Members of the Hawaii County Council
County of Hawaii

Hilo, Hawaii 96720
re' RESOLUTION 80-99 CANCELLATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONDITIONS
Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members of the Hawaii County Council:
My name is Gary Duguran and I am a member of the ILWU Local 142, Hawaii Division living and working
here on the Big Island of Hawaii. I'm here today to ask you to vote "NO" on Resolution 80-99 which authorizes
the Mayor to cancel previous agreements regarding Affordable Housing Conditions pursuant to Ordinance
98-1.
This action is premature and has not been adequately researched. Today, we are faced with a tight County
budget as well as extensive monetary cutbacks to many worthwhile non-profit agencies in our County. In
addition, there are proposals to raise property taxes and initiate user fees to fund simple things such as
access to our County pools.
It is poor judgment to cancel the commitments and requirements that were promised to our community
through the re-zoning process, while our community and non-profit agencies continue to suffer our own
budget shortfalls.
I therefore ask for your vote on Resolution 80-99.
Thank you.
Sincerely, 17~ [,l
