The Honorable Jarnes Arakaki
Chair, County of Hawaii

Deaz Chair Arakaki:
In a July 26, 19991etter, I provided an update to the Hawaii County Council on (1) the
Judiciary's plans for a new Judiciary facility in the Third Circuit Court, and (2) the issue of the
County renting a portion of the former J. C. Penney building to the Judiciary while we await die
design and construction of a new facility. I understand that subsequentl}~, the County Council
deferred until Wednesday, September 8, the issue of whether to authorize negotiations with the
Judiciary to least a portion of the J. C. Penney building.
I recently read an August 12, 1999 Hawaii Tribulle-Herald article in which Councilman <~azon
Chung is quoted as follows: "We,just don't have any idea what's going on. I would like to have
the Judiciary come to explain their intentions («~ith the 7C Penne}• building)." My hope in
sending the July 26, 19991etter was to provide sufficient information to the County Council prior
to its August 11 meeting when it considered the matter of the .Tudiciazy moving and temporarily
housing 1''amily Cottrt in a portion of the J. C- Penney site. However, based on the remarks
attributed to Councilman Chung, as well as questions which certain Council members posed to
Judiciary staff before and after the August 11, 1999 meeting, it appears that at least certnin
Council mcrnbcrs desire additional information from the Judiciary. I want to reaffirm that the
Judiciary wants to assist in answering any questions that Council members might haves Should
Council members wish. to discuss this letter, my July 26, 19991cttcr, or any related matter, they
or their staff should feel free to call Clyde Namu`o, Deputy Director, at 539-4902, or me at
539-4900. Again, we want to fully cooperate in providing requested information.
Yours very truly,
