Dear Director Engelhard:
In your letter 2/28/01 you requested written concurrence from the adjoining properties to
the Combined Veterans Center (CVC) property. At incl. 1- 4 enclosed, you will find the
written concurrence and approval. The University of Hawaii, Hilo Campus is especially
anxious for this facility to be build, so the two organizations can start with collaboration
of programs such as extension courses, and Student Nurses on the Job Training in the
CBOC. There are also several other programs available.

and Regional Office Center (VAMROC) in Honolulu, Hi., for a Hilo, CBOC. We feel
that we can offer a very competitive Bid, as compared to the Private Sector, when
considering price per foot as lease/rental property, thereby generating a significant annual
cost savings to Veterans Affairs.
EXHIBIT C
There is also the possibility of leasing floor space to the State of Hawaii for the Office of
Veterans Services (OVS). Generating a substantial cost saving to the State of Hawaii.
The AARP has expressed a desire for floor space, and VFW needs space for an Hawaii
Island Service Officer, this concept will put all Veterans Facilities in one location for
convenience to VA, the State of Hawaii, Service Officer, Travel coordination and pick up
of Veterans, and most importantly the Veterans and their families.
The Veterans Hall will be utilized for Veterans Group activities, meeting place, and the
Public may make use of the facility for Receptions, Conventions, Seminars, and Reunions
for a reasonable fee per function. There will be little or no charge to Seniors, Youth,
and Veterans Groups for day time Programs.
Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial Inc., feels the CVC will be very self-sufficient, and a
definite asset to the community, with no burden to the County of Hawaii for Operation
and Administrative costs. Thank you very much.

Dear Lt. Col. Montague:
I was delighted to learn of your plan to develop a Veteran's Center adjacent to our campus on
Kawili Street.
This will be a valuable asset to our community and an appropriate venue through which crucial
services and appropriate recognition can be provided to the many veterans living on the Big
Island.
I look forward to talking with your organization about the possibility of developing collaborative
programs between the Veterans Center and the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
I wish you every success in this important venture.
Sincere ,

Dear Mr. Montague,
The Church of the Holy Apostles is happy to support the Veterans Center Project.
It is our hope you will try to incorporate, in your landscaping design, the existing
large trees on your property which were spared during the most recent bulldozing
by the County. We are especially concerned with the kukui nut trees bordering the
church property.
Sincerely,
