
morning, Councilmembers. Mike Dahilig, for the record. As Jim mentioned, that is
why we have Smith Dawson &Andrews in Washington D.C. for us to flag things that
they know we are working on, and the things that may meet what our competitive
opportunities for us to go and get these grants. In our experience, what has seemed
to be the lead formula has been both persistence, as well as having things that are
shovel-ready, or close to being shovel-ready. Having those plans on deck is typically
when they pair a NOFO interest from individual Councilmembers that say, "I got
wind of this at NACo, would you mind taking a look at this, and see if we can pair
COUNCIL MEETING 10 AUGUST 17, 2022
things?" That communication does go back and forth, and if we do put together a
package, ultimately, it does end up coming before your body for an approval to apply,
receive, and expend, before we actually turn the wheels on anything, so that is where
the Council involvement both informally and formally comes into the grant process.
Typically because of the highly competitive nature of these Federal grants, I once
remarked that getting a TIGER grant was harder than getting into Harvard based
on the way that the statistics go. That is why we want to hold as many bullets as we
can, that we do not spray them around on every single NOFO that is out there. We
have to be focused and diligent in being competitive and answering the agencies
questions in a rapid and timely fashion. Since the Obama Administration had
actually transitioned to more of this competitive nature in removing the earmarks
that are being discussed has been brought back, that competitive process is what we
have been building as capacity throughout our different departments. When we see
a green light from SDA saying this is a good match, lets "gun" it—we will push it,
then when we do have the authorization from you folks at Council to actually submit
an application, they will keep tabs on us, and also engage the agencies. I will say
that they have been extremely helpful during the pandemic when we have not had
the opportunity to be on the ground in Washington due to flight restrictions et cetera,
to be able to lobby and push our projects for us. That is how we engage with our
consultants, that is how we engage with you folks, and that is how we want to compete
to win.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you. I guess I just have one (1)
last question that is a concept question. When I am at NACo, what I notice is that
almost everything is a competitive grant, so when we do these things on a competitive
grant structure, we are really only able to address the problem through the lens of
what the Federal government wants us to do it on, because I am getting a lot of
complaints that were looking a bit mainland, or any place in the continental US or
sometimes if things are not unique enough, is that correct? Pretty much all the
Federal funding now that is not Social Security or something, but they are pretty
much all competitive, so we have to ask for the money in a very narrow way through
what they want us to do, am I getting that correct, through these competitive grants
clearly defined...
Mr. Smith: Yes, you are correct in that the Federal
government through these grant programs will dictate what their objectives are, and
sometimes they do not align with local needs and priorities, which is what Mike was
alluding to; how we scrutinize these grants. We look to grant opportunities that do
align with local needs and local priorities in Kauai and will the criteria for those
grants match up well with local conditions, and the local environment. Like Mike
said, it is a competitive process; we are competing against other communities in the
U.S., so we do not just go after every grant that comes along, we try to be more
strategic, and find opportunities in areas where we are fulfilling the Federal
government's objectives and the Federal government, through their grant program,
are fulfilling our local needs and priorities in Kauai.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you. That is very helpful,
because when I am looking at these NOFOs that are out there, we are atypical of the
COUNCIL MEETING 11 AUGUST 17, 2022
continental U.S. in a big area, so some of the things do not match well, but I am
hearing you that you have that filter on fully. I appreciate that.
Mr. Jim: Yes, we do have that filter on it, and I will say
that I get the direction of the Federal government in the last eighteen (18) months, I
think aligns more closely with the needs of Kauai in the areas of climate resilience
and coastal communities, and renewable energy. These are now priorities of the
Federal government, where they always have not been in the past, but have always
been priority for Kauai, so I would like to think that the Federal government's finally
catching up with Kauai.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Kuali`i: Aloha, I will start by saying, mahalo nui loa,
thank you also for this very thorough update on your advocacy efforts on our behalf
in Washington DC. On slide 5, you quickly went through the Federal grants and you
said you could provide more detail. I am especially interested in Housing and
Community Economic Development. I am the Committee Chair on Housing &
Intergovernmental Relations Committee and the Vice Chair on Finance & Economic
Development Committee. As for housing, of course we all know about CDBG and
HOME as ongoing long-term sources of Federal funding that we take advantage of,
but I am curious to know if there is other funding that you can tell us about, just as
an example. Also, anything about community and economic development.
Ms. Beal: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law did
include, as well as when ARPA, some funding for the Economic Development
Administration for some new innovative Economic Development Grants, those were
not funded as highly as the demand was for, so that was an incredibly competitive
process for this past year. In addition, yes, you are right, CDBG is formula, so there
is no competition within a formula grant space, and there are other neighborhood and
community grants that are out of HUD and we can definitely provide a list of those
programs that we are tracking.
Councilmember Kuali`i: I am sure the Housing Agency is working
closely with you, but obviously, with all of this funding with the rental assistance,
that was all really great. Even with the HUD money that we do get, that is great
also, but we have...I forget the number, but it is a really high number of people with
HUD vouchers, but they cannot use them, and they have sixty (60) days, then can
extend it another thirty (30) days, but we just do not have the inventory of housing.
Obviously need Federal funding to build more housing, and all types of housing, of
course, affordable housing, rental housing, apartment buildings, and smaller units,
and a lot of them, so it still seems like that is the kind of money that we need the
most is not necessarily what the Federal government is providing, or am I wrong?
Mr. Smith: You are right. That is a major need, not only
in Kauai, but throughout the Nation. I will add, that it remains a priority for the
Biden Administration; however, in fact, in the Build Back Better Program, which was
Biden's original proposal after he passed the CARES and ARPA Act was to pass this
Build Back Better Program, and included hundreds and millions of dollars for
COUNCIL MEETING 12 AUGUST 17, 2022
housing and new housing construction. Unfortunately, that is what was brought
down in negotiations between the two (2) Houses and the two (2) parties for the last
eighteen (18) months, it finally emerged as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which
President Biden just signed yesterday, but that legislation went from three trillion
dollars ($3,000,000,000,000), which is what President Biden proposed as his Build
Back Better Initiative to seven hundred thirty nine billion dollars ($739,000,000,000)
that passed and was signed into law yesterday. Unfortunately, what was taken out,
was all of the Housing money. So, there is still work to be done, and we know that it
is a big need with the county. Fortunately, we were able to make up some of that
funding through appropriations and continue to work with the Office of the Mayor,
and push hard both with HUD, the Administration, and the Congress.
Councilmember Kuali`i: My only other question is, on slide 3, you
listed the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant, and you mentioned it again on
slide 7, when you were talking about the appropriations process; can you tell me in
more detail about this Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant, and whether that is
funding to the State, to the County, or to both, and what is an example of something
that our County did or can go after?
Ms. Beal: We are happy to provide additional detail on
that, and follow-up just to make sure that we can give you that full picture. That is
one of programs that we do submit annual programmatic requests for, to preserve, if
not, increase funding for that program. I would have to double check how the formula
is distributed and what the formal percentages are. I apologize, I do not have that
off the top of my head, but we are more than happy to provide that.
Councilmember Kuali`i: Thank you. I will await your reply.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Councilmember Carvalho.
Councilmember Carvalho: I appreciate the report, the update, and the
opportunities here. I am very familiar with the TIGER grant process and now it is
the RAISE program, so there is a lot of work that has to be done on our part, I hope
everyone understands that, but I appreciate the information. Of course, the
appropriation at Lima Ola and `Ele`ele, but no matter what, we would also have to
look at matching funds eventually, as we continue to move forward. I just wanted to
ask about that question in any of these grant parts. Then, a little more of an update
on the WRDA, because I know water, wastewater, sewer projects is a big thing coming
up for all of us, and I know there is more time that needs to take place with this
Congressman Kahele, Senator Schatz, and Senator Hirono—the funding there. I just
wanted to understand that for the people; the environmental structure program, and
how to secure that, and what are the next steps on that?
Mr. Smith: I will give an initial response and Catherine
and Kierstin, please fill in. I think one of the big...we were able to inflate the Water
Resources Development Act this year, which Kierstin reported on earlier, that it is
currently in between the House and Senate, they are working on their version, but
we do have a long-term authorization in that bill. In the House bill there is a direct
appropriation or authorization for Kauai, and in the Senate version, it is a statewide,
COUNCIL MEETING 13 AUGUST 17, 2022
it is much larger, but a statewide authorization. That will provide long-term and
sustainable funding for these water and sewer need on the island. Do you folks want
to add anything?
Ms. Beal: Yes. In WRDA 2022, this was the first time
since 2007 in which Congress opened up the opportunity to include new additional
environmental infrastructure authorizations, so with this authorization...and we will
be watching to see if the twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) specifically for the
County, or the seventy-five billion dollars ($75,000,000,000) for the State, or
potentially both, if both get authorized, that would enable the County to submit an
application that addresses water, wastewater, or sewage projects. Typically, those
applications we have seen are for about one million dollars ($1,000,000), the cap is
five million dollars ($5,000,000) of Federal assistance, and I know that some of these
projects have a much higher price tag, but this is a great authorization to have to help
support with these water, wastewater, and sewer projects. As Jim said, hopefully
when those WRDA 2022 is signed into law, then that would open the opportunity for
you to work with the local Army Corps to help develop the application, then
ultimately, secure funding. This authorization is the first step permitting you to
apply.
Councilmember Carvalho: The other part I am asking, we just need to be
prepared for the process, and I wanted to make sure that...do we need to set aside
matching funds, or whatever we need to do to assure we are prepared as everything
goes together.
Ms. Beal: Absolutely, and we can provide additional
information as that process progresses. Additionally, I know the Army Corps will
want to be hands on and help shape these applications, and we will also work closely
along with the delegation, because we understand how important these projects are.
Councilmember Carvalho: Okay, thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. I have a few questions and I am
sure there are a few more. The first one is about the weekly communications. We do
get updates that are sent to us, but they are not weekly, so I am curious if we are able
to receive those as well. I know the Administration sends us some communications
about where we are, but I would love to be able to be even closer to those discussions,
if possible, and whatever is appropriate.
Mr. Smith: We would be happy to provide whatever
information you need.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. There were some roundabout
questions around CBDG and opportunities that extend pass our County government.
The work that you folks do are laser-focused on what our County priorities are as a
government, and you folks have done a stellar job at that. With so much funding
coming down the pike and on the table, and not to be greedy, but I think the kinds of
discussions we are having is, how do we ensure that we do not leave anything on the
table? With that being said, as a small county, we have a capacity, we can only take
COUNCIL MEETING 14 AUGUST 17, 2022
on so much funding, and we can only accomplish so many projects. From that
standpoint, I think some of us are very interested in identifying large grants that can
be identified as possible passthrough through State and County into private and
nonprofit hands that can serve similar needs that we have been identifying as a
community; is that possible?
Mr. Smith: Yes, I think it is possible. I think there are
programs that do lend themselves to nonprofits, and sometimes require a local
government sponsorship, particularly, in the social service areas, so if that is
something that the County is interested in, we should have further conversations
about, is that right Catherine?
Ms. Beal: Yes, that is correct. There are a handful of
grants that I think we could identify that do involve nonprofits or community groups,
and can involve social services, economic development—so absolutely.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. My last question is targeted to
Managing Director Dahilig. When you mentioned WRDA, it is really about us being
shovel-ready, that is the term you used, so I am curious if we can get a little bit
clearer...I know we talked about it at budget, but I am wanting to wrap our heads
around what is "shovel-ready" that applies to what it is that we are looking at, so that
we can anticipate focus. That can go widely, right? We have other funding sources
coming down the pike that potentially we should be ready for. I do not expect an
answer now, Mike, but if we can generate a list of shovel-ready projects, that would
be helpful for the Council.
Mr. Dahilig:Certainly, we can provide things that we are
either looking at throwing in the water, or we are already preparing to throw into the
water as potential. I would like to note that, in terms of the Congressional directive
spending allocations that you are seeing with the Senators office, specifically, Senator
Schatz's office and Senator Hirono's office in providing money for the `Ele`ele water
reservoir and transmission system; those are things that will also be potentially
qualified for something like WRDA, but as mentioned, because of the return of these
types of funding streams, we also give this information to our Congressional
Delegation, and at their own volition or choice, they decide to come behind the project
and propose something like this. So, if something like this does not come through,
we have that as an opportunity to chase WRDA, but also because it does have a nexus
with supporting development of Hawaiian homelands in the Hanapepe area and the
Ele`ele area, we also chase the money that is being earmarked specifically for tribal
and Native Hawaiian types of support areas as well. So that is the kind of things
that Jim and his team educates us on as being able to move around, so we do not
necessarily target a specific grant program per se, but we look at what when we are
having a hopper, and be as nimble as we can to try to adjust that proposal to match
what is coming in by the Congress. So if we do not have success with this Congress
in being able to get the Congressional directed spending for the `Ele`ele reservoir and
transmission line, we believe that we have two (2) other opportunities from a grant
standpoint to be able to compete both at WRDA and at tribal and Native Hawaiian
support types of funding.
COUNCIL MEETING 15 AUGUST 17, 2022
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you for that answer. My last question
is about ARPA. I know we have identified the direction of the expenditure of this
funding, but in the future, can we get an update to where that is headed?
Mr. Dahilig:Yes. In fact, we are scheduling individual
meetings with the body to talk about ARPA 2.0. We are still in the process of getting
ready to have those discussions with you folks and your priorities like we did last
year. We would expect to have that dialogue throughout the month of September and
hopefully getting a proposed budget for you as we receive an expenditure
authorization sometime later in the fall. What we expect to also accompany that
discussion is an update on where we are with ARPA 1.0, and we will have that
prepared for the Council's information.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. I apologize for the acronyms,
Councilmember Cowden. America Rescue Plan Act. Do you have a follow-up?
Councilmember Cowden: No, I am just appreciative of your question. I
said good question.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Okay, thank you. Are there any further
questions from the Members?
Councilmember Kuali`i: My other question has to do with...and I have
not seen any of this, one specific thing I came across was the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law is giving fourteen billion two hundred thousand
dollars ($14,000,200,000) to the program with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) for the affordable connectivity program, which replaces the
emergency broadband benefit program which was part of ARPA, so this is not
necessarily something the County can get for our coffers and our general funds, but
it is what we can get for our citizens and residents, so I was thinking, are you finding
anything that we as a county can then make sure our residents all sign up for. This
one specifically would give thirty dollars ($30) a month for internet service to eligible
households and up to seventy-five dollars ($75) per month for households on tribal
lands, which includes the Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL). I even see
one hundred dollars ($100) towards a purchase of a laptop, desktop computer, or
tablet, as long as they put ten dollars ($10) or fifty dollars ($50) towards that. There
has also been the long-time lifeline support benefit that helps people with paying for
their telephone bill. I think in this time of inflation it would be great, if as a county,
we were making all of our residents aware that they can take advantage of something
like this, and it all adds up; thirty dollars ($30) here, ten dollars ($10) here,
seventy-five dollars ($75) here. Are there other types of Federal funds out there that
our citizens can access directly that we should know about so we can tell them? One
that comes to mind that is a big need that we see on the horizon is for all of our
families, and a lot of them are seniors with older homes, who are going to need to do
the cesspool to septic conversion, and that is such a big cost that a lot of them will not
be able to do it without any type of governmental assistance. I am sure that is
probably on your list; finding Federal funds to help our residents with sewer to septic
conversions, but maybe there are others too.
COUNCIL MEETING 16 AUGUST 17, 2022
Mr. Smith: You are correct that there are a variety of
Federal programs for individuals and individual assistance, anything from
nutritional assistance to housing assistance; you name it. It is not something that
we track systematically, but maybe something that would be helpful, would be if we
could put together a compendium or list of all those different Federal programs across
the Federal agency from HHS to DOE for energy assistance that are available for
individuals. We can make that available to the County.
Councilmember Kuali`i: I thought I saw, too, with this FCC moneys
there are actually...it was with some of the NACo information that Councilmember
Cowden was talking about, that I was able to access, they are even providing funding
to counties to do programs of outreach and information, and it might be as simple as
including things on our website, and what have you, but I will follow-up with the
Administration on that as well, but thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any last questions from the
Memberd? Is there anyone in the audience wishing to testify on this item? Is there
anyone on Zoom wishing to testify? Final discussion on this. Councilmember
Cowden.
There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting was called back
to order, and proceeded as follows:
Councilmember Cowden: I was just going to say, I really appreciate
having the presentation, and it is really helpful in understanding the whole process.
Just gratitude. Thank you so much.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there anyone else? Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Kuali`i: I would just say, I really appreciate the detail
and I look forward to whatever additional things you will be providing and answering
some of our questions. Thank each of you so much.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I will echo all of the mahalo, thank you so
much. You folks have been with us for some time now, so you have a good finger on
what our community is about. I really appreciate that, and I realize in this session
our Council has asked for additional help and expansion of the services that you folks
are providing. Please, what it takes, we would love to hear what it would be in order
to continue that relationship and expand, at least the concerns and requests that we
have here.
The motion to receive C 2022-180 for the record was then put, and carried by

