R. com <br /> KFAr ,AKA AHUPUA'A 2020, Inc. <br /> May 10, 2006 <br /> Mr. Angel Pilago <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Planning Committee, Chair <br /> CC: Stacy Higa, County Council, Chairman <br /> County persons <br /> Virginia Isbell <br /> Gary Safarik <br /> Pete Hoffman <br /> Fred Holschuh <br /> Re: UH West Hawaii Campus/Palamanui Hilu Hilu Development <br /> Aloha Kakou <br /> I would like to voice my support for location of the new West Hawaii Campus in the <br /> Palamanui/Hilu Hilu Development. My reason for this support is simple: a <br /> committee of citizens of West Hawaii volunteered to review the needs and issues <br /> relating to higher education opportunities, the traffic patterns and projected <br /> community growth. As a result of their efforts, the Palamanui/Hilu Hilu was <br /> recommended. <br /> Over the years, I have served in a volunteer capacity on many local and state <br /> government boards, commissions, and committees. I have personal knowledge of <br /> the heart and effort that our citizens commit to the betterment of life in our <br /> community. I ask you to honor the diligent and committed work of these community <br /> volunteers. We called on our citizens to gather, to help plan a new campus, to use <br /> their intellect and kuleana for the betterment of their community. To then ignore <br /> that work and capriciously advocate for another location, as was done by the <br /> Department of Hawaiian Homelands, is wrong, and should be condemned. <br /> <br /> A COrl~9iINI7YPARTNERSHIP <br /> <br />
