Mirelle Ellsworth worried about drought, and the possibilities of fires; also the water <br /> supply. Zendo assured us that not having enough water will not be a problem. <br /> Romeo Garcia was looking for opportunities for youth including vocational opportuni- <br /> ties, important for them to be able to stay in Hamakua. Zendo's Department is not <br /> working on that (education and health are part of the Plan but are addressed by other <br /> agencies);he suggested reaching out to the Mayor's office. <br /> Director Kern's closing remarks <br /> Zendo asked for our patience as he is still new in his position, and wants to absorb all <br /> the information he needs to be able to make good decisions. He likes dialogue, and has <br /> an open door. If he's made aware of problems he will address them. We may not al- <br /> ways be in agreement, but we all are coming from the same place of trying to do our <br /> part to make this wonderful place even better. <br /> Next steps <br /> Several groups agreed to spread the word about the AC meeting on July 1, and we hope <br /> many will work to make the HCDP a living document. <br />
