The PLDC is now completing a public comment process in which it is addressing questions and misconceptions <br /> expressed at community meetings held statewide. We believe this process should be given a chance to play out,as it <br /> is designed. Anything less would impede a process designed to ensure that every voice is heard-not just the most <br /> vocal among us. <br /> We strongly support working with the PLDC and believe that positive economic impact for the people and State of <br /> Hawaii can result from public initiated projects. <br /> The PLDC will be having their next Board Meeting on October 11,2012. The agenda will include the request to <br /> approve the(1)PLDC Strategic Plan and(2)draft PLDC Administrative Rules that better communicate its mission, <br /> goals and parameters with regard to environmental,historic preservation and land use. Approval of the draft rules will <br /> allow the rules to go out for a public hearing,a minimum of 30 days after receiving Board approval. As these agenda <br /> items will be heard in October,we humbly ask that Resolution 303-12 be POSTPONED. This will provide the public <br /> with information on PLDC's Strategic Plan and draft Administrative Rules. <br /> Thank you for this opportunity to provide testimony. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Nolan G.Moriwaki <br /> Financial Secretary-Treasurer/ <br /> Business Manager <br /> Comm.
