 Minutes from last meeting

 TOPICS OF DISCUSSION

1)      Review possible purchase of the 21 acre Keones parcel owned by Richard and Melinda Bigelow.  Do we still want to buy?  What will we offer?  Where will the funds come from?

2)      Review our application to the Legacy Lands Program.  What was lacking?  How can we improve our chances in the future? 

3)      Diana Northup is sending a “mini” presentation of her work with Penny Boston  on their recent microbiology work in the system.  Fred Stone is presenting this.

4)      Discuss the litter problem at Oles Puka.  Neighbors continue to use it for convenient trash disposal.  I’m thinking that we need “NO DUMPING” signs.

5)      Discuss a restoration project on the two lots that we own in Kula Kai.  I have already removed the Christmas Berry trees that were growing there.  We also have some problems with Lantana and Pluchea.  Several Ohia trunks were pushed over by the bulldozers when the built the road, and a number of large boulders also rolled out onto the pahoe`hoe from the road grade.  All on all, it makes for an unsightly mess.  Would be good to remove most of this stuff and restore the land to a more natural setting.

6)      Discuss a project lead by Fred Stone in the Pahoa Caves of Puna District.

7)      Kahuku Ka'u (makai) parcel proposal to the County open space program.   Fred

8)     Report of membership drive initiated by Emily and Mike.

9)     Elections 2010.

10)   Request for a lifetime membership.  How do we respond?
