No 32 Waimānalo Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting November 2026

The Waimānalo Neighborhood Board regular meeting was held November 10, 2026. The board initially lacked a quorum, so it deferred filling a board vacancy and did not take formal action on procurement matters. City and county updates covered several infrastructure projects: the Waimānalo Beach Park project is ongoing, with construction expected to proceed soon; Heihimanu Street speed bumps are being handled under a master agreement with a contractor using designs prepared by the Department of Transportation Services; and flood-control improvements near Kīhi Manu Street are in planning and design, with bidding not anticipated until 2028. The meeting also heard that school facility projects—including a baseball field, football field, and girls’ athletic locker room—are at design or planning stages, with legislative funding being pursued for the football-field project. No contract awards or bid approvals were reported.

An East Oʻahu community network described a potential resilience-hub initiative, noting that qualifying neighborhood boards and nonprofit organizations may request grants of up to $2 million; Waimānalo has not yet committed to or received such funding, and the board planned to revisit the proposal in January. The council member also reported that a city resolution urging the return of lands at Bellows Air Force Station had passed earlier in November, but this was not a procurement decision. Other reports included park-ranger staffing funded first with COVID-related funds and later general funds, school vandalism damages estimated at more than $6,000, and community requests concerning park maintenance and facilities.
