Introductions were made.

Bob Anderson from the Aiea Neighborhood Board sees the potential to draw

people to the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail.  He would like to bring the Iwo

Jima Memorial replication to the Pearl Harbor area.  The statue will be

casted from a national organization.  There is one in DC and 4 or 5 more

around the country.  The community can decide on the inscription to be

placed on the memorial.  Bob was given Sen. Mizuguchib

number and Bob will explore options to see if the memorial could be erected

around the P. H. area.

non-profit organization effective August 23, 1999.  As an organization we

are now able to apply and receive grants. (  #99-0073476)

IV. Aiea Medical Building-The zoning variance for the Aiea Medical Building

ice storage units were denied.  The Off Peak Energy company has 30 days to

appeal.  The company may seek legal action against the city.

V. Aiea Sugar Mill- Possibly 4 lots have been sold, up from 3 lots.  The

status of the library is the same-on hold due to financial constraints with

the state.  Joe Criz, is inquiring to get the Diamond Head portion of the

mill site rezoned as residential.  Bonnie pointed out that it makes no sense

to put the library at the Diamond Head portion of the site because of the

space constraints of the lot with no room to expand.  No word yet from

Councilperson Hannemann to designate the site as a Park with a b

VI. ABC Grant-No word yet if we will be receiving the grant.  Aiea

Intermediate Principal Clarence DeLude has been contacted and may possibly

give the beginnings of a youth center some classroom space.  Board of

Education approval still needed.

VII. Visioning Team- See Agenda

VIII. Aiea Neighborhood Board Meeting- There was no meeting this month.

IX. Membership Drive-  Letitia stated that maybe it would not be a good idea

to send out ACA material home with the students at public schools because

the school and PTA are also trying to gain support or their projects and

causes.

X. General Membership Meeting or October 25, 1999- meeting was announced at

the Aiea vision meeting.

XI. Community outreach-  Bonnie is working on the newsletter and is

patiently waiting for articles.  The PHHT presentation was done at the

Aiea/Pearl City Businessmen Luncheon.  A conflict has been bought out

concerning ACA.  We have been perceived as being anti-business.  Harbor View

Center supports Off Peak Energyb

encroachment.  Harbor Center District is zoned industrial but mixed use with

commercial businesses which is illegal is taking place there.

XII. Web Site Update- Kimberly reported that as long as there is a server,

web page creation should be available through the server.

XIII. New Business- Tracy created a very nice logo with the sugar mill as

the subject

Empower Oahu funds are available.  We need to make a checklist and a needs

assessment.
