kauai obituaries july 2020 19 3407 . voting record of . Visitors learn about the inequities of our food systems and are encouraged to support local restaurants that use local ingredients. I absolutely support what the people are calling for and that is a stop to unmanageable expansion that will likely only worsen the overtourism were already face. If elected, as the legislative body for our county, our impact on infrastructure projects is to make sure they are funded to be able to accomplish the job. In 2002/2010 he represented Kauai and Niihau in the Hawaii State Senate (2002/2010) where he served as Majority Leader. My strength as a detailed, numbers guy fighting for our citizens hard-earned tax dollars is needed now more than ever. In line with these five general principles, Ive introduced or co-introduced the following legislation over the last two years: Eliminate all fees for affordable accessory residential units (ARUs); Provide Kauai homeowners with free septic systems; Prohibit community covenants from restricting against additional units and long-term rentals; Allow the construction of ARUs in the Lihue town core; Reduce the building code requirements for tiny houses; Eliminate minimum lot size restrictions for multi-family homes; Allocate 2% of real property tax revenue annually toward affordable housing (still in process); Incentivize residential space on top of commercial space through tax exemptions; Create a tiered tax structure to allow us to increase tax rates on high-value vacant houses and vacation rentals to fund affordable housing and incentivize those units to convert to long-term rentals (still in process); Increase the vacation rental property tax rate to disincentivize vacation rentals and apply nearly all of the money raised to affordable housing (measure failed). QUESTION #4How would you effectively manage the County Budget and operations for the short term and long-term sustainability? Our landfill is depleting and we need to have a program established. Heres some of the specific tools and policies we are using, as well as what we need to use and will likely use. Any additional density on agricultural land (like the constant push to allow ADUs on ag land) increases the value of agricultural land, increases the likelihood of non-farm development of that ag land, and makes it less likely that a farmer can pay off a loan or mortgage on the property. euclid city council election results. I would help with any kind of communication that I can do as a county council member. The Kauai DMAP outlines specific action steps that I believe need to be executed immediately. The average property tax rate in the US for resident occupied homes is $12.40 per $1k assessed value. If we could agree that the long-term goal is sustainability then we would need to work backwards to see how we can begin making moves in the short term to move us in that direction. Making sure all communities from Kekaha to Haena including Niihau is treated fairly and equitable in receiving funding towards projects. And, by pursuing these, we can also save taxpayers money and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Allowing rapid development of new visitor and investment luxury housing currently underway is in direct conflict with our priorities. What qualifies me most is the genuine concern I have for Kaua`i and Ni`ihau and my commitment to making a difference! Also working with DHHL to revitalize their Ag lands in Anahola is on my agenda. The County Councils biggest responsibility is balancing the county budget every year. Theres a lot of great aspirational policies in the DMAP that require strong private, non-profit, and state partnerships. The candidates for the Kaua'i County Council include, at top from left, the Rev. I would agree with the DMAP in education for tourist coming to the island they should learn all the rules and laws of the island and they should respect the local people and their lifestyle. Every time I go to these recycling locations I see trash bags and random items in the bins and my gut feeling is that no one is separating this at the main station so therefore it must be going to the landfill. I am great with budgeting in my personal life and household and know how to live within our means. Making plots available at all our County housing projects for vegetable gardens; these could be the training grounds for future vegetable farmers. The recycling centers have turned into some of the dirtiest places in each town. The following came from Ross Kagawa, candidate for Kauai County Council. Batteries and hydraulic fluid will be removed next and work will continue today, according to the Save Honolua Coalition, which is operated by John Carty and Maui County Council Member Tamara Paltin, whose residency seat covers West Maui.

