Appendix A and B were distributed in advance of and at the meeting. Meeting notes were
taken in real-time for meeting participants to review and comment and necessary. The realtime
notes were incorporated in and are attached (Appendix I) to these minutes.
Discussion
At opening, several non-PA related comments were provided:
Tiffany Hill (Honolulu Magazine) was invited by Paulette Ka‘anohi Kaleikini; she
is writing an article on Paulette.
Blythe Semmer (Advisory Council on Historic Preservation [ACHP]) expressed
frustration as the dial-in information on the agenda was not consistent with the
information on the eBlast invitation.
Faith Miyamoto (The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation [HART]) and Ted Matley
(Federal Transit Administration [FTA]) welcomed new consulting parties. Faith updated those
present on the status of the August 2012 Supreme Court Decision, noting it did not affect the
PA. Joanna Morsicato (HART) led the discussion that follows, organized by PA stipulation.
These minutes are organized by PA stipulation and are not necessarily in chronological order.
Information included in Appendix B is not repeated in these minutes.
I. Roles and Responsibilities
I.G. (Architectural Historian)
HART continues to advertise for the Architectural Historian position. The architectural
historian job description was distributed and is attached to these minutes as Appendix E. It’s
been challenging to fill this position as HART doesn’t hire through the City’s civil service
process; all new HART positions are personal services contracts and are renewed on an
annual basis.
Per the Record of Decision (ROD), HART has designated its General Engineering Consultant
(GEC), Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) to fulfill the Architectural Historian position in the interim.
Stephanie Foell has been serving in this role; she meets the Secretary of Interior’s

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—2 November 1, 2012
Professional Qualification Standards. Mason Architects and other project staff including
planners and those with a background in Section 106 and/or Historic Preservation have also
been participating in fulfilling this role.
Angie Westfall (State Historic Preservation Division [SHPD]) commented:
SHPD hired two full-time Architectural Historians and two temporary Architectural
Historians within the last year. The fact that HART is not getting applications is
hard for us to believe. There are people on-island that meet the standards.
To address the concern that HART wasn’t responsive to PA requirements regarding Transit-
Oriented Development (TOD) in lieu of a staff Architectural Historian, HART explained that it’s
Planners and Mason Architects (local Architectural Historians) reviewed recently submitted
draft Kalihi and Downtown Neighborhood TOD plans. Relevant portions of the draft Kalihi and
Downtown Neighborhood TOD plans were distributed at the meeting and are attached to
these minutes as Appendix H. Both HART and the GECs subcontractor, Mason Architects
provided detailed comments to the City’s Department of Planning & Permitting (DPP) on these
plans. HART also clarified that DPP has TOD implementation authority; while HART is in an
advisory role and provides regular input to DPP.
I.H. (PA Kāko‘o – Paul Cleghorn, Pacific Legacy)
The kāko‘o holds monthly consulting party meetings that are separate from these PA
Quarterly Meetings. Upcoming kāko‘o meetings will take place on November 29, 2012 and
December 20, 2012. Paul noted that the kāko‘o meetings could be used for design-focused
coordination; it’s an option.
The kāko‘o is beginning work on the Best Practices Manual (BPM) that was mentioned at the
last quarterly meeting.
Mahealani Cypher (O‘ahu Council, Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs) commented:
Consulting parties feel the Best Practices Manual (BPM) related to historic
properties and a Section 106 “lessons learned” case study on the Project be
developed sooner than noted in the PA. Why wasn’t this done earlier We
should be following this now
Blythe Semmer commented:
There is value in beginning to work on parts of the BPM where things are already
available to us and we can think about our best practices where we currently
stand. However, please note, this includes a longer-term, backward look at the
implementation of this project for a case study that could be used on future
projects as well. Please keep in mind that we don’t want to move it too far up to
where we cut off the opportunity to continue to learn.
New Consulting Parties
The following individuals had previously requested recognition as a consulting party. They
were invited to participate in and were recognized at this November 1, 2012 meeting.
Blossom Feiteira, Rocky Naeole and Rose Puaoi were not present at the meeting.
