COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
DATE: June 22, 2010 Re: Comm. No. 769
PLACE: Hawai`i County Building
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawai`i 96720
TIME: 9:10 A.M.
Council Chair and Members
Hawai`i County Council
Hilo, Hawai`i 96720
Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred
Communication 769, reports as follows:
Communication 769 transmitted on March 25, 2010, from Mayor Billy Kenoi, nominates
Mr. Duane Hosaka of Council District 2 to the County of Hawai`i Transportation Commission.
This nomination was first heard by Your Committee on May 5, 2010. Mr. Hosaka was present
and members spoke in support of his appointment. However, due to incorrect information on the
agenda regarding the appointment, County Clerk Kenneth Goodenow recommended
postponement. Your Committee unanimously approved postponement of the matter until
May 18, 2010.
On June 22, 2010, the nomination was heard again. Mr. Hosaka was not in attendance, but
Councilmember Dominic Yagong again spoke in support of his good character. Corporation
Counsel Lincoln Ashida stated there were no known conflicts of interest given Mr. Hosaka's
connection with County Civil Defense. Mr. Hosaka recently served on this same Commission,
and he is anticipated to continue in good stead.
Because Mr. Hosaka was in attendance on May 5, 2010, his presence is not required at final
confirmation before the full Council.
Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations is in accordance with the
purpose and intent of Communication 769, and recommends his appointment.
