In some of the matters before the Board, a person may wish to request a contested case hearing.  If such a request is made before the Board’s decision, then the Board will consider the request first – before considering the merits of the item before it.  A person who wants a contested case may also wait until the Board decides the issue, then request the contested case after the decision.  It is up to you.  Any request must be made orally by the end of the meeting and followed up in writing within ten days.  If no request for contested case is made, the Board will make a decision.  The Department will treat the decision as final and proceed accordingly.

A.        MINUTES

1.    Amend Prior Board Action of May 11, 2018, Item D-1 as amended, Amend Prior Board Action of July 28, 2017, Item D-10, Consent to Assignment of Fifty Percent (50%) Interest in Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership, also known as Ficker & Hunt Partnership, Lessee under General Lease No. S-4649, from Albert Ficker, Assignor, to Chester Hunt, Assignee; Acknowledgment that Lessee under General Lease No. S-4649 Will Thereby Become Chester Hunt, as Tenant in Severalty; Kekaha, Waimea, Kauai, Tax Map Key: (4) 1-3-008:003;

The purpose of the amendment is to: (i) delete the portion of the Board approval stating that Chester Hunt will become the lessee under the lease, and instead confirm that the lessee will remain Ficker and Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership; and (ii) address the effect of a March 20, 1995 Extension of General Lease No. S-4649 (1995 Extension), and to specify that even though the extension incorporated a lease assignment premium provision into the lease, that provision and others in the 1995 Extension are unenforceable because they constitute an improper amendment of a public auction lease.  Staff recommends an Amendment of the 1995 Extension to Eliminate all Terms and Conditions Therein That Are Inconsistent with General Lease No. S-4649 as Sold at Public Auction (except for the increase in the duration of the lease);

After-the-fact Consent to Sublease under General Lease No. S-4649, Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership, Sublessor, to United States Postal Service, Sublessee; Approve 20-Year Extension of Lease Term, General Lease No. S-4649, Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership, Lessee; Kekaha, Waimea, Kauai, Tax Map Key: (4) 1-3-008:003. 

The purposes of the current amendment are for the Board to: (1) delete that portion of the Board’s May 11, 2018 action under Item D-1 that specified the lessee would remain Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership, and instead reinstate that portion of the Board’s action of July 28, 2017, Item D-10, consenting to the assignment of an undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in the canceled Ficker & Hunt partnership registered September 8, 1982 from Albert Ficker, as assignor, to Chester Hunt, as assignee, and confirming that Chester Hunt thereby became the lessee under the lease as tenant in severalty; (2) consent to the assignment of the lease from Chester Hunt, as assignor, to Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership registered on May 23, 2018, as assignee; (3) ratify the consent to sublease approved at its meeting of May 11, 2018, Item D-1, with the clarification that Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership registered on May 23, 2018 is the sublessor and the United States Postal Service is the sublessee; (4) ratify the 20-year extension of lease approved at its meeting of May 11, 2018, Item D-1, with the clarification that Ficker & Hunt, a Hawaii Partnership registered on May 23, 2018 is the lessee in the extension period; and (5) change a portion of the improvements required for the lease extension by replacing “reconstruction of the apron connecting the parking lot to the road” with “replacing two rooftop air conditioning units,” and find that lessee’s expenditure of $114,393.15 for improvements to the premises is sufficient for the lease extension.
