What's Being Discussed

Meeting minutes: The board will review and approve the minutes from their September 2, 2026 meeting.
Updating old rules for community improvement funding: The board will consider replacing a set of administrative rules from 1984 that govern how money is collected and spent on improvements within HCDA districts. The goal is to repeal the outdated rules and create new ones, with public hearings held as part of that process.
Construction contract for a food processing facility: The board will consider taking over a construction contract for a High-Pressure Processing Facility at the Central Oahu Agriculture and Food Hub in Whitmore Village, Wahiawa. This facility is part of a state-funded agriculture initiative under Act 252 (2025).
Project and financial updates: Staff will provide status updates on several ongoing projects, including Waikiki Beach Sand Stabilization, the Central Oahu Agriculture and Food Hub, a Mobile Travel Workshop, and a Summer Streets Program. Financial highlights for August–September 2026 will also be shared.

Decisions Expected

A vote on whether to begin the formal process of rewriting the District-Wide Improvement Program rules, including holding public hearings.
A vote on whether to accept the transfer of a construction contract for the Wahiawa food processing facility from the Agribusiness Development Corporation.
