Honolulu Ethics Commission

715 South King St. suite 211

Honolulu, HI 96813

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I wish to submit this letter as my formal complaint against the following people:

1. Ms. Patty  Kahanamoku Teruya, Special Events Coordinator, and   
2. Mr. Andrew Jamila, a current member of, and candidate for reappointment to, the City and County of Honolulu Planning Commission.  

            More specifically, I am concerned that Mr. Jamila has received grant money from the City and County of Honolulu's Leeward Coast Community Benefits Program for his nonprofit organization, "The Waimanalo Construction Coalition," and that Mr. Jamila failed to disclose this fact on his personal information form he submitted for reappointment to the Planning Commission.  

        I believe that the acceptance of this grant taints Mr. Jamila's ability to render unbiased decisions on matters heard by the City Planning Commission.  I am also concerned that Ms. Patty Teruya, who is employed by the City as Special Events Coordinator with the City Department of Customer Services, is a board member (Secretary) of the "Waimanalo Construction Coalition," and also serves on the committee that selects or processes grant proposals for the City and County of Honolulu's Leeward Coast Community Benefits Program.

         In addition, I would like to include in this complaint the unethical behavior of Ms. Patty Teruya in  another matter, where she serves as a board member of the  nonprofit organization "Friends of Kapolei Hale," which received a grant from Honolulu's Leeward Coast Community Benefits Program.

Thank you,

Carroll Cox
