The General Plan <br /> calls for the formation of Action Committees, which would be appointed by the Mayor <br /> and confirmed by the County Council. <br /> The resignation of one of the initial appointees compelled the Planning Department to <br /> identify and nominate an alternate who is eager to participate in the CDP process as an <br /> Action Committee member. We would appreciate your attention on this matter and are <br /> requesting that this item be waived from the Planning Committee and placed on the <br /> October 6, 2010 full Council agenda for discussion and confirmation of this individual. <br /> It is my pleasure to inform you that I have appointed the following individual to the Puna <br /> CDP Action Committee: <br /> 1. Gregory W. Braun (2 -year term) has resided in the Puna district for more than 37 <br /> years and is a respected local business man. He has owned and operated Asia <br /> Pacific Flowers, Inc. in Kapoho since 1979, employing up to 22 employees. Not only <br /> is Mr. Braun well versed and experienced in Puna's agricultural heritage, he has <br /> volunteered on a wide variety of agricultural related associations and community <br /> groups, including service as Vice -Chair of the Puna CDP Steering Committee. <br /> Mr. Braun's experience on the Steering Committee combined with his <br /> agricultural- business perspective and training in facilitation and problem solving will <br /> undoubtedly serve the Puna community and County of Hawaii well in the <br /> implementation of the Puna CDP. <br /> Council Action Due By: November 8, 2010 <br /> Last Council Meeting: October 20, 2010 f�rnt t o, S <br /> County of Hawai`i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. ref• Tos ((�fC,� <br /> Ref.
