AHU, ELWIN P. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Q1. Initially it should be noted that the Governor's input,authority, responsibility and accountability with

HCDA and the Kaka'ako speeial district has been severely dissolved by the Legislature. However, with that as a context, it is my position that the process used by the current administration and Legislature to change/ amend the policy and land-use regulations of this portion of Kaka'ako this past legislative session was flawed. Any change/ amendment to this portion of Kaka'ako must be done with transparency, eguity and in regards to all interests within this section of Kaka'ako. Accordingly, I will work collaboratively with all stakeholders to assist, as best as I am able to, to achieve the objectives of OHA. Q2.

By building better transparency activities between stakeholders, the Governor's office and the community on current planning efforts and alternative pathways being discussed towards governanee. There is a long journey ahead of us, and we must not only work together in a coordinated effort, but we must trust our work ean speak for all of us. Respect. By acknowledging and responding to community concerns and/or guestions, anel providing open communication venues to foster positive dia-logue-building towards tangible actions and forming consensus. Balance. By developing bridges of understanding and keeping all doors of opportunity open for collaborative work in advancing community needs, in forging essential relationships through shared visioning, and allowing all to participate in future-building initiatives that will impact all of Hawai'i.
