<br /> FROM :LAULIMR PUNK GRRDEN FRX N[]. :SCAB 966-7421 Rpr. 17 2085 f~..:!$Pr1 P7. <br /> Date: April 18, 2005 <br /> - <br /> Memorandum to Mayor County Council Members = <br /> Committee on Finance <br /> Re: Bi1178, Relating to Establishment of Public Access, Open Space ani <br /> Natural Resources Preservation FundI'urchase of Open Space Land <br /> Please pass Bill 78 which would appmpriste approximately two percent per <br /> year of annual property taxe;a as a dedicated source of revenut for the <br /> purchase of land which would remain open and undeveloped. <br /> An initial expenditure if a good idea, but we will need a continuing source of <br /> funds if we are to preserve open space for future generations. We are <br /> experiencing extremely rapi<l development here on the Big Island and must <br /> move quickly to preserve open space for future generations. Passive or <br /> active enjoyment of open ]arid, natural habitats, waterways, flora and fauna <br /> are especially important here;, where many species are endangered and open <br /> space is "closed" or built upon at a rapid pace. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Virginia Aste <br /> 13-631 Leilani Avenue <br /> Pahoa, HI 96778 <br /> Comm.
