This is the third annual report from this new <br /> commission, and again the commissioners have invested much time and effort into reviewing the <br /> various parcels of land recommended by the public and developing a prioritized listing of lands <br /> and/or property entitlements for acquisition. <br /> <br /> As you will note on page 3 of the report, this year the commission chose not to include properties <br /> that already had resolutions passed by the Hawaii County Council authorizing the Director of <br /> Finance to enter into negotiations for acquisition. The commission's top five priorities for 2007 are <br /> described in Appendix 2 to the report. The 2007 comprehensive property list is shown in <br /> Appendix 7. <br /> <br /> Status of Authorized Land Acquisition <br /> <br /> The County Council has authorized the Finance Director to enter into negotiations to acquire a <br /> number of parcels identified in the 2005 and 2006 Annual Reports.
