Subject: Communication No. 46 Appointment of Wesley Segawa as Director of the
Department of Environmental Management
Dear Hawaii County Council Members,
My husband and 1 are pail of the Puako community which has donated $2.5M and countless
volunteer hours over the past decade to save Puako Reef by implementing a sewer system in Puako.
NOW is the time, and I HlS is the administration that can make it happen. I support the confirmation
of Mr. Sagawa as DEM only if he commits to partnering with the Puako community, the Puako for
Reefs organization, and the many partners it has developed through the years, to implement a sewer,
system in Puako during his tenure.
Sincerely,
Julie Kai Barreto
