Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) -- Pat Lee with the Honolulu Rail Transit Project (HRTP) reported the following:
o HART has awarded the Design-Build contract for the Airport Guideway and Stations to Shimmick Traylor Granite Joint Venture.
o The $875 million contract includes design and construction of five point two (5.2) miles of elevated guideway and four (4) rail stations. The Airport Guideway runs from near the Aloha Stadium to the Middle Street Transit Center Station. In addition to the Middle Street station, the project also includes the Lagoon Drive Station, the Pearl Harbor Naval Base Station and the Honolulu International Airport Station.
o Construction of the West Oahu Farrington Highway guideway segment, from East Kapolei to Leeward Community College and the Rail Operations Center in Waipahu is finished. Roadway restoration work and traffic signalization upgrading are underway. Over eight (8) miles of the guideway has been completed to date, with work continuing through Pearl City and Aiea to the Aloha Stadium. Nearly 5,300 segments, 450 columns and 440 spans are completed. Work has begun on the west side stations.
o Pre-engineering work to locate underground utilities will continue in the City Center segment, which is from Middle Street to Ala Moana Center. Investigative pot-holing on Dillingham Boulevard and design for relocation of utilities as well as land acquisition is continuing, which will be followed by pre-engineering work in Downtown, Kakaʻako and Ala Moana.
o (In response to Ms. Michelle Foyt's question about aging infrastructure in the area, one of the side benefits of relocating some of the utilities to make room for the rail guideway is that many of these pipes and lines are older and would have to be replaced eventually.)
o HART's position is to proceed as planned with the full 20-mile, 21 stations and complete the project once funds are available. HART is working on a recovery plan for the Federal Transportation Authority (FTA) to deal with the current funding shortfall in the interim. Once the cost, revenue, ridership and schedule calculations are done, recommendations will be offered to the HART board to consider.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Consider Resolution in Support of Requiring Sufficient Notice Prior to Finance Committee Hearings at the Legislature -- Zehner offered the following resolution, which passed last year, for renewal. Chang moved and Hurst seconded to adopt the resolution. Discussion followed. Hurst wanted to change the word "cheated" to "disenfranchised." Zehner agreed. Chair Tam suggested that, "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to all Neighborhood Boards and to Representatives of the State of Hawaiʻi Legislature." Zehner agreed. The final resolution read --

"WHEREAS, as it stands the Hawaii House of Representatives rules currently allow for House finance bills to be waived from the normal 48 hours for a public hearing notice, to a notice of any duration. In one (1) case in 2015, just 21 minutes of notice. In 2016, the House Finance Committee again disenfranchised constituents out of adequate hearing notice on multiple bills by providing less than one hour of posted hearing notice; and

WHEREAS, this practice is completely unfair to constituents on bills concerning their tax monies and considering that these bills have approximately one and a half (1 1/2) months to be heard, now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED that the Ala Moana/Kakaʻako Neighborhood Board No. 11 again protests the unfair practice of "surprise public hearings" and asks that the Hawaii House of Representatives amend its current rules to end the said unfair practice."

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to all Neighborhood Boards and to Representatives of the State of Hawaiʻi Legislature.

As there were no objections, the motion was ADOPTED as amended by UNANIMOUS CONSENT, 7-0-0 (AYE: Ammons, Bumgarner, Chang, Horvath, Hurst, Tam, and Zehner; NAY: None; ABSTAIN: None). The amendments were as follows:
1. Change the word "cheated" to "disenfranchised."
2. Add "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to all Neighborhood Boards and to all Representatives of the State of Hawaiʻi Legislature."
NEW BUSINESS

Consider Resolution in Support of Developing a Dog Play Area at the Kawaihao Mini Park -- Bumgarner offered the following resolution:

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF CREATING A DOG PARK
AT THE KAWAIAHAO MINI PARK

WHEREAS, the Kawaiahao Mini Park is an approximately 9,000 square foot City park at the corner of Cooke Street and Kawaiahao Street established in 1991; and

WHEREAS, there is an agreement between the City and County of Honolulu and the Imperial Plaza Association of Apartment Owners (AOAO) that the AOAO will maintain the park to City standards; and

WHEREAS, the number of users of the park has dwindled significantly, possibly due to the increased population of homeless and transient individuals in the Kaka'ako area; and

WHEREAS, the residential developments in the immediate vicinity are all pet-friendly, yet provide limited open space for dogs and other pets; and

WHEREAS, there is no public-dedicated area for dogs in the Ala Moana/Kaka'ako and Makiki neighborhoods; and

WHEREAS, the Imperial Plaza AOAO has agreed to maintain the Kawaiahao Mini Park if it is converted to a dog park, if all other conditions remain the same; and now therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED, the Ala Moana/Kakaʻako Neighborhood Board No. 11 supports the conversion of the Kawaiahao Mini Park to a Dog Park; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board urges the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, the Honolulu City Council, and the Hawaii Community Development Authority to support the conversion of the Kawaihao Mini Park to a Dog Park by providing planning, design, and capital funding necessary for the conversion; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Mayor of the City and County Honolulu, the Honolulu City Council, the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation, the Hawaii Community Development Authority, State Senator Brickwood Galuteria and State Representative Scott Saiki.

Chang moved and Horvath seconded to support the Dog Park Resolution. Discussion followed. Bumgarner noted that the HCDA would not allow a chain-link fence. A few residents of the Imperial Plaza were against the "off leash" Dog Park, as people use the park, too. The motion was NOT ADOPTED, 4-2-1 (AYE: Bumgarner, Chang, Horvath, and Tam; NAY: Ammons and Hurst; ABSTAIN: Zehner).

Chair Tam relinquished the gavel to First Vice Chair Hurst.

Consider Resolution Urging the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to Consider Community Engagement During the Leasing Process for Wind Power on the Outer Continental Shelf -- Tam explained that a presentation was done a couple of months ago and Tam offered the following resolution:

RESOLUTION PROVIDING COMMENTS TO THE
BUREAU OF OCEAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT RELATING TO
POTENTIAL OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT NEAR OAHU

WHEREAS, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has requested, via the Federal Register, comments from the public regarding the issuance of commercial wind energy leases (Docket No. BOEM-2016-0036); and

WHEREAS, the BOEM could issue a lease, either through a competitive or non-competitive process, that would give the lessee the exclusive right to see BOEM approval for the development of wind energy; and

WHEREAS, effective and successful community engagement is important for both the public and project proponents alike; and now therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED, the Ala Moana/Kakaʻako Neighborhood Board No. 11 urges the BOEM to maximize effective public and community stakeholder input and relationship building throughout the development of offshore wind energy infrastructure; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be transmitted to the BOEM and all Neighborhood Board Chairs.
