Urging Kamehameha Schools / Bishop Estate To Prioritize Communication And Transparency With The Hawaii Kai Community Amid Lease Expirations Of Prominent Neighborhood Assets And Maintain The Status Quo In Future Land Use Decisions.
Impact
The resolution outlines key concerns regarding the future of community assets that are at risk due to lease expirations. For instance, it addresses the situation of local farmers whose leases in Kamilonui Valley will end in July 2025, and who are already facing financial challenges exacerbated by fines related to environmental compliance. Moreover, the potential loss of facilities like the Japan-America Institute of Management Science raises issues for local communities regarding access and regional aesthetics.
Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 165 (HCR165) urges Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate (KSBE) to enhance communication and transparency with the Hawaii Kai community, specifically concerning the impending expiration of several property leases. The resolution highlights the historical significance of Hawaii Kai as a well-planned community and emphasizes the importance of maintaining ongoing dialogue between KSBE and local residents. As KSBE holds a substantial amount of land in the region, the outcomes of these lease expirations have direct implications for the community's resources and landscape.
Conclusion
By passing HCR165, the legislature seeks to address these tensions by encouraging KSBE to prioritize transparency and inclusiveness in their communications with the Hawaii Kai community. The resolution signals a clear expectation for KSBE to take community concerns seriously and involves stakeholders in planning processes that directly affect their lives, helping to foster a more collaborative future.
Contention
A notable point of contention within HCR165 is the call for KSBE to maintain the status quo in future land use decisions, which seeks to minimize disruptions within the community. It reflects the community's desire for KSBE to consider local input and sentiments fully while planning any future developments. There seems to be a growing frustration among residents regarding the perceived lack of transparency from KSBE in their management decisions, leading to a sense of exclusion from crucial discussions that affect their neighborhood.
