Dear Councilmember/Hawaii County: DaTe,._.._._.-jl-Z/3-7__.__..__.._......
County Council
I am a supporter for an updated adequate gym facility to
reo_lace the Kawananakoa Hall in Reaukaha. The Kawananakoa Hall
is not an adequate qym facility due to its antiquated,
substandard size.
The youth & public sector of several surrounding communities
as well as the host community are being ill served, and neglected.
These communities are Waiakea Houselots, Keaukaha, Leleiwi, and
Panaewa. Other homeless native communities are Radio Bay, King's
Landing, and Onekahakaha Heach.
Historically, the County of Hawaii has benefitted directly
since Statehood from Hawaiian Homes Lands use and cooperation in
the South Hilo area (i.e. Keaukaha/Panaewa). Real property taxes
(business & residential), real property easements for sewerline,
sewer plants and water; these are all some direct benefits. Also
indirectly, the disintegration of the original Keaukaha-Panaewa
Subdivision into two distinct communities due to effected commercial
business leases and the State Hilo Airport (including the now
completed II phase Prince Kuhio Associates Development - WalMart,
etc.) has also provided real benefits/dollars to our Hilo area,
Hawaii Island, s County government.
Has this been a equitable exchange for the children & members
of these communities of generations past, present, & future? Our
island population is quickly doubling. Recreational facilities are
outdated and extremely overused. The number one (#1) used facility
on the Island of Hawaii should be made new. Final passage of this
bill would definitely give credence to our County leading the way
towards this end.
I hope your leadership in this matter will be positive. Thank
you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact
me at 808-961-8732 if you have any questions or need information on
this matter.
Sincerely,
