We are concerned with the following issues: <br /> (1) The Council's sentiment appeared to be leaning toward installing the sewer <br /> collector as planned, but not require immediate hook-ups by the residents. ]f this <br /> is the case, please be advised that grant funds cannot be used for the extension; a <br /> dry sewer collector would not meet the criteria for a facility which is "modest in <br /> size, design, and cost." <br /> (2) ]f the xaapoko extension is not necessary at this time, it should not be <br /> constructed as part of this project. The County can still reapply for loan and grant <br /> funds from the Rural Utilities Service when and if the extension is deemed necessary. <br /> Although the Resolution was not passed, a comment about reconsidering the issue at a later <br /> date was expressed. Accordingly, we would like to make you aware of our observations at <br /> this time. <br /> 1f you have questions, please call Ted K. Matsuo, Rural Utilities Program Director, at (808) <br /> 933-3009. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> FRANCIS J.
