Pursuant to Section 2 -218 of the Hawaii County Code, I am transmitting herewith my comments and recommendations on the Commission's 2013 Annual Report and updated Prioritized List. This year the Commission considered only properties submitted by the public in the 2013 Suggestion Forms when determining the 2013 Prioritized List. Their decision was based upon anticipated use, significance and benefit to the public and special opportunities available for acquisition and management. This year included in the annual report is the "Process for Property Acquisition with Funds from the PONC Fund" which provides information for the public and outlines the process in more detail. Also in the annual report is a "Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from 2006 - 2012" providing detailed information for past prioritized properties along with an updated Comprehensive List including what years the suggestion forms were submitted by the public which is sorted by tax map key and district. Summary of Authorized Land Acquisitions Through prior resolutions, the County Council has authorized the Finance Director to enter into negotiations to acquire a number of parcels since the establishment of the Commission. A list of the prior resolutions approved by the County Council is summarized below: Reso.

In addition, a total of $5,598,838.77 was obtained from state and federal grants towards these completed acquisitions. Below is a summary of each purchase and what has been done with the properties. Waipi`o Lookout, Hamakua The first purchase was completed in October 2007 for 1.8 acres, Tax Map Key (TMK): (3) 4 -8- 04:06 at the gateway into Waipi`o Valley, now formally designated as the Waipi`o Community Park for a purchase price of $900,000.00. Through a Parks Community Partnership Program Agreement, Friends of the Future (FOF) continues to manage and provide upkeep and maintenance on the property. FOF is working with the County to possibly expand their agreement and at some point include a means of generating revenue for the Waipi`o Education & Information Officer program. Also in the preliminary stages is a plan for a community charrette process using college students from the University of Washington and possibly the University of Hawaii for summer 2014. Kawa`a Bav & Kawa. Ka`a The second purchase was completed in January 2008 and involved one of four parcels (TMK: (3) 9- 5- 17:07) totaling 234.293 acres for a purchase price of $1,920,000.00. The County was able to supplement the sale with a $1,214,750.00 grant from the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP). The fifth purchase finalized in November 2011, was for the three remaining parcels (TMK's: (3) 9 -5 -16:06 & 25; 9 -5- 17:05) totaling 550.871 acres. The County, with the assistance of The Trust for Public Lands (TPL), obtained $1,500,000.00 from the State, DLNR LLCP along with $507,000.00 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Recovery Land Acquisition Grant towards the purchase price of $3,900,000.00. County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chair and Members of the Hawaii County Council February 20, 2014 Page 3 To contribute to the overall management plan, an Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey was completed in July 2013 to address the numerous historical and cultural sites within Kawa. Access remains limited to non- vehicular pedestrian traffic, open to the public from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. In addition the County is working with the families that own the Kuleana lands in Kawa along with a newly formed non - profit group of young men, Na Mamo O Kawa, who will be assisting with some maintenance in the area and possibly fish pond restoration. Kaiholena (North & South) & Pa`o`o. North Kohala The third purchase was finalized in January 2010 for four parcels (TMK's: (3) 5 -8- 01:11, 19, 20 & 24) in Kaiholena totaling 151 acres for $6,541,680.00. The fourth purchase, a second acquisition for 2010, was completed in October for 10.61 acres of coastal land in Pa`o`o. The purchase price was for $1,890,000.00 and partially funded by a $945,000.00 grant from the State, DLNR LLCP thanks to the efforts and assistance from TPL. The seventh purchase completed in June 2013 for three parcels (TMK's: (3) 5- 8- 01:21, 22 & 25) totaling 76.615 acres is an addition to the four north Kaiholena parcels referenced above. The acquisition cost of $3,991,000.00 was partially funded by a grant from the State, DLNR LLCP in the amount of $1,432,088.77. Kaiholena (north & south) and Pa`o`o continue to be periodically monitored and maintained by the many community groups in North Kohala. A Memorandum of Understanding also is in place between National Park Service and the County for the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, which crosses these properties. In addition, a $40,000.00 grant was recently awarded from the Hawaii Tourism Authority to Kohala Malama Kahakai which will benefit multiple projects in North Kohala including stewardship of these lands purchased by the FUND. KIyaua Park (formerly Kingman properties), North Kona The sixth purchase completed in February 2012, was for two parcels of land (TMK's: (3) 7 -7- 08:20 & 31) totaling 6.0117 acres for $3,220,000.00. Kipapa