1. Introductions: Attendees each introduced themselves.
2. July 17 meeting minutes reviewed and approved
3. Treasury Report: $23,642.13 ($10,000-$12,000 for Spirit Sessions funding)
4. Guest Speaker: Waikiki T-groins – discussion of construction plans for Grays Beach by Scott Sullivan of Sea Engineering. Many T-groins around the world, and no examples of the design not working. Although this 3-groin project is small (1 groin actually replaces an existing, so only adding 2) and could be a good pilot for Waikiki, it may not be in our chapter's best interests to support or rally against their construction. Does not fit squarely in our chapter mission. Might be good to submit some suggestions regarding safety concerns.

Business:

5. Keep It Blue - campaign planning discussed and HI Ocean Resources Management Plan discussed. Will need to brainstorm runoff prevention chapter activities to fit within plan and receive funding.
6. Kaiser/Bowls Access - No new information, but Tim to write an article for Heavywater after contacting Arnold Lum. Need more publicity.
7. Waterkeeper Alliance – Shared coordinator staff position? Scott to contact Ed/Jim and ask if a temporary, shared position is possible.
8. EM Stream/Canal Remediation Project - Scott shared information on potential project that could translate into a BMP for bioremediating impaired waterways, which fits into Keep It Blue and could be source of funding. Demo project being considered for McCoy Pavilion ponds.
9. Triple Crown Participation - We'll set up a booth on weekends only of contests and at the Makahiki Fest. Need to ask Vipe if there's another event that the JK Awards could be presented at.
