County of Hawaii - State of Hawaii
Resolution
WHEREAS, the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) has announced
its decision to relocate its office from Hilo to Honolulu, in
compliance with the General Services Administration (GSA) policy
of using federal property whenever possible; and
WHEREAS, there is adequate unused space at the Hilo Federal
Building for the Hawaii State Office to use; and
WHEREAS, the expenditure of $150,000 to renovate the Hilo
Federal Building for its use is nearly one-half the estimated
$274,000 to move in toto to Honolulu and affects 17 full-time
residents; and
WHEREAS, the State Office was established here in Hilo in 1978
because this County was, and remains today, as, the largest
agricultural community in our State; and
WHEREAS, approximately 42 percent of the State's total FmHA
clientele reside here on the island, and thus, further supports
the necessity .that the FmHA office continue to operate in Hilo.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
HAWAII that it humbly requests the Farmers Home Administration to
reverse its decision to relocate its Hawaii State Office from Hilo
to Honolulu.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Hawaii
send copies of this Resolution to the Hawaii Congressional

Administrator Charles Shuman, and FmHA Hawaii State Director
