March 20, 2003 <br />James Arakaki, Chairman and all Councilmembers <br />Hawai'i County Council <br />25 Aupuni St, Room 209 <br />Hilo Hi 96720 <br />Re: West Hawai'i civic center <br />Aloha, <br />RECE;IV0 <br />By <br />y 9oupty Coun:il <br />Citizens for Equitable and Responsible Government (CERG) has conducted an informal, <br />voluntary response Internet poll and opinion. <br />Twenty (20) responses or approximately 13% of the distribution list were received. Each <br />response has been attached for your review with a summary of results listed on page 2 <br />of this letter. <br />Only Question #1 had a clear majority of opinion with 80% favoring a West Hawai'i civic <br />center in some form. As a result, CERG officially supports a West Hawai'i civic center. <br />However, the survey results also clearly indicate a lack of consensus regarding a <br />location for the proposed public facility, regardless of the ceded lands issue. Therefore, <br />if funding is approved, CERG strongly recommends further public education and <br />hearings be conducted by the County government before a location for the proposed <br />civic center is finalized. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cbm <br />Charles Flaherty <br />President 'Pt1a <br />Ref. <br />Awl. iJ�40 <br />81-950 Makahiki Lane' Captain Cook HI 96704 .
