Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred
Resolution 385 -10, reports as follows:
Resolution 385 -10, transmitted by council member Kelly Greenwell, via Communication
No. 926, dated August 25, 2010, urging the Mayor and Administration of the County to explore
the potential of leasing Coutny land to the West Hawai`i branch of the Hawai`i Island Humane
Society (HIHS).
Kelly Greenwell expressed the benefits that could be realized should the County Administration
act as suggested. Council member Pete Hoffmann wondered if this resolution includes
guidelines for adding Capital Improvement Project funding for expansion of the Humane Society
facilities. Mr. Greenwell commented that the Humane Society would be responsible for
fundraising and expanding their own facilities.
Frank DeMarco, the newly appointed Director of Environmental Management, was present and
he explained the role and future plans for the County Green Waste facility, also adjacent to the
property in question.
Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations is in accord with the purpose
and intent of Resolution 385 -10 and recommends its adoption.