These successes result from partnering with the State & developers, tax credits, fast-track permitting, a streamlined regulatory process and/or having available funding. He oversees the company's four business units, as well as its functions for technology . I have over thirty years experience working and volunteering in Government, Labor Unions, Non-Profits and Community Organizations. There was a net increase of 133 TVRs on Kauai in 2022. You cant take a risk on starting a business if you cant afford rent. Kauai Community College could be a valuable partner in this effort. This also makes us more resilient to climate disasters elsewhere. The budget is our main responsibility and balancing and or cutting the budget to ensure all areas of our counties responsibilities are met. I dont want more expansion for more flights. While it may have been necessary to get us out of the deferred maintenance hole, the excise tax is a regressive tax that especially impacts low income folks. My lifelong experiences as a community organizer for economic and social justice has taught me how to work effectively with many different organizations and people. To do this I will support efforts to expand local food production, processing facilities and infrastructure and work with community organizations to address needs to assist with marketing and distribution of local food while we also work to support current and next generation farmers. The problems we face are graver than ever, but I am confident that we have the tools as a county to reduce the cost of housing while transitioning to a zero carbon economy and to do it all while improving our quality of life and strengthening our communities. While we have to blaze forward on solutions to our pressing problems, I remain committed to working with stakeholders to the greatest extent possible before introducing legislation that could impact them. While I anticipate that KIUC will get to 100% renewable far ahead of schedule, we need to fully decarbonize ground transportation and do all we can to reduce emissions from our landfill. I lived in Germany as an exchange student where 20 years ago recycling is something everyone just does. The top two objectives that I work on daily are the focus on creating positive contributions to the quality of life for Kauai residents and supporting the maintenance, enhancement, and protection of Kauais natural resources. Evolving environmental regulations have eliminated any new location to be an appropriate site for our next landfill. Kauai County has a mayor-council form of municipal government. With permitted worker housing on farms, the likelihood of economic productivity is strengthened. We must also support our County working in partnership with private entities wherever possible and proposing new residential developments in Lihu`e in order to take advantage of that treatment plants significant excess capacity. If elected I hope to spend the time as a council member moving the island toward economic sustainability, revitalizing the county parks and the county sponsored sport leagues and work on solutions that will help local people find housing. The main pressure is on housing costs. Increases in passengers at this time I believe will stress our infrastructure and resources and negatively impact communities. These properties are not easily transformed into living units without kitchens, particularly with air conditioning failure. After the second presentation on May 17, I appreciate the 4 different alternatives for solutions to improving our Lhue Airport. Early engagement with stakeholder groups is step one of effective policy development, in my view. QUESTION #12As a member of the County Council, what steps would you take to mitigate the impacts of climate change on Kaua`i? Council is currently contemplating taxation policies that are punitive in nature. 1) We need to build more homes in and around our existing towns. For many, the barrier to converting to an EV is access to charging stations. The pandemic has made us realize how important these animals can play in our survival. We are clearly over capacity for tourism and our General Plan contains bold language on the need to keep visitor arrivals at reasonable levels. So must we! These problems are going to escalate with the unchecked growth of the vegetation and greater concentrations of rainfall. Maintaining or marginally reducing visitor numbers to a sustainable level (23,000-25,000) will be much harder if our airport is built out to accommodate more arrivals. The focus will be on efficiency and accountability, so that any new system that is created doesnt cost our community more than it should. And, of course, I really appreciate all of you being willing to engage with us when we reach out to you! The mayors administration is responsible for applying for these typically competitive Federal grants. We also passed a bill I co-sponsored with Councilmember Evslin supporting tiny houses; legalizing sleeping lofts, lowering ceiling heights & allowing for stairs and ladders designed for small spaces. Keiko Bonk, county council member Robert Bunda, senate president John A. Burns, US Congress delegate, governor C [ edit] Romeo Munoz Cachola, city council member George R. Carter, governor Edward Espenett Case, US Congress Campbell Cavasso, legislator Benjamin J. Cayetano, governor, lt. governor Charles Spencer Crane, mayor of Honolulu We must ensure it meets the highest and best environmental standards and we do everything we can to mitigate impact to surrounding communities and the environment. LIHU'E In a procedure unique among Hawai'i counties, Kaua'i County councilmembers unanimously voted Wednesday to approve raises that will likely affect some of their own salaries. LIHU'E A resolution set to go