i o our County Council Representative:
It has como to my /our attention that Mayor Yamashiro has advised the Board of
:)irectors of the East Hawaii Cultural Council that he is entertaining plans that
:,vuld preclude the renewal of the lease that that they currently hold on the Old
,'o!ice Station building when it terminates on December 31, 2000.
Over the years the Cultural Center building has hosted up to 15,000 visitors per
year to the galleries and workshops housed therein, in addition to providing a
Tome for the Hilo Community Players and the Big Island Dance Council and their
i - tdividual events.
il'we strongly object to the displacement of this organization. As our Council
::^presentative, please give serious consideration to the contribution this
: :rcanization has made to the community. They have completely renovated and
'ide use of a building that was once slated for destruction and provided a home
'r the arts in cur town.
