Re: 2018 Annual Report to the Mayor from the
Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
Dear Chairperson Chung and Council Members:
Pursuant to Section 2-217 of the Hawai`i County Code, the 2017 Annual Report for the
Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission (PONC) was
previously transmitted as required by December 31, 2017. Pursuant to Section 2-2018 of the
Hawai`i County Code, I am transmitting herewith my comment and recommendations on the
PONC's 2018 Annual Report and Prioritized List.
This year the Commission considered only properties submitted by the public using the
2018 Suggestion Form and scored each submission based upon anticipated use; significance and
benefits to the public; and special opportunities available for acquisition and management.
The County has successfully completed 14 acquisitions (Appendix 4) totaling 4,450.8655
acres with funds from the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Fund,
various State and Federal grants, and a private donation. The 2018 Annual Report to the Mayor'
"Status of Properties on Past Prioritized List 2016-2018" (Appendix 3)progressively reports the
status of the nominated properties and matching funds for those successfully acquired.
STATUS OF FUNDS
Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Fund
Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Maintenance Fund
For the benefit of the County Council, I have attached a summary of both funds and all monies
deposited and disbursed since its establishment.
Comm. No. 41
Ref.To: L

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 2018

Hilo, Hawai'i 96720
Dear Mayor Kim:
Attached is the 2018 Annual Report of the County of Hawai'i Public Access, Open Space and
Natural Resource Preservation Commission (PONC), pursuant to Section 2-217 (2) of the Hawai'i
County Code.
This has been another great year for the PONC. We have worked to improve the Suggestion Form for
properties to be nominated for county purchase. We have revised our Criteria Assessment Form to
prioritize the nominated properties. In recent years, we have taken on the responsibility of reviewing
grant applications to maintain PONC properties and have worked to improve the process for granting
funds for stewarding the lands. We will continue to refine our commission and the processes of
nominating properties and the Stewardship Grant process. We have submitted our recommendation
letter to the Charter Commission.
The good people of Hawai'i have suggested many properties for the County to preserve into
perpetuity. Looking to preserve the natural resources of Hawai'i, our commission has reviewed and
ranked these community submissions for your consideration. We have also reviewed grant
applications for communities to malama PONC acquired properties.
The work of our commission couldn't happen without the support of the county staff We are
thankful for the time and efforts of Maxine Cutler (Commission Secretary), Amy Self (Deputy
Corporation Counsel), and Hamana Ventura (Property Manager).
Again, we are thankful for the support of the County of Hawai'i and enjoy working with
communities to conserve Hawai'i's natural resources.
Aloha Nui Loa,
Kekaulike Tomich,Chairman
Commissioners: E.Koohan Paik Mander; Kafena Bishaw II; Shelley Bee Allen Naungayan; Dr. Wayne
Frank; Rene' Siracusa,Vice Chair; Rick Warshauer; Cynthia Nazara; and Susan Wells Fischer.
County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
County of Hawaii
Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
2018 Annual Report to the Mayor
December 31,2018
Introduction
The Hawaii County Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission (PONC) is submitting this 2018 Annual Report to the Mayor which includes the 2018
Prioritized List of Properties that was submitted to this Commission on or before February 28, 2018
(Appendix 1), in pursuant to the Hawaii County Code (1985), Edition 2005 Section 2-217
(Appendix 2).
Unlike other commissions in the county, this Commission is an advisory to the Mayor and its
sole responsibilities are: 1) responsible for annually submitting a prioritized list of properties to be
considered for acquisition to the Mayor and 2) review and make recommendations to the Department
of Parks and Recreation of the Stewardship Grant Applications.
In addition, this Commission has also compiled a report of all properties submitted on the
Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists 2006-2018 (Appendix 3), which includes the different
funding sources used for each acquisition. For updated information of the county's acquisitions using
the Preservation Fund, please refer to the Acquisition Status Report (Appendix 4). Finally, this
Commission compiled a detailed Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public
(Appendix 5). This list attests to the participation of community groups and individual parties
interested in the preservation of our island's open spaces and natural resources.
In 2010, Hawaii County voters approved the first charter amendment created by Article 10,
Section 10-15, PONC Preservation Fund that sets aside 2% of Hawaii County's real property taxes
each year for acquisition of these properties (Appendix 6). Two years later in 2012, Hawaii County
voters approved the second charter creating an amendment,which can be found in Article 10, Section
10-16, PONC Maintenance Fund (Appendix 7), provides funding for maintaining properties acquired
by the Preservation Fund and permitted usages.
Included in this report is an appendix describing the Process for Property Acquisition
(Appendix 8) so that the public may be better informed as to how properties are acquired using the
Preservation Fund.

