Rideshare
by Enterprise: Account Representative Kanani Iaea is scheduled to
describe a new vanpool program that the city hopes will get 1,050 drivers off
the road. In the program, the city will provide $1 million for two years to
help motorists form vanpools that use Enterprise vehicles. Vanpool riders will
pay $100 per month.
Senator’s Constituent Services: Kathy Bryant, an outreach liaison
for Senator Brian Schatz, is
expected to give a brief presentation about the senator’s office services and
youth programs.
Mosquito Control Study
Resolution: Our vice-chairman, Bill Sager,
will present a revised resolution supporting research on eliminating mosquitos
from the state. The resolution will ask the Legislature to authorize the
University of Hawaii to do the research. The resolution was revised after Board
members raised questions at our October meeting. The revised version clarifies that
mosquitos represent a threat to humans as well as wildlife, and that the study
should encompass the entire state. A decision on the resolution is expected at
our meeting.
Other Business: Our agenda always includes time
for reports from the Fire and Police Departments, Marine Corps Base Hawaii,
elected officials from the state and local levels, community organizations, and
our Board committees.
Vacant Seats: Three
seats are currently open on the Board. They represent Sub-District 4, Keahala; Sub-District
8, Kapunahala; and Sub-District 12, Pikoiloa. The Board is authorized to fill
vacancies by appointment. Community members may indicate their interest by contacting
Board Chairman Mo Radke or
by attending a Board meeting. A
map of the district is
available online, as is a
street index that
is organized by sub-district (search for District 30 in the index, then find
the sub-district).
Details: The Board meeting will take place in the cafeteria of
Benjamin Parker Elementary School, 45-259 Waikalua Road, starting at 7
p.m.