Park continues to provide much needed off street parking along with increased road and pedestrian safety in the area. The area is used on a daily basis by residents and visitors who frequent the nearby Magic Sands and Pahoehoe Beach Parks. In April 2013, the Hawaii Island Burial Council approved the Burial Treatment Plan to ensure that all identified burials located within the area are preserved and protected. Status of Funds — Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund For the benefit of the County Council, I have attached a summary of the FUND and all monies deposited and disbursed since its establishment. County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chair and Members of the Hawaii County Council February 20, 2014 Page 4 Management and Stewardship As the County continues to acquire properties with the FUND, long -term management and stewardship remains a concern of the Commission. With the creation of the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund, monies can now be used for maintenance of lands and easements acquired by the FUND for specified purposes as outlined in the Hawaii County Charter, Section 10 -16. In addition, once implemented by the Department of Parks & Recreation, non - profit organizations can apply for stewardship grants to assist the County in long -term management of these properties for continued preservation and open space protection. Recommendations Finally, as my formal recommendation in connection with what has been submitted by the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission, I would recommend that the County Council accept the list as presented by the Commission. The 2013 Prioritized List is as follows: Priority Number Property Description Tax Map Key(s) 1. Vacationland Land Trust /Hara (3) 1 -4 -02:22 & 51 Property 2. Niuli`i (3) 5 -2 -01:20 & 25 3.

The community came forward with some excellent properties for our consideration, from which the priority list was developed. In addition to a prioritized list of properties, which can be found on pages 1 -2, we have also included a considerable amount of information on our process, procedures, and on each property that we included on our final list. During the year -long process, many individuals from across Hawaii Island attended our meetings or submitted letters which exhibited a great deal of support for this program, which will enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors for generations. On behalf of the Commission, I would like to extend a warm mahalo to out -going commissioners Steven Hirakami and Searle Grace, for their time and dedication over the past years. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that, without the outstanding support of County of Hawaii staff, including Technician Alexandra Kelepolo, Deputy Corporation Counsel William Brilhante, and Property Manager Ken Van Bergen, our task would have been much more challenging. Thank you for your continued support for PONC funding, and for your time in considering our recommendations. Mahalo nui loa, MARILYN L. NICHOLS N Chair Haivai'i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Commissioners: Gail Byrne Baber; Timothy DeLozier, Enock Freire; Searle Grace; Debbie Hecht, Steven Hirakand, Wilma Matsumura; Marilyn Nicholson County of Hawaii Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission 2013 Annual Report to the Mayor December 27, 2013 Introduction The Hawaii County Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission (PONC) is submitting this 2013 Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor (Appendix 1) pursuant to Section 2 -217 of the Hawaii County Code, 1983, 2005 Edition (Appendix 2). The Commission is advisory to the Mayor and is responsible for annually submitting a prioritized list of lands to be considered for acquisition. For information on acquisitions completed in 2013 please refer to the Summary of 2013 Acquisitions (Appendix 3). The Commission has also compiled a report on the Status of all Properties on Past Prioritized Lists, providing detailed information for each property (Appendix 4) and an Acquisition Status Report (Appendix 5) that provides a list of properties that were acquired and includes the different funding sources used for each acquisition. Appendix 6 is a list of all properties that have been submitted since the inception of the Commission. This list attests to the informed participation of community groups and individual citizens interested in the preservation of our island's resources. In 2012 Hawaii County voters approved two charter amendments which impacted this Commission. The first charter amendment created by Article 10, Section 10 -15, PONC Fund (FUND), sets aside 2% of Hawaii County's property taxes each year to acquire properties as listed in the amendment (Appendix 7). The second charter amendment which can be found in Article 10, Section 10 -16, Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund (Appendix 8), provides funding for maintaining properties acquired by the FUND and contains a list of permitted maintenance uses. Included in this report is an appendix describing the Process for Property Acquisition (Appendix 9) so that the public may be better informed as to how properties are acquired using the FUND.