Section 712-1258, prohibiting tobacco sales to minors via Memorandum of
Agreement 2022-PB-002 Modification 1 effective September 1, 2022 through
August 31, 2023.
Councilmember Kuali`i moved to approve C 2022-181, seconded by

item. Is there anyone in the audience wishing to testify on this? Is there anyone on
Zoom? If not, are there any final questions from the Members? Councilmember
Cowden.
There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting was called back
to order, and proceeded as follows:
Councilmember Cowden: It is a small amount, but I appreciate hearing
what the Police Department is doing. If we could just have a brief explanation of how
we enforce the prohibition of tobacco sales. How are we spending this money? This
looks like a reoccurring fee.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
TODD G. RAYBUCK, Chief of Police (via remote technology): Good
morning, Vice Chair and Councilmember Cowden. Thank you for the question. I
would like to turn it over to Acting Assistant Chief Ozaki to answer your question.
The Administrative Technical Bureau (ATB) is responsible for conducting these
operations, and he will be able to give you some insights in how we do that. Thank
you.
MARK T. OZAKI, Acting Assistant Chief of Police (via remote technology):
Good morning, for the record, Acting Assistant Chief Mark Ozaki,
Administrative Technical Bureau. Again, good morning to all distinguished
Councilmembers, and Vice Chair Chock. Councilmember Cowden, to answer your
question, we do a compliance check with all retailers around the island of Kauai.
There are at least three (3) checks at random times throughout the year,
unannounced. We work with the Department of Health and the University of Hawaii
system, and we try to make sure we are keeping the retailers honest and making sure
that they are not selling tobacco products to anyone under the age of twenty-one (21).
Like I said, at least three (3) projects a year, sometimes there are more, not getting
into too much of the details, because it is a "plain clothes" type of project. But it is
just to check for compliance, and a way to make sure the retailers are training their
employees the right way to make sure they are following the laws.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you so much.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any further questions from the
Members? Is there anyone wishing to testify on this item? Is there anyone on Zoom
wishing to testify? Is there any final discussion?

Councilmember Cowden: I just would like a basic explanation of what
it is.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I think we have Del on the line.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
DEL SHERMAN, Information Technology Manager (via remote technology):
Aloha, Councilmember Cowden and Councilmembers. Del Sherman, Information
Technology (IT) Manager for the County of Kauai. As far as what Quest Kace is, it
is a computer appliance that comes with preloaded software that we use for managing
the County's IT Help Desk ticketing system, and we also use it for deploying certain
types of software, such as operating systems.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you. I just needed that simple
explanation.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any further questions? I will call

