<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: Ashley Heard [heard@hawaii.edu] <br /> Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 2:48 AM <br /> To: cohmayor@co.hawaii.hi.us; Holschuh, Fred; Ikeda, Donald; Arakaki, James; Higa, Stacy; <br /> Safarik, Gary ; Jacobson, Bob; Hoffmann, Pete; Pilago, K. Angel; Isbell, Virginia; <br /> counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Big Island Land Fund <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! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ashley Heard abd Alike Ganir <br /> 20-7505 Kalaoa Camp Rd. <br /> Papaikou, HI 96781 <br /> July 13, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br /> 00 c <br /> <br /> W <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> C~ <br /> L~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
