FROM: John Ray
SUBJECT: Attached Resolution Re: Hamak Lands Under County Ownership and Waiver
of Said Resolution from the Com~ittee on Finance to the Council
Attached please find a new resolution requesting the mayor to submit a revised plan of
disposition for the former Hamakua Sugar Company, Inc. lands now under county ownership. It
is my sense that a new resolution is appropriate and should be waived by the Committee on
Finance in order that appropriate action can be taken by the Council.
As you know, at the September 15, 1998 meeting of the Committee on Finance, members took up
consideration of my proposed amendment to Resolution 267-98 (Draft 2). Discussion that day
focused on forging consensus for a disposition plan incorporating elements of Resolution No.
267-98, submitted by Mayor Yamashiro on May 1, 1998, and Resolution No. 309-98, submitted
by Councilmember Dominic Yagong on August 17, ] 998, as well as testimony received from the
public at hearings held on August 27-28, 1998 in Captain Cook, Kona and Honokaa, respectively.
This prior discussion provides a foundation for the consideration of a newly drafted resolution,
and the new resolution reflects those changes and corrections proposed at the Finance
Committee's September 15'~ meeting. Moreover, a new resolution serves to preclude any legal or
procedural argument as to the validity of earlier Council action on Resolution No. 267-98, as
amended.
Thank you for your consideration of this resolution and recommended action to move forward in
a timely manner.
