Subject: Support for Bill # 3 ;
April 20, 2011
Dear Hawaii County Council Members:
I would like to urge your support for Bill #331 that would authorize a $56 million bond issue to fund
infrastructure projects across our island. While all of the proposed projects to be funded through this bill are
important to our island's economy and infrastructure, I am particularly concerned about the repairs needed for
the sewer main under Kalanianaole Avenue and the Kapiolani extension project in Hilo.
A sewer main break that could dump sewage into Hilo Bay would be devastating for not only tourists visiting our
island, but also for the thousands of residents who actively use the area for recreational purposes. Furthermore,
the environmental devastation from such an occurrence would end up costing taxpayers considerably more than
the cost of pro- active repairs. The Kapiolani extension will open up access to additional lands that will enable
the continued growth and expansion of the UHH campus. UHH's impact on our island's economy has continued
to grow, even during economic downturns, and we need to support their efforts in whatever ways we can —
their success becomes Hawaii County's success.
Thank you for your support.
Aloha,
Carol A. VanCamp
