This agenda and meeting materials are available on the HCDA website at, dbedt.hawaii.gov/hcda. Hard copies can be reviewed at the HCDA office located at 547 Queen Street, 5^th Floor, Honolulu, Hawaii.  The HCDA welcomes public testimony on HCDA agenda items.  Written public testimony will be accepted through our website at dbedt.hawaii.gov/hcda/ up to 12:00 p.m. the day before the date of the meeting. Persons wishing to submit public testimony after the written testimony deadline are encouraged to appear in person at the meeting to present oral testimony.  Persons who intend to present oral testimony on HCDA agenda items may sign-up at the beginning of each meeting.  Please be advised that any written public testimony submitted to the HCDA will be treated as a public record, and any contact information contained therein may be available for public inspection and copying.

The HCDA is located at 547 Queen Street, Honolulu, Hawaii. HCDA does not have public parking; however, there are several parking options in the area. Metered street parking is also available on a first-come first-served basis.

We recommend splitting this into two separate items. One for the Makai parcels that the board was already briefed on at the last meeting and a separate item for the other parcels. That way, if the Board is uncomfortable with authorizing the transfer of the Mauka parcels, they won’t vote down or defer the everything which would delay the transfer of the Makai parks. Additionally, because this item is so broad and doesn’t actually identify any of the land subject to transfer, we have concerns it may run afoul of sunshine law.

Based on the public comments at the last meeting, this will clearly generate a lot of community interest. As a practical matter, including both mauka and Makai will allow any testifiers to air their grievances about issues in both mauka and Makai which could cause the discussion to spiral out of control and get away from the actual immediate purpose of the item; ie to transfer the Makai parcels to the City.
