Aloha Hawaii County Councihnembers,
I'm writing this letter in opposition to the nomination of Shane Vincent to the Leeward Planning Commission.According to the communication submitted by
Mayor Roth,the nominee is a fifty-year resident of Hawaii who has been involved as a project manager,development manager,business director,and project I
engineer for various businesses and residential projects.The letter also mentions that Mr.Vincent is interested in"promoting economic growth and development in a
I
Hawaii in a sustainable way." i
i
Unfortunately,due to Mr.Vincent's absence at the Planning Committee meeting where his nomination was first heard,we are unclear what Mr.Vincent means
by wanting to support sustainable economic growth and development.Like previous failed nominations to the Leeward Planning Commission Mr.Vincent represents
3
a special interest as his own company,Vincent Construction Management is closely tied to development and construction in the very region he would be making
recommendations and decisions on as a commissioner.
The mayor should consider putting forward nominees who do not have any conflicts of interest,whether actual or perceived.Land use decisions are
extremely important and they start with Mayor Roth making more responsible choices for nominations to our planning commissions.
Please vote NO on Communication 563.
Mahalo,
Erik Funakoshi
