Aloha!
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before the Hawaii County Council's
Committee on Finance on Wednesday, September 3, 2003.
Dixie Kaetsu
Managing Director
Peter. L. Hendricks
Deputy Managing Director
I understand that Communication No. 322 (Res. 93-03)(Bill 138) relating to the
acceptance of $10,000 for the Hawaii Island Meth Summit and Communication
No. 323 (Res. 94-03) (Bill 139) relating to $300,000 for an Adolescent Treatment
Program and $100,000 for a Community Anti -Drug Fund will be heard at 9 a.m.
I am providing copies of HB 1603 and HB 1604 as background for the request for
the adolescent treatment program and for the community anti-drug fund. I am
also providing power point presentations from Meth Summit I and Meth Summit If
in addition to a power point presentation giving an overview of Hawaii County's
Meth Initiative. I am hoping that this information might provide some background
as to both the origins of these monies and the overall effort to address this
problem in our Island community. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to
give a brief overview of the effort prior to questions if it would be helpful.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony in support of Hawaii
County accepting these funds to address the problem of crystal
methamphetamine or ICE on our Island.
Sincerely,
Billy Keno
Comm. iso.23.

7 in Hawaii county, in grades six, eight, t4=n, and twelve have
8 used drugs and engaged in risky behavior or committed crimes

10 impetus for Hawaii county to seek fedeFal assistance through the

12 However, federal assistance alone will not solve the crisis
13 and epidemic currently affecting children, families, and
14 communities_ The only hope to eliminate this threat is for
15 every level of government to do its part and for each community

17 of the unique challenges posed by a population of approximately
18 one hundred forty thousand spread out over four thousand twenty -
