• 2005 Legislative Wrap Up - Bill Anonsen also to report.

• Last Year’s Regional Exam Center Wrap Up LCDR Rick Raksnis

He will be reporting on the type of licenses they issue. Brad asked him if he could also report on Tow Boat Towing Endorsements for Masters Licenses. These will be required next year.

• Update on Pier 1 & 2 coming back under State Harbors control from the Kakaako Waterfront Planning District.

• 2005 Boat Show Update - Bob Heidrich

Bob felt this was probably not appropriate for a General Membership Meeting so gave a brief report to the Advisory Board. Bob felt the Safety Booth concept with the Safety at Sea Seminar presentations were well attended and informative. The crowd thinned out at the end of both days, but he did feel it was a very worth while effort. He also picked up and distributed a brochure on an oil “Imbiber Beads” which absorb organics.

• Harbor Safety Conference Report - Brad and Robin

Robin will have materials from the conference. A lot of good contacts were made. A lot of discussion on Security Exercises. In Hawaii we are looking to conduct an Exercise in conjunction with State Civil Defense and State Harbors . Details are still being developed.

AGENDA ITEM #5 Pending HOST Safety Issues

• Safety At Sea Subcommittee. - Susan Harper reported that the boat show Safety at Sea presentations went very well. The next meetings may be at a different location as people have moved from Kaneohe . The details and scheduled will be worked out.

• SOP 7-98 Multiple Cruise Vessels Visiting Offshore Port Anchorages - Kim reviewed our efforts presenting “efficiency” issues to the legislature and the legislative request by resolution to State Harbors asking them to look at these ideas.

• Clean Water Act/State water quality subcommittee - Nothing new on this at this time. Captain Terry Rice has sent out an announcement that on the 6^th there will be presentation on documentation requirements for ballast water regulations.

Troy reported that a Chamber of Commerce meeting discussed this subject and State Harbors looking to gather information and then hold public hearings are to be held. It looks like this will be long process. This effort is also a review of a HOST SOP. Our goal in HOST was to create opportunities for dialogue, and this seems to be working well.

• Membership Meetings: The Maritime Education and Training has approved our continued use of their facility for our meetings.

• Marine Event Permits: Quincy Adams is now in charge of issuing Event Permits. They want 30 days advance notice is required for any activities within a security zone, or that may cause a marine casualty or appear to be a marine casualty. For more detailed information you may contact LTJG Quincy Adams at Qadams@d14.uscg.mil. Also, information is available on the USCG website. Other typical activities that would require an event permit would include fireworks events or pyrotechnics, shooting flares or movie fire “effects”, or holding any event that goes through a traffic channel.

Scott Cunningham, Honolulu Harbor Master, announced that there will be an opportunity within the next six months for industry to have input on the next review of the 2020 Master Plan. In the past each harbor plan was updated/reviewed on a one harbor at a time basis. This new approach will look at the State Harbors as one system and the plan review will look at all Harbors in one review.

John Regan reported that the Coast Guard Auxiliary has been showing the new safeboats that have arrived to schools. This has been a very popular program.

• Chris Woolaway announced that Mike Kitamura of Senator Akaka’s office expressed some interest in the next General Meeting topic on the Commercialization of the Naval Shipyard. Currently we are intending to have a presentation although some people may be under the impression that this could be a panel discussion.

There will not be a “TransPac Row” due to harbors work. The yachts will be docked at the Waikiki Yacht Club and Honolulu Harbor .

Brad asked if there were any further announcements. Hearing none he adjourned the meeting.
