I have organized the working group, and <br /> meetings are set to begin soon; thus, the working group will need a few months to <br /> develop recommendations specific to the future of Mauna Kea. <br /> On behalf of the working group, I ask that the Draft Environmental Impact <br /> Statement (EIS) incorporate the working group's recommendations as additional <br /> alternatives to those identified in the EISPN. Please do not issue the Draft EIS until <br /> these recommendations have been presented. Thank you. <br /> Sii tcer7. <br /> Ha <br /> r�ryf <br /> Mayor <br /> c: Jim Hayes, Planning Solutions, Inc. <br /> 711 Kapi'olani Blvd., Suite 950 <br /> Honolulu, Hawai'i 96813 <br /> County of Hawm',is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
