e_ No. 1895: OLD POLICE STATION (Rec. 1/RTC-63)
From Mayor Matayoshi dated May 26, 1976, responding to
inquiry on the administration's plan for the old police
station property on Kalakaua Street. List five alternatives
being considered for the property and informs that with
exception of alternatives 3 and 5 all others require
considerable expenditure of public funds to implement.
Because of their desire to be very selective on new capital
improvements projects and to assure that the alternative
recommended to the Council would contribute toward
improving the viability of downtown Hilo, seeks concurrence
of the Council in holding any action on the property in
abeyance until a financial impact analysis can be made on
each of the alternatives.
Recommend administration
concentrates its efforts
on alternatives 1, 2 . or 3
in their plans for the
former police station site.
