Dear Chairman Hoffmann and Council Members:
It is my pleasure to nominate Lani L. Bowman, of Council District 9 to the Hawai'i County Planning
Commission. Ms. Bowman is a lifelong resident of Hawai'i. She presently works as an AVID
(Advancement Via Individual Determination) tutor at Kohala Middle School. Ms. Bowman is also the
program coordinator of Kohala's Project Venture and the program coordinator of Healthy Foods Hawaii.
She has been involved in many planning efforts for North Kohala. Ms. Bowman states that she is a
Republican. If confirmed, Ms. Bowman will serve a term to end on December 31, 2012, replacing
Mr. William Graham, whose term will expire expire on December 31, 2007.
1 would also like to re-nominate Shelly H. A. Ogata, of Council District 3 to the Hawai'I County Planning
Commission. Ms. Ogata, 36-year resident of Hawai'i, is presently a loan consultant at Home Loan
Hawai'i.com, Inc. From 2003 to 2006, she was a loan processor at Pacific Mortgage and Loans.
Ms. Ogata is the current chairperson of the State Council on Mental Health, and is a member of the Child
and Adolescent Mental Health Task Force. Ms. Ogata states that she is not affiliated with any political
party. She is currently a member of this commission, serving out the remaining term of a previous

recent Charter amendment, Ms. Ogata is eligible for reappointment to another term after December 31,
2007. If confirmed, her new term will expire on December 31, 2012.
