I will <br />take this up with Parks and Recreation personnel and the Corporation Counsel to <br />see if this can be pursued or should be pursued by the County government. <br />I was very heavily involved in the designation of the Vacationland tidal pool area <br />for MLCD. It took several years to accomplish that. I did learn after failure of the <br />first attempt that communication with the public that is affected is a must before <br />this can proceed. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Harry Kim <br />Mayor <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
