Subject: OPPOSITION Reso 568-20
Reso 568-20:AUTHORIZES THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE
STATE OF HAWAII, PURSUANT TO HAWAII REVISED STATUTES 46-7, FOR A GRANT TO THE COUNTY OF
HAWAI'I
My name is Deborah Ward, and I am opposed to Resolution 568-20.The state should reimburse the County for expenses
related to its unwarranted demand in 2019 that I-Iawai County devote limited resources to the harassment of citizens driving
between Hilo to Kona,under the pretense that there might be safety issues with regard to peaceful civil assistance at the
Mauna Kea access road,which is NOT under the jurisdiction of the County or the State at this.time. Please change this
resolution in its current form to specify the exact amount of reimbursements for the period up to December 31,2019 ONLY-as
it is directed on the resolution itself.Do not propose future reimbursements,and do not make nebulous commitments to future
use of County funds to further enforcement actions. Council members,I trust that you will be fiscally
and statutorily responsible!
Thank you!