The Commission developed its prioritized ranking order based upon reported urgency, anticipated use, significance and benefit to the public and special opportunities available for acquisition and management. See Appendix 1 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties. Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists and Acquisitions Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from 2006 -2012 (see Appendix 4). The Commission recommends that properties from previous prioritized lists continue to be pursued as far as possible unless: the County has already acquired the property; the property no longer meets the criteria for inclusion (see Appendix 9); there are insufficient funds available for acquisition; or the County Council has not passed a resolution that would allow the property to be acquired. In addition it may be of interest to note that Kaiholena (Lot F), which was prioritized by the PONC in 2007 and 2009 and resoluted for purchase by the County Council in 2008, was purchased without County funds through an effort led by the Kohala community in partnership with a community based non - profit. The community noted that even though PONC funds were not used, having the parcel ranked and resoluted assisted with securing other funding. Page 2 Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public The Comprehensive List (see Appendix 6) is a sequential listing by tax map key of all properties submitted by the public since 2006. Commission Meetings Commission meetings dates and location for 2013 were: January 14 Kona July 8 Hilo March 11 Hilo September 9 Kona May 13 Kona November 12 Hilo At each of these meetings the Commission welcomed testimony from the public. Interest in the Commissions' work is evident through increased attendance and testimony by members of the public, landowners and other interested parties. In addition to these meetings, commissioners presented information on the program and the application process at various community meetings. Suggestion Form The Suggestion Form [revised January 14, 2013] (see Appendix 10) is available to the public by request through the County Finance Department or on -line at the web -site below: http:/ /records. co.hawaii.hi.us/W eblink8/ 1 /doc /6413 9/Electronic. aspx The Commission considered properties identified on these forms that were submitted by the public when creating the 2013 Prioritized List. A total of seventeen Suggestion Forms were received from the public between July 1, 2012 and June 28, 2013 (see Appendix 11). Two were not assessed since a resolution authorizing acquisition had already been approved by the Hawaii County Council. Assessment Criteria Form The Commission updated the Assessment Criteria Form [revised March 11, 2013] (see Appendix 12). This Assessment Criteria Form was utilized to assess the suggestion forms received during the aforementioned time period. Commission and Community Recommendations and Concerns The following is a listing of recommendations and concerns identified by the Commission: ➢ The Commission and the public suggest that the County expedite a formal funding process to support community management plans and long term property maintenance. ➢ The commissioners will continue to seek education and training in all aspects of land acquisition to better accomplish the Commissions' goals. ➢ The Commission encourages the public to re- nominate properties that do not have a current County resolution or have not been purchased. ➢ The commissioners encourage the County to fill Commission vacancies in a timely manner. Page 3 Next Steps ➢ Continue to schedule six Commission meetings alternating between Kona and Hilo in 2014. ➢ Consider scheduling 2014 meetings with Community Development Plan Steering Committees to explain the process for property acquisition and the use of the FUND. ➢ Publicize the meeting schedule and encourage the public to submit or re- submit suggestion forms and participate in the process. ➢ Continue to encourage potential partnerships with other governmental agencies, non - profit organizations, and private entities for land /entitlement acquisitions. ➢ Identify partnerships with non - profit organizations, community groups, and volunteer organizations to provide management for acquired properties. ➢ Expand commissioners' understanding of easements, land trusts and partnerships. ➢ Submit Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor by December 31, 2014.

SUPP.4 (7 -2007) 2 -66 COUNTY OF HAWAII PUBLIC ACCESS, OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVATION COMMISSION (PONC) SUMMARY OF 2013 ACQUISITIONS Kaiholena (south Uareels), North Kohala District On June 28, 2013, the County of Hawaii completed its seventh purchase utilizing funds from the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund (FUND) for three parcels (Tax Map Keys: (3) 5 -8- 01:21, 22 & 25) totaling 76.615 acres. The purchase was partially funded by a $1,432,088.77 grant from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP) with the balance of $2,558,911.23 paid from the FUND. Acquisition of these properties ensures that this area remains in open space as it contains some of the most intact historic and cultural sites which are also identified in the County General Plan and North Kohala Community Development Plan. There are also traditionally used accesses to the shoreline used by the public for subsistence fishing and shoreline gathering. These parcels are an addition to the adjacent Kaiholena (north parcels) that were already purchased by the County in 2010 leaving one remaining parcel (TMK: (3) 5 -8- 01:23) to be purchased by the Ala Kahakai Trail Association with approximately $1,449,555.00 in LLCP grant monies and the remainder through private fundraising by the various Kohala community groups. With this acquisition, the County now owns a total of 1031.8197 acres of land purchased with the FUND and received a total of $5,598,838.77 in grant monies by leveraging funds with State and Federal sources. To ensure proper long term management and responsible stewardship of these lands, the County continues to work with members of the public, community groups and /or government agencies so that these lands are kept in open space and preserved in perpetuity for generations to come.