Blossom Feiteira, Association of Hawaiian Homelands
Ha‘aheo Guanson, Pacific Justice and Reconciliation Center
Kanaloa Koko, Royal Order of the Crown; Ka Iwi ‘Ōlelo
Michael Kumukaoha Lee, Kane Hili Hui
Paulette Ka‘anohi Kaleikini
Rocky Naeole, Royal Order of Kamehameha-Moku ‘O Kapuāiwa (Chapter 8)
Rose Puaoi, Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement
Umi Sexton, Kingdom of Hawai‘i; Order of Kamehameha

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—3 November 1, 2012
The “Definition of a Consulting Party” handout was distributed and is attached to these
minutes as Appendix C.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu (O‘ahu Island Burial Council [OIBC]) made several comments:
What was the impetus that prompted the latest wave of consulting parties at this
juncture of the discussion
Hopes that this is not going to create the image that more people were consulted
with. “We’ve had very reasonable consultation with those all along the way up
until this point; I am speaking to what degree will the concerns of those who have
sat at this table be honored”
In support of the new voices and those who have yet to participate.
Doesn’t appreciate that the FTA holds ultimate discretion on consulting parties as
they are not in the wherewithal to determine for the Hawaiian community who is
and who isn’t in a position and who has a say and who doesn’t.
The OIBC brought forth recommendations; had those been paid attention to and
had OIBC been honored in their request to become a mandatory signatory of the
PA, the injunction as a result of the latest Hawai‘i Supreme Court ruling could
have been avoided.
You may want to consider how you approach working with the native community.
Ted Matley:
FTA takes this process very seriously and is committed to making sure that what
has been agreed upon in the PA is executed. He also acknowledged that FTA
appreciates comments received requesting more information. The Honolulu Rail
Transit Project (HRTP) is a complex project and the communication process
continues to be refined; we are continually working to improve communication.
II. Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP)
II.A. (Studies to Determine the Presence of Previously Unidentified TCPs)
Michael Lee (Kane Hili Hui) commented:
Kepā Maly was hired to do the Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) Study and I
provided oli and other information related to Chinatown and Honouliuli. The
information never got to Kepā; it was never in the final report.
Studies for Sections 1-3 have been completed and approved. Information Update (not
included at meeting): The spring of Huewaipi and Kukiiau, a battle ground, were identified as
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligible resources. HART will complete NRHP
nominations for these properties that meet the NRHP criteria for TCPs. No adverse impacts
from the HRTP were identified for these properties. This information was provided to
consulting parties at an earlier date.
The SRI Foundation/Kumu Pono team, in partnership with Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i (CSH),
continue the development of the TCP Study for City Center (Section 4; Middle Street to Ala
Moana Center), which includes Chinatown and is expected to be completed in early-2013.
HART will ensure the Chinatown information from Michael gets to Kepā and will need to look
into the Honouliuli information that was previously provided.
A general informational map showing the relationship between the HRTP guideway sections
and ahupua‘a was distributed and is attached to these minutes as Appendix G.

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—4 November 1, 2012
III. Identification and Protection of Archaeological Sites and Burials
III.B (Protocol for Consultation Regarding Treatment of Iwi Kūpuna identified during the
AIS)
HART is seeking registered or potential cultural and/or lineal descendants. HART will hold the
first in a series of Consultation for Iwi Kūpuna meetings on November 8, 2012 to discuss
recent discoveries.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu commented:
In the area of iwi kūpuna, in this district alone, there are about 10 on-going
projects and she goes to each and every one of those meetings. She thought
that the Hilton Hawaiian Village was holding a consultation meeting with
descendants on November 8, 2012, which conflicts with the HART consultation
meeting. (Information Update: this was later found to be in error. The HART
meeting was held as scheduled.)
III.C (Fieldwork)
The Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS) and design work is progressing while construction
has been placed on hold. AIS field work completion is expected by the end of 2012. As of
October 31, 2012, 168 of 232 trenches in the City Center section have been completed.
