Agenda Item: Order of Resolutions
Resolution 308-12 (Draft 2)
Dear Mr. Yagong and Council members:
I support approval of Resolution 308-12 (Draft 2) authorizing the initiation of eminent
domain proceedings by the Corporation Counsel to acquire easements for beach access at
Papa'ikou. Through our government, citizens should perpetuate, manage and improve our
access to the coastline, particularly the valuable Papa'ikou recreational and fishing
resource. The landowners have attempted to limit and control coastline access.
As a hiker, kayaker and bodyboarder who recreates on the Hamakua coast and as recreational
user of the ocean at Papa'ikou, I believe that acquisition of these easements is important
for our children and generations to come as well as four ourselves.
Thank you for your consideration of my testimony,
Sincerely,
Deborah Ward
