Distingirished Hawaii County Council Members: '
First I would h7ce to commend each of you for choosing to rsepresent the best
interest of the citizens of the County of Hawaii. I'm sorry I could not strand
this marniag's ceremony. Our school has always arjoyed a very positive
relationship with the County and we sincerely appreciate t>ae support.
Recently we have been working with the Plawning Department to involve
our students with the "Envision Downtown Hilo 2025" project. We feel
fortunate to live in a community that is willing to listen to the ideas of
children in defining a vision for the litture.
On June 3, 2003 Connections signed a SeWement, Release and
Indemnification Agreement with the Department of Education. Our school
was represexited by Mr. David Frankel in our dispute. Mr. Frsnlcel worked
diligently for a year and a half to address our issues. The final outcome was
a tn"bute to Mr. Frankel's excellent research skills and professional
negotiating abilities. I would like to highly recommend Mr. Frankel for the
Legislative Auditor position. The County of Hawaii is indeed fortunate to
have a candidate of such high caliber willing to serve in this vital position.
S' c;erely,
~.,~G
