# No 23 ʻEwa Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting November 2026

The No. 23 ʻEwa Neighborhood Board regular meeting was held November 13, 2026. No contract awards, bids, procurement votes, or spending approvals were identified. Procurement- and infrastructure-related discussion included the City’s Grow for Green organics program, which is expanding green-cart collection to food scraps; the collection schedule will remain every other week, and no fines apply for misuse. The board also discussed a proposed $145 million desalination plant and concerns about how its water supply could affect ʻEwa, but no decision was made. Gentry Homes reported that its school-related land dedication and easements are under legal review and that the project had to be resubmitted through the City’s H&L Build system; the developer continues to target completion in August 2028, with no revised processing timeline available.

Board members pressed the Navy for details on the West Loch ammunition-storage project and associated bypass road, including road design, sidewalks, barriers, safety, and effects on nearby homes. The Navy representative said the team was preparing answers, and the board requested follow-up at its December 10 military affairs committee meeting. Other infrastructure matters included a request for a transportation-agency update on a roughly $50 million project, a City review of a proposed flashing crosswalk with findings expected by April 2027, and discussion of a possible additional ʻEwa recreation center. These were inquiries or proposals; no funding or procurement action was taken. The board also elected an at-large member, which was unrelated to procurement.