Consultation with SHPD and OIBC regarding the treatment of finds at trenches 150, 141 and
142 continues. If finds in these three trenches were to be left in place, the project can design
the columns and utilities around these locations.
Mahealani Cypher commented:
Would it have been cheaper to do the full AIS before starting construction
It was acknowledged that there are costs associated with construction delays.
Michael Lee commented:
On May 11, 2012, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request:
“what is the TMK map numbers and location of the current drilling area of
HART’s contractors at Ho‘opili farm area for the rail pylons that recently hit
water” The response received from HART: “There is no responsive record but
the TMK for the area mentioned is 9-1-17:004. Please note groundwater was not
encountered during drilling shafts at Pier 65 and Piers 71-76.” What of the other
piers
HART will respond to Mike Lee with clarification on piers that were not mentioned in HART’s
response to his FOIA request.
Cultural Monitoring
Federal and State law, and the PA, do not require HART to have Cultural Monitors; however,
HART has voluntarily developed a Cultural Monitoring Program for City Center (Section 4) AIS
activities.
Umi Sexton (Kingdom of Hawai‘i; Order of Kamehameha) commented:
Regarding last night’s KGMB broadcast, HART’s media guy needs to be more
proactive and transparent about what’s occurring on a weekly basis. Cultural
Monitors are there to educate all of those involved.
Ha‘aheo Guanson (Pacific Justice & Reconciliation Center) asked:
Are you evaluating the Cultural Monitors

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—5 November 1, 2012
Michael Lee asked:
What has HART done to find cultural and/or lineal descendants What
newspapers (Ka Wai Ola, Honolulu Star-Advertiser) have you advertised in your
search Very important to get lineal descendants on board.
The fact that you have people that have worked on project’s elsewhere, does not
address the lineal descendants issue; there is a hierarchy of protocol.
He also added that not all of us could attend the Cultural Monitoring Safety
Orientation. Will there be another
HART has placed legal advertisements in the Office of Hawaiian Affairs’ Ka Wai Ola
newspaper and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, and has also distributed an eBlast notification
seeking cultural and/or lineal descendants. Additionally, the Native Hawaiian Chamber of
Commerce and other Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHO) have been sharing the
information within their network. (Also see discussion above, under Stipulation III.B regarding
November 8, 2012 meeting.)
At this time, additional Cultural Monitor Safety Orientation sessions are not scheduled.
Paulette Kaleikini commented:
Cultural Monitors should be state-recognized cultural and/or lineal descendants
of the area; we come forward to be recognized in order to fully participate. She
also noted that she had complaints from family members – who are Cultural
Monitors – last night, who feel they are being controlled and manipulated.
Kanaloa Koko (Royal Order of the Crown; Ka Iwi ‘Ōlelo) had a different opinion:
Cultural Monitors can be from any district (ahupua‘a) as long as they are Native
Hawaiian. No matter where you come from, a Native Hawaiian has a right to
participate as a Cultural Monitor.
HART is in the planning stages for a project-wide Cultural Monitoring Program for
construction, and is currently working with a group of monitors, many of whom have served as
monitors for other projects on O‘ahu and includes state-recognized cultural and/or lineal
descendents.
IV. Design Standards
Ken Caswell, HART’s Chief Architect, lead the discussion on the status of the station design
and value engineering that has occurred.
IV. A (Design Language Pattern Book)
The Design Language Pattern book has not been modified and will not be updated. It is still
being utilized.
Blythe Semmer commented:
Referring to PA stipulation IV.A, when will the City, FTA and/or kāko‘o give an
initial assessment of whether the designs for stations with the potential for
cultural sensitivity and/or near historic resources (Aloha Stadium, Pearl Harbor
Naval Base, Chinatown and Downtown stations) meet the Secretary of Interiors’
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties Will we hear from you folks
on or around the time of Workshop #2 that appears here on the Design
Workshop Schedule
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu asked Blythe:
Please articulate for those who are new at the table, what are the sensitivities
you are referring to with regards to the station and its design.

