Good morning, everyone.

Will the committee on executive management come to order?

Present today are myself, Vice Chair Nishimoto, Councilmembers Kia Aina, and Councilmember Okamoro.

Good morning and welcome.

Thank you for being here.

Although remote oral testimony is being permitted, this is a regular in-person meeting and not a remote meeting by interactive conference technology under HRS section 92-3.7.

Therefore, the meeting will continue, notwithstanding loss of audiovisual communication with remote testifiers or loss of the public broadcast of the meeting.

Members of the public will be allowed to provide oral testimony on all items on the agenda in person in the council chamber and remotely when each agenda item is taken up.

As both English and Hawaiian are official languages of the state of Hawaii, pursuant to Article 15, Section 4 of the Hawaii State Constitution and Section 1-13 of the Hawaii revised statutes, members of the public may testify in either language.

For oral testimonies offered in Olelo, Hawaii, additional time as may be necessary, will be allowed for either testifier to provide an English translation of their testimony.

Before testifying, each person shall state their name.

Each speaker may not have anyone else read their statement and is limited to a one-minute presentation on each item.

Once in-person testimony has concluded, I will proceed to those who have registered to testify remotely by video conference.

Please monitor your screen and activate your audio feed when prompted.

I will then give persons who have not registered an opportunity to offer testimony.

Please utilize the raise hand feature in the Zoom to be called on.

For those joining us by telephone only, please press star nine to indicate your desire to speak.

I will identify you by the last three digits of your phone number.

When your number is called, please press star six to unmute yourself when prompted.

Some friendly reminders and tips.

Video conference from a quiet location, if possible.

If you're also watching the proceeding on OLELO, please mute your television at the time you are called to testify.

When the time on the screen reaches zero, please conclude your remarks promptly.

Written testimonies, including the testifiers' address, email address, and phone number will be available to the public as described on the posted agenda.

As a courtesy, please turn off all cell phones.

Turning to our agenda members, we are on item number one, an update from the administration on the current recovery efforts related to the island wide impacts of the Conalos storms.

Total of 236 people were rescued, 10 people were hospitalized, 72 people and two dogs.

I didn't know that.

Two dogs were rescued via airlift.

Evacuation order was ordered for 5,500 residents in Wayalua and Hale Ifa.

And four to five thousand people were at possible risk from a dam failure.

And as we know, um and one of the things why we want to talk about item number two, especially is at 8 25 p.m.

Kao Konahua stream gauge surged two feet in two hours, a key warning sign.

Um we talked about this, I believe, yesterday in Matt Wire's committee about what we could do for the streams, and this is just a follow-up on that.

So we do have from the administration, I believe Roger Babcock from the direct director of the Department of Environmental Services, Andrew Kawano, Director of the Department of Budget and Fiscal Services, and Dr.

Randall Collins, Director of the Department of Emergency Management.

I also see the uh deputy managing director.

Aloha, welcome.

Please proceed.

Good morning, Chair Waters.

Good morning, Council members.

Uh Christian Jaram, Deputy Managing Director.

Chair Waters, I want to thank you for making this uh presentation possible.

We do agree that it's important for the city to update uh to city council and the public on a regular clip on our recovery efforts.

Um per our discussions with your staff, the sequence will be having Dr.

Babcock speak about debris management first, then we'll have Director Kalana speak about the financial impact to the city, and we'll end with Director Collins talking about the recovery process stretching into the future.

Um before I turn things over to Director Babcock.

There's going to be a slide in in Director Collins' effort where or in Dr.

Collins' slide deck where it speaks about how local government is the lead on recovery, and that we carry the weight of that responsibility.

And I just want to assure the city council that we take that responsibility very seriously.

Every department remains engaged.

And while we don't know everything yet about the recovery process, we intend to do this to the best of ability.

So thank you, and I'll turn it over to Dr.

Babcock at this time.

Thank you so much.

Good morning, and welcome Dr.

Ravcock.

Good morning.

So there are some slides that uh like to also welcome Councilmember Del Santos Town.

Good morning.
