No 06 Pālolo Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting September 2026

The Pālolo Neighborhood Board held a regular meeting on September 10, 2026, focusing primarily on community infrastructure and environmental resilience following recent hurricane impacts. Key procurement-related discussions included updates from the Honolulu Board of Water Supply on completed water main installations and ongoing water quality testing, with emphasis on maintaining reservoir pressure during emergencies. The board also received a presentation on a rainwater assessment and capture program funded by a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant, which includes plans to install up to 500 rain barrels to improve stormwater management and aquifer recharge. Additionally, there was discussion about potential funding and facility improvements for resilience hubs, including the possibility of renovating the underutilized Pālolo Gym to serve as a community emergency shelter, with references to an $18 million city and county grant supporting such hubs. The meeting concluded with community updates and announcements, but no formal votes or contract awards were recorded due to lack of quorum.