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—6 November 1, 2012
Blythe responded to Hinaleimoana:
I speak of adherence to the Secretary of Interiors’ Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties, which is referenced in PA stipulation IV.A and relates to
impacts to stations within or adjacent to listed or eligible historic properties and
that the City will comply in order to avoid adverse effects, since the standards are
a preservation practice. I want the consulting parties to understand when we’ll
get an assessment that these designs meet those standards.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu made other comments:
Station design should display a balance between Hawaiian and other cultures.
Michael Lee commented:
Cultural connections between Hawaiian and Chinese have been made; we need
to continue to do this.
Mahealani Cypher noted:
We previously reviewed designs that were unique to each station and had
suggested that external structural components reflect the host culture with
Hawaiian motifs, themes and other elements. Perhaps the interiors of station
entrance buildings could be the appropriate space to display the historical
features and information but the exterior should clearly convey a Hawaiian sense
of place.
Ha‘aheo Guanson asked:
Can we get assurance that the basic structural design will be Hawaiian
Michael Lee inquired:
What happens to elevators and/or escalators in the event of a power outage Is
there emergency power
Ken Caswell responded:
Typically, elevators are not on uninterrupted power. In the event of a power
outage, elevators usually return to the ground floor. There will be patron-assisted
telephones at each station to contact the operations control center, which would
dispatch emergency responders. HART will institute processes and procedures
to address an island-wide power outage that is of significance. HART has
ongoing safety and security meetings that involve staff across multiple disciplines
and will work with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) and Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMT) to design features, training programs, etc that will
mitigate any emergency situation that may arise.
Paulette Ka‘anohi Kaleikini asked:
How many restrooms per station
Ken Caswell responded:
One per station. Restrooms are not required. However, there will be one unisex
restroom at each station, which will be locked but accessible via the station
attendant. HART has polled other transit agencies/systems and many have been
compelled to close existing restrooms due to criminal activities, homelessness
and other issues. The catch-22 is that restrooms at stations can be more of a
hazard than a convenience to patrons.
The consulting parties offered a number of comments regarding restrooms:
Michael Lee suggested: Install a camera outside of the restroom like on TheBus.
If they knew that they were being watched, it would tell the patron that we have a
timed record of you.
Ellyn Goldkind noted: There’s no way to deter bad activity; people will spray paint
or break the camera. She continued that in Washington, D.C. there is one
restroom at each station, which the public can access through the stations onsite
manager. She also commented that since travel time between stations is
fairly short, that not too many real emergencies would occur.

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—7 November 1, 2012
Kalani Asam said - applying mainland standards to Hawai‘i dismisses the Aloha
spirit; that’s what distinguishes us from “them.”
Kanaloa Koko asked: have you considered a token system for access to
restrooms
URS Corporation was given a notice to proceed as the West O‘ahu Station Group (WOSG)
Design Consultant in July 2012. WOSG includes East Kapolei, UH West O‘ahu and Ho‘opili
stations.
Ellyn Goldkind made several comments:
“You anticipate a notice to proceed on Kamehameha Highway Station Group
(KHSG) but we have yet to review the designers’ Request for Proposal (RFP),
which we requested in July 2012. Additionally, in February or May of 2011, we
requested a design charette.” She wants to see the designers’ scope of work.
“I was told that URS was brought on board to develop modular design.”
She is concerned that URS is WOSG design consultant. “I have a lot of years of
experience in working with URS. I have never seen a good contextual design
from URS; they’re more of an engineering firm.”
She has asked who on the URS team has cultural and local design experience
and has gotten no answer.
URS is not tasked with developing modular design. There is confidentiality in the consultant
selection process so not all information is available. HDR Engineering, Inc was given prior
notice to proceed as the Farrington Highway Station Group (FHSG) Design Consultant.
FHSG includes West Loch, Waipahu and Leeward Community College stations. Given valueengineering
(VE) efficiencies that have been instituted, design for the FHSG is going through
re-design based on modular design.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu commented:
We’ve been discussing this for two years. This process is unacceptable in the
Hawaiian community context. My community and people have seen an influx for
too long and so now the standards are that any building over x-number of years
old meets the standards. Case in point, Chinatown buildings determining the
appearance of the Chinatown Station instead of honoring the native culture and
history.
