Kaʻehu Bay land acquisition

Born and raised in Waiehu, he opposed the purchase, citing family burials in the area and his late cousin Henry Mayo, who held down the property for years.

Reading testimony for her cousin Charles Raposo, she said the church was given use of the land by aloha, never by deed, and the family opposes the sale.

Grandson of Henry Mayo Jr., he asked the council to verify the title is truly clear before spending public funds, continuing his grandfather's years-long fight over the land.

She argued the 1938 recorded instrument (Libre 1439, page 2802) is an indenture, not a deed as the title report describes, and asked the council to verify the original record before relying on it.

After a moment of silence for the Mayos, she described Henry Mayo's decades of possession of the property, burials there, and asserted the Lunalilo lands cannot be transferred, asking the committee to vacate the matter.

Companion of Scott Miller for 25 years, she said the parcel is sacred ʻāina with burials and living ancestral presence, not vacant land, and opposed the purchase.

He raised a Sunshine Law complaint: the December 26, 2025 title report and February 2, 2026 finance correspondence named on the agenda weren't hyperlinked for the public, and he filed a UIPA records request and plans an OIP complaint.
