No 02 Kuli'ou'ou-Kalani Iki Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting October 2026

The Kuli'ou'ou–Kalani Iki Neighborhood Board regular meeting was held October 8, 2026. The board discussed developing a resolution on HECO’s reliability and infrastructure, including transmission-line redundancy, battery storage, tree trimming, outage communications, and assistance for medically vulnerable residents. Members raised options including independent financial review, limits on rate increases pending more information, and public ownership; the chair said a draft could be considered at a future meeting, but no resolution or spending action was approved. Council Chair Tommy Waters also reported that a park play-apparatus project was nearly complete and proposed publishing schedules for park-court resurfacing.

Procurement-related discussion included a resident’s request for public information on bids, the current contractor, and the contract for landscaping on Kalanianaole Highway; the resident offered to review the documents, but no board action or contract decision followed. The governor’s representative reported that NOAA’s printing budget for fish guides was exhausted, while community fundraising could pay for additional copies for free distribution under stated restrictions. The board approved the August and September meeting minutes as corrected. No contract awards, bid approvals, or procurement spending votes were identified.
