First, I don't know Zendo Kern. He is probably a nice guy. But just being a nice guy does not qualify you to
run a Fortune 500 company nor relieve you of your obvious conflicts of interest in this case. Zendo is so
obviously unqualified for this post by simply looking at his resume. He also has a real, serious conflict of
interest with a significant project that has controversial components that is currently before the Planning
Department. This project will affect all of West Hawaii's future development and requires unbiased control
from the Planning department from an impartial Director. This will result in constant bad press and reflect
directly on the entire council if Zendo is making controversial decisions in favor of his recent boss. Please
avoid this by rejecting this appointment and appointing a qualified, impartial, free of conflicts, planning
Director.
thank you,
Jim Hall
