items we've established limited telephone interactive individuals who wish to offer testimony in the chamber please sign up at the desk located on the eighth floor lobby just outside the chamber door testimony at all locations is limited to the items listed on today's agenda and pursuant to the rules of the counsel each testify or is allowed to testify for up to three minutes with one minute to conclude if requested when testifying please state your name and the name of any organization you represent upon our office please identify yourself and introduce your first testif thank you mr chair we have two individuals who have signed up to testify in the chamber and the first person to testify in the chamber is rosemary robins testifying on committee report fifteen dash sixty nine and c c county communication fifteen one eighty nine having prepared a number of our youths male and female to become lifeguards like running instructors lifeguarding instructor trainers it's been such a joy for me to watch the women be able to go on to higher education as for the young man and be able to have some of their financial aid come by way of being lifeguards at their institutions of higher learning how nice ok so this morning in terms of item fifteen sixteen that's going to be on your actual documents themselves not with lawyers or anybody else's interpretations of them but the actual documents so this first one is the agreement itself concerning the development and dedication department has insufficient source capacity available in the central south maui area to provide water to the kale on e ourselves in additional water source must be developed but does that sound familiar to those of us who have been waiting for years country it also says on page one that the department it's water resource management several state allocation is being pumped from the groundwater aquifer at an average rate of five million and fifteen thousand gallons per day what is that doing to the aquifer ok then over and page two the department says that it has unique circumstances and the daily pumping will be five million four hundred ninety one thousand gallons of water from the ground or what does that do to the aquifer then it talks over here on page three there at the council meetings agenda has all sorts of recognition of noncompliance by the department tough shape for us so we need to make sure that we don't ignore the actual documents read them this one like i say has twelve pages not too tough to really tough to hear ok and the second one for today absence since of the omission that some people would call that i guess but when we're talking about that we're talking about the fact that we have a document coming from the court itself in honolulu this is a federal court and it has identified three different times that now it was wrong by having not taken care of its wastewater situation and having that further pollute the grounds around the injection wells up on the line outside and into the near shore waters you know x so when we take a look at that and please do so i have that here in hand again this is from the federal court reading from page one that the federal court h denied to the counties request to not have to deal with those talks over on page ten injection while qualifies as a point source it makes no sense to say as a matter of law that the county lacked fair notice concert had plenty of notice including from the e p a this is a federal court we're dealing with now and on page eleven of this document it says that this is a citizen's lawsuit expressly countenanced by the clean water act one nine hundred seventy two that allows private parties to protect  i's water is reading this now by suing over the water violations in the absence of protective action by public officials while i was in one of the you went outside the door sessions yesterday there was another concerned citizen there who said oh it's time to move your car because they are all in separate session so the concerned citizens have been left out on this unless they read it so i'm glad to have been able to present that this morning asking you to please not keep playing this cash cow of more than two million dollars in order to defend an indefensible situation thank you and i just and those of you who are heading over to the carolinas between your meetings if you need to swim and county communication or fifteen dash one ninety six good morning good morning chair white and members of the council my name is lucy and the ne since no one else came out is how to write down all those numbers actually of a very very interesting agenda for the end there are things that to remark on so i'll start with the fifteen dash sixty three this has to do with amending the workforce housing policy  as it deals with foreclosures so these would be homes that were created under the workforce housing law that have some limitations on how long that they need to re main affordable i believe the basic limitation now is down to ten years it was twenty five before the bill was amended recently and now if these properties are foreclose the banks would be extremely inconvenienced if there was any affordability cla attached to them so we need to kind of get rid of that i would just want to point out to you folks that group of citizens had to sue our banks here because they were boosting their own profits and limiting opportunities for affordable housing for people and fortunately these citizens were somewhat successful they started shaking some money loose to allow some people who otherwise would have fallen off the map and not qualified for the dream of homeownership here i would just urge i know this is a process and you know you just need to do your votes and get on but i would really urge that the county have some tough negotiators that sit down with our banks and if they can't find banks that really want to support the ordinary people's ability to be able to afford a house and to keep those houses affordable so the next guy can afford them too then we should find some other banks or we should work with banks who are willing we need to break this impasse a because banks are a big part of the problem here so that's all i have to say about this i am not saying how you should vote or not vote but this is not hitting us in the right direction to really solve one of the parts of what we need to do to have housing that is affordable and if you don't believe me i can quote from mayor who said the same thing