Goodenow as the <br /> Deputy County Clerk <br /> Communication 163 (Resolution 69-07) <br /> This is an unsolicited letter in strong support of the confirmation of <br /> Kenneth G. Goodenow as the County of Hawai'i's next Deputy County Clerk. <br /> Kenny has been a member in good standing of the Hawaii State Bar <br /> since 2003. I first met Kenny approximately two years ago through our local <br /> Hawaii County Bar Association. My interaction at the time with Kenny was <br /> purely social (bar functions), as we did not have occasion to work with one <br /> another on any significant cases. Kenny always conducted himself in a gracious <br /> and respectful manner, and treated everyone with respect. He has a wonderful <br /> and warm personality; you can never tell if he is having a bad day. <br /> When Kenny joined the County of Hawaii as a Legal Specialist, our office <br /> worked very closely with him on a variety of legal issues. Kenny has very good <br /> legal talent. His research is thorough and he is a persuasive writer. On the legal <br /> issues where our office and he differed, Kenny always represented his office and <br /> the Council in a very professional manner, and worked with our office towards <br /> mutual understanding and compromise. <br /> In the event Kenny left the position of Legal Specialist, it was my desire to <br /> hire Kenny as a Deputy Corporation Counsel for our County. I believe Kenny <br /> would have been an excellent addition to our office team. <br /> Comm, No. ~ (o,'. ~ <br /> Ref.
