Kaneohe Neighborhood Board Blog

We had quite a few people bring up important issues at last months meeting and in response our chair has created a flow chart to view how the normal process of getting a resolution through the neighborhood board goes.  To be clear anyone in the community is free to draft a resolution you just need to get a board member to introduce it.

You'll see at the top once an issue is brought to the board their is a discussion and then there are two routes to getting a resolution for the board to take action on.

In the first route the committee takes this issue up and has a normal committee meeting open to the public and then drafts a resolution which is then presented to the board for a action.  If you take this route a resolution can come into being in 2 normal board meetings ( 1 for introduction of issue, 2nd for the board action) and a committee meeting happens in-between the two.

The other option is the board can vote to form a Personal Interaction Group (PIG).  If using a PIG then the PIG members can form meetings and have communication over the issue whenever they want and then they must report all findings and recommendation of actions to the board at a normal board meeting.  This route takes a little longer to accomplish, because the 1st meeting the issue is brought to the board, the 2nd meeting the board votes to approve the PIG and then the 3rd regular meeting the PIG can present it's findings and resolution. 

We had multiple issues brought up last meeting and we have multiple issues we will be discussing this month as well as resolutions for various items that will be voted on.  Also people from both sides of the Constitutional Amendment debate will be presenting and leaving room for questions.  October is shaping up to be an exciting meeting so make sure you are there to lend your voice.
