Dear Mr. Yoshimoto,
Yesterday our office received a filed (and unserved) copy of the complaint in West Hawai'i
Today v. County Council of the County of Hawai'i. In this complaint, the plaintiff's primarily
seek (1) a declaration by the Circuit Court that there was a Sunshine Law violation committed
by the Council at its June 16, 2009 meeting, and (2) a declaration by the Court that the
reorganization by the Council was void.
I feel obligated to inform you and your fellow Council members of the state of the current
lawsuit, my discussions with alP, and the possible consequences of the Council moving
forward with its business with the claims of the lawsuit not yet resolved.
May I respectfully request time at your July 22, 2009 Council meeting to meet with the Council
to address these issues and more importantly answer any questions Council members may
have.
Thank you in advance for considering this request.
