Honorable Valerie T. Poindexter, Chairwoman <br /> and Members of the Hawaii County Council <br /> December 28, 2016 <br /> Page 6 <br /> the group states in its latest application, significantly reduce traffic into Waipi`o <br /> and the related "negative impact" on the valley. While this is an admirable goal, <br /> the rim and valley are privately owned and not covered under Hawaii County's <br /> Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund. This is <br /> why access issues are best left to the private property owners and the agencies <br /> that regulate them. <br /> Pohaha I Ka Lani offers an in-kind match of$100,000. This value is itemized into <br /> different functions; however, the respective number of hours is not listed. Due to <br /> this omission, is it not possible to calculate the per-hour cost of these services <br /> and determine if the values are reasonable or suitable for the proposed <br /> oversight. <br /> Still, given its previous and ongoing work on the property, I recommend that <br /> POhaha I Ka Lani has the ability to complete its project according to the project <br /> plan. <br /> This concludes my evaluation of the five maintenance grant applications received by the <br /> Department of Parks and Recreation and my recommendation, as stated in the Charter, <br /> about each applicant's ability to complete its project according to the project plan. <br /> I'm happy • respond to any questions you might wish to pose. <br /> Since,: f <br /> ( Az_)T <br /> Charmaine L.
