"WHEREAS, DOBOR (Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation] <br /> estimated that a percentage of the gross proceeds from lease revenues generated by its marina <br /> development project, when fully developed, would be sufficient to cover the debt service for most of the <br /> $250,000,000 in capital improvement project (CIP) funds needed to repair small boat harbors <br /> statewide...". <br /> In January 2006, the State legislative session began. <br /> <br /> In February 2006, the Planning Director proposed an interim General Plan amendment change the <br /> designation of the DLNR Honokohau land from Open to Urban Expansion. <br /> <br /> May 2006, all legislation introduced during the 2006 State legislature to bail out the BLNR and JDI died <br /> in committee (example attached, SB2853honokohau.doc). <br /> June 2006, Kona Council District 7 representative Virginia Isbell transmits Resolution 383-06 to the <br /> County Council in order to bail out BLNR and JDI. <br /> <br /> July 2006, Council Planning Committee passes Resolution 383-06 and Planning Director's Urban <br /> Expansion GP amendment. <br /> <br /> Not one public hearing has been held in Kona. <br /> Many of the "whereas" statements contained in Resolution 383-06 are not correct. <br /> <br /> I urge this Council to vote "no" on Resolution 383-06. <br /> <br /> Mahalo, <br /> <br /> Charles Flaherty <br /> P O Box 922 <br /> Captain Cook HI 96704 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 8/1/2006 <br />
