County of Hawaii�State of awaiii
WHEREAS I the public safety and well-being of the citizenry
of the County of Hawaii are primary fundamental responsibilities
of the local government; and
WHEREAS, the various community associations of the Kalu district
have unanimously voiced their number one priority for the district --
the need for 24-hour public safety, both fire and police; and
WHEREAS, at the present time the communities of Pahala and
Naalehu are receiving fire protection coverage between the hours
of 12 noon to 8 p,m., only with two men being assigned to each
station; and
WHEREAS., the Ninth State Legislature has also recognized the
priorities of the Kalu district by appropriating $25,000 and
$75,000 for a Kalu fire station and Kalu public safety facility,
respectively; and
WHEREAS, the present police station is not even owned by the
County of Hawaii but by the State of Hawaii and is in deplorable
condition and inadequate space -wise; and
WHEREAS! Kalu Sugar is willing to provide a three-bedroom,
one -bath dwelling to be used as a temporary fire station at a
reasonable monthly rent until the permanent fire station has been
completed and, thus, we accept this offer so that the people of
Kalu may have immediately 24-hour fire protection.
WHEREAS, due to financial resource constraints, maximum utili-
zation of available resources are a must, thus., perhaps both projects
in the Kalu district should be combined to house both the fire and
police departments,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
HAWAII that it requests the Fire Department to analyze the manpower
requirements to assign the necessary staff to provide a 24-hour
fire station in the Kalu district with the consolidation of the
existing resources in Naalehu and Pahala.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it will not be necessary to assign
any high ranking personnel of the Fire Department as there are
none assigned at the present time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Hawaii
remit true copies of this resolution to the Honorable Herbert T.
Matayoshi, Mayor; Mr. Donald Thompson, Fire Chief; and Mr. Guy Paul,
Police Chief.
Dated at Hilo, Hawaii., this 2nd day of November, 1977.