before County Council Wednesday would increase the maximum salaries of the mayor,. Make the rentals of bikes affordable to our visitors weekly rates. They have a great start with the community partnerships. If Im not mistaken, I believe this position of parity on real property taxes has been one supported by the Hawai`i Lodging & Tourism Association (HLTA) and Im thinking of the Kaua`i Chamber also. At this point we need to look at what resources we have and start creatively using them and also look at what we dont have and create it to meet our needs while simultaneously planning on a way to make money from outsiders. I would like to hold a town hall meeting specifically for business owners and allow the people to voice their concerns, solutions and ideas to us so that we can go to work on what specifics our community needs. The rising seas and flooding require us to look at limiting and even restricting any further structures being built along our shorelines and along our rivers. As they describe, the surge in retiring baby boomers at a time of slowing population growth means that the ratio of retirees to active workers continues to skew towards increasing numbers of retirees relative to active workers. Please let me know if there are any other questions you have and I look forward to hearing from you soon. There is no need to have a residential rate, then a vacation rental rate and then a hotel and resort rate. We are only a few years away from our landfill life cycle. Kiewit and Mcubbins (2014) refer to this as the fiscal ice age. I do not support a Lhue Master Plan that does not consider the increased effects on our entire island infrastructure with increased capacity. This will enable local families to better provide for their extended families and create resilience for the ongoing economic challenges. Executive authority is vested in the Mayor of Kauai, elected by the voters on a nonpartisan basis to a four-year term. The County needs to help fill this void by requiring that a certain percentage of parking stalls in new commercial and multi-family construction be EV-ready (meaning that it has the conduit and receptacle in place for an EV-charger, without having to rip up the parking lot in the future), we need to help reimburse property owners for installing EV chargers, and we need to facilitate access to the $16M in Federal EV infrastructure money getting funneled through the State. We need policies that limit these large developments until there is a solution planned for our landfill. The DMAP Plan goal is to rebuild, redefine and reset the direction of tourism over a three-year period. Similar numbers transitioned into the vacation rental tax class in 2021 and 2020. Support the maintenance, enhancement, and protection of Kauais natural resources. Tax rates for the Vacation Rental tax class is currently$9.85 per thousand in value as compared to the Hotel/Resort tax class at $10.85 per thousand in value.

Our keiki, sustainability and housing are where I plan to spend my time and climate change is not at the top of my list for a two year term. We have so much to be thankful for and it is our responsibility as leaders in our island community to take care of our people, and our natural resources and to provide every opportunity for our families to live, work and to enjoy life. Supporting our local working class now is essential. I need to be briefed on the current details and studies of the sites being considered now that Kalepa (the previous choice) has been denied. 3) We need to continually strive to make it easier for families to add on additional units (ARUs or ADUs) for their parents, children or long-term renters. Its important to note that this will require coordination with our state and federal representatives, and Im happy to work with our legislative team and do the work necessary to secure these funds for Kauai. In the interim, tourists would be housed in hotels where they could move about the grounds . Collaborating for Community Solutions Working with both Public & Private Partners to develop and implement forward-thinking solutions to longstanding challenges like Climate Change, Drug Abuse, Food Insecurity, Homelessness, Teen Suicide, Traffic Congestion and more. Offering a more permanent 2% revenue stream into the Housing Revolving Fund to the voters through a ballot initiative is an imperfect measure that I will support. Our County Planners are gathering critical public input in order to draft our first Kauai Climate Change Adaptation Plan which will guide development, natural resource protection and community resilience in the face of climate change-related impacts. Kauai County Council Candidates Below are the candidates that responded to our survey. In council, I do my best to offer these perspectives of balance in our conversations that most often do not make it into the articles of the reporters. Kauai Councilmember Luke Evslin to fill empty, Three from Kauai nominated to fill Hawaii House, Luke Evslin of Kauai sworn into Hawaii House of, No Changes to General Election Ballot Following, Public invited to attend inauguration of Kaua'i, who is now a member of the Hawaii House of Representatives, build a hotel at the site of the former Coco Palms resort. Keeping all taxpayers in mind when making decisions that uses everyones tax dollar. Resorts have a more enduring impact. Industrial food systems are energy-intensive and fossil-fuel based. But, for the reasons stated I think its the right decision. Forcing luxury homes into sales is not likely to achieve the goal of transforming a property into a home for our existing working population. From a zoning perspective, we also need to reduce the demand for developing on agricultural land. HONOLULU - United States District Judge Derrick K. Watson