URGING KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS / BISHOP ESTATE TO PRIORITIZE COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY WITH THE HAWAII KAI COMMUNITY AMID LEASE EXPIRATIONS OF PROMINENT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSETS AND MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO IN FUTURE LAND USE DECISIONS.

HCR 165 is a concurrent resolution urging Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate (KSBE) to improve communication with the Hawaii Kai community regarding expiring leases on properties they own. It specifically asks KSBE to provide regular updates about future land use plans for assets like Kamilonui Valley farms (where elderly farmers face lease expiration and financial strain) and Hahaione Valley (home to JAIMS and affecting nearby condo views). The resolution also encourages KSBE to maintain current land use practices ("status quo") for these properties to avoid disrupting community life. It does not impose new legal requirements but formally requests transparency and continuity in KSBE’s decisions affecting Hawaii Kai residents.