(4) Exemption to funding. If the maintenance fund holds $3,000,000 in unencumbered funds derived from real property tax revenue (including interest and penalties), then the council and the executive branch do not need to add more money to the maintenance fund until the next budget cycle. This exemption shall not release the administration from its mandatory duty to maintain and preserve lands and easements acquired by the public access, open space, and natural resources preservation fund in good repair for public safety each fiscal year. (g) The maintenance fund shall be used solely for public safety maintenance and preservation of those lands and easements acquired by the public access, open space, and natural resources preservation fund, and may be used only for expenditures directly related to its purpose.

These funds are 2% of all real property tax revenues, including penalties and interest collected by Hawaii County each year. 1. The public may submit suggestion forms to the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission (PONC). PONC suggestion forms may be found on -line at: http: / /records.co. hawaii. hi. us/ Weblink8 /l /doc /64139/Electronic.aspx and are due on or before the last business day of June each year. Suggestion forms received after this date will be considered by the Commission the following year. The Commission reviews all suggestion forms, including additional information submitted i.e. pictures, maps, testimony from local residents, archaeological information, real estate listings, land surveys, etc. and also welcomes public testimony at PONC meetings. 2. The Commission prioritizes a list of properties from the suggestion forms that were submitted for that year, compiles all information, creates the Prioritized List of Properties and submits an Annual Report to the Mayor each year by December 31St. Annual Reports to the Mayor may be found on -line at: http: / /records.co. hawaii. hi. us /Weblink8Browse .aspx ?dbid =l &startid =13770 3. Once a property is ranked on the list, a member of the Hawaii County Council may submit a resolution to authorize the Director of Finance to proceed with negotiations for acquisition. Community members are welcome to advocate for this resolution. Once the County Council approves a resolution to acquire the property, the Commission will no longer consider the property for future prioritized lists. 4. The Department of Finance, Property Management Division (PMD) may or may not open negotiations to purchase the property. Factors affecting this decision could be: if there is a willing seller, if there is a community group that is willing to manage the property, if there are matching funds or if there are other properties that are higher priorities for acquisition. 5. The County is more likely to acquire properties that have commitments for matching funds. Matching funds maximize the purchasing power of the FUND. The best use of FUND monies is to be used for dollar for dollar matching funds. The party who submitted the suggestion form will work with the PMD and /or Council Member to seek matching funds. To date, matching funds have been obtained from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USF &W), Recovery Lands Acquisition Program (for endangered species) and the State of Hawaii, Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP). Sources for other matching funds could possibly be obtained from Office of Hawaiian Affairs for cultural sites and from the Federal Emergency Management Administration for flood plain or flood prone lands. Additional Information: Article X, Section 10 -15 of the Hawaii County Charter stipulates what lands may be purchased with these funds: (see excerpt from section below) (a) Monies in this fund shall be used solely to: (1) Purchase or otherwise acquire lands or property entitlements in the County of Hawaii for public outdoor recreation and education, including: (A) Access to beaches and mountains; 1 (B) Preservation of historic or culturally important land areas and sites; (C) Protection of natural resources, significant habitat or eco- systems including buffer zones; (D) Preservation of forests, beaches, coastal areas, natural beauty and agricultural lands; and (E) Protection of watershed lands to preserve water quality and water supply. Expenditures for PONC Acquisitions http: / /records.co. hawaii. hi.us /WebLink8/DocView.aspx ?id= 65627 &dbid =l This report shows that the County of Hawaii has spent $22,446,480 to obtain land in Hawaii County for public use. $16,847,641 was used from the FUND; the remaining amount was obtained from matching funds (USF &W & LLCP). The Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund: Procedures are currently being developed by Parks & Recreation to allow community groups to apply for funds to assist the County with stewardship and maintenance of properties purchased with the FUND. 2 COUNTY OF HAWAII PUBLIC ACCESS, OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVATION COMMISSION Suggestion Form for Lands and /or Property Entitlements for Acquisition The Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission is taking suggestions for sites or projects to improve upon public access, open space, and natural resources preservation, pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 42, of the Hawaii County Code.