sentenced Arthur Brun, age 50, a former member of the Kauai County Council, yesterday to serve 20 years in federal prison for drug trafficking, assault of a federal law enforcement officer, witness tampering, evidence tampering, and firearm offenses. I hope we can invent a noiseless hybrid type of airplane in the future. I will be responsible about how we move forward with our operations as well, ensuring we are planning for the long term but ensuring we meet our short-term needs. I support the improvements to terminal holdroom, public and employee parking expansion and the ticket lobby improvement project if they are to accommodate existing passenger numbers and not increase them. Advising nonprofits, campaigns, and mission-driven businesses on strategic communications, digital advocacy, cause marketing, and partnership development. We are absolutely called to action because of the science and data that tells us that extreme weather events will only get stronger and more frequent. We need to do all we can to encourage housing development within our existing towns. I would start by looking at these areas and figuring out where the County is best suited to be able to help and how. The nurturing of small-scale farms, promoting crop diversity, and encouraging stronger public/private partnerships is very important for agriculture. I understand we have the lowest property tax rates in Hawaii, and the entire nation. Kauai Real Estate, Huge Traffic Delays, Snorkelers Rescued Off Lawai Beach, Kauai Council Member Sentenced, May 31, 2022; . The other candidates for seven positions are Addison Bulosan, Bernard Carvalho, Felicia Cowden, Billy DeCosta,. I believe this would be a similar process that can be accomplished! The best way to provide economic diversification would be to develop some sectors by itself and provide the enabling environment so that others can participate. Kauai lost its most popular County Council member on Wednesday when Luke Evslin resigned to accept Gov. I will continue to push for audits so we can identify areas that we can improve and sustain our services to the communities. Establishing a carrying capacity and limiting arrivals for Kauai is critical to retaining our quality of life, environment and extending the operation of our infrastructure. They are: Better management and enforcement of laws that protect Kauais natural resources Management of the number of visitors Education of visitors and residents Transportation issues and infrastructure Two-way communication and industry collaboration Support for local businesses. We are maxed out with tourists and vehicles as it is, what we do need is a safe, fluid and comfortable airport. I envision reversing our current status quo to where 80% of our food comes from Kauai rather than imported. Reach out to connect with her on Kaua'i issues you care about to discuss and identify actionable solutions together. As a computer programmer I always had to solve problems. We need to burn all inflammable waste. Transient Vacation Units have more acute impacts on the neighborhoods in the surrounding areas on the quality of life and potential availability of housing. Our County received a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Grant for $13.8 million to transform and construct our roadways, walking and biking paths in our downtown core of Lihue. Private partnerships may be required, such as small scale anaerobic digesters under consideration. I know that that could not have been easy to do, and I applaud his efforts to reduce the spread of COVID. I plan to work further with Councilmember Evslin & others on bills that take advantage of innovations and new technologies. But some do like longtime Kauai politician Ross Kagawa, who has been chosen to fill a vacancy on the Kauai County Council. Another important goal is to develop plans and continue to build capacity for economic development of the six target industry clusters with strategies of 1) increase collaboration, 2) support economic innovation and digitization for all businesses, 3) develop infrastructure; and, 4) support the development of new businesses and markets for a diversity of products derived from agricultural and technological activity. I believe that my life experience, education and passion will benefit Kauai and I will be a strong voice for our community. Ive also demonstrated my dedication to public service, my legislative policy experience, my strength with budgeting, my understanding of the issues and my commitment to always doing my homework, listening carefully and working collaboratively. As a Council Member I would be committed to addressing these things. To be fair to everyone and with the county I would support a Tax. We established a monthly Downtown Lhue Night Market that brings local vendors and drives local buyers together. Acompanhe-nos: bonsall oaks development Facebook. Unfortunately, the plan does not consider the unintended consequences of increasing flight capacity. Our island does not need a facility to receive more visitors. An effective tax rate for these homes can incentivize them to convert to resident housing and help fund the construction of affordable housing. In order to empower our community to practice waste diversion practices we must establish a recycling program and a Materials Recovery Facility. Waste to energy is a clean and safe way to get rid of our trash and create energy. Regenerative tourism focuses on the supply-side, host communities and ecosystems, rather than just the visitors needs and wants of the market-demand approach. The tax could be on a scale depending on location, the type of building being purchased and how many purchases this buyer has made. #2 Vacation rentals take away resident occupied housing and increase the cost of housing