The General Plan calls for the formation of Action Committees, which are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the County Council. The South Kohala Action Committee will consist of 9 members who reside in the South Kohala district. The purpose of the committee member is to be a proactive, community based steward of the SKCDP's implementation and update. It is my pleasure to inform you that I have appointed the following individuals to the newly created South Kohala Action Committee: 1, Michael Fischer (4-year term) was a former administrator with Parker School in Waimea and is retired from the legal profession, where he represented both national and international business firms. Michael has lived in South Kohala for 7 years and his family has been working in health care services in the district for approximately 40 years. He has served on the Board of Directors for the Kohala Ranch Community Association and Fairways at Mauna Lani Homeowners Association and served on the Focus Group that produced the Waik610a Portion of the SKCDP. Michael is a strong believer in community partnering with government and feels that the Action Committee (AC) should work to ensure that the values and desires expressed in the SKCDP are respected and fostered. 2. Margaret Horwatt (4-year term) is a 20-year resident of South Kohala and an active member of her community. She graduated from the American/Asian Institute of Chinese Medicine and has practiced acupuncture and massage therapy in Waimea for over 20 years.
