Box 342 <br />Hakalau, HI 96710 <br />Re: Powers and Duties of the Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Dear Mr. Doolittle, <br />I am in receipt of your letter received on June 271h, requesting support to expand the <br />stated purpose and duties of the Veterans Advisory Committee (VAC). As stated in <br />your letter, the VAC is tasked with advising the county on matters strictly pertaining to <br />veteran cemeteries. In light of the many challenges faced by our veterans today <br />(homelessness, health care, unemployment, etc.), your request is well taken. <br />Pursuant to Hawai'i County Code section 15-64, I ask that the VAC expand the scope of <br />its current power and duties to include discussions of and make recommendations on <br />other veteran -related issues and concerns for the benefit of all veterans residing in our <br />communities. I look forward to your recommendations and report. <br />Thank you for time and commitment to serving on the Veterans Advisory Committee. <br />Sincerely, <br />Harry Kim <br />Mayor <br />k„. <br />c: J Yoshimoto, Deputy Corporation Counsel <br />County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
