page two <br /> Letter in support of enforcement for existing sign law <br /> For prevention's sake, the County could offer public education; perhaps <br /> in the form of a brochure that explains sign rights and responsibilities. This <br /> device could be presented to business persons early on in their enterprise(s), <br /> i.e., upon application for a G.E. license, or upon leasing space, or at some <br /> other point in the start-up process. <br /> The Council is urged to take measures to ensure that future violations <br /> are prevented while existing ones are corrected. Clearly, the matter of <br /> enforcement needs to be addressed. <br /> Recently, you and I discussed this matter. I'm very grateful that you <br /> support better enforcement and have pledged to work towards it. <br /> Please note, however, that I am opposed to "reform" of the law. You <br /> mentioned that as an supplement to enforcement. NO! Reform would be <br /> wasteful, an abdication of the Council's role as good custodians of tax <br /> monies, unless adequate enforcement had been attempted and ruled out as <br /> effective. Since it has not, reform should not be considered. <br /> I appeal to the Council to make good planning decisions and provide <br /> for rigorous enforcement of sign legislation. As always, your efforts are <br /> appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Mary Lou Maberry <br /> <br /> cc: All members, Hawaii County Council <br /> <br />
