The majority of West Hawaii <br /> development approvals have occurred during Hilo County Council meetings. <br /> <br /> West Hawaii concurrency and infrastructure deficiency issues are not easily recognized from across a <br /> table in Hilo, and the reverse is true as well. The County Council might to resolve to schedule East <br /> Hawaii issues during Hilo meetings and West Hawaii issues during Kona meetings. Creating equal <br /> access to County government proceedings requires issues to be heard where the effected constituents <br /> have access. <br /> Comm. No. c1sq-1c <br /> Ref. Tcr ete! <br /> Ref.
