As a 20-year"upper" Puna resident, I support the comments made by Judi Houle, Puna Neighborhood Watch Coordinator and Hawaiian Neighborhood Watch Coordinator. I especially support the comments related to improving services to Puna in all areas related to public health and safety, including aspects of physical and digital connectivity improving access to jobs, education, and health care services. Puna residents are increasingly mobilizing to aid various County departments in carrying out their responsibilities. Neighborhood Watch leaders and voluneers, ham and CB radio operators, CERTS volunteers, and other subdivision groups will be greatly aided if the suggestions of Judi and other Puna community leaders are incorporated. We acknowledge and appreciate the current efforts of our Council representatives to do whatever they can to improve the quality of services in Puna and to facilitate the contributions of residents promoting connectivity.
