The Honorable Stacy Higa, Chairman
and Members of the Hawaii County Council
County of Hawaii
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Dear Chairman Higa and Councilmembers,
Thank you for the opportunity to express my wholehearted support for Mr. William Smith
as you consider his confirmation to serve as Deputy Clerk for the County of Hawaii. In
the more than 15 years that I have known Bill, he has consistently conducted himself
with the highest degree of integrity and professionalism as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney.
He works extremely hard to fulfill his responsibilities and, more importantly, strives to
produce the result that will ultimately best benefit our society. Similarly, as a neighbor in
Volcano for those many years, Bill clearly understands and demonstrates his
commitment to our Big Island community by having served in leadership positions with
the Volcano Community Association, the Neighborhood Watch Program and other civic
improvement organizations. He is, without question, dedicated to serving the public in
his professional career and within the community in which he lives.
On a personal level, Bill is a dear and close family friend to my entire family. We all trust
him without hesitation, willingly seek him out for counsel and advice and truly appreciate
his terrific sense of humor.
Chairman Higa and Councilmembers, it is for these reasons that I unequivocally support
the appointment of Mr. William Smith to the Deputy Clerk post and humbly request your
confirmation. Mahalo for your consideration.
Si~ rely,
RGGussell S. Kokubun
Senator, Second District
Comm. Ho. 1
