It would be super awesome if our council members circled back to that subject to find out from the administration that recently kicked the transit administrator to the curb, what is up?! We still have people waiting for the Hele-On bus in the hot sun and pouring rain. We still have our youth taking Hele-On bus to their charter school in Pahoa. The problems with public transportation haven't gone away,just because the bureaucrats seem to be on island time. Wasn't a million dollars allocated for the lease of the Aguinaldo property at the corner of Highway 130 and Pahoa-Kapoho Road(Highway 132). At one point in time, we the public showed up at a committee and Council meetings and pushed for this. The Council majority approved this, or was that a figment of my imagination? Where is the Pahoa Bus Hub? What's the deal? A little public accountability on this would be nice. \mAin/ aloha Pronouns: she, her, hers (See: mypronouns.org to learn more) Comm. No. Ref. To: Vmnol vf-(A-) Ref. toia_ 1 1 i From: Tiffany Edwards Hunt Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2021 11:08 AM To: Roth, Mitch D; Council Testimony; Parks and Recreation external email Subject: No Junior Lifeguard Program this year? Add my name to the list of disappointed parents and constituents that, with a $600 million budget, we couldn't spare any funds for our youth Junior Lifeguard Program this summer. The people sitting there crunching numbers in Parks and Recreation must have forgotten that our youth have had one of the most challenging years of their lives and any and all opportunities for recreation this summer should have been made available to them. I profoundly disappointed that our county officials have lost sight of our community's priorities: our kids. \mflm/ aloha Pronouns; she, her, hers (See: mypronouns.org to learn more) i
