SOUTH HILO: A. JOB NO. 98 -705, HONOMU EXPLORATORY WELL: The Board considered a request from the contractor, Water Resources International, Inc., for a 123 - calendar day time extension.

ACTION TO MOVE UP AGENDA ITEMS In the interests of those present today, Mr. Tanaka asked that the Board move up Agenda items "South Kona - Ka`u Water Master Plan" and "United States Geological Survey Drilling Program." ACTION: Mr. Wilkins so moved; seconded by Mr. Goya and carried unanimously by voice vote. KA`U: A. SOUTH KONA — KA`U WATER MASTER PLAN: Mr. Andrew Levin of the Mayor's Office gave a brief history leading up to this plan. The Legislature appropriated funds to plan a well in Ocean View in 1998, largely the successful work of Representative Bob Herkes. Unfortunately, Governor Cayetano never released that funding; and it lapsed in 2000. Thereafter, the Ocean View Community Development Council ( OVCDC) approached the County Administration and started talks about the Community Facilities District (CFD). Mayor Kim indicated support of the community in its efforts in the CFD process. When that effort failed, the OVCDC approached the Mayor; and based on that discussion, it was the Mayor's suggestion that rather than focusing strictly on a well for Ocean View, it would be more appropriate to look at the entire southwest quadrant of the Big Island, which is without water from Page 5 of 25 4- 27 -04min (Ocean View).doc
