Hearings were held on this faulty Revision but Draft 1, without any of the changes <br /> asked in those hearings, is now being rushed to passage. It is common knowledge <br /> that passing this Draft will ignore not only the law but the public presentations <br /> during the late hearings. Again, what is going on here? <br /> Honored Members of this County Council, do not begin your new term with a trick. <br /> It is a cruel hoax on the public. Do not endorse a plan that is illegally derived. A <br /> county worker asked me within this week about those illegal actions? "Where are <br /> the penalties," he asked. The penalty, in this case, will be your embarrassment when <br /> the first court of law that sees this act throws it back with the order, "Begin again." <br /> You constitute a new body so I gently request of you that you do the right thing. <br /> Ignore this failure of the past. Send this document back to the Director of Planning <br /> with the clear instruction that existing Ordinance 89-142 Section 6 on revision is to <br /> be obeyed. In obeying the law, use what the public has presented and hear the public <br /> again before re-writing. <br /> In seriously studied testimony heard during hearings on this Revision the most <br /> frequent concept was, "Take it back. Begin again." That seemed to echo in the <br /> public hearing last night. <br /> "Begin again" is the only action that makes sense for this body of the County <br /> Council. You will learn it is the only worthy way to serve the constiruents of your <br /> district! There is nothing in Draft 1 to make your districts better. Don't allow the <br /> lack of positive requirements for county action to continue as an opportunity for <br /> error and graft. Return authority for the furure of our island to our citizens. <br /> Thank you and I'll be happy to accept any questions. <br /> <br /> Bill Eger Page 3 1/4/2005 <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
