IIDA: Thank you so much for having us here today. I'm Tiffany Iida, I'm the Chair of the Maui County Sister Cities Foundation, and I'm here regarding PEA-85, and I wanted to let everyone know that our organization does support the sister-city relationship with San Juan, Metro Manila. They have been actually quite active in visiting us here. Back in 2013 and others will probably speak about this, there was a delegation that went there for a visit, and at that time they created a friendship between Maui County and San Juan, Metro Manila. Shortly after that, they actually, San Juan, Metro Manila actually passed Maui County to be a sister city. So their, for them we are a sister city, it's our side that they're waiting for in hope, they're hoping that we would become a sister city. Mayor Guia Gomez did visit Maui County soon after that, as well as Councilor Pacheco, Vincent Pacheco and he was here two years ago and - 3 - POLICY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE MINUTES Council of the County of Maui October 1, 2018 speaking...he spoke with the Mayor and was encouraging the Mayor to create the sister-city relationship. And he continues to be in contact and wishes for that. And that's about it. If anyone has questions for me. CHAIR SUGIMURA: Anyone have questions for...you know I have a question. MS. IIDA: Yes. CHAIR SUGIMURA: So, right now we're a friendship city -- MS. IIDA: Correct. CHAIR SUGIMURA: --and I wonder if you could tell us 'cause it's in the reso that what is a friendship city versus the...what is the difference in the relationship? MS. IIDA: Okay. Friendship cities is just an agreement between the mayors of each county or, you know, city. So, there was this friendship signing back in 2013 when they went to visit, when Mayor Arakawa went to visit San Juan, Metro Manila. So, in...for Maui County we are a friendship city with San Juan, Metro Manila, but they signed, San Juan, Metro Manila signed there for us to be a sister city. So, if you look on their website they list Maui County as a sister city. CHAIR SUGIMURA: Thank you. Ms. King? COUNCILMEMBER KING: Thank you. Thank you for being here. MS. IIDA: Thank you. COUNCILMEMBER KING: Is there... so there's an official sister-city document that we will be signing? MS. IIDA: Here -- COUNCILMEMBER KING: Okay. MS. IIDA: --it would be... COUNCILMEMBER KING: Or... MS. IIDA: Sorry. Oh...yes. COUNCILMEMBER KING: Besides this resolution do we have another document? MS. IIDA: There is just -- CHAIR SUGIMURA: It's for the Mayor. - 4 - POLICY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE MINUTES Council of the County of Maui October 1, 2018 MS. IIDA: --a signing of a friendship. So, in San Juan, Metro Manila...so for us to become a sister city the Mayor has to request it with the resolution and Council has to pass it -- COUNCILMEMBER KING: Okay. MS. IIDA: --for us to be... COUNCILMEMBER KING: But there is another document that we then sign or is it just this one? MS. IIDA: Yes, yes. COUNCILMEMBER KING: There is another document? MS. IIDA: So, it would be...yes. So, it would be a Council approving the resolution for us to become sister cities. COUNCILMEMBER KING: No, no, I know that. MS. IIDA: Oh. COUNCILMEMBER KING: But once we approve it, is there another document that... MS. IIDA: Oh yes. So, then what will probably happen is our mayors will come together once again and sign a sister-city, like a memorandum of understanding. COUNCILMEMBER KING: Oh, okay. And is there like a financial obligation or does... MS. IIDA: There could be. COUNCILMEMBER KING: Okay. MS. IIDA: There's no... COUNCILMEMBER KING: There's nothing written? MS.