in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine on to the next please this is item fifteen dash six nine and this is the one that miss robbins just referred to the water source agreement on the wire to well that's being proposed by the killarney partnership i did send in written comments this morning just in case anybody wants to keep them for the record but i will say right at the beginning i do have some expertise in water matters i have been qualified as an expert witness on water issues at the state land use commission and i have been called in various you know hearings and things like that to answer questions about waters because i researched water resources in two thousand and two to two thousand and four and issued a report on them the it is still used by folks i also want to say that this contract while it appears to be very thorough and to give the county a a no cost alternative a really is not no cost the county is issuing meters and the meters will defray some of the costs of putting in these wells so the people who are putting in the wells are taking a risk that there may or may not be water they are getting a fairly good deal i think the first thing that needs to be considered is the original assumption if the department really has insufficient source the department does have one point five million gallons of water that can be treated additional water at the treatment plant want to disbanded this water i believe would probably come on line maybe before these wells so to conclude that there is no other source for this project may or may not be false i would really question that then there is the idea that there's a lot of ifs involved here there's a lot of ifs about whether the site would produce good water or enough water or whether the allocation that the water commission has given me partners from the for is still going to be honored and is going to be transferable to the county if the well can be built in three years if the well can get all the approvals from department of health and if the department of water supply likes what they see there and i'm saying these are it's because the county sort out a similar agreement with the land in pine that well never got used it wasn't a good well it didn't have the source it it anticipated and so forth and so on so this does happen and then there's the what ifs if if that takes too long to build the county still needs to issue about  hundred seventy five thousand gallons worth a meter stick a whole army so does this mean that goes to affordable homes are just whoever they just jump to the front of the line also the well is a higher elevation in the county wells what if it impairs the capacity of the county wells there's no mention of that in the contract and lastly the big one is there can be source i'm sorry is this my last minute you can you're just about to the end here to thank you i am  the idea that the source credits can be transferred to me creates kind of a two tier system here there's the people who have to wait in line for meters and then there's the people like a whole lonny who  can sort of do what they want with water and sell it at any cost and this happened with the darling lamb well the cool malo well no one could get a water meter up country but my friend was willing to pay thirty thousand dollars when water meters cost four or five and he got part of dolling source credit so is this what the consul really wants to do is to sort of set up private companies as the purveyor of water and where will this water it will probably go to the highest bidder so my suggestion would be that we really need to look at that part of the contract and see if it can be deleted and i personally would ask the water commission if they would also see that as really pono and really keeping with protection of our public trust resources the last thing i will say is the county had an agreement like this before was called the central valley joint venture and no one kept accounting of all the credits and now maybe we have better accounting methods now in the years of computer but there were this resulted in lawsuits and a lot of misunderstandings so making it complicated and making multiple people that can get credits is never a good idea thank you for your time on to the next item and i be brief this is fifteen dash one eighty nine authorizing the funding for the why w fund versus at all versus townie of mally on the line a wastewater treatment plant lawsuit i agree with miss robbins you're kind of throwing good money after bad but i am i am i am and encouraged to see that there's also an item that might authorize a settlement in this suit this would make the most sense the county has a lot of goals that they would like to meet in terms of reusing waste water and settlement would allow the county to meet these goals keep the e p a happen happy and just let us all move on so i urge you to consider how that settlement might move forward and my last  unit to be built on a somewhat smaller lot than the seven thousand five hundred square foot i have to say that when we were in g pack that we discuss this as kind of on the ground solution for families they're looking to have a place where their kids could live for two to could live and so forth and so on and especially in our a lot of our rural areas some of the lots do not meet the standard sizes i know this is true  haiku i'm not sure a five thousand square foot is exactly the right size maybe it's more like six thousand but i think that's something that you really should be discussed by the planning commission and i'm very happy to see that this is u nder discussion because we do need to have some provision for individuals to deal with their family's own needs and be strong and i love the idea that there would be an agreement with  the department of health and human services to keep this honest so it's not like oh i just told you i'm a i tell you i have a farm because i planted ten little quite plants and i have a horse grazing there and do i really have a farm or probably not well do i really have an affordable rental yeah if i have an agreement i do have an affordable rental and i notice that the big island actually has a provision for kind of a tax break for those who have affordable rentals on their property so i think it's a good direction we obviously belo agrees with there's many different ways to arrive at affordable housing and this is probably one of the rules in the quiver so i thank you for your time you know i didn't sign up for this but i also want to really commend  appointment of tim bailey to the cultural resources commission his mom or dean is just an icon in our community and he's done such wonderful service at the national park and he's a really really good fit for this  committee thank you very much and you missed any members are there any is there any need for clarification of any of the testimony see none thank you i mean this morning i'm sure in the thought was the last individual who signed up to provide testimony this morning and if there's any individual in the chamber or the district offices that would like to offer testimony please identify yourself to the appropriate staff and proceed to the testimony we've received written testimony without objection members will enter the written testimony

