are currently serviced by non-County owned large capacity cesspools, and will consist of
performing a study, design, and construction of a sewer collection and septic system.
Mr. Jerome Warren, a homeowner in Na`alehu, urged the Council to conform to the agreement
made by the Mayor in 2004. Deputy Corporation Counsel Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd explained
that the letters from the Mayor to the residents, dated August 31, 2004 and November 5, 2004,
were conditional upon certain assumptions made at that time. Further, in order for the Mayor to
perfect the agreement, the Council would have to approve any agreements with the community.
Pursuant to Section 10-6(d), Hawai`i County Charter, the Council may amend the Capital Budget
for that year with a two-thirds vote.
FC REPORT NO. 174
