Finance Committee <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Sept. 15, 1998 po ~ - <br /> ~+~+r Caunctl Fc. <br /> Re: Support for Resolution #309-98 <br /> Dear County Council Members: <br /> The Friends of Hamakua, representing approximately 500 members, offers <br /> this testimony in support of our Councilman Dominic Yagong's Resolution <br /> #309. We have already submitted the joint statement representing <br /> thousands of Hawaii citizens in support of leasing these county lands for <br /> diversfied farming. <br /> <br /> We support our local people's ability in creating a sustainable and healthy <br /> community through diversification of our Hamakua lands. We humbly ask <br /> you to support the people's needs for fair, equitable lease rates in order to <br /> farm this land in question. To trade this large, arable acreage for small <br /> urban acres is not a wise choice. The local people can make good use of <br /> this land, why not give t1~ an opportunity? <br /> <br /> Thank you very much, <br /> t3card of Directors of Friends of Hamakua <br /> Ada Pulin-Lamme, Chair <br /> Linda L.
