Stacy Higa Chair and Members of the <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> June 1, 2006 <br /> Page -2- <br /> It is our strong desire to see the full $3 million allocation for the FY 07 year <br /> restored to this operating budget. After careful study and weighing these latest <br /> developments, our Commission has also unanimously voted to support the citizen effort <br /> to dedicate 2% of Real Property Tax revenue annually by ordinance to the Public Access, <br /> Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund. We believe that only through such <br /> a stable, dedicated funding source will our County gain the predictability needed to truly <br /> support the work of our Commission and seriously address the looming crisis local <br /> citizens face regarding land preservation in coming years. It is our hope that this Council <br /> will also support this petition to dedicate these funds should the issue come before them. <br /> Sincere y, n <br /> John plogle J~\jY <br /> Chai erson <br /> JR:cm <br /> <br /> -S:boards&comm.\public access\Itr to council re 2% & budget\6-I-06\JRcmm.doc <br /> <br />
