HI 96813 <br />Dear Chair Luke and members: <br />RE: HB 1200 <br />Making an Appropriation for a Feasibility Study and Plans <br />for a Swim Area in Pohoiki <br />I apologize for the lateness of this testimony, but I did want to offer short <br />comments in favor of 1-1131200. <br />The Puna district is approximately the size of the entire island of Kauai, and once <br />had the beautiful Kalapana area where our local children could learn to swim. Over the <br />years, Madame Pele has taken away a large portion of accessible shoreline, and left the <br />growing population of Puna with few safe swimming areas. <br />A feasibility study for a safe and accessible swimming site in Puna would be <br />most welcomed. <br />Ily submitted, <br />Harry I <br />Mayor <br />County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
