s e s Aloha Andrew, Please forward this email to Nancy, Darrell, Jonathan, chair and commissioners on our feed back regarding water. As the newly elected/appointed by na kupuna, as the Executive/Project Director for the Waimanalo Ahupuaa Business and Community Association based in Waimanalo, we have concerns below...both myself and representing the fisher people, Mr. Sam Marquez attended the meeting to understand what the water issue was all about and what the DHHL is doing...we met and talked after the meeting and sending in to you our concerns, we want you to make copies and make sure each commissioner has our written input. One observation, there were 15 people from our community who were community people and not staff that came to the meeting...that was a very low number to carry any kind of votes by the commissioners on water and we request that commissioners also attend these meetings...Uncle Joe Tassill did not attend due to being off island...talked with him at the Celebration For Life funeral for the late Kahu Ryan Kalama who passed. The other observation and in our discussion prior to the meeting about the amendments to the HCCA 1920, since 1984...and still have not gotten it when we requested that information more than a year ago. These amendments are important to your plans and our plans for Waimanalo and all homestead lands on all islands. We would like to request again a list of all amendments made during and after 1982...to the present. We have a feeling that these amendments were never passed through the US congress and is illegal until it is passed by all US congressional members as Kuhio had the act set-up so it would not be taken over by third parties, protecting the rights of the people from the time of the kingdom to the present. Objectively, the first main issue is Jurisdiction...and this is where we are stomped...and amazed at how is it that so called stakeholders have the main say in properties that came from the kingdom, to us, via Kuhio and to us, na kanaka Hawaii? Secondly, with the lands came the water so there is no doubt in our minds that WATER must be free to Kanaka Hawaii...anyone who is not tied to third parties or stakeholders...including Hawaiians who work for any State of Hawaii agency, department

• r groups. Jurisdiction dictates that no third parties are allowed, yet they are all over your

paper work and people working within this government...is a conflict of interest...we have to insist on doing things right to manage our lands...it is ass backwards, to put it bluntly as I am told by na kupuna, that night.

Part I. General Trust Management

Goal 1. Develop and manage a Water Assets Inventory (WAI)

Reason for goal: DHHL’s water assets are a significant part of the trust corpus but there is no centralized system of inventory. Description: DHHL shall create a WAI as central repository of water information for the Trust. WAI elements shall be geographically linked where possible, and include but not be limited to:

• Place names and traditional knowledge related to water
• DHHL owned water infrastructure (e.g. wells, pipes, storage), including any agreements related to them
• Current and future water demand
• Water agreements
• Water Credits
• Potential water sources, including old plantation systems, waste water, and other alternate sources

# Implementation Action(s) Cost / resource estimate Island(s) Target date Lead Division a. Continue implementation of contract to inventory basic DHHL water infrastructure All 2015 LDD b. Develop a scope of work to expand from the initial inventory to encompass other WAI elements TBD All 2014 PO c. Develop a training program so that information in the WAI shall be affirmatively made available to staff and the HHC. TBD All 2015 TBD
