What's Being Discussed

• Approval of meeting minutes from the previous board meeting held on July 1, 2026.
• Leasing a public property in Kakaʻako: The board will consider whether to allow the Executive Director to publicly advertise a government-owned parcel of land — known as "Block P-2" — located at the corner of Waimanu Street and Kawaiahao Street in Honolulu for a short-term lease. This means the public could be invited to express interest in temporarily renting or using this land.
• Executive Director's monthly report, including an update on recently approved permit applications that did not require a public hearing.

Decisions Expected

• The board is expected to vote on whether to move forward with soliciting public interest in leasing Block P-2 at 955 Waimanu Street / 986 Kawaiahao Street on a short-term basis. This is not a final lease decision — it would simply start the process of seeing who is interested.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Kakaʻako residents and businesses who may be affected by changes to nearby land use.
• Anyone interested in leasing public land in the Kakaʻako neighborhood for a short-term purpose.
• Developers, nonprofits, or community organizations that might want to use a vacant parcel near Waimanu and Kawaiahao Streets.
• General public — this meeting is open to everyone and public testimony is welcome in person, via Zoom, or by phone.

The meeting takes place on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at 9:15 a.m. You can attend in person at 547 Queen Street, 2nd Floor, or join online via Zoom (Webinar ID: 826 3005 2715, Passcode: 553394).