Ellyn Goldkind responded to Hinaleimoana’s comment:
It’s supposed to do both. You’re supposed to see contextual in the design and
still find a way to incorporate that homage to the past, including the native
Hawaiian past. It’s not just the built environment that exists, it’s everything.
Ellyn Goldkind commented:
We were told that the VE exercise was to develop a modular kit of parts but I
expected that by now we would have some conceptual notion of what those kit of
parts would be (i.e. exterior panels that could incorporate Hawaiian motifs, color
and materials palette). As a VE decision, these affect the cost of the entire run of
the station design. That kit of parts may not apply to the Pearl Harbor Naval
Base Station and it’s my job to ensure that they are identified and addressed
early on in the process to avoid change orders, etc.
IV.B (Neighborhood Design Workshops)
The Design Workshop Schedule was distributed and is attached to these minutes as
Appendix F. Workshop #1 is intended to capture the Preliminary Engineering (PE)-level
designs, or at least the revised PE-level designs. Workshop #2 is at the stage of Final Design
for the stations and will include all features, stipulations, codes, regulations, ordinances, etc.

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—8 November 1, 2012
A design workshop for FHSG will be held in February 2013 to discuss architectural drawings,
features and finishes. A design workshop for WOSG will be held in June 2013 to discuss
exterior appearances and aesthetic features.
IV.C (Preliminary Engineering Design Plans)
Angie Westfall commented:
According to the schedule, WOSG and FHSG held their first in a series of design
workshops, presenting PE-level designs. SHPD has not seen any PE design
submittal(s) for built components including stations, guideway, and directly
related project infrastructure improvements. My concern is that you will be
presenting updated designs that you consider to be final when I haven’t reviewed
any PE-level designs.
Ellyn Goldkind recalled that:
We’ve reviewed and commented in February 2011 but haven’t seen anything
graphic. Also, given the new design approach, previous design reviews are null
and void. Since we’re starting over, let’s start over the right way.
Mahealani Cypher noted:
We see this group once every quarter and have been asking for design
information for too long. It would’ve been helpful to see something at this
meeting.
Ken Caswell asked that the Navy provide him with a list of requested design deliverables so
that HART can respond appropriately and provide the available information.
PE-level design drawings to determine sites, locations and establish cost-estimates for
individual stations were developed in 2009 and distributed to consulting parties for review (on
February 25, 2011 and HART received comments from the U.S. Navy, Historic Hawai‘i
Foundation and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Those comments are also available on the
project website). The VE process was conducted on PE-level designs and HART has
instituted a modular design concept with some standards features and components (i.e. stairs,
elevators, escalators). However, each station will have a different site condition and aesthetic;
the exterior appearance including materials and finishes can be different from station to
station. Each site will have the opportunity to develop a unique character. Furthermore,
entrance buildings, interpretive signage and the art-in-transit program provide additional
opportunities for creating a unique aesthetic for each station.
While designs were presented in 2009, the process is moving along and HART continues to
re-evaluate the station configuration and technical and structural aspects to ensure design is
efficient. As the final design process continues, HART will provide additional opportunities for
review. Final design review opportunities will also be available for stations with the potential
for cultural sensitivity and/or near historic resources (Aloha Stadium, Pearl Harbor Naval
Base, Chinatown and Downtown stations).
HART will present PE-level designs for FHSG and WOSG to consulting parties as soon as it
becomes available, and will clarify the schedule. While the approach has changed since the
initial review of PE-level designs, Workshop #2 for FHSG and WOSG will function as
Workshop #2 but will actually be at a Workshop #1 level where revised PE-level designs will
be presented and discussed.

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—9 November 1, 2012
Joanna Morsicato responded that since there are so many questions about the station design
and the PA, HART will schedule a project-wide station design-focused meeting to update the
consulting parties before station design workshops resume.
