RESOLUTION:  Relating to the Use of Kahului Harbor

WHEREAS, many Kula and Upcountry residents depend on agriculture for their financial survival; and  

WHEREAS, Young Brothers has indicated that it intends to discontinue shipment of less

than full container loads and this action will adversely impact Kula agriculture and small businesses; and

WHEREAS, the SuperFerry is considering providing for less than full container loads; and 

WHEREAS, Kula residents and visitors value our rural lifestyle and natural environment; and   

WHEREAS Kula shares a border with the Haleakala National Park, home to numerous

endangered native plants and animals; and

WHEREAS many native plants and animals are found throughout Kula in cultivated and

natural areas; and 

WHEREAS, Kula’s natural environment, native species, and crops are vulnerable

to invasive plants and destructive insects; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by the Kula Community Association Board of Directors:

That a long-range Kahului Harbor plan and a Final Environmental Impact Statement

be completed prior to commencement of service of the SuperFerry; and

That issues related to less than container load shipments be addressed to provide

benefits to agriculture; and