  • Statement by U. S. Senatordanielk. Inouye
    STATEMENT BY U. S. SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE ON MAUI COUNTY PETITION FOR REVOCATION OF RESTRICTED AREA R-3104 (DOCKET NO. 15519) I wish to take this means to express to the Federal Aviation Adminis­ tration my support of the petition filed by Maui County Mayor Elmer F. Cravalho, requesting the revocation of airspace in Restricted Area R-3104 and Associated Warning Area W-324 (Docket No. 15519). In addition, I wish to voice my longstanding concern for the safety and welfare of the residents of Maui, who have been subjected to danger by naval aircraft operating in the Kahoolawe vicinity for more than 30 years. Certainly the growth and development of Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian chain, has been evident in recent years. Tourism lately has become a prospering industry. The State Department of Planning and Economic Development last year reported that tourism has become increasingly important to the Maui economy, joining pineapple and sugar as vital income and revenue producers. The State also has said .it expects major expansion of the tourist industry on the island to continue. To date visitor accommodations in the County have increased more than tenfold since 1960. On the Island of Maui, 5,644 hotel units were available to visitors in October, 1974, some 4,100 of which were located in the Lahaina- Napili area on the island’s southwestern shore, close to Kahoolawe. Last year the State projected that 2,775 new hotel units would be built on Maui. The rapid development of Maui and corresponding increases in both the visitor and resident population has meant that the possible threat to per­ sonal safety posed by naval air operations over nearby Kahoolawe Island has intensified.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I have enclosed a copy of the 1982 DBED study on the feasibility of Molokai becoming a separate county. It concludes that nothing can be studied without more funding. There was to have been another study done on the feasibility of creating something like a township or sub-unit of a county in response to a request. by the Fourteenth Legislature (37. to be reported in 1988). but nothing has been found. The library staff at. DEED is still looking for the report . State Archives searched exhaustively and found nothing. House and Senate received nothing. and there is no Governor's message on file. The report. probably said little more than. we need more money to study this." If the report re-surfaces, I will send a copy to the Charter Commission. On a separate matter, please do consider the possibility of linking Maui County public meetings and hearings via joining the State's ACCESS and FYI systems. working with MCC and Chronicle Cablevision re: interactive meetings.

  • GUEST: PAT SAIKI 2 LSS 206 (LENGTH: 27:19) FIRST AIR DATE: 09/23/08 Aloha No; and Welcome to Long Story Short on PBS Hawaii;
    GUEST: PAT SAIKI 2 LSS 206 (LENGTH: 27:19) FIRST AIR DATE: 09/23/08 Aloha no; and welcome to Long Story Short on PBS Hawaii; I’m Leslie Wilcox. Last week, Pat Saiki recalled a time in Hawaii’s history when there was bi-partisan collaboration in the State Legislature, instead of what she calls “partisanship gone to the edge.” A Republican, she served as a State lawmaker, U.S. Congresswoman and head of the nation’s Small Business Administration. More with Pat Saiki next. Pat Saiki, wife, mother of five, and public school teacher, entered politics in order to open doors for people, especially women and minorities. And though she was another kind of minority in Hawaii, a Republican, she was able to work across the political aisle to get laws changed. When collaboration failed, the former Hilo girl could be a fierce opponent. Did you ever look at yourself as others might be seeing you, or did you do a lot of introspection that way, or did you just say, Whatever? Whatever. This is who I am. That’s right; exactly. And you didn’t—did you look for mentors or people who could show you by example? There weren’t any. [chuckle] You know. There—I hope that the women who follow after me will pursue their goals and find the successes I did. And like I say, my life with my children, though—I mean, throughout this whole thing, the five kids were raised well, I thought. And my husband was a big help; he was the kind of support that you don’t see or get very often.

  • Governor Linda Lingle As Hawaii's Chief Executive from December 2
    Governor Linda Lingle As Hawaii’s chief executive from December 2, 2002 to December 6, 2010, Governor Linda Lingle delivered on her commitment to improving the quality of life for all Hawaii’s residents, while positioning the 50th state for long-term prosperity. During her eight years in office, Governor Lingle provided a clear vision for a fundamental transformation of Hawaii’s economy through the Hawaii Innovation Initiative and the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, both of which positioned Hawaii as a model for other island territories and nations. Her administration placed Hawaii in the forefront of renewable energy usage, establishing a community-supported implementation roadmap that will result in 70% of the State’s electricity coming from clean energy by the year 2030. Governor Lingle is committed to improving the quality of education by providing Hawaii’s youth with the skills they need to compete and excel in the global economy. Her Administration focused on promoting innovation through science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education for Hawaii’s students, implementing hands-on, real world learning through robotics competitions and creativity academies. During her Administration many state services saw dramatic improvements, including support for persons with mental illness, child welfare services, welfare-to-work programs, Native Hawaiians homestead awards, and modernization of the state’s airports, harbors and highways. Governor Lingle was instrumental in gaining the support of President George W. Bush to designate Papahanaumokuakea (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) a national monument, which recently was awarded United Nations designation as a World Heritage Site. Governor Lingle has been proactive in forging links with our Asia-Pacific neighbors, repeatedly visiting China, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea to form partnerships in education, trade, culture, tourism, clean energy, emergency preparedness, film, digital media, and health services.
