My name is Darlene Brothers and I am the President of the Kuau Bayview at Paia Homeowners' Association. Please allocate approximately $6000 of the Parks budget toward erecting a 6' chain link fence along the east boundary of the Paia Community Center to address the urgent public safety issue that currently exists there. We are very concerned that children could fall down the steep slope, and possibly drown in the basin after rainstorms. Kuau Bayview's Retention Basin is adjacent to the PCC park and playground. The fence has fallen down in places and no longer provides protection. I met with Angus Peters III and Shane Dudoit in January and had the fence repair man explain to him that the fence could not be repaired because there was nowhere to stand on the steep slope. I asked if Parks would allow us to erect the fence at the top of the slope, and he said no. As it is not possible for us to repair the fence on HOA property on the slope, I told Shane that Parks would have to erect their own fence at the top of the hill. So far Parks has done nothing. I don't want a child to get injured before they address this dangerous situation. Mahalo.
