Veterans Advisory Committee Page 3 August 15, 2013 2)Naming Of The Access Road Leading To Cemetery III Naming of the Access Road leading to Veterans Cemetery III “Ala Koa” English Translation “Trail of Warriors”. Council Member Karen Eoff stated that it was her understanding that the approval of this committee was first needed and if that happens she would take care of presenting it to County Council to name the road. Chairperson David Carlson said there have been discussions with the West Hawai`i members and the name they request is “Ke Ala Koa” which included a discussion with Angel Pilago to name it correctly. Member Wery stated that the correct context would be “Ke Ala Koa” to include “Ke” in front of the name. MOTION – Recommendation To Call The Entrance Road to Veterans Cemetery III – “Ke Ala Koa” Member Penny Fox made a motion that the committee recommend calling the entrance road to Veterans Cemetery III “Ke Ala Koa”. Member Wery seconded the motion. Chairperson Carlson asked for any discussion, there was none following the recommendation. All members voted in favor of the motion. Deputy Corporation Counsel Renee Schoen stated since this committee has approved recommending naming the road “Ke Ala Koa”, she will first confirm that it complies with the Hawai`i County Code as to the naming of streets and confirm with landowner “State” before the recommendation is sent to Council Member Eoff’s office to draft a Council Resolution. Council Member Eoff assigned Legislative Specialist Wendy Baez to work with Renee. Member Fox asked if it was necessary to amend the motion to state it is recommended pending the required approvals. Deputy Corporation Counsel responded that the motion is okay as it is and if any issues come up, it will be brought back to this committee. If there are none, the naming will proceed.
