No 07 Mānoa Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting August 2026

The No 07 Mānoa Neighborhood Board held its regular meeting on August 5, 2026, under the City and County Neighborhood Commission Office. The meeting included routine reports from the Fire and Police Departments, focusing on public safety tips and crime statistics. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to discussing the ongoing flooding and stream dredging project in the Mānoa area. Community members expressed concerns about the lack of communication and transparency from city and state agencies regarding the project, potential environmental impacts, and the exclusion of volunteers from assisting with stream cleanup. The board agreed to hold a special meeting to receive detailed information from city and state representatives about the project. Additionally, a motion passed to request that city officials allow local stream conservationists to intervene for 48 hours to protect aquatic species during the dredging. The board also conducted elections for officers and addressed member attendance issues, ultimately retaining all members. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the discussion highlighted community interest in future engagement with city and state agencies on environmental and infrastructure projects.
