Subject: Strong Support of Resolution 234-25
Aloha Chair Villegas and members of the Policy Committee on Environmental and Natural Resource Management,
My name is Dorothy Zipp Malinski and I am urging the state to ensure the health and safety of Hawai'i Island residents by
requesting the military cease all bombing and desecration activities at Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA), reject land swaps
and lease renewals without strict stipulations, and conduct a full Ka Pa'akai Analysis of the area.
I ask for your support in approving Resolution 234-25, which sends a powerful message that Hawaii County stands with
its people —families, communities, cultural practitioners, and environmental stewards who have long raised concerns
about PTA's short- and long-term impacts.

Mahalo,
