Resident warns of rising drug activity; KNA to organize community planning meeting

Bruno Ewald stood during new business and described what the minutes call "the growing problem of drugs and drug culture in Kilauea," urging community members to rally and push back against blatant drug sales and use in neighborhoods. The KNA board agreed to assist Ewald in facilitating a community planning meeting in July at the Kilauea School cafeteria to develop strategies and neighborhood actions to address the problem.

Board President Yoshi L’Hote confirmed the board’s commitment to organize the meeting and to support neighbor-led planning. No formal policy or funding decisions were made at the meeting; the board’s commitment was to help convene and plan next steps.