approval to accept reimbursement, in the amount of$3,932.38, from the United States
Marshals Service via Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
Section 566(e)(1) and 34 U.S.C. Section 20941, for equipment costs to conduct
countywide sex offender registration enforcement and compliance.
Councilmember Kuali`i moved to approve C 2022-189, seconded by
Councilmember Carvalho.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any questions from the Members?
Councilmember Cowden.
Councilmember Cowden: Chief Raybuck, this is a really small amount,
so I am sure this is an ongoing event. It says "reimbursement," but can you speak
about how the countywide sex offender registration is enforced? How is it going?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Raybuck: Good morning, Councilmember Cowden and
Vice Chair Chock. Thank you for the question. As mentioned, we use funds and we
have a great partnership with United States Marshal Service, who comes over and
assists us with these operations to ensure compliance for sex offenders. I believe
Captain Miller is on the line to be able to assist you in how those operations occur
and how often they occur, so I will turn it over to him.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay.
JAMES J. MILLER, Detective (via remote technology): Good morning,
Councilmembers. Sergeant Aaron Lester is one of our sex assault investigators who
is a primary point of contact with the U.S. Marshals for this project and can give you
a little more information on that.
AARON W. R. LESTER, Detective (via remote technology): Good
morning, Council and Vice Chair. Councilmember Cowden, to answer your question
for the U.S. Marshal sex offender registry sweep, we do these about twice a year. We
have done two (2) so far this year. They assist us in reaching out and physically and
visually verifying offenders' addresses. We have one hundred forty-two (142)
registered offenders here on the island of Kauai. As of August 5, 2022, we have
twenty-two (22) non-compliant offenders. The Kauai Police Department (KPD) in
assistance with the U.S. Marshals go out physically to verify their address, place of
employment, contact information, and all the development information that are
required to be registered. In March of this year, U.S. Marshals came out and assisted
us with a project and realized we could use some equipment to streamline the process,
so we are asking for this money. This is not a reoccurring cost; this is for equipment
purchase, so we will have two (2) computers that we will connect with the current
justice information system and the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) to go out and
have live data, and refer to their registered information in the field.
COUNCIL MEETING 23 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: I appreciate that. I am curious, do we have
any numbers...when we have these registered offenders if they become repeat
offenders, or does it seem like that is not continuing being a problem with any of the
individuals?
Mr. Lester: We do. I do not have all the numbers; I have
July and August in front of me. From month-to-month, I have an E-mail from the
Office of the Attorney General (AG) of non-compliant offenders, and the reasons for
non-compliance can be anything from not returning...the AG mails them a letter
every month.
Councilmember Cowden: My question was different than that. When
we do have our registered offenders, do we have other incidents of assault from that
community? Does that seem to be tame, like we are not having more problems with
the people who have had a problem in the past, in terms of hurting others?
Mr. Lester: I have not seen that in my experience in the
field.
Councilmember Cowden: So, it seems like it is working.
Mr. Lester: Yes.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, that was my main concern. Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any further questions from the
Members? Hearing none, we received no written testimony on this item. Is there
anyone in the audience or on Zoom wishing to testify? Seeing none.
There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting was called back
to order, and proceeded as follows:
The motion to approve C 2022-189 was then put, and carried by a vote of a vote
of 5:0:2 (Councilmember DeCosta and Council Chair Kaneshiro were excused).
Council Vice Chair Chock: The motion is carried. Next item.

BILLS FOR FIRST READING:
Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2859) —A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
CHAPTER 8, KAUA`I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO
CAMPGROUNDS (Kauai County Council, Applicant)
Councilmember Carvalho moved to receive Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2859) for
the record, seconded by Councilmember Carvalho.
Council Vice Chair Chock: We have Planning Director.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
KA`AINA S. HULL, Planning Director (via remote technology): Aloha, Vice
Chair Chock and Members of the Council.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Do you want to give us an update on what has
happened since the Commission?
Mr. Hull: I am sorry, this is the campground bill, right?
COUNCIL MEETING 27 AUGUST 17, 2022
Council Vice Chair Chock: Correct, to receive.
Mr. Hull: This is the educational campground bill.
Council Vice Chair Chock: It is.
Mr. Hull: Okay, I am just making sure. Sorry, I know
we have a fair amount of bills with you folks this morning. This Bill was initiated by
Council and transmitted to the Planning Commission, and it essentially allows
educational campgrounds to be permitted via Use Permit on agricultural lands. The
Planning Commission received it, reviewed it, the Department made one (1) slight
recommendation that it would be permissible both on agricultural and open lands,
and the whole premise being that educational camps can be permissible for students
eighteen (18) years old and younger to learn and be educated about agricultural
activities on a camp environment. The restriction of the age limit in discussions with
the Councilmembers who reintroduced this Bill was primarily to ensure that these
types of educational camps were not essentially converted into de facto resort
amenities and operations on agricultural lands. Ultimately, the Department
supported it, so the Planning Commission with that one (1) amendment to also permit
it via Use Permit in the Open Zone District.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Just to clarify, Members, the motion is to
receive this Bill, we have another bill that came from the Planning Commission. We
will receive this Bill and the other bill is what is being introduced.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, so can I ask you my question?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Yes, please go ahead.
Councilmember Cowden: We are receiving this because this is how we
had it first, and they changed it up?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Correct.
Councilmember Cowden: Are we going to see that today?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Correct, it is the fourth item on here.
Councilmember Cowden: I have one question on this, on page 3, where
it says, Section 8-9.6, "This Section shall not apply to State and County campgrounds
existing prior to December 2nd." Is it that long that we already had?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Yes.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, will that be in the next piece?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Yes. Are there any further questions?
Councilmember Evslin.
COUNCIL MEETING 28 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Evslin: If I can verify, it came up when we were
originally doing the first campgrounds bill, and there was some discussion over, what
my understanding was, that if the campgrounds has existed pre-Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance (CZO), that they would be able to continue, so there was some
deliberation about whether that had happened or not. Anyway, the bill passed, and
I think it was determined later that these campgrounds were post creation of the CZO
and needed to be amended, that is my understanding. Mr. Hull might be able to
verify that.
Councilmember Cowden: If we are doing that later, I can do that later.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Mr. Hull, do you have anything else to add on
that?
Mr. Hull: No.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any further questions? If not, is
there anyone wishing to provide public testimony? Is there anyone on Zoom wishing
to testify? Is there any final discussion? Again, the motion is to receive.
Councilmember Cowden: I was just saying Mr. DeSilva needs to come
back in.
Council Vice Chair Chock: He will not be testifying. Roll call vote.
There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting was called back
to order, and proceeded as follows:
The motion to receive Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2859) for the record was then
put, and carried by the following vote:
FOR RECEIPT:Carvalho, Chock, Cowden, Evslin,
Kuali`i TOTAL— 5,

EXCUSED & NOT VOTING: DeCosta, Kaneshiro TOTAL— 2,
RECUSED & NOT VOTING: None TOTAL— 0.
Ms. Fountain-Tanigawa: Five (5) ayes.
Council Vice Chair Chock: The motion passes. Next item, please.
Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2880) — A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
THE STATE LAND USE DISTRICT BOUNDARY CONCERNING A PARCEL IN
KAPA`A HOMESTEADS, KAUA`I (Manuel DeSilva, Jr., Trustee,Applicant) (A-2022-1)
Councilmember Kuali`i moved for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2880) on
first reading, that it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be
scheduled for September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Planning
Committee, seconded by Councilmember Carvalho.
COUNCIL MEETING 29 AUGUST 17, 2022
Council Vice Chair Chock: Mr. Hull, would you like to give us a briefing
on this?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: Thank you, Council Chair. The draft that you
have in front of you was also not initiated by the Planning Department. This was
initiated by an applicant landowner looking to essentially rezone and redesignate
their property from State Land Use Agricultural District to State Land Use Rural
District, and from County Agricultural Zoning District to County R-1 Zoning District.
Several properties around this property are already within the existing State Land
Use Rural District and County R-1 Zoning District, it is located within the
homesteads designation within the Kauai General Plan, and is roughly four point
six (4.6) acres in size. Given the surrounding area being pretty much entirely within
the rural R-1 zoning designation, the Department and the Commission are
supporting the petition and have submitted it to you folks for your review.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I am sure we have some questions,
Councilmember Cowden, followed by Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Cowden: Is basically this allowing him to build another
house?
Mr. Hull: With the designation that he currently has,
under the County Agricultural zoning district, it qualifies for two (2) homes, the
proposed R-1 designation will allow for the construction of five (5) dwelling units.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, I am just trying to look at the size of the
acreage. There are two (2) properties right next to each other, right? Are we seeing
that? There are two (2) of these.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Sorry, what was the question?
Councilmember Cowden: I just trying to make sure I was clear, so they
want to be able to make homes for their family, basically, right? I read through the
discussion. Our applicant is not going to testify any longer.
Council Vice Chair Chock: It does not look like it.
Councilmember Cowden: Alright.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin: In the Director's Report, it says if approved,
the maximum density of the parcel through subdivision would allow a total of
eight (8) residential units, four (4) residences, plus four (4) Additional Dwelling
Units (ADUs).
COUNCIL MEETING 30 AUGUST 17, 2022
Mr. Hull: That is if they decided to take action on a
subdivision. My response about just qualifying for five (5) dwelling units would be
outright permissible should this zoning amendment be approved by the County
Council and signed by the Mayor, they would automatically qualify for five (5)
dwelling units. Should they want to avail the property to a subdivision process which
has additional review and action by the Planning Commission, as well as upgrades
in infrastructure, they would, should they get that approval be able to apply for up to
eight (8) units.
Councilmember Evslin: Okay, thank you. Also, the Director's Report,
on page 7, says, the proposed project zoning change is to be cited in an area that has
been designated Urban by the State Land Use Commission in University zoned by
the General Plan and therefore, shall not distract the rural character of Kauai.
Mr. Hull: If that is what it states, I apologize,
Councilmember Evslin, that would have been a typographical error.
Councilmember Evslin: Okay, so it is in fact, currently Agriculture?
Mr. Hull: It is currently State Land Use Agriculture,
correct.
Councilmember Evslin: Just a process question. There are two (2)
bills, one (1) to amend the State Land Use District boundary and one (1) to amend
the County zoning; could you just explain? This is my first time seeing a bill to amend
a State Land Use District boundary. My understanding in the process was that was
the Land Use Commission's (LUC) discretion, and we match it with our own County
zoning. Explain why we have a bill to amend the State Land Use District boundary.
Mr. Hull: The State Land Use District boundary
amendments are generally handled through the State Land Use Commission unless
the proposal is under fifteen (15) acres in size. If the proposal is under fifteen(15)
acres in size, they seek that authority to make it respective to the County, so you have
a simultaneous action. When you see larger projects, first a State Land Use
Commission action to rezone the State Land Use District, and should that occur, then
subsequently, they will apply for a County zoning district. Because this is under
fifteen (15) acres, this can technically be done simultaneously. Now, if there is a
disagreement that say, the State Land Use District should not be converted to Rural,
then that would automatically infer that the County zoning district cannot be
Residential. But it is being proposed in tandem with each other, because both the
Department and the Planning Commission felt it was appropriate.
Councilmember Evslin: Okay, so because it is under fifteen (15) acres
it requires no LUC action, and the County has full discretion. Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I am trying to understand that.
Councilmember Cowden.
COUNCIL MEETING 31 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: I am trying to understand it better, too,
because this seems unusual for what we generally get. Basically, this property is
going to become more consistent with its neighbors. When I look at the neighbor
properties, they are broken up into smaller pieces and they have homes. I tried to
read through it and understand, and I see only letters of support. I can tell that not
all of them live right next to it, but they have similar interests, so they are saying
good guy" and he is trying to include his family on his property. Do we have any
resistance from anyone? I did not see it in there.
Mr. Hull: I do recall one (1) member of the public
testifying in opposition. This was someone who, I believe, has testified before the
County Council, and this was an individual, I believe, from another island that had
not actually read the proposal.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, I saw that. Is there any reason that we
should be aware that if we say "yes" to this, that it sets a precedent that would be
unintended by when we are saying "yes" to this?
Mr. Hull: At the end of the day, precedent for legislative
action is not the same as judicial precedent where it is essentially binding, should a
judicial precedent be set in those types of cases. For legislative precedent
indeed...well let me step back, it is not a precedent in a sense that each individual
case for rezoning needs to be reviewed, analyzed, and acted upon individually. This
property is both located in the Homestead General Plan designation, which is for low
density rural development, as well as this is already surrounded by Residential
zoning. I think if there are any particular proposals that somewhat meet very specific
criteria in that nature, then in general, we are supportive. But again, we need to
review it, at least the Planning Department. When it gets to the County Council, we
need to review these each individually parcel-by-parcel as they come, or
proposal-by-proposal as they come.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you. Vice Chair, this is just a
first read anyway, right?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Yes, that is correct. It will go to Committee if
we pass it.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any other questions? Again, I got a
little bit confused with the two (2) bills. I think I somewhat get your explanation.
Would you mind repeating it again?
Mr. Hull: Yes, definitely. The State of Hawaii enjoys
dual-zoning designations, State Land Use Zoning and County Zoning. The State
Land Use has four (4) land use districts: Conservation, Agricultural, Rural, and
Urban. In the Rural and Urban districts, you can have, within the County-level,
Residential zoning. In the Agricultural district, you cannot. What this proposal is
doing is, first requesting to amend the State Land Use District around this property
COUNCIL MEETING 32 AUGUST 17, 2022
from State Land Use "Agricultural" to State Land Use "Rural" district, just for the
property area, which much of the other properties around it already have that Rural
designation. Because the property is under fifteen (15) acres, pursuant to Hawaii
Revised Statutes (HRS) 205, the authority for reviewing it is not going to be the Land
Use Commission, it will be ceded to the County to take action on that. The first
request is ultimately for the Council to review and act upon a State Land Use District
amendment less than fifteen (15) acres for the subject property to go from
Agricultural to Rural designation. Should the Council approve that proposal, then
the second request is essentially to allow for that property to also then be moved from
the County Agricultural district into the County R-1 Residential district.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Okay.
Mr. Hull: Does that make sense? Sorry if I muddied it.
Council Vice Chair Chock: It does make perfect sense. I was just
wondering why we could not do it in one (1) bill. I get it. It is two (2) separate actions
that are dependent on each other. Okay. Sorry, are there any last questions? Is
there any public testimony on this item? Anyone online? Come up, Mr. Lindner. You
are a professional already, so please state your name for the record.
JEFFREY LINDNER: I think that is great. You could look at it
like...should the County maybe look at the fact that you cannot convert agricultural
land with more density...that could be looked at setting a precedent. It could be a
good thing, right? At some point, what you are saying is that there is some existing
Rural land and that basically there is a place to get some density. It is R-1. It is
valuable to look at it as setting a precedent. It is already there. That would be a good
place to start.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Is there anyone else that would
like to testify? None.
There being no further testimony, the meeting was called back to order, and
proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion on this item?
Hearing none, roll call vote please.
The motion for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2880) on first reading, that
it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be scheduled for
September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Planning Committee was

