COUNTY COUNCIL IN HILO
BILLS FOR ORDINANCES (FIRST READING) J
RE: 46.BILL 60 Proposed Operating and Capital Budget-Public Works
47.BILL 61 Capital Improvements Project Budget for the County-Public Works
IN_FAVOR-_A_ mendment to increase to $1,000,000 MAPPING FOR NORTH KONA and HILO -MAKING
SEPARATE DESIGNATION OF $500,000 FOR NORTH KONA AND $500,000 FOR HILO
Dear Chairman Hoffmann and Council Members,
I am writing to encourage the County Council to Amend the Budget for Public Works (Bill 69 or 61, whichever
applies) to increase the present
allocation of Mapping Money to $1,000,000, designating $500,000 to Hilo and $500,000 for North Kona.
As you may recall, I testified on March 19 to the Finance Committee regarding this issue on behalf of Kona Soil and
Water District Directors who support this increase. As I stated in my testimony in March "The FEMA mapping in
North Kona is from 1984. As we know, there is much development going on and we have recently had run-off and
flooding problems in the Waiaha Floodway area of Holualoa."
Mahalo for your consideration of this important matter for our community.
Sincerely yours,
Ambika Kosada
