Questions, comments and concerns followed: 1. Promotion: Tsugawa asked and Officer Paiva responded that he did not recently get promoted. Officer Paiva added that he would prefer to stay in his current position as he enjoys the duties of his job. 2. Traffic: Yakowenko noted that at Waipahu Elementary School, on Waipahu Street and Waikele Road, there are two (2) signs that visibly state “No Parking” from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. except for school buses. This allows room for school buses that are picking up students after school to pull out of traffic so that students can board the bus. Yakowenko noted that he has observed cars parked there on four (4) separate occasions within a two (2) week time period after 2:00 p.m. This causes buses to sit in the lane Oahu’s Neighborhood Board System – Established 1973 WAIPAHU NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 22 THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 2017 REGULARMEETINGMINUTES PAGE2OF10 of traffic rather than pulling to the side to allow students to board the bus; in addition, Yakowenko observed students and adults jaywalking. Yakowenko noted that he tried to alert HPD of the issue so that violators would be reprimanded, however, HPD did not arrive in enough time to respond. Yakowenko asked that HPD be proactive and arrive during the after school rush to observe and regulate these offenses. Officer Paiva replied that he will be working on the PIT count for a while longer but will try to assign an officer to the area for the following day. 3. Weed and Seed Funding: Herolaga asked and Officer Paiva replied that the mission of the Weed and Seed program is alive and present despite a lack of funding due to the programs’ expansion. 4. Raid: Andrade asked and Officer Paiva replied that the Stop sign that was damaged on Kunia Road by the Denny’s happened before a raid that happened that day as well. Officer Paiva added that the traffic/crowd level was minimized due to “No Parking” signs that were recently placed along Kunia Road. 5. Parking on Sidewalk: Wheatley noted his attendance at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) on Kahualii Street. Wheatley added that cars have been observed parking on the sidewalk which prevents church-goers who catch the bus to the Church from utilizing the sidewalk. Officer Paiva asked and Wheatley replied that it is not church-goers who are parking on the sidewalks and added that the church has tried to use “tow-away zone” signs with some success but residents continue to park on the sidewalk. Officer Paiva replied that Wheatley can submit this concern to www.honolulupd.org and leave his contact information, HPD can then provide feedback to let him know how the issue is being addressed.

This includes tour helicopters as well as prop planes. Schoonover has reached out to several agencies with no lead on who can regulate noise pollution. Schoonover proposed that the Board pass a motion that the State establish an “Aircraft Noise Abatement Program” to represent tax paying residents on the issue of aircraft noise pollution. 2. Unrelated: Tsugawa commented that Schoonover’s request was not related to military and should be presented at a later time. Chair Saniatan noted that he asked Schoonover to present at this time as he thought that it would relate to the helicopter hotline. Saniatan asked that the Mayor’s Representative and Governor’s Representative take note of the issue and respond during their turn to report. 3. Response: Oshiro asked if Captain Boler could comment or advise the resident on the issue. Captain Boler replied that he could not respond on the issue and directed Schoonover to the Army Public Affairs Office.

    REPRESENTATIVE HENRY AQUINO COMMUNITY REPORT HOUSE DISTRICT 35 SEAVIEW * CRESTVIEW * WAIPAHU Mid-session Highlights 2012 MARCH 15, 2012 2012 MID-SESSION HIGHLIGHTS The 2012 Mid-Session Highlights is a preliminary report of some of the accomplishments of the Hawaii House of Representatives up to the First Crossover, or the midpoint of the 2012 Regular Session. Since the legislative session is still in progress, the status of the measures listed in this report will continue to evolve. OVERVIEW The House of Representatives approved measures aligned with its priorities of economic recovery and job growth for the 2012 Legislative Session. The bills, which are part of 286 measures that passed third reading before crossing over to the Senate, focus primarily on Economic Revitalization and Business, Agriculture, Military Affairs, and Healthcare. The House and Senate quickly passed a priority measure, House Bill (HB) 2096, on Unemployment Insurance in order to stop a scheduled rise in rates that would have negatively impacted employers at a time when the economy is still struggling. The Governor signed the bill into law on March 9th. The House and Senate also worked together to expedite the passage of HB608 which appropriates emergency funds, matched dollar for dollar with private funds, to enable the Queen's Medical Center to operate a kidney and liver transplant center. The bill became law on February 6th. In addition, two measures providing our university system with urgently needed funding were fast tracked and enacted. Senate Bill (SB) 239 continues the funding of the John A. Burns School of Medicine with a portion of the Hawaii tobacco settlement special fund.