ZONING DESIGNATION IN KAPA`A HOMESTEADS, KAUXI (Manuel DeSilva, Jr.,

There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting proceeded as
follows:
Councilmember Cowden: This is just the second half of what we just
discussed. This is the same thing.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Yes, this is the same. Okay, we will take a roll
call vote.
The motion for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2881) on first reading, that

CHAPTER 8, KAUA`I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO
CAMPGROUNDS (Kauai County Council, Applicant) (ZA-2022-10 — Planning
Commission Recommendation)
Councilmember Kuali`i moved for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2882) on
first reading, that it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be
scheduled for September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Planning
Committee, seconded by Councilmember Carvalho.
COUNCIL MEETING 34 AUGUST 17, 2022
Council Vice Chair Chock: Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin moved to amend Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2882) as
circulated, and as shown in the Floor Amendment, which is attached hereto as
Attachment 1, seconded by Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Evslin: This amendment just adds the words "and the
Open Zoning District" to the Findings and Purpose section. The Bill that came back
from the Planning Commission amended the original Bill to add in the Open Zoning
District into where educational campgrounds were allowed. That draft, as I
understand, did not have respective language in the Findings and Purpose. This
amendment just adds that.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Ka`aina, would you like to comment on the
amendment? Is that by request?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: We are good with the cleanup. We really
appreciate Council Services Staff being able to catch that and clean that up.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any further questions on the
amendment?
There being no objections, the meeting was called back to order, and proceeded
as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion on the
amendment? None.
The motion to amend Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2882) as circulated, and as shown
in the Floor Amendment, which is attached hereto as Attachment 1 was then
put, and carried by a vote of 5:0:2 (Councilmember DeCosta and Council Chair
Kaneshiro were excused).
Council Vice Chair Chock: We are back to the main motion as amended.
Are there any questions? Councilmember Cowden.
Councilmember Cowden: I just want to make it really clear for anyone
listening or watching. This is basically when we had the restriction to avoid
glamping." This is such that it will not hurt Boy Scout camps or rehabilitation camps
for children and things like that. I just want to make sure that we get the broad
brushstroke that we are making sure that we do not shut out youth-oriented camps.
Is that correct, Ka`aina?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: Sorry. Yes, I would agree with that
assessment of the Draft Bill. It does ensure that educational camps can occur on
COUNCIL MEETING 35 AUGUST 17, 2022
Agricultural lands insofar as there is a nexus with agricultural activities through
education.
Councilmember Cowden: We do not educate people over eighteen (18),
because the concern is that there is too much opportunity for exploitation of that title?
Mr. Hull: Yes. I think when we were going through the
Glamping Bill, the Department did present to the Council and to the public that we
had quite honestly been inundated with attempts by resort operations to utilize
developed campgrounds on Agricultural lands to setup really just resort operations
under the auspices of agricultural activities. I think there is still a considerable
amount of concerns of these resort operations trying to use this educational
campground vehicle to possibly get a foot in the door. While the Department and
Commission can work to ensure that agriculture and education is definitely a
component of any proposal, there are still concerns I believe. At least for right now,
restricting it to just students eighteen (18) years and younger, we believe in the spirit
of that proposal ensures that it will not turn into a de facto resort operation.
Councilmember Cowden: I want to give the example of U-Turn for
Christ, which is somewhat an agriculturally based drug rehabilitation camp that I go
and work with when invited. Can you tell me how this would be viewed? How would
U-Turn for Christ be viewed relative to any of this? Is U-Turn for Christ or another
program like that happen? Not because it is faith-based, but could we have another
program like that, or would this prohibit that?
Mr. Hull: I am not intimately familiar with the U-Turn
for Christ operations. I will say that if there is no fee being charged and they are
hosting it on their property Agricultural or otherwise, then without the commercial
component, it would be outright permissible. Also, too, I believe if it is occurring on
lands owned by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), they are
completely outside of the authority of the County of Kauai. That is really under
DHHL's jurisdiction and authority as to whether or not they would allow it.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you. They are on DHHL lands.
Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any further questions? I will take
public testimony on this item. Is there anyone in the audience or online? None.
There being no one present to testify, the meeting was called back to order, and
proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion? No? I will say
that we were happy to pass the first bill. We did that fairly quickly. It is important
for us to return to adjust sometimes. That was my intention when I co-introduced
this Bill with Councilmember DeCosta. I am happy that we can include educational
campgrounds. They are very integral to our students' development. I am happy to
support this, and we will see as this develops, how it works, and what other
adjustments we have to make moving forward.
COUNCIL MEETING 36 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: I just want to acknowledge that at Kahili
Mountain Park, that is actually an excellent piece of property that is utilized in so
many good ways and not the least of which has adult education that is involved with
it. They have recently been doing some youth "prehab" as opposed to "rehab."
Something that I have heard very strongly across our community is the need for adult
therapeutic care to try to straighten out people's behaviors. That can come up in
Committee if we want to be able to do that. Okay, thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any additional final discussion? If
not, we will take a roll call vote.
The motion for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2882) as amended on first
reading, that it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be scheduled

Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2883) —A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE APPROVING
A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT FOR BARGAINING UNIT 12
BETWEEN JULY 1, 2021 AND JUNE 30, 2025
Councilmember Kuali`i moved for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2883) on
first reading, that it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be
scheduled for September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Committee of
the Whole, seconded by Councilmember Carvalho.
Council Vice Chair Chock: We received no written testimony on this
item. Are there any questions? Is there any public testimony on this item? Is there
anyone online? None. Is there any final discussion? Councilmember Cowden.
There being no one present to testify, the meeting was called back to order, and
proceeded as follows:
Councilmember Cowden: I just want to make a comment that when we
are looking at numbers like five percent (5%) for payroll increases, given the amount
of inflation right now, I think it is the least we can do when we are really struggling
to be holding on to our people. I see Annette is there. If she wants to make a comment
for this, or for me, the next one.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Do you have a question for her?
COUNCIL MEETING 37 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: If she has something she wants to share with
us, I am happy to hear it, otherwise I am good.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
ANNETTE L. ANDERSON, Director of Human Resources (via remote
technology): Good morning. Thank you for the question, Councilmember Cowden.
My only comment would be that on this particular item, as well as the next one, I just
want to emphasize that they are both arbitration awards as opposed to some of the
other matters that have previously come before you that were settlement agreements.
These are awards from an arbitration panel. Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. We are on final discussion. Did
you have another question? Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin: I believe this is from the documents we have
for Unit 15, but I think it was raised in this one as well. In the arbitration, it
mentions, "The County of Kauai contends that they do not have the current ability
to pay and that a pay raise would impact the level of services currently provided and
would not be a prudent managerial or fiscal decision. The proposals would place the
County in a budget deficit." This might be a question for Reiko. Could you respond
to that? Would the pay raises put the County in a deficit or how would we manage
it?
Ms. Anderson: I will defer to Reiko. She was a witness and
testified at both hearings.
REIKO MATSUYAMA, Director of Finance (via remote technology): I
would say that individually looking at each of the bargaining units in silos, no. We
can afford them. Again, when you combine everything, that is when it starts to really
influence our budget process to make sure that we can cover all of the collective
bargaining agreement increases together.
Councilmember Evslin: Okay.
Councilmember Cowden: I have a follow-up.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Follow-up, go ahead.
Councilmember Cowden: We have a lot of open positions, right? We end
up being able to fill that amount. I understand that wages is the largest part of our
budget. Right now, it seems like every topic that comes before us, we have these holes
especially in managerial and engineering positions, and different layers of what we
are dealing with. We spend more money not being able to address our problems.
Would having enough people help? That is to you, Reiko.
Ms. Anderson: I am sorry, what was the question? Did you
say that having more people would assist?
COUNCIL MEETING 38 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: What I am saying is, it was really a question
to Reiko. When we do not have enough people to get the job done, we end up spending
more money. Since it seems like we have openings, we are able to catch it. I am just
double-checking. These are things that we talked about repeatedly during the
budget.
Ms. Matsuyama: I hope I am understanding the question. I
think the premise is that when there are vacancies, the work still gets done, but it is
covered with overtime.
Councilmember Cowden: My question is, at least what we have been
discussing through our whole process, when we do not have enough people to get the
work done, we tend to have challenges. We cannot attract a good workforce because
they cannot afford a house or have enough money to live. Giving them a five percent
5%) raise or three percent (3%) raise is something that we are largely in agreement
on. We have had this conversation a lot. Am I missing something? I am kind of
surprised to hear that we are saying"no' at this point. You are not saying"no," okay?
Councilmember Evslin: Sorry, that was just from the arbitration
panel. I think the County said that we cannot pay, and the panel then decides that
the County has to pay"x" amount, which is what we have before us. I was just asking
about the County's original position. My take is that the County's position now is
that we are going to abide by the arbitration award.
Councilmember Cowden: We have to because it is an arbitration award.
We have been having this conversation for months. We are struggling to pay wages
so people can have a house. These people work for us. Some are department heads.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I think that is your perspective. Everyone
else has their own. There was another follow-up question. I am going to go to
Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Kuali`i: Reiko, when you talk about the ability to pay
and you are looking at future compensation based on collective bargaining
agreements or arbitration awards, future ability to pay is tied to future revenue,
right? Does the Department of Finance forecast the future real property tax revenue
and is that the amount that you are going off of? As the system is, each year during
the Budget, it is the Administration and the Council's responsibility to balance the
Budget. Beyond forecasting real property tax revenues based on the current rates,
the Council has the ability to balance the budget by increasing the rates, correct?
That kind of leaves the opening that we can afford future raises...
Ms. Matsuyama: Yes, that is correct.
Councilmember Kuali`i: if it is negotiated.
Ms. Matsuyama: We do not forecast real property tax revenue
beyond the immediate future year. Yes, the assumption is...and the arbitrator and
COUNCIL MEETING 39 AUGUST 17, 2022
union attorneys say that the County has full discretion over their property taxes, so
they can always increase rates and increase them in order to cover these raises.
Councilmember Kuali`i: The other thing was a thought that I wanted
to share to see if you agree. Being that our residents like everyone in the Country is
dealing with inflation and there is not much that the County can do directly, would
you agree that what the County can do is to make sure that we keep our people
employed, fill vacancies, and that we provide reasonable raises so that they have more
income to deal with the higher prices? Do you agree with that?
Ms. Matsuyama: I think our job is to try to stimulate the local
economy. Speaking to vacancies, I know for us, we have probably more than we have
ever had. They are becoming harder to fill. I think that is across-the-board and
maybe I am stepping on Annette's toes here. I think what we try to do is generate
jobs, not just County jobs, but also infrastructure, Capital Improvement
Projects (CIP), and just getting people to work in general.
Councilmember Kuali`i: Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any other questions?
There being no objections, the meeting was called back to order, and proceeded
as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion? If not, we will
take a roll call vote.
The motion for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2883) on first reading, that
it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be scheduled for
September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Committee of the Whole was
then put, and carried by the following vote:

Ms. Fountain-Tanigawa: Five (5) ayes.
Council Vice Chair Chock: The motion passes. We will take our caption
break and come back to the next collective bargaining item.
There being no objections, the meeting recessed at 10:21 a.m.
The meeting reconvened at 10:32 a.m., and proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Welcome back, we are on the second

Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2885) — A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
CHAPTER 10, ARTICLE 3, KAUA`I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED,
RELATING TO THE WEST KAUA`I COMMUNITY PLAN IMPLEMENTING
ORDINANCE (County of Kauai Planning Department, Applicant) (ZA-2022-9)
Councilmember Kuali`i moved for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2885) on
first reading, that it be ordered to print,, that a public hearing thereon be
scheduled for September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Planning
Committee, seconded by Councilmember Carvalho.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin moved to amend Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2885) as
circulated, and as shown in the Floor Amendment, which is attached hereto as
Attachment 2, seconded by Councilmember Kuali`i.
COUNCIL MEETING 41 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Evslin: This amendment is at the request of the
Planning Department. This Bill was transmitted to the Council by the Planning
Commission. As Council Services was formatting the Bill, there were some
inconsistencies that were found. The Amendment adds references to the Plantation
Camp Form-Based Code throughout the Bill, and it allows finalization edits,
including all appendices to ensure accuracy.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Okay. I am going to suspend the rules.
Ka`aina, could you just give us an overall review of the Bill and then address the
amendment, please.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: Thank you. I will give a brief overview of the
Bill and then go into the draft Amendment that was circulated. The Draft Bill is the
product of about twelve (12) to fourteen (14) months of Planning Department Staff
working to get this. Form-Based Code before you. As you recall, during the West
Kauai Community Plan, it was recognized that our existing Plantation
Camps—Pakala Camp, Numila Camp, Kaumakani Camp, and Kaumakani
Avenue—are within the County zoning Agriculture District. Under the Agricultural
Policy, we are not really allowed to repair and refurbish dilapidated structures.
Under the Agricultural Policy, technically, the County's long-range policy for these
camps was for them to be amortized and phased out. Through the West Kauai
Community Plan, it was ultimately reviewed and vetted with the community that
these are living communities that should not be phased or amortized out. They
should be allowed to be refurbished and rebuilt exactly as what was there originally.
The Plantation Camp zoning designation was proposed and ultimately adopted for
those camp areas that have State Land Use Urban Designations. In the discussions
with the community as well as with the Council, it was brought up that beyond just
allowing these structures to be rebuilt and house families, that indeed these are
dynamic and active communities to this day. Having the ability for them to progress
forward and further be developed may be appropriate, but within the confines of
perhaps the form and character of existing camps themselves. That is where the
Planning Department committed to coming back to the Council with an approach to
allow further development of small areas within the camps that are still vacant, to
have additional housing, but again, within the form and character of the camps. The
approach we took with Form-Based Code, which really is a model of coding that the
County of Kauai has looked at and adopted for South Kauai, as well as West Kauai
town cores like Hanapepe, Waimea, and Kekaha. It looks at the structural
improvements of the built environment of a given area and provides regulatory
mechanisms to ensure that further development keep inline again with the form and
character of the built environment's pattern. There are two (2) proposed camp areas
that can be allowed to be expanded in the Draft Bill with this Form-Based Code. One
is the Kaumakani Village or Kaumakani Camp area. The other is Kaumakani
Avenue, which is the historical avenue. The two (2) areas that already have existing
development, really that is what they have and that is what they could build.
Kaumakani Camp or Kaumakani Village has an additional twelve (12) acres within
State Land Use Agriculture that is being proposed to be included within this new
Form-Based Code area that will allow for future development of Kaumakani
COUNCIL MEETING 42 AUGUST 17, 2022
Cottages, if you will, or small multi-family units. That is about twelve (12) acres and
could allow from anywhere between seventy (70) to one hundred twenty (120)
dwelling units. In the Avenue area, which has much more restrictive and separate
built environment patterns, and as a small two-acre vacant parcel, in looking at
keeping with the form and character of that area, the proposal for the additional
two (2) acres would allow anywhere from eight (8) to twelve (12) new dwelling units
within again, the Avenue built environment form and character. That is all I have
for you today. I know this is first reading and I do not want to get into the weeds too
much. We will have a bit more of a thorough presentation should you decide to send
this through to Committee. I am open to any questions. I believe the
landowner...technically the Planning Department is the applicant here, but we did
this with the consent of the landowner. Ultimately, if you have any questions for the
landowner, I believe they have called in via Zoom to address any of those questions.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Did you want to say anything about the
amendment? I wanted to get that taken care of.
Mr. Hull: I apologize. The amendment...we want to
thank Council Services Staff...after this rush of bills that we sent up, we recognize
that we have some legislative drafting issues. Council Services Staff actually helped
to get this up to par with what is expected. They are really cleaning up the form and
content of the Draft Bill. We appreciate Council Services Staff doing that legwork
and are far supportive of it.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. The amendment is
non-substantive. We can take any questions on the amendment. Hopefully we can
get through that and then get back to the main motion. Are there any questions on
the amendment? Hearing none, is there anyone in the audience or on Zoom wishing
to testify on the amendment? We are going to have testimony on the main motion as
well. You can testify either time. Do you want to testify on the amendment? Please
push the button to begin. You can start when the light turns green. You can also
come up for another three (3) minutes. We will let you know, and the light will turn
red.
HOWARD GREENE: Thank you for hearing this. I just want to say
that we are in support of this. I just want to ask if you have any questions or concerns,
or need any clarification about this or our position?
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any clarifying questions?
Councilmember Cowden: I have a question on the broader piece.
Council Vice Chair Chock: We can take it since he is here.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay. This might really be for Ka`aina. Why
is Camp 6 not on this?
COUNCIL MEETING 43 AUGUST 17, 2022
Mr. Greene:I can answer that. That was originally not in
the State Land Use Urban designation. Therefore, the County could not take action
on it.
Councilmember Cowden: If Camp 6 could have action on it, would you
rebuild that area as well?
Mr. Greene:Yes. We would like to keep that camp going
and we continue to maintain it within the restrictions that are placed upon us.
Councilmember Cowden: When we are looking at these areas in
Kaumakani when you are adding fresh buildings, you have workers that you are
wanting to be putting in there, or is some of that for different migrant workers? No.
It is all for long-term workers that would go into the new housing?
Mr. Greene:Yes, that is primarily targeted for long-term
rentals for our workers, agricultural workers, and other local Westside families.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: If we have additional questions, since he is
here, we can call him back up.
Councilmember Cowden: Alright.
Mr. Greene:Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there any other clarifying questions? If
not, thank you, Mr. Greene. Would anyone else like to testify on the amendment?
Hearing none, I will call the meeting back to order.
There being no further testimony, the meeting was called back to order, and
proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: We are on the amendment. Members, is there
any final discussion?
The motion to amend Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2885) as circulated, and as
shown in the Floor Amendment, which is attached hereto as Attachment 2 was
then put, and carried by a vote of 5:0:2 (Councilmember DeCosta and Council
Chair Kaneshiro were excused).
Council Vice Chair Chock: The amendment passes. We are on the main
motion. I will suspend the rules. Please, if you have any questions.
Councilmember Cowden: Ka`aina, a little piece of the background...I
have talked with my friends who lived a decent amount of their lives in the plantation
camps. They said that they have never been happier. Some of them specifically in
these ones...can we put it up in Camp 6. Camp 6 is largely Ni`ihauian. It seems like
COUNCIL MEETING 44 AUGUST 17, 2022
it would be nice if their places could be improved. It seems like Numila is getting
torn down. When we have this as a Form-Based Code, can this get put anywhere else
or on other lands? It seems like a good solution for our challenges.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: Thank you, Councilmember Cowden.
Currently, Form-Based Code for plantation camps can be placed on two (2) other
camps, Numila and Pakala. In Numila, the landowner did not elect to go through the
process with us for whatever reason that may be. For Pakala, which is also Gay &
Robinson, there were two (2) reasons we essentially held back on it. The first is that
there is a large vacant quadrant of Pakala that still needs to go through the State
Land Use District amendments like we discussed in the previous bill, but those
amendments are over fifteen (15) acres in size, so we could not do it within the
County's jurisdiction and would necessitate Gay & Robinson going to directly to the
LUC first, before we can do a possible Form-Based Code for that area. The same
holds true for Camp 6 as well. This is an area that is very similar, quite honestly, to
Kaumakani Camp. I think the County would be very interested in looking at a Form-
Based Code option, but again, it does not have State Land Use Urban designations.
It has State Land Use Agriculture designation that is over fifteen (15) acres in size
and again would necessitate Gay & Robinson going to the LUC first.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, I probably have another question for
the Manager.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Why do we not take all the questions with
Ka`aina, and then we can clarify things with Mr. Greene. Are there any other
questions? No? We are going to treat Mr. Greene as a resource person. Could I ask
you to come back up? Councilmember Cowden, if you could address your question to
Mr. Greene.
Councilmember Cowden: I think the area in Camp 6, not meaning to
intrude in your own business, but that is an important and valuable area as well.
How many acres is that?
Mr. Greene:I am not exactly sure, but according to
Ka`aina, it is over fifteen (15) acres. I will look into that.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, maybe we can ask Ka`aina how big it is.
It seems like that area is sorely in need of repair but is also very needed by the people
in there. When I deal with people who are displaced, it seems like they are people
who are family to people who live up there. If Camp 6 gets improved, would it stay a
Ni`ihauian camp? Are you allowed to do that?
Mr. Greene:Yes, we primarily use that right now for our
local workforce and many of the people from Niihau as well, and for many of their
families, too. We definitely want to keep that camp going. We have just been taking
small steps with Form-Based Code, Plantation Camp zoning, and the West Kauai
Community Plan. It is a capacity issue that we have right now. We certainly do not
COUNCIL MEETING 45 AUGUST 17, 2022
plan on abandoning that camp and do want to look towards the future with that
particular camp.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay. That is all one big, large tax map key,
so it is not like you can grab just fifteen (15) acres of it and fix just fifteen (15) acres
of it?
Mr. Greene:Alright.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Are there any other questions for
Ka`aina or Mr. Greene? Okay, thank you, sir.
Mr. Greene:Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: This is just first reading. We have two (2)
absent Members. If we could get our questions out, I know we will be deliberating on
this.
Councilmember Cowden: I have one (1) more question for Mr. Greene.
Why are you not wanting to do this for Pakala Camp?
Mr. Greene:Well, we did, but Ka`aina cited some of the
obstacles. Perhaps we could revisit Pakala in the future as well for this Form-Based
Code application.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Councilmember Carvalho.
Councilmember Carvalho: Are you open to all of that? You are open to
discussing future opportunities, correct?
Mr. Greene:Absolutely.
Councilmember Carvalho: Totally.
Mr. Greene:I have always said that we are so thankful for
the Plantation Camp designation and the whole West Kauai Community Plan. This
is a whole other layer that helps us put investment into these communities. Prior to
that, the sort of unwritten plan was to abandon these camps and these families.
Obviously, that is not a solution. We are quite thankful for how the process has come
about and the results of it.
Councilmember Carvalho: One more thing, is there that commitment to
keep the character of that camp site, which is important?
Mr. Greene:That is what the Form-Based Code does. It
preserves that setting, architecture, roads, parks, et cetera. Yes.
COUNCIL MEETING 46 AUGUST 17, 2022
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Councilmember Cowden.
Councilmember Cowden: I think this area is important. A number of
your tenants are seniors. Is that fair to say, because they worked in the sugar fields?
It seems that some of these are not even paying rent. You are putting in a senior day
center and daycare center. Is there going to be a senior house on the Boulevard?
Mr. Greene:That is one (1) of the ideas. There is one (1)
section of the Avenue that has an administrative type of zoning layer. That is where
we have our current offices, where the former Gay & Robinson boarding facility was
for the single workers. I think that is one (1) of the allowable uses as a dormitory
type of facility. We have not made a decision or created a business plan on what type
of facilities will be there, but this Form-Based Code allows for that type of use.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. We are on the main motion. Is
there any public testimony? Jeff.
Mr. Lindner: I support this. It is great that the Planning
Department is developing some private housing. The concern I have is whether this
will be used as a model outside of the plantation camp area? There is wording in here
where it says that it is going to be used as a model in general. The question is, could
this not have been done under an Agricultural...the base code has everything under
Urban and Agriculture. What it seems like is...I mean, Urban to Rural. Everything
seems to be sort of left out as a perimeter. Is this going to be the new model from
Urban to Rural...Agriculture is just going to be left out. It appears this model leaves
Agriculture land out. It is related to Agriculture zoning in some way. How can we
do this and why can we not do the other camps with agriculture? In a sense, every
agricultural parcel is multi-zoned and has multiple densities. Just like these, these
could be...an agricultural parcel could have multi-parcels, just because that is how
they are. Through the Agriculture Subdivision Rural, you could have multiple
housing in the same way as we are doing here. It is one (1) lot with a lot of density.
It states, "Natural, Rural, Suburban, General, Urban, and Urban." Natural, I guess
is next to...it just seems like this is going to be used in Lihu`e where there is not going
to be any agricultural subdivisions or agricultural anything. Everything has to be
converted to Urban or Rural before we can do anything.
Council Vice Chair Chock: That was your first three (3) minutes. I would
like to ask if anyone else would like to testify. If not, you can have another three (3)
minutes.
Councilmember Cowden: Jeff. Jeff.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I asked him. He is done. Does anyone have
final discussion? Do you have more questions? Councilmember Cowden.
Councilmember Cowden: I have a question for Ka`aina. When we
discussed this before with the Planning Department or during an earlier discussion,
COUNCIL MEETING 47 AUGUST 17, 2022
you said that this is something that can be applied to other agricultural properties. I
think Mr. Lindner was asking a question similar to what came up last time and how
the plantation camps work. This is really good especially without having the
subdivision requirements of roads being a certain width with sidewalks and
everything else. It seems like a needed solution to a number of the challenges that
we have when it is truly applied to agricultural workers. Can you speak for a moment
if this is going to be applied to anywhere else? You said it might be coming up.
Mr. Hull: Germane to the last speaker's testimony on
applying it to agricultural lands...this technically is not being applied to State Land
Use Agriculture lands, right? The discussion is that it is being applied to State Land
Use Urban lands that the State Land Use Commission recognized years ago that
these really were Urban uses and the County had not for some time. Through the
West Kauai Community Plan, we kind of caught up with that recognition, if you will.
Trying to lay it over State Land Use Agriculture lands would be a bit tricky, because
of the fact that there are farm dwelling requirements for State Agriculture lands.
Every tenant that Gay & Robinson has in these camps does not sign a farm dwelling
agreement as would a tenant or owner would do in State Land Use Agriculture lands.
Having said that though, the modeling that we did and the coding that we did with
the plantation camp exercise and Form-Based Code exercise has been very
enlightening for the Department and myself, in looking particularly at Kaumakani
Camp, not necessarily using this built environment pattern in the agricultural area,
but perhaps as an option in Urban or Rural areas of the island to provide an option.
Not a mandate, but an option. An option has begun to edge into our radar. When
you look at the pattern and the interaction of the community at Kaumakani Camp,
and I think there are stories of families and individuals that grew up or live in the
camps, there is much of this discussion and talk of how community-oriented and
family-oriented these camps are. They are interconnected and resilient. Really
getting in there, I do not think these are individuals that are just waxing nostalgic
on it. There is a very cohesive communal family ohana orientation within the
community and as an Urban Planner if you will, much of that we can say...I will not
say all of that...but some of that we can say is a direct correlation with the way the
built environment is set up. The houses are structured so close to the roadway and
the road is a substandard road that accommodates kupuna and children walking with
cars and no car even daring to go five (5) miles per hour. There are community
garages, so the cars are separated out and also the fact that if they were lots...they
are not quite lots...but if they were lots, they are three thousand (3,000) square feet.
Everything that I just talked about whether you want to call it "smart growth" or
new urbanism," these are very much of the forefront of planning design standards
today. We recognize that our Code and existing Zoning Code prohibits this built
environment pattern. Recognizing that after having worked in there and coding it,
there is every intention of drafting up a subdivision and zoning ordinance that will
not, again, be a mandate but is an option for developers and landowners to look at to
provide housing opportunities. That I would say is the jumping off platform should
this...even if this Bill is not adopted, that is one of the next projects that the Planning
Department will be looking at.
Councilmember Cowden: Thank you.
COUNCIL MEETING 48 AUGUST 17, 2022
There being no objections, the meeting was called back to order, and proceeded
as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: We are on final discussion. Is there any final
discussion? Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin: I appreciate the work of the Planning
Department. I am pretty excited about this. I appreciate Ka`aina's discussion
explaining it at the end there to recognize that for the natural development pattern
of our plantation camps pre-Zoning Code were built in a way that that built
community and as our Zoning Code said, sort of outlawed that type of development
pattern. We can certainly see that within our town cores in that all of our sort of
vibrant town cores all across Hawaii were built pre-zoning codes and those zoning
codes have made that type of development impossible. I have always appreciated
Form-Based Code as a way to rectify that. I think it is interesting at least that as
Ka`aina said, this is at the forefront of urban planning and Smart Growth principles.
It is going back to the way that communities were naturally built pre-zoning. I am
excited about the possible use of Form-Based Code for plantation camps. I think they
have been really innovative through this. I did try and go through the seven
hundred (700) pages of documents on Form-Based Code that you provided us and did
not make it very far. I would appreciate, when we get to Committee, you said there
was going to be a presentation, but I hope that we can dive into a lot of the details
here to see how it is going to look or receive some of the feedback that you took in
from the community on how to really enshrine that sense of community in the
plantation camps. I am really excited about this. Thank you for all of your work, and
to Gay & Robinson for the collaboration here with the Planning Department to make
this happen.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Great. Is there any additional final
discussion? Hearing none, could I get a roll call vote?

Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2886) — A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
CHAPTER 8, KAUA`I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE DEFINITIONS (County of Kaua i
Planning Department, Applicant) (ZA-2022-14)
COUNCIL MEETING 49 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Kuali`i moved for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2886) on
first reading, that it be ordered to print, that a public hearing thereon be
scheduled for September 21, 2022, and that it be referred to the Planning
Committee, seconded by Councilmember Cowden.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. We received no written testimony
on this item. Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin moved to amend Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2886) as
circulated, and as shown in the Floor Amendment, which is attached hereto as
Attachment 3, seconded by Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Evslin: This is my final amendment for the day. This
is also by request of the Administration. The Bill as sent over from the Planning
Commission. As Council Services was going through it, there were some reformatting
works done...pretty extensive formatting work done...and some clarifying of
terminology. The amendment that is in front of you shows, the amended language
on the right-hand column. You can see the amendments highlighted in yellow. The
left-hand column shows the original language. The Bill that is in front of us has two
hundred twenty-four (224) definition changes, which I am sure Ka`aina is going to get
into. The amendment modified ninety-six (96) of those. The ninety-six (96) modified
definitions are included in this very extensive amendment here. The other one
hundred twenty-eight (128) are not included in the amendment because they were
not touched. You can briefly go through the ninety-six (96) definitions.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Again, this is first reading. We do have
missing Councilmembers. I would like to be able to move through this and get to
Committee as expediently as possible. I am going to suspend the rules and give the
floor to Ka`aina.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: Thank you, Council Vice Chair Chock and
Members of the Council. For our last bill here at the full Council, we have a
comprehensive update to the definitions section of the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance (CZO). This Bill has been worked on in some fashion or another for the
past decade. It did come up to the Council several years ago and there was quite
honestly a lot going on between the definitions section and the Use Table. There was
a lot of confusion created by the Department by submitting such a comprehensive and
robust change. Ultimately, that Bill was received. There were not any positions
against, it was just fairly confusing. In trying to spin this Bill back up, at the heart
of this Bill, it is just looking at definitions. Our definitions serve as the foundation
and premise for permitting as well as enforcement. Making sure we have succinct
definitions is crucial in the implementation of the Code. Even in discussions with the
Council Chair during our drafting of this Bill that we submitted to you, there was an
effort to focus solely on the definitions section of the Zoning Ordinance, and not
looking at any amendments to the table. What you have here are a series of either
clarifying changes to existing definitions that are within our definition table as they
are implemented through either the overall regulatory scheme of the Zoning
COUNCIL MEETING 50 AUGUST 17, 2022
Ordinance or through the Use Table. You have clarifying amendments to existing
definitions in the Zoning Code. You also have removal of definitions or words that
are not used anywhere in our Zoning Ordinance; therefore, the definition is not
necessary. Thirdly, you have brand-new definitions for words that are used
throughout the Table or Code that do not have any definitions. That is the vast
majority of the proposal. It is existing words that are used in our Use Table of
permitted uses in various zoning districts that did not have a definition. That is the
majority of the proposal. Lastly, there is no real substantive changes here. These
are all clarifying proposals. The only real substantive changes where through the
definitions we are actually reversing policy is, we can only identify one (1), and that
is the definition of"Day Use Area." Day use areas are outright permissible in the
Open Zoning District. The Open Zoning District is the most restrictive zoning district
and to be generally used for preservation and conservation efforts. The existing
definition of Day Use Areas is a commercial use that is outright permitted in the
Open Zoning District and that is the one (1) proposal where we are looking at saying
that we cannot charge a fee or otherwise and that day use areas and to be used for
non-commercial purposes. That is the only real substantive change that we are
actually diametrically changing the policy via definition. As we get into the weeds in
Committee or if you have questions here, there may be some concerns about clarifying
definitions that we have that we feel are necessary to implement the Use Table as it
is connected to a particular word in the defining section, but we are open for any
criticisms, amendments, discussions, or questions. That is kind of it in a nutshell.
To go through the amendment that you have in front of you, in the Department
and Council going back and forth over the past decade, when we transmitted this, I
will be honest, we did not realize until Council Services caught it, that there was a
considerable amount of formatting changes. So much to the point that there were
discussions about bringing it back to the Planning Commission, reformatting it, and
sending it back. I have to be very thankful to Jenelle over at your Office who
graciously offered to go through that process. I probably owe her more than my first
born, but she made all of these changes as concisely as they could possibly be made.
The amendment before you are just to get that formatting structure. There is nothing
substantive in this format change.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I appreciate that. I will take questions on the
amendment, which is a cleanup amendment. Although it is long, I have gone through
them. Are there any other questions? Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Kuali`i: I was not clear on what he was saying. What
page is "Day Use Area" on?
Council Vice Chair Chock: I think he was referring to the main Bill.
Councilmember Kuali`i: Okay.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Not the amendment. The substantive
changes are within the main Bill that was introduced. We are only talking about the
amendment first, which is non-substantive. We have excellent staff who look at the
details and that is what you have before you. Councilmember Cowden.
COUNCIL MEETING 51 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: I just have a little bit of a process question
that might be for you as much as it would be for Ka`aina. Definition changes can be
very significant. I am hoping that in Committee we are able to set aside the time to
allow a little bit of the tedium of going through it and not to be opening that up today.
I really appreciate the way that Jenelle has created this structure. It makes it much
easier to look at it. I have looked at some of those definitions. Nothing grabbed me
as being problematic. Today, we are not going to go through the different items, are
we?
Council Vice Chair Chock: I would leave it as...because we have some
Councilmembers missing, I would throw out as many questions as possible so that
they can prepare properly. If you are wanting to have them, be prepared at
Committee to give us a summary of each definition, then perhaps that is appropriate.
Perhaps they do not need to respond today.
Councilmember Cowden: I would rather write it and give it to them.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. I agree. Are there any other
questions on the amendment? Let us take public testimony on the amendment.
Mr. Lindner.
Mr. Lindner: I have one (1) question on the parcel
definition. It does not seem to be consistent with Real Property's definition where
the parcel definition means "an area of contiguous land owned by a person, a lot or
contiguous group of lots in single ownership or under single control usually
considered a unit for purposes of development." The Real Property Tax Assessment
Division has that a condominium property regime (CPR) is a parcel. That is not made
clear here. I guess the only other one is the farm dwelling. It is used as a residence
a lot of times...the Real Property is...I have seen it when there is a Class III zoning.
A Class III zoning can be put into eleven (11) or fifteen (15) in a Class III zoning if it
is a residence. If it is an agricultural Class III zoning, it does not specify how many
houses are on that. I think that should be defined and how you are using residence
within the farm dwelling. That is all. Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Would anyone else like to testify
on the amendment? I would just suggest...thank you for your testimony. If you have
anything in writing that you outlined specifically, it might be helpful for us as we
deliberate in Committee.
There being no further testimony, the meeting was called back to order, and
proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: We are on the amendment. Is there any final
discussion on the amendment? None.
The motion to amend Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2886) as circulated, and as
shown in the Floor Amendment, which is attached hereto as Attachment 3 was
then put, and carried by a vote of 5:0:2 (Councilmember DeCosta and Council
Chair Kaneshiro were excused).
COUNCIL MEETING 52 AUGUST 17, 2022
Council Vice Chair Chock: We are on the main motion. Are there any
questions? Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin: Ka`aina, thank you for doing this. I think it
mostly appears to be all good. You mentioned in your opening that you did not want
to make any changes to the Use Table. That sounds prudent. The Use Table has
always been a little frustrating to me. Instead of laying it out where you can look
across the line and look at single-family homes and see permissible or
non-permissible across each zoning category, instead of doing that, it separates
everything, so you have to scroll down through lots of pages. It is a tangent here, but
sort of related. If you are talking cleanup, was there consideration of trying to
condense the Use Table so that you could go straight across an item instead of
scrolling down through multiple items. Maybe along those lines, is it appropriate? It
does not seem that hard of a change. Would that be appropriate to add that on in
Committee as an amendment?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Mr. Hull: When we did that previously about five (5) or
six (6) years ago or even longer, we tried doing it in tandem with each other. As we
tried to sort through it with Councilmembers, each of the definitions that we were
trying to change, along with the uses in the Use Table, we threw our hands up in
confusion at each other. Not including it was not intentional to say that the Use
Table does not need to be fixed. It is not the most user-friendly interface. I think we
are in complete agreement. In trying to recognize which part of the apple we should
bite off first, knowing that we have to restart the process, we decided that definitions
might be the most appropriate because they have very specific ramifications and how
implementation is occurring. The Use Table would be the next step, if you will.
Councilmember Evslin: Thank you. I know we have about
seventy-two (72) bills from you on this agenda, so maybe in your next series of bills,
you can throw us the Use Table changes. I appreciate it. You are doing some good
work here.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Are there further questions on the main
motion? Members, if you have any questions in writing ahead of time. I will take
public testimony on the main motion. Is there anyone online? None.
There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting was called back
to order, and proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion? If not, roll call
vote.
COUNCIL MEETING 53 AUGUST 17, 2022
The motion for passage of Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2886) as amended on first

