Attached are three PDF files for the review of interested Committee members. The first document is the recent letter received from DW S regarding facilities charges due for 6 units related to property use (five far the Church, one for the Pastor's residence). There is one remaining unit allocated to the property that is not presently being used. The second and third documents are correspondence between the Church and DWS dating to March 2009. The seven units of water allocated to the property are referenced and/or discussed in these documents as well. Further affinnation of the available units can be obtained from inquiry to the Department of Water Supply. For the record, it should be noted that the Church offered to pay for the water commitments for all seven units (even though units to be used was not yet determined) last October. DW S declined the Church's offer, which was made verbally to Jason Killam (961-8070, ext. 249). Alternatively, we offered to pay the facilities charges for the four units we then believed would be required for the Church property, as a good faith deposit toward the actual charges, if different. Again, our offer was refused by Mr. Killam. We have received no verbal or written request from DWS for payment of the commitment fees. However, as we explained during the hearing, we expect to pay the facilities charges within the next week, which we understand is a de facto payment of the commitment fees. We are ready to proceed with turn lane construction as soon as DPW issues the permit to work in the right-of--way. Thank you for this opportunity to provide information which we believe will explain some of the background on the water unit issue. We look forward to receiving notice of the Council hearing where Bill ] 01 will be considered. Mahalo Nui Loa, Gary Summers, Assistant Pastor Grace Community Church (808) 345-4300 Cell Comm.
