Mr. Robert E. Bethea, Chairman <br /> ' and Members of the Charter Commission <br /> June 27, 1989 <br /> Page Three <br /> STAFF <br /> The Agency members are supported by a staff of two. The <br /> manager is appointed by the members, serving at their pleasure. <br /> The primary responsibility of the manager is to administer <br /> the affairs of the Agency subject to the direction and approval <br /> of the members . The secretary is appointed by the manager <br /> subject to approval of the Agency members . Both staff members <br /> are exempt employees although the secretary has a Civil Service <br /> classification and negotiated wage rates are applicable. <br /> By design, the scope of redevelopment activity is limited <br /> to a specific area deemed to be deserving of special attention. <br /> In the case of the HRA, the area delineated in the DHRP contains <br /> 256 acres in comparison with Hawaii County' s 2 . 5 million acres . <br /> The duration of the Agency is dependent upon implementation <br /> of those projects in the DHRP ( Section 53-5 (1 ) , HRS) , therefore, <br /> it is not a permanent County organization. The Agency does <br /> receive advice and assistance from the County departments of <br /> Finance, Planning, Public Works as well as the Office of the <br /> S Corporation Counsel. Office facilities at the Hilo Armory <br /> are provided by the Department of Parks and Recreation. <br /> The opportunity to present information on the Hawaii Rede- <br /> velopment Agency to the Charter Commission is appreciated. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> GORDON H. NOBRIGA <br /> Manager <br /> GHN/dd <br /> • 450.3 <br />
