No 27 North Shore Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting June 2026

The No 27 North Shore Neighborhood Board held a regular meeting on June 25, 2026, focusing on community safety, environmental concerns, and local infrastructure issues. Key procurement-related discussions included budget allocations for capital improvement projects such as $1.5 million for the city's cost share of the Army Corps of Engineers' Ka'a'awa Bay watershed study, $250,000 for planning and design of the Waialua fire station replacement, and $800,000 for planning and design of the Haleiwa Beach Park Canoe Halau. The board unanimously passed a motion to support updating the 2018 Ka Ioka Bay watershed plan, including hydrology studies and flood mitigation solutions, with funding requested from the city council and contracts proposed with the University of Hawaii and other contractors. Additionally, there was discussion about park closure hours and enforcement, with emphasis on social services outreach and consistent signage. The meeting also addressed concerns about stream maintenance, dredging plans, and the need for enforcement of landowner responsibilities to prevent flooding. The board agreed to transition to a hybrid meeting format to improve community participation. Several community members and officials provided updates on ongoing projects and expressed the need for coordinated efforts in environmental management and public safety.
