Hulu Mamo Hawaiian Civic Club stands in strong support of Resolution 234-25.
Hulu Mamo Hawaiian Civic Club focuses on Aloha'Aina issues across the pae'aina, and we urge the
passage of this resolution, demanding the Armyto comply with the established processes and
requirements in order to receive any type of future land agreement for PTA. The state BLNR rejected the
FEIS that was previously submitted, as it was incomplete, and to allow any other type of transaction to
occur, including land swaps or lease renewals, would be to evade the established processes and
requirements and disregards the democratic process.
The opposition to renewing the PTA lease is long-standing and well-known. The many hours of testifying
and hundreds of written pages submitted when the FEIS was being reviewed shows how important of a
matter this is, and how lacking the previous efforts the Army has made has been. The abundance of
testimony also brought up countless environmental, health, and cultural concerns, that need to be
addressed in any future land agreement.
We urge you to pass this resolution, and stand with the community you represent, which have given
overwhelming opposition to the renewal of PTA's lease without a full and complete application, including
completing a Ka Pa'akai analysis, and allowing for public feedback.
Mahalo for your time,
Keoni Shizuma
Pelekikena, Hulu Mamo Hawaiian Civic Club
