This has been an ongoing issue, especially for the Keaukaha community in Hilo, and really <br />should be remedied. As can be seen from SB 897, the investment is small, but apparently it has <br />never quite made the priority list of the Administration. <br />Please act favorably on SB 897. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Harry Ki <br />MAYOR <br />i <br />County of Hawai`i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
