Independent 1lVlenaber -Nomination of Patriek Pavao
Patricia Engelhard asked the committee if they would like to nominate Patrick Pavao as
an Independent Member of the Veteran's Advisory Committee. Several members
expressed support for his nomination prior to his official retirement as the Veterans
Services Counselor. Pat Engelhard saw Pat Pavao recently and he said he would serve if
the committee wanted him to. Most members are assigned by various organizations to be
nominated, but there are a few unattached slots which if confirmed he could fill.
Mr. Pavao needs to complete and submit an application form, the Mayor will review
nomination and decide whether or not to submit to Council. The Hawaii County Council
would need to confirm his nomination.
Chairwoman De Silva asked if anyone would like to nominate Patrick Pavao to become a
member of the Committee.
Robert Pettit moved to nominate Patrick Pavao to fill an Independent vacancy on the
committee. Paul Johnston and VVendall Kekumu both seconded the nomination and the
committee unanimously approved his nomination.
Director Engelhard will proceed with the nomination by sending Mr. Pavao a copy of the
application form.
Pavilion Nall -Veterans Ceanetery I
~Mr. Denny Austen said that the pavilion wall at Veterans Cemetery I blocks the view of
the flagpole, band, presentation of the flowers, etc. during ceremonies. I-Ie wanted to
know what the possibility of removing that wall would be.
Pat Engelhard asked Engineer Nishimoto if he felt the wall could be removed without
affecting the structure. He responded that he didn't think it would be a structural
problem to remove the wall.
Director Engelhard suggested taking the cement in the wall and put it by the flagpole to
cover both projects. She will look at the wall removal suggestion and report to the
committee.
