The Hawaii Island Board of Realtors has been working on the revisions to the general plan
alongside your county employees from the beginning. We sponsored the refreshments at
most of the early workshops and public hearings that traveled around the island. We have President
testified, we have met with the planning director and the mayor. We have testified before Adele Eggel, R,CRS,GRI
the planning commission. President-Elect
Georgia "Gee" Callaway, R,GRI
We believe we need a plan, we encourage planning in the counseling we do with our
buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants. But it needs to be a good plan without bandaids. Vice President
Mary Begier, R,CRS
There is a viscious rumor going around that this council has said they are going to pass the
general plan so they can say they did within the first so many days of this councils Secretary
existence. I find that hard to believe. I have had the opportunity to work with many of you in Edith Crabb, R,CRS,GRI
different arenas and know you to be thoughtful, intelligent people who really care about our Treasurer
community so I think whoever started that rumor owes you an apology. Sharon Moffat, R,ABR,CRS,GRI
Thank you for this opportunity to share our views. Immediate Past President
