No 36 Nānākuli-Māʻili Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting October 2026

The Nānākuli-Māʻili Neighborhood Board No. 36 regular meeting was held October 20, 2026. The main procurement- and infrastructure-related discussion concerned a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and infrastructure project, which a presenter described as involving roughly $2 billion in infrastructure and power facilities. The board adopted a resolution opposing LNG imports and infrastructure in Hawaiʻi until independent review and enforceable safeguards address financial, safety, reliability, health, environmental, cultural, and climate concerns. The resolution also calls for transparent analysis and prioritizing local renewable energy. This was a board position, not a contract award or approval of project spending; no vendor selection or procurement award was reported.

The Board of Water Supply reported that a water-system project was in design and that it was seeking easements; a representative said comparable projects typically take five to seven years, while efforts were underway to advance construction within one to two years. BWS also described work with Hawaiian Electric on power-system resilience for water systems. PVT Landfill presented its annual report and estimated five to seven years of capacity under its existing permit; no action was taken. Other agenda items included emergency and police reports, park closures, homelessness, and community events, with no additional contract awards, bid approvals, or spending motions identified.