Ms. Fountain-Tanigawa: Five (5) ayes.
Council Vice Chair Chock: That brings us to Bills for Second Reading.
BILLS FOR SECOND READING:
Bill No. 2862, Draft 1 — A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
CHAPTER 5A, SECTION 9.2, KAUA`I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED,
RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAXES
Councilmember Kuali`i moved to approve Bill No. 2862, Draft 1 on second and
final reading, and that it be transmitted to the Mayor for his approval,
seconded by Councilmember Cowden.
Council Vice Chair Chock: We received no written testimony on
this item. Are there any questions on this item? This is a Bill for Second Reading
relating to golf courses. We had some amendments in Committee.
Councilmember Cowden: I am just making sure the amendment made
it in here. It did. No problem.
Council Vice Chair Chock: I will call for public testimony.
There being no objections, the rules were suspended to take public testimony.
Mr. Lindner: This is related to golf course, right? The issue
is that we are amending something. The fact that it says that it is not being assessed
for highest and best use seems like it is diametrically opposed to getting housing for
people. I believe there are probably four hundred (400) acres in Lihu`e that are golf
courses with R-4 zoning on it. You could make more of that. It already exists. If R-4
zoning is existing, you are not taxing assessing people on that. If you were to assess
people on that they would have to pay higher taxes. People would, I would think,
think twice about converting. Going into the future, are you saying that if it is on
agricultural land or if it is on Urban zoned land, and it is R-4, why would you not tax
or assess for highest and best use to encourage people to develop for housing.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Would anyone else like to testify?
COUNCIL MEETING 54 AUGUST 17, 2022
There being no further public testimony, the meeting was called back to order,
and proceeded as follows: .
Council Vice Chair Chock: We are on final discussion.
Councilmember Cowden: I am just making a comment on the change
that I had put in there. There is a difference in how we are going to look at a golf
course and what it is really used for. The piece is a part of a master plan and a big
piece of it is the water use, flow, and flood mitigation. That is different than an R-4.
It can be Open zoned and can be R-1. The main piece of this was just a simple change
taking it away from what is called imparted value.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion from the
Members? If not, we will take a roll call vote.
The motion to approve Bill No. 2862, Draft 1 on second and final reading, and
that it be transmitted to the Mayor for his approval was then put, and carried by
the following vote:

Ms. Fountain-Tanigawa: Five (5) ayes.
Council Vice Chair Chock: The motion passes. As promised, Members,
we are going to take a recess from our Council Meeting and open up our Committee
Meetings. Committee Chairs, if you could open up your Committee and then recess
so we can get to the Finance & Economic Development Committee for a presentation.
There being no objections, the meeting recessed at 11:18 a.m.
The meeting reconvened at 1:57 p.m., and proceeded as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Welcome back. We are on Bill No. 2872.
Bill No. 2872 — A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A,
KAUA`I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY
TAX (Tiered Residential Investor & Vacation Rental Tax Classifications)
Councilmember Kuali`i moved to approve Bill No. 2872 on second and final
reading, and that it be transmitted to the Mayor for his approval, seconded by
Councilmember Carvalho.
Council Vice Chair Chock: We received no written testimony on this
item. We are on second reading for this Bill. Are there any questions from the
Members? Is there anyone in the audience or on Zoom wishing to testify? We are on
the tiers Bill that we have been deliberating on for the last six (6) weeks or so.
There being no one present to provide testimony, the meeting proceeded as
follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Is there any final discussion from the
Members?
Councilmember Cowden: I have a small comment.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Yes, please.
COUNCIL MEETING 56 AUGUST 17, 2022
Councilmember Cowden: Thank you all for listening to the presentation
by the Department of Finance. I had that before this, because I get really concerned
about this Bill. What I like about this Bill is that it will take that sharp bump if
someone hits that threshold. I think that is really good. I think we need to be very
careful, whoever is in here making those property tax rates. Using a metaphor, I see
a bill like this as basically being the potential of a gun. The rates are the bullets,
right? If you do not have any bullets, there is no harm. When we look at people who
are the unintended consequences of what we were just discussing, if we push four (4),
five (5), or fifty (50) houses into sales or something else, and it ceases to be available
for either the homeowner or the long-term renter, we have missed our goal. That is
why I had wanted to bring that base rate up to two million dollars ($2,000,000). To
me, that is just any old house within two (2) years will be valued at that. I hope not.
I will be voting for this, because I like that it takes the bump or spike out. I am very
cautious that this could be used for what is intended to be a good purpose and it might
end up really have people fall through the cracks.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Does anyone else have final
discussion? Councilmember Kuali`i.
Councilmember Kuali`i: I see this more as a tool, and a surgical tool at
that. It will allow future Councils to look at the tax rates and have the ability to set
them differently all within the Vacation Rental and Residential Investor tax classes.
I see it as a good thing.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Councilmember Carvalho.
Councilmember Carvalho: I like to believe it is a good thing. We had a
healthy discussion at all levels. At the end of the day, it is just another way of
adjusting and moving forward. With all the discussions that have happened, even
with the Administration and Department of Finance, we are on the right path. It is
just setting the base for the next level. We are addressing a lot of the people who may
come into some challenging times. We can work through that. I believe that. We
can help them all. I look forward to supporting this.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Thank you. Councilmember Evslin.
Councilmember Evslin: I also support the Bill. I appreciate the Real
Property Tax Assessment Division working with Council Vice Chair and I for the last
four (4) years on this. It has been a long time coming. One of the barriers for a while
was on the implementation costs. I know the Real Property Tax Assessment Division
has done some work to try to bring those costs down. We discussed it a little bit the
last time, but we should expect a money bill coming soon for one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) to pay for software upgrades to implement this next year. As we
had discussed here, I do think it will make our Tax Code more equitable. The intent
is to smooth that curve out for those on the margins, so when you do cross that
threshold, we do not get a whole bunch of E-mails from people saying their house
when up in assessed value slightly, they did not know they had to turn in a lease
agreement, so their taxes went up by fifty percent (50%). Those issues will hopefully
be alleviated with this. Hopefully they see their taxes only go up by some marginal
amount and next year they need to ensure that they correct it. Also, ensuring that
COUNCIL MEETING 57 AUGUST 17, 2022
high-valued properties are paying their fair share. Right now, we do have low
property tax rates compared to the mainland. It incentivizes mainland investors to
park their money in Hawaii real estate and make lots of money over the appreciated
value of that property while paying minimal property taxes. It is a contributor to our
housing crisis. It is not the cause of our housing crisis. We are building too little
homes, that is the cause. Certainly, it is a contributor to our housing crisis when
one (1) in five (5) homes is either a Transient Vacation Rental (TVR) or a vacant
Residential Investor house. Hopefully we can use this as one more tool as everyone
said. Thank you all for the discussion, thank you the Real Property Tax Assessment
Division, and thank you to Council Vice Chair Chock for working with me on this.
Councilmember Cowden: I thought of a question I meant to ask. My
question would be for the Department of Finance, either for Reiko or Del from
Information Technology (IT). Do we have a software package identified? I know you
mentioned last time anticipating something like one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000). Do we have that, and do we know that we will be able to
implement it?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended.
Ms. Matsuyama: Yes, all of the counties in Hawaii use the
same software vendor. All of the other counties have tiers. We are the last ones. The
software company has provided us a quote of one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) to setup the proposal that is in place. Part of the problem is that
we did not budget the one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and then there is the
timing of it. That will all come into play once we are secured with this Bill.
Councilmember Cowden: Okay, thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Question?
There being no objections, the meeting was called back to order, and proceeded
as follows:
Council Vice Chair Chock: Does anyone have discussion?
Councilmember Evslin: In addition to thanking the Real Property Tax
Assessment Division for their work on this, going forward, I do realize it is going to
be a heroic push to try to get this implemented by next fiscal year. I think there will
be a lot of work going forward to make this happen. I appreciate it in advance of all
the work that will take place. Thank you.
Council Vice Chair Chock: Every time we make a change to our Tax
Code, there is the potential for some fallout. As the discussion that we had today has
shown, while I will not be here in 2024, you will be having this discussion. I do not
want to convolute the two (2). I think if you believe in the philosophy that we as
leaders have this obligation to find some equity and balance in the system, then this
is the tool and one of the tools that we have before us that we have to reach those
goals. As was mentioned by our Director of Finance, this one particularly, considering
COUNCIL MEETING 58 AUGUST 17, 2022
the housing needs that we have, goes far in moving us in that direction. My
encouragement is that we prepare in advance the changes that do occur. They
evidently will always cause some sort of gap that we need to pay attention to. With
that, I appreciate the Real Property Tax Assessment Division being willing to do this.
As Councilmember Evslin has said, this is something that we have been discussing
and looking at for many years. I am glad to see it come to fruition. Okay, if there is
no additional discussion, could I get a roll call vote?
The motion to approve Bill No. 2872 on second and final reading, and that it be
transmitted to the Mayor for his approval was then put, and carried by the

call us into Executive Session?
EXECUTIVE SESSION:
ES-1080 Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Sections 92-4 and
92-5(a)(4), and Kauai County Charter Section 3.07(E), the Office of the County

FLOOR AMENDMENT
Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2882), Relating to Educational Campgrounds
Introduced by: LUKE A. EVSLIN
Proposed Draft Bill (No. 2882), SECTION 1 is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Purpose. The Council finds that positive
supportive environments that camps create provide young people with the
opportunity to grow socially, develop important life skills (including critical
workforce-relates skills), and experience nature, all in a fun, hands-on setting.
Problem-solving, flexibility, and communication are skills critical to an individual's
success as they age and are easy to focus on while in an educational camping
environment.
The Council also finds that the camping experience can build a sense of
community between participants. Group activities where everyone works together
highlights the importance of community and develops an understanding of civic
responsibility. The educational camping experience can develop our youth's sense of
place for their home and outdoor environment through learning and practicing
agricultural and cultural practices unique to the history of Kauai.
The Council also finds that Ordinance No. 1105, which became effective
December 2, 2021, prohibits Developed Campgrounds in the Open Zoning District
and creates a possible dilemma for existing State and County parks and facilities
located in the Open Zoning District.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to permit educational campgrounds in the
Agriculture Zoning District and the Open Zoning District under the Use Permit
process and to exempt existing State and County campgrounds from Sec. 8-9.6."
