Angel; Isbell, Virginia; <br /> counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Open Space and Natural Resource Ordinance: PLEASE HONOR THE WILL OF THE <br /> PEOPLE <br /> Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council, <br /> PLEASE PUT THE QUESTION ON THE BALLOT AND LET HAWAII COUNTY VOTERS DECIDE IN NOVEMBER TO <br /> MODIFY THE EXISTING Open Space and Natural Resources ORDINANCE BY MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: <br /> 1-To set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open Space and Natural resource acquisition and <br /> 2-to eliminate the limit of $5 million that can be held in the fund. <br /> WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO HONOR over 9,000 people who have signed this Petition. Citizens have been frustrated by <br /> conflicting instructions from the County as to the timelines and the stringent application of the arbitrary and ambiguous <br /> criteria that the County has imposed on this process. We ask the County to include signatures of voters that: <br /> 1- forgot to write the st. ave. or highway suffix as part of their residence addresses <br /> 2- forgot to put the year 2006 in the date column. <br /> Both of these criteria are clearly implied. We believe that the County should be using petition information to qualify <br /> signatures not looking for insignificant reasons to disqualify voter's signatures. <br /> Please put the question on the November 2006 Ballot now! Let democracy decide the future of our Island, not <br /> beauracrats, developers, and large corporations. <br /> Aloha, <br /> <br /> <br /> Creighton M.