Kekaulike P.Tomich, Chairman,District 8 (January 1,2016-December 31,2020)

Commission Meetings
Meeting dates and location for 2018 were:
January 8 Kona March 12 Hilo
May 14 Kona July 9 Hilo
September 10 Kona November 5 Hilo
At each of these meetings, the Commission welcomed public testimony from the public and
other government agencies. Interest in the Commissions work is evident through increased
awareness via the public website, increased in public attendance, verbal/written by members of
the public, property owners, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties. In addition to
these meetings, our commissioners presented information of the Open Space Acquisition program and
applications at various community meetings.
To give equal exposure and opportunity to the public every year, the meetings alternated
between Hilo and Kona. During the year, alternating the meetings between Hilo and Kona prove to
be effective with the public's contribution to the process.
In addition to these meetings, the Commission appointed four of its members to a special
sub-committee to conduct site visits to nominated properties that commissioners felt would be
helpful to see in person. This committee was charged with making visits and then reporting on
their findings at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists and Acquisitions
Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from
2006-2018 (Appendix 3). 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 set by Hawaii County Charter, Article 10, Section 10-15
(Appendix 6); the property no longer meets the criteria for inclusion (Appendix 9); there is insufficient
funds available for acquisition; or the County Council has not passed a resolution that would
allow the property to be acquired.
Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public
The Comprehensive List of Properties (Appendix 5) is a sequential listing by tax map key
number in each zone of all properties submitted by the public since 2006 to the PONC Commission.
Suggestion Form
The Suggestion Form was revised and approved on September 10, 2018 (Appendix 11). It is
now available to the public by request or on-line at the web site below:
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?dbid=l&startid=13770
The Commission considered properties identified on the forms that were submitted by the
public when creating the 2018 Prioritized List. P O N C r e c e i v e d 16 Suggestion Forms from
the public between July 1, 2017 and February 28, 2018 (next page).
Prioritized List
The 2018 Prioritized List is as follows:

In developing the 2018 Prioritized List, the Commission considered properties submitted on
the 2018 Suggestion Forms, heard public testimony, written testimony's, and conducted site visits
related to those submissions. The Commission developed its prioritized ranking order based upon
reported urgency, anticipated use, significance, benefit to the public, special opportunities available
for acquisition, and management plan. This year's total possible score based on the total number of
commissioners was 900. In 2015, the Commission amended its' rules (Appendix 9) to include only
those properties that scored 50% or higher on the prioritized list for consideration. In Appendix 1,
there are detailed descriptions, maps, and summaries of all 13 properties that scored 50% and above.
There was only one property that was nominated and failed to meet the 50% or higher threshold.
Historically, a Resolution 65-17 for Haleohiu was passed by County Council in 2017. In addition,
two of the nominations were duplicate errors. See chart below.

16 013 0% Duplicate Submission of Comm. 18-010
Assessment Criteria Form
The Commission made no updates to the Assessment Criteria Form. Last revision was done
on November 5, 2018 (Appendix 11). This Assessment Criteria Form was utilized to assess the
suggestion forms received during the aforementioned time.
Stewardship Grants
In 2012 Hawaii County voters approved a charter amendment which can be found
in Article 10, Section 10-16, Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Maintenance Fund, which provides funding for maintaining properties acquired by the
PONC Fund. In 2018, the PONC Commission was given the task of reviewing eligible
applications and making funding recommendations to the County Department of Parks and
Recreation (P&R).
Upon review of the application and discussion with P&R staff, the PONC Commissioners
expressed many concerns and reservations about how the grant application process is structured
and about the grant application form that is provided to the applicants. In 2018, PONC
Commission were invited by the Charter Commission to render a recommendation to the charter
that would make the process that would further enhance the PONC commission's ability in their
capacity to the mayor.
In the meantime, four eligible Stewardship Grant Applications (Appendix 12) were
received by P&R and passed on to the PONC Commission to review and make funding
recommendations. All four applications were recommended for funding at PONC's Special
Meeting held in October 2018, providing they met the requirements as defined in the Hawaii
County Charter Section 10-16(g).
The PONC Commission looks forward to working with P&R and with legal counsel to
modify and clarify the grants-making process to make it an effective tool for the County to use to
help steward the properties that are purchased with PONC funding.

• Protection of significant cultural, historic, and natural resources such as the recovery of three
endangered, endemic shrubs: Acharanthes, Ko'oloa'ula, and Ohai
• Hawaiian Monk seals have been sighted along the shoreline
Significance
• Honoipu may be translated as "gourd bay" because the shape of the bay and surrounding
cliffs resembles a gourd. The bay is a "hono" place, with calm seas, protected from the strong
Apa'apa'a winds of Kohala. It is known for its traditional landing site for interisland canoes
traveling to and from Maui. We remember this in famous songs and chants as the place
where canoes and ships leave the leeward protection of the island to sail across the
Alenuihaha Channel
• Historic Honoipu Landing was surrounded by a small village and served as an alternative
"port"to shipping at Mahukona

