MEMORANDUM
TO: Stacy Higa, Council Chair
and Council Members
Hawaii County Council
PROM: James Y. Arakaki, Alternate Vice Chair
Hawaii State Association of Counties 4".
SUBJECT: Nomination of an Officer and Alternate-to the Hawaii State Association
of Counties (HSAC) Executive Committee for Fiscal Year 2006-2007
As the appointed alternate, I attended the HSAC Executive Committee meeting held on
March 20, 2006, on behalf of HSAC Vice Chair Stacy Higa. At that meeting, I was asked
to recommend a Council Member from Hawaii County to serve on next fiscal year's
IISAC Executive Committee. Therefore, after first consulting with Vice Chair Higa, I
recommended that he should continue to represent Hawai'i County. In addition, I would
like to request that I remain as the alternate until December of this year, and that the
second alternate be Council Member Donald Ikeda.
Due to the time constraints for Council approval, I would like to request that this matter be
waived to the full Council scheduled for April 5, 2006.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me.

general membership at the June 2006 General Membership meeting for final approval.
Your favorable consideration of this request would be appreciated.
