Please note that the review committee was specific in its support for the <br /> program for the Waipio area only. This award is not intended to support the Kahaluu Park <br /> effort. However, for your information, The Kohala Center's program for "Saving Kahaluu Bay" <br /> was funded and we encourage your staff to work with this organization as they move forward. <br /> We are very excited about this new Program and look forward to working with you and <br /> your staff to implement your project. We are currently drafting the contract between the HTA <br /> and the County and will get a copy of that to you as soon as it is available. <br /> <br /> To assist us with expediting this process, would you please submit the following to our <br /> offices to the attention of Robbie Kane by February 24, 2006: <br /> 1. A revised project budget reflecting the award of $60,000 (versus the $129,500 you <br /> had requested) including a breakdown of how you plan to use the HTA funds within <br /> your project budget; and <br /> 2. A revised narrative reflecting the program for the Waipio area only. <br /> <br /> Thank you once again for your enthusiastic support of this program and partnership. If <br /> you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact either Muriel Anderson at <br /> 973-2269 or Robbie Kane at 973-2262. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Rex D. Johnson <br /> President and Chief Executive Officer <br /> <br /> cc: Beth Dykstra, Grants Specialist <br />
