# Responses Date

1 There is no real transparency here. What really is the real reason for the designation? It does not appear this newdesignation will increase agricultural production in Hawaii for independent sustainability.

1/26/2017 12:12 PM

2 Why did this process take so long (38 years)? 1/26/2017 12:11 PM

3 Will IAL protect AG land from "gentlemen" land use? 1/26/2017 12:10 PM

4 I will go to website for information. Need to speak into microphone. 1/26/2017 12:10 PM

5 Importance of IAL designation from what already exists. 1/26/2017 12:09 PM

6 Why would the State not designate Hoopili and Koa Ridge as IAL? Do they not have the power to pre-empt countydecisions?

1/26/2017 12:06 PM

7 What does the State and or City get out of owners becoming or joining IAL? This question keeps being thrown backand forth but never answered.

1/26/2017 12:05 PM

8 I agree with the passionate, local and verbal attendance. Hoopili should have been included as IAL, and Koa Ridgetoo. I hope the state/powers that act, can enact this.

1/26/2017 12:05 PM

9 1. Use of State and Federal land for agriculture? 2. Impact of agricultural production outside of the designated aglands. 3. Impact of backyard agriculture and urban agriculture in the future. 4. What about lands without good watersupply? 5. Why is so much of this land fallow for so long? Could there be other issues/impediments?

1/26/2017 12:04 PM

10 Government corruption is clear! 1/26/2017 12:02 PM

11 Why IAL designation (as first suggested by the Constitutional amendment) was even an issue that came up. Becauseif enforcement of existing rules and regulations (like actually farming your AG land if you have a house on it) wasdone, IAL probably wouldn't be needed. I farm my land, when many other "gentlemen farmers" don't, It seems we areignoring enforcement and just adding bureaucracy. Large corporations and landowners such as Castle and Cooke etc,are the only ones on the IAL (least at present) that I can tell. I hardly make any money and just farm for myself andfriends. So tax incentives are not going to help me. What I need is access to farming machinery on a rental/loan basis,training to run it, etc. I am a woman farmer.

1/26/2017 12:01 PM

12 I would have liked to hear more of what the public's concerns were. I was not interested in all the informationpresented. Why has it come down to this?

1/26/2017 12:00 PM

13 This process should have been done prior to the Hoopili issue. Shame on the City government. 1/26/2017 11:58 AM

14 Why IAL is so important to the State 1/26/2017 11:57 AM

15 No trust that the official will protect the land. 1/26/2017 11:57 AM

1 The county needs to address individual land owners, not through open forums. 1/26/2017 12:12 PM

2 Ewa Village. What's going to happen to urban land in Ewa Village? 1/26/2017 12:07 PM

3 What if I can no longer farm or can't lease the land for agriculture, what happens to its IAL designation? 1/26/2017 12:07 PM

4 Except for the points above. Why IAL designation (as first suggested by the Constitutional amendment) was even anissue that came up. Because if enforcement of existing rules and regulations (like actually farming your AG land if youhave a house on it) was done, IAL probably wouldn't be needed. I farm my land, when many other "gentlemenfarmers" don't, It seems we are ignoring enforcement and just adding bureaucracy. Large corporations andlandowners such as Castle and Cooke etc, are the only ones on the IAL (least at present) that I can tell. I hardly makeany money and just farm for myself and friends. So tax incentives are not going to help me. What I need is access tofarming machinery on a rental/loan basis, training to run it, etc. I am a woman farmer. 2. I want to help our island beself-sufficient, one to combat problems such as global warming, etc. Two, because it seems the IAL designationprogram is more about FEELING we are doing something to protect farmland from urbanization, rather than actuallymake farmland owners produce/farm the land.

1/26/2017 12:01 PM

5 By the public, not the City and County. 1/26/2017 12:00 PM

6 No explanation as to what happens to AG land that is not part of the IAL. 1/26/2017 11:57 AM

2 Will need to research this more. 1/26/2017 12:03 PM

3 I'm very satisfied. Thank you for informing me of the process to designate our property as IAL land. 1/26/2017 12:00 PM

4 There is AG land that is not used as AG land, yet the agencies that are supposed to be watching out for the AG landignore the abuse of the lands.

1/26/2017 11:57 AM

5 We would like to improve on a product, crop on our property. Hopefully, we will be able to produce a selling crop withgrants or funding after being proposed on IAL parcel. We would appreciate being able to attend classes in agriculture,crop production in our area.

1 I would like to know more on the possibility and process on requesting AG zone land to Urban/Res. 1/26/2017 12:12 PM

2 Stop lying to everyone. 1/26/2017 12:05 PM

3 I like Kioni Dudley's long term vision and dedication to what's right, appropriate and pono. Hope he gets sometraction/progress. Good pragmatic idea to defer final IAL process. Thank you for hosting!

1/26/2017 12:05 PM

4 Please make it a point to enforce AG land owners with homes to farm. WHAT GOOD ARE THESE LAWS IF NOTENFORCED? ENFORCE FIRST PLEASE AND ADD MORE DESIGNATION/RULES LATER PLEASE. Thank you forconsidering these points. Aloha!

1/26/2017 12:01 PM

5 Why not pay for people to move to where it is more sustainable to live? Rather than make everyone here suffer. Letthe rich eat each other UP!

1/26/2017 12:00 PM

6 How many community meetings will be held before a final IAL mapping decision if finalized? 1/26/2017 11:58 AM

7 Thank you. Honouliuli = IAL 1/26/2017 11:57 AM

8 1. Meeting was very useful, found out the City officials can change land designation at any time. 2. What is to stop theLegislature from changing AG land anytime in the future? IAL is a set up for the future when they will change all otherAG lands not part of IAL. Some day this will look like the mainland, no more Hawaii.

1/26/2017 11:57 AM

9 Please propose HOOPILI as IAL parcels. We have enough traffic leaving the West Coast. 1/26/2017 11:54 AM