Anticipated Use
• Traditional access trail to shoreline
• Preservation of extensive coastal agricultural and village remains in formerly high-density
occupation area
• Peaceful use of quiet coastal area, now rare in Puna
Significance
• This older piece of undisturbed agricultural and village archaeological remains is a very rare
example in today's Puna and windward Hawai'i overall. That it adjoins similarly significant
larger Kamehameha Schools and mauka forest reserve lands enhances its historic value
enormously, as does all of their remaining native and cultural vegetation
• The total preserved area and resource variety will be much larger
• These few older pieces of agricultural land are where old Hawai'ians moved to when Pele
covered their homes and fields. Now very little of this remains, and it all is an essential
historic relic
Special Opportunity for Acquisition and Management
• This is a rare opportunity for preservation of unique archaeological and cultural features in
their natural setting and in a larger geography around it
• Management and development needs are few and community groups are interested in taking
them on
• The area is under threat of ongoing development, as can be seen from cleared land around it
and the explosion of large houses in the coastal lands of nearby Maku'u and further north

Before beginning their duties, each member appointed shall subscribe to the oath or
affirmation before some person duly qualified to administer oaths:
1, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Hawaii, and
that I will faithfully discharge my duties as a member of the public access, open space,
and natural resources preservation commission to the best of my ability."
(2005, ord 05-166, sec 3.)
Section 2-217. Duties and responsibilities of the commission.
The duties and responsibilities of this commission are:
(1) To develop and submit to the mayor an island-wide prioritized list of
qualifying lands worthy of preservation. The commission shall give emphasis
to land acquisitions where the County's contribution can be leveraged to
obtain State, Federal, and/or private lands. Priorities shall be listed on an
island-wide rather than district basis. The list shall include the significance of
each parcel or entitlement identified, the reason for its priority, and its
anticipated use after acquisition;
(2) To update this list at any time, but at least annually by December 31 of each
year;
(3) To explore methods of funding land acquisition and make recommendations to
the mayor;
(4) To review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the director of the
department of parks and recreation regarding applications for stewardship
grants from the maintenance fund, within six months of receipt of each
application. Recommendations shall address whether grant applicants have
the ability to complete their proposed projects according to the project plan, on
time, and within cost estimates, in accordance with section 10-16(h) of the
Charter;
(5) To review stewardship grant applications, business plans, agreements, and
other documentation accompanying grant applications. The commission may
also conduct interviews and perform site visits and other activities necessary
to formulate a recommendation; and

§ 2-217 HAWAII COUNTY CODE
(6) To review stewardship grant recipient performance reports, conduct
interviews, and perform site visits and other activities necessary to verify that
grant objectives are being met. The commission shall forward its findings to
the director of parks and recreation.
(2005, ord 05-166, sec 4; am 2015, ord 15-97, sec 7.)
Section 2-218. Prioritized list of qualifying lands worthy of preservation.
(a) The prioritized list developed by the commission shall be submitted to the mayor
for comments and recommendation. Within sixty days after receipt, the mayor will
submit the list to the council with comments and recommendations. The council
shall, by resolution, select the land or lands to be preserved. Under no
circumstances shall the purchase price paid for a property exceed the appraised
value as prepared by an independent appraiser engaged by the County. Where
there are multiple lands under consideration at any one time, priority shall be
given to coastal lands and lands where matching funding is available to leverage
the County contribution.
(b) Negotiations for acquisition of lands to be preserved shall occur between the County
and the seller or its commissioned agent, or a licensed broker only. The commission
shall have no role in the negotiations other than in its advisory capacity.
(c) Appraisals, title reports, surveying and other costs incidental to the acquisition of
land shall be permitted uses of the public access, open space, and natural resources
preservation fund.
(d) Adequate staff to carry out the provisions of this article and to manage the land
acquired shall be provided in the department of finance to maximize the use of
available funds by minimizing the payment of commission to outside agents to put
together funding plans and to ensure that the County is a good steward of any land
that comes under its control through this article.
(2005, ord 05-166, sec 5; am 2007, ord 07-21, sec 2; am 2015, ord 15-97, sec 8.)
Article 43. Budget Stabilization Fund.
Section 2-219. Creation of fund; purpose.
(a) Pursuant to section 10-12, Hawaii County Charter 2000, a special fund to be
known as the budget stabilization fund is created.
(b) The purpose of the budget stabilization fund shall be a temporary, supplemental
source of funds for the County to use during times of financial hardships while a
plan for cost reduction or revenue enhancement is developed. Additionally, the
fund may be used to insulate general fund programs and current service levels
from:
(1) Revenue shortfalls to minimize the need for budget cuts or tax increases;
(2) A revenue reduction due to a change in state or federal legislation; or
(3) Slower revenue growth that typically occurs during an economic recession.

TO THE
EIGHTH
PROCESS for PROPERTY ACQUISITION with FUNDS
from the PUBLIC ACCESS, OPEN SPACE AND
NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVATION FUNDS
Romr v�
December 31, 2018
Process for Property Acquisition with Funds from the Public Access,
Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund
For 2018, approximately $6.14 million was deposited into the Public Access, Open Space and Natural
Resources Preservation Fund (FUND) pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 42, Section 2-214 of the Hawaii County
Code, 1983, 2005 Edition and Article X, Section 10-15 of the Hawaii County Charter. 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:
htlp://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?startid=13770&dbid=l and are due on or before
the last business day of February 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 it in 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/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?startid=13770&dbid=l
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
and the general public 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)
Updated:Dec.20,2018

July—August 2019.
