A significant milestone was reached during the Water and Infrastructure Committee meeting on October 6, 2025, as members moved to adopt resolution 25-177, aimed at addressing the complexities of remnant roads in Maui County. The committee acknowledged the extensive efforts of Mister Harnaca, whose work has been pivotal in facilitating a quitclaim deed from the state to the county, a crucial step in resolving ongoing road issues.

Council member Sugimura led the motion to recommend the adoption of the resolution, which was seconded by council member Nu Hodges. The resolution underwent a substitution with a proposed CD 1 version, incorporating necessary amendments for clarity and consistency. The committee unanimously supported the motion, with six members voting in favor and four excused.

This resolution not only marks progress in managing Maui's infrastructure but also sets a precedent for future resolutions concerning similar road issues across various districts. The committee expressed hope that this mechanism will streamline the process of addressing remnant roads, ultimately benefiting the community and neighboring landowners. As the committee moves forward, the focus will remain on resolving these infrastructure challenges effectively.