Re-internment Sites:
Chapter 11: Landscape Architecture of the Compendium of Design Criteria will be updated to
include a designated re-internment site at each station.
Station Naming:
HART intends to use a Hawaiian place name as well as location name for stations. This
overlaps with Stipulation VII. There is already a City Council resolution in support of this.
V. Recordation and Documentation
Historic Context Studies (HCS), Cultural Landscape Reports (CLR) and Historic American
Building Survey (HABS), Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), and Historic
American Landscape Survey (HALS) Recordation continues.
VI. National Register of Historic Places/National Historic Landmark Nominations
National Register (NR) nomination and HABS, HAER, HALS (HHH) documentation continues.
VI.F (Searchable Database of Historic Properties)
Once information from NR nominations and HHH documentation is finalized and approved, it
will be uploaded to the searchable database of historic properties under the corresponding
property. The database is live at http://historic.honolulutransit.org.
VII. Educational and Interpretive Programs, Materials and Signage
Mahealani Cypher noted:
HART should consider other venues for sharing information like a mobile
application.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu:
I will continue to hold the project team accountable. Put Hawai‘i out there in an
appropriate way, but don’t prosecute it.
Concerns of the native community should be first and foremost. If at all levels, in
all sense of the word, that the history, culture and people of Hawai‘i does not take
precedence then this is not a project worth supporting. Tourism could benefit
from this; they would want this experience. I would like to be a positive support
to this project and continue to do so for as long as this project will provide cultural
relevant:
1. Accessibility
2. Visibility; and
3. Opportunity

Administrative Provisions
XIV.A (Implementation Schedule)
HART had previously provided a schedule with key milestones but has since received
numerous requests for a more detailed schedule with every deliverable of the PA and major
milestones. The PA Expanded Schedule was distributed and is attached to these minutes as
Appendix D.
Ellyn Goldkind
I want a real schedule with milestone and deliverable dates that align with the
PA. And, those dates should identify if they are behind schedule, ahead of
schedule or on-schedule with the PA.
Joonsik Maing (FTA) requested that:
Since there were a few meeting dates mentioned to please send an eBlast of all
upcoming PA meetings.
XIV.E (Monitoring and Reporting)
Consulting parties had previously brought forth concerns with accurate and timely minutes.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu noted that:
Reviewed past minutes and they are not entirely inclusive. There are things that
are omitted. Noting that HART recorded comments live in on a monitor, she
comments that the words made it seem she was nicer than she may have come
across in the meeting.
Angie Westfall noted that:
SHPD submitted a letter to FTA; will we be getting a response

PA Quarterly Meeting Meeting Minutes—11 November 1, 2012
Joanna Morsicato committed that HART will produce quarterly meeting minutes in a more
timely fashion. She also noted that SHPD will receive a formal response to their October 15,
2012 letter to FTA.
XIV.E.2 (Quarterly Meetings)
The next meeting, a semi-annual meeting, will take place on January 25, 2012. HART will
extend the quarterly meeting schedule to continue as needed, beyond the 24-month period
dictated by the PA.
XIV.E.3 (Semi-Annual Report)
The July 2012 Semi-Annual Report was distributed on October 19, 2012 and is available on
the project website.
Blythe Semmer commented:
In order to be most productive, it would be helpful to review the semi-annual report and
meeting handouts/materials at least a week in advance of these meetings. We want to
come prepared to these meetings with questions.
Other Discussion Items
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu
Would hate for the Hawaiian community to be the evil face of the project.
Integrity is important.
As the chair of the OIBC, I’ve had people come to me saying “stop the rail.” I’m
not trying to stop anything; I’m only availing my time to be an advocate for my
charge and I don’t want to be labeled as a Hawaiian that’s adversarial to
development. It’s about the integrity we bring to the table.
HART’s public information and media time needs to be more hands-on.
Mahealani Cypher
We are here to ensure that you are educated and informed to be able to make
good decisions.
Kalani Asam
We should be in charge.
*** Meeting adjourned at 1:00 pm ***
