Residents debate poultry rules, pig damage and social‑media disputes at Leilani meeting
Summary
Public comments ranged from queries about state statutes allowing poultry for personal use and property damage from pigs to accusations of misleading social‑media posts and an unresolved ethics allegation about an anonymous complaint.
During open forum, several residents raised land‑use and animal‑control concerns. Pete W. asked whether Kahukai would be paved and raised questions about county agricultural laws, noting that "according to state statutes, poultry is allowed for personal use." The exchange drew a point of order from Rod Kindel and generated follow‑up discussion about complaint procedures.
Stuart said pigs were damaging his property and easement; attendees suggested hires a trapper, building fencing or other remedies and cautioned against discharging firearms near neighbors. Multiple attendees criticized divisive or misleading posts on social media: Kathy P. said she was upset by alleged misinformation posted by Al Morrow, and Janice Tucker said she was considering legal action if defamatory statements continued, telling the meeting she would "pursue legal action with her attorney" if the behavior persisted.
Kris B. asked whether it is ethical for a sitting board member to file an anonymous complaint with the county building department against a property owner outside the association boundary and pressed Rod Kindel for an explanation; Rod declined to answer. The board provided explanations of complaint forms and emphasized communication to reduce misunderstandings.