island wide. I envision Kauai operating as a large-scale homestead. For example, the State DOT received in the range of $16M for electric vehicle charging infrastructure statewide from the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Anything we can do to incentivize home construction within and directly adjacent to our existing towns will help alleviate this pressure on our agricultural land. This will defiantly make a big impact in our agricultural community by providing more opportunity for growing our own food, marketing and providing educational opportunities for our young farmers. We need to expand composting capacity, create diversion incentives for generators of commercial green waste and food, and address residential green waste and food waste which make up 28% of landfilled waste. I have been an advocate for social and environmental justice my entire life. And by doing so, we can also keep money in our local economy and save residents money. State of Hawaii DLNR SHPD Kauai/Niihau Burial Council . My top priorities are affordable housing, and recycling. I am blessed with the ability to be your full-time council member without the competition of an outside job or a personal business to run. Voters on Kauai also sorted through more than two dozen candidates to elect members to the seven-seat County Council. While I support Policy D.4, in recognizing that zoning is a critical aspect of regulating vacation rentals, admittedly I wish there was a stronger policy on vacation rentals. I would prioritize projects and tackle projects one at a time. I would work with our State and Federal counterparts to secure adequate funding for our County. Contact Information 4396 Rice Street, Suite 209 Lihue, Hawaii 96766. Addressing deferred maintenance on infrastructure is money well invested. This is relatively close to DMAP policy A.2, the Universal Fee Model. In addition to agriculture, I will investigate ways to support small businesses and work with local business associations to address their needs where able. I also want to dive into the things holding approved projects up and work with County departments to understand and address the ways things can be improved and streamlined. By increasing rates closer to US continental rates, we make it less attractive for offshore buyers to buy property in Hawaii and run TVRs. These products can be made a certified community kitchens in partnership with our local slaughter houses. Students can become entrepreneurs and also work for somebody. I am committed to having discussions in the open so that the public is aware of what is happening. In that same Tax Review commission memo, the chair of the commission writes that Adjusting RPT rates to capture more revenue from high-value houses and non-resident owners can produce tens of millions more dollars per year that counties can use for growing needs. Raising the vacation rental rate by $1 to equal the resort rate will raise $4.5M which can be used for much needed affordable housing projects in Waimea, Lima Ola, Kilauea, and elsewhere. Which is why the previous County Council (before I was on) enacted an excise tax surcharge to help get us out of the hole on an estimated $300M (more than our entire operating budget) in deferred roadway maintenance. We need to hear from our farmers and ranchers to develop best policies. When you account for the cost of gasoline on an average commute and the cost of maintenance, many electric vehicles are already cheaper to own and operate than their fossil fuel counterparts. I will be responsible in how I manage our county budget and operations. 5. We absolutely need to do all that we can collectively to address our housing shortage disaster! Working with the State to ensure irrigation water is available to all prime and potential agricultural lands. I do not agree with discussions that occur off-line. Homestead small farms with an allowance for small farm worker housing has been the evident need for decades. Getting together with the State to support (perhaps w/ land & water) the establishment of agricultural community villages for our homeless interested in growing food for their own survival for starters. Yes, we need to give incentives to individuals who see individuals breaking the law. I will work with the Department of Public Works, and other departments, to understand the ways that the council can ensure funding and needs are met for planned infrastructure projects to move them forward in a timely manner. Action items D, focus policies that address over-tourism by managing people while on Kauai and E, encourage low-impact green rides to improve the visitor experience, reduce island traffic, increase small business opportunities, and meet climate action goalsare among the more motivating for me. We guide food tours in town core centers, bringing visitors to locally owned restaurants and chefs that utilize local ingredients. Although Kauai Now encourages respectful communication only, some content may be considered offensive. August 13, 2022 (Primary) Kauai. We are currently working on three major housing projects and recently just completed two. I am passionate about our county developing a flourishing agricultural industry that provides employment in food production, processing and distribution, and that pays living wages. Both our traditional Hawaiian people and later the plantations had strong, holistic (ahupua`a) land management practices that have been abandoned over the past 30-60 years. Read more Mahalo for reading. I was born and raised on Kauai. Mahalo to the Kauai Chamber for all the work that you do for our island home, and I look forward to serving a second term as a member of the Kauai County Council where I will continue to be a bridge and connect government to the people.
