2020 Kaua`i County Council Candidate Forum July 16, 2020

On Thursday, July 16th at 6pm, Community Coalition Kauai (CCK) hosted a community forum with 17 of the County Council Candidates for 2020. https://www.communitycoalitionkauai.org

Enjoy this 2.5 hour video replay where council candidates took turns answering 3 key questions that follow

  • QUESTION 1 Food Sustainability
    • What would you do to grow Kaua`i’s agricultural economy and increase the island’s food sustainability? Food sustainability requires affordable land, housing and marketing. What would you do to assure that land, housing and marketing needs are met to strengthen food security? How can we reduce the loss of water from our streams and apportion the distribution of water more fairly to encourage a more sustainable farm program?
  • QUESTION 2 Re-opening Tourism on Kaua`i?
    • How do you envision Kaua`i’s future economy in contrast to its pre-covid economy? Do you think that the island can be opened to tourism safely?  How? What are your views, if any, on how we can address tourism and find other sources of jobs to sustain Kaua`i?
  • QUESTION 3 Housing and Affordability
    • Plans have been made to develop Lihue Town Center, 2800 plus units, Kalaheo Town Walkable District and Koloa Town Walkable District. Since approval of these plans, a bill has been introduced that exempts these and developments of 10 residential units or more per acre from the Housing Ordinance affordability requirements. What is your view on this proposed exemption? If developers are given an exemption from affordability, where will Kauai’s affordable housing come from? What potential is there for county-acquired distressed properties and abandoned buildings to be converted to affordable housing?

Water Rights

If a farmer needs water to grow produce, he should be able to get it at a fair price. Water is free and is, due to the Public Trust, controlled by our County.  The delivery of water is currently controlled by the private sector. We need to work together as stewards of this most precious of resources.

Honoring our Past to Direct our Future
Aloha Friends, my focus is on Kaua’i’s sustainable economy. You will find my campaign banners are purchased from a local vendor, my campaign cookies from a young Kaua’i entrepreneur starting her business, my mailer which you will receive shortly was ordered and printed locally, my campaign hats from a local vendor. Actions speak louder than words. Ask your candidates where they spend their campaign money. This will say a lot about their priorities.