leaders that were there understand some of the frustrations we have is a legislative branch that needs to finance the contracts and that we would hope that some of our comments in the future would help guide the direction of collective bargaining particularly regarding ability of the contracts and the ability to pay our employees what is fair already is right but also in return to get back to the fair day's work for wages paid by city and we have areas that we need to work on including comp time and others but that's for another session mr chairman so i just i modesta members to approve

in first reading and be ordered to print second from the spice script thank you chair your housing human services and transportation committee met on june eighteenth twenty fifth to discuss to propose bills for the director of housing and human concerns that clarify the revisions as set forth and ordinance for one seven seven twenty fourteen a proposed bill for an ordinance amending chapter two point nine six county code relating to the residential housing policy credits and foreclosures amends the residential workforce housing policy specific to sections two point nine nine six point zero five of presidential workforce housing units constructed within a development shall be eligible for credits in routing projects that are one hundred percent affordable their proposed revision to section two point nine six point zero six zero clarifies that deed restrictions shall not apply in situations of foreclosure her prose revision addresses concerns of mortgage lenders who are not in favor of restrictions in place while the owner is the occupant of a housing unit once the unit enters for foreclosure ever at the county pays deed restrictions shall be left it and the financial institution may take  policy and chapter two or one eight revised statutes projects clarifies the provisions in the policy specific to section two point nine six point three zero we county negative effects on their purchases ability in their words may negatively effect which means they're not sure they're improving it to the county debt it does negatively affect the purchasers ability i would think there's ways if you're a smart accountant smart banker to make it work for you this why would anyone do it mortgage with your bank even if it's an affordable unit i would say the co together i mean if the banks want to play that way that's fine i think every county has millions in short term accounts in state banks just on our day to day banking checking accounts we should look at support the county's policies and invest our short term assets or checking accounts in those type of banks that willing to do business with its people in this county and we should convince our sister counties to do the same i think i always attention if millions of county funds are yanked and put into other institutions that have a little more sensitivity about their communities makeup and what makes these community work to make an impact by deciding to drawer fronts and put in banks that are more willing to work with this county to take our people and that is what i would say and if we need to i for

asked for coun support of the recommendations thank you chair thank you any further discussion members mr chairman i speak in support of the motion i have some reservations so i think church can do the great job with this issue we first comment about this this morning during testimony i just was see my disagreement with the director of water supply whether or not council can restrict water and i oh that's not his preference but he's not a policy maker we are second he says more appropriate poses conditions of zoning what if the land doesn't go through  and end is we still don't have enough affordable we need to be a little bit maybe more bold if that's the right word chairman i think we are able to through t to maybe we might need to do so experiment the house in x because i think we have enough smart people within the nine of us to come in was some new ideas and proposals there's a lot of great community organizations that can come up with some new pilot approaches zero zero issues i mean we can make some impact because i would like to be able to see when it's our turn to couch thank you mr chair and having not been on that committee i'm not on that committee of voting member on that committee and i wasn't there for that discussion i know some issues were brought up by testimony on this and i'm just curious if the what the responses were to those issues in committee work because i don't see it in the committee report so i'm assuming those concerns were brought up at committee time thank you yes there was a lot of discussion about many things i want to assure that my members that i am trying my very very best to move some things in the water committee member victory no  really tough commitment to move to get things done because it's so emotional but you will be seeing some innovative bills coming out of that committee and i hope that i can get your support so we can do something percent but a lot and you know the shaft thirty three is really in a condition that if that just caved in we are a lock and this is just one part to that solution to making sure that we have consistent water supply for existing users and not you know not even the new people coming online so this is just one of those  and that is nearly half the water supply draw is from that well so all of this isn't running in concurrency i understand what the testifiers are bringing forward but i know a lot of this was discussed not only in the infrastructure  and environmental management community but also in water for a number of us will this is something that needs to be done
