Angel <br /> Subject: Bill 246 <br /> <br /> Attn. County Council Chairman Higa and Council Members: <br /> As one who has lived and worked in Kailua-Kona for over 25 years. three years of which were focused on land <br /> and property development, it's way past time to simply an overly complex process and give the tools needed to <br /> the planning department. Greater efficiency should be one of the fruits of "serving the people", an oath and <br /> commitment which you all took. I support Bill 246 EXCEPT FOR the suggested changes in Sections 23-61 and <br /> 23-62 which have the efect of removing the time requirements for action by the Planning Director. In my opinion, <br /> extending decision making time frames does not work in the best interests of the public. The best government is <br /> the government that is most responsive to the greatest number of people being served. We need to bring <br /> ourselves out of the dark ages and put some new tools in our toolbox for stewarding the aina and I believe the Mr. <br /> Yuen's attempts to do this are laudable. <br /> Mark R.
