V. a.    Aiea Sugar Mill Site-zoned industrial with 14 lots.  Plans for a

road through the site will be

formulated after the majority of lots are sold.  Setbacks are needed.  There

is still no funding to purchase the site or to move the library to the site

or to plan a community town center with a museum, gardens, art & cultural

exchange and a multigenerational/youth center.

We havenb

community wants for the mill site.  Input is needed or we may regret what

does get developed there.  Questions

concerning the cost, status of lots for sale were asked.  It is estimated

that the site would cost

about $8-10 million and there is currently 4 lots in escrow.  The

Neighborhood Board(NB)

favors the library moving to the site.  Discussion also took place

concerning moving the High

School or creating a district park there.

b. Pearl Harbor Historic Trail- currently not very much access to the water.

Aiea/PC vision team would like to develop the historical OR&L former rail

lines and preserve the history of the area.  Open up access to tourist and

residents alike.  Perhaps create educational kiosk along the trail

c. Aiea Gateway Park- Vision project which would mark entrance into

community with lighted signage.

d. Livable Community Plan- Federal grant through the City & County of

Honolulu.  Focus would be on traffic and to increase community businesses.

Wilson Okamoto is the VDAT team. Community meeting to take place in the near

future.  Notification at next ACA meeting.

e. Pab

Kimberly Mills elected project manager.  Fishpond committee volunteers are

Norman Sakamoto, Mac MacClearen, Robyn Blanpied & Claire Tamamoto.

f. Hob

explained the

meaning of Hob

program to pull parents and the community together.  At 11 and 12 years old,

children are deciding what path they will take.  Adults are needed for

guidance and to learn social skills.  The intermediate school students have

shown maturity by helping out with the head start program.  The students

have demonstrated  nurturing abilities to the 3-4 year old head start

children.  Aiea Elementary almost lost the program so it was brought to Aiea

Intermediate.  DeLude sees after school programs and intramurals in our area

as a way to combat deviant behavior, but the problem is transportation to

get and keep these children in programs.  Another idea is to open up schools

on Saturdays and also get students involved with community activities.  Mr.

DeLude also gave an informative historical account of the Pab

and Pearl Harbor as a breadbasket for the King of Maui.

VI. Membership Drive-ACA has 100 members

VII. Newsletter-Available to anyone, contact ACA for copies.

VIII. Open Forum-The demise of the former ACA was brought up.  There is a

fine line not to turn the community against itself and ACA needs to be aware

of that.  Discussion on how to get people to participate took place.

Suggestions were have a social/ entertainment/information value gathering.

Canvassing.  Work with special interest groups and senior activities groups.

Point out how planning is done for communities rather then with communities

and also how people are getting suckered in to things.

IX. Announcements were made and meeting ended at 9:20 PM.
