The Big Island drug court program was established in October <br /> 2002 and has proven to be successful. <br /> <br /> Due to the short time frame, I would like to have this matter waived from Committee and <br /> placed on the next Council agenda scheduled for May 20, 2009. <br /> <br /> JY/dwe <br /> Attachments <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
