Read by script from the agenda PDF (pipeline/auto_zon_agendas.py): the items were lifted by pattern, and the agenda was added only because every numbered line parsed; a person has not reviewed this page. Only the items under the agenda's “For action” headings are carried; briefings and presentations printed before them are not. Copied from the committee's agenda in the City Council's document system, read Sept. 19, 2026. Measure numbers, headings, names, figures and dates are the council's; page headers and page numbers were removed and nothing else was changed. An item is placed in a board area only by a tax map key it prints, checked against the State of Hawaiʻi's parcel layer, or by the map point of a department file it names. A place name alone does not place an item. The Ledger has not read the bills, resolutions or committee reports and takes no position.
