Dear Council Chair Yoshimoto and members of the Honolulu City Council:
Re: Consideration and Confirmation of Bobby Jean Leithead Todd as Director,Department of
Environmental Management
Thank you for the opportunity to express my views on the above-referenced applicant. I support the
appointment of Bobby Jean Leithead Todd as the Director of the County of Hawaii's Department of
Environmental Management(DEM).
Bobby Jean is a proven administrator that can handle the most complex issues that come before her.
Having already served as the Deputy Corporation Counsel assigned to DEM as well as the Director of the
Department has given her the necessary background to address the myriad issues facing the County with
respect to environmental management.
The combination of her prior experience in the Department and background as an attorney clearly provides
Bobby Jean with the necessary professional credentials to manage this Department. As importantly, her
extensive administrative experience provides her with the ability to deal with regulators, employee unions,
and the public, all of which are critically important to the running of an environmental management
department.
I believe Bobby Jean will be fair and reasonable in balancing the many competing interests with respect to
issues facing the department. With her background, commitment and character, I cannot think of more
qualified candidate for this appointment.
Please support his confirmation.
Sincerely,
William L. Moore, President
