Dear Mayor Kim:
Attached is the 2019 Annual Report of the County of Hawaii Public Access, Open Space
and Natural Resource Preservation Commission (PONC), pursuant to Section 2-217 (2)
of the Hawaii County Code.
This year, we reviewed 14 'Suggestion Forms nominations for PONC Preservation
Funding either for Conservation Easement or Fee acquisition. We have improved the
Suggestion Form for properties to be nominated for County purchase. We have revised
our Criteria Assessment Form to make it more user-friendly to commissioners and the
public. We have improved the scale and the scope of site visits and have expanded
reporting to the public on the PONC website.
We were saddened in 2019 with the passing of Commissioner Cynthia Nazara, who
brought authentic cultural wisdom to the Commission. She was irreplaceable and will be
missed.We congratulated Corporation Counsel Amy Self on her retirement, and welcome
Ronald Kim as her replacement.
We also reviewed and made our recommendation to the Department of Parks and
Recreation (P&R) regarding the five 2020 Stewardship Grant applications from
community groups to malama PONC acquired properties. We will continue to refine our
commission and the processes of nominating properties and work with P&R to improve
the Stewardship Grant process.
County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
We are entering 2020 with many achievements under our belt, and are grateful to serve
the public's overwhelming desire to support the existence of the PONC. However, we now
find the Commission precariously on the brink of non-functionality due to the continued
existence of vacancies on the commission, and the terming out of twomore
commissioners in 2020. Considering the lengthy amount of time that vetting and
confirming new commissioners have historically taken, the public is justifiably concerned
with the Commission's ability to meet quorum in the near future. We mustbe vigilant to
line up replacementsJor our outgoing commissioners to be able to meet quorum even if
one commissioner is absent.
The work of our Commission was possible with the support of our County staff. We are
tremendously thankful for the excellent work of Commission Secretary, Maxine Cutler;
Property Manager, Hamana Ventura; Deputy Corporation Counsel Amy Self(retired April
2019); and Deputy Corporation Counsel Ronald Kim.
Again, we are thankful for the support of the County of Hawaii. It is a pleasure working
with communities, non-profits, and other agencies to preserve Hawai'i's cultural and
natural resources.

Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
2019 Annual Report to the Mayor
December 16, 2019
Introduction:
The Hawaii County Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission (PONC) is submitting this 2019 Annual Report to the Mayor which includes the 2019
Prioritized List of Properties that was submitted to this Commission on or before February 28,
2019 (Chapter 1), in pursuant to the Hawaii County Code (1985), Edition 2005 Section 2-217
(Chapter 5).
Unlike other commissions in Hawai'i 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.
This Commission has compiled a report of all properties submitted on the Status of Prop-
erties on Past Prioritized Lists 2006-2018 (Chapter 2) and the Acquisition Status Report (Chapter
3) which includes the different funding sources used for each acquisition. Finally, this Commis-
,
sion compiled a detailed Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public (Chapter 4).
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 (Chapter 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 (Chapter 7) which provides funding for maintaining
properties acquired by the Preservation Fund and permitted usages.
Included in this report the Process for Property Acquisition (Chapter 8) so that the public
may be better informed as to how properties are acquired using the Preservation Fund.

In developing the 2019 Prioritized List, the Commission considered properties submitted
on the 2019 Suggestion Forms, heard public testimony, communications, and conducted site vis-
its to selected nominations. The Commission developed its prioritized ranking order based upon
reported urgency, anticipated use, significance, the benefit to the public, special opportunities
available for acquisition, and management plan. This year's total possible score based on the
total number was 700 (not including the two vacant districts). In 2015, the Commission amended
its' rules (Chapter 9) to include only those properties that scored 50% or higher on the prioritized
list,for consideration. In Chapter 1, there are detailed descriptions, maps, and summaries of all
13 properties that scored 50% and above. Four nominations that failed to meet the 50% or higher
threshold; one of those was withdrawn by the submitter. See the chart below.

Commission Meetings:
Meeting dates and location for 2019 were:
Jan. 14 Kona
Jul. 8 Kona
Mar. 11 Hilo Sep. 9 Hilo
May 13 Kona Nov. 4 Kona
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 in-
creased awareness via the public website, increased public attendance, verbal/written by
members of the public, property owners, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties.
In addition to these meetings, and informational presentations were given at various community
meetings about the PONC Program.
In addition to these meetings, the Commission appointed five of its members to a spe-
cial sub-committee to conduct site-visits to selected nominated properties. This committee
was charged with making visits and then give a verbal and written report of-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
iii
from 2006-2019 (Chapter 3). The commission recommends that properties from previous priori-
tized 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, Sec-
tion 10-15 (Chapter 6); the property no longer meets the criteria for inclusion (Chapter 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.
Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public
The Comprehensive List of Properties(Chapter 4) is a sequential listing by the tax map key
number in each.zone of all properties submitted by the public since 2006 to the PONC Commis-
sion.
Suggestion Form
There were no new revisions to the Suggestion Form. The last revision was approved on
September 10, 2018 (Chapter 10). It is available to the public by request or on-line at the web site
here: http://records.hawaiicounty.gov/weblink/Browse.aspx?dbid=l&startid=13770&cr=1
The Commission considered properties identified on the forms that were submitted by
the public when creating the 2019 Prioritized List. PONC received 17 Suggestion Forms from
the public between March 1, 2018, until the deadline date of February 28, 2019.
Assessment Criteria Form
The Commission made no updates to the Assessment Criteria Form. The last revision
was done on November 5, 2018 (Chapter 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 ResourcesPreservation
Maintenance Fund, which provides funding for maintaining properties acquired by the PONC
Fund. This past year, the PONC Commission was giventhe task of reviewing eligible applica-
tions and making funding recommendations to the County Department of Parks and Recreation
(P&R).
iv
Upon review of the application,this commission 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 2019, PONC Commission was 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, five Stewardship Grant Applications (Chapter 12) were received by
P&R and passed on to the PONC Commission to review and make funding recommendations,
providing they met the requirements as defined in the Hawaii County Charter Section 10-
16(g).

Tax Map Key (3) 1-4-028:044 consisting of approx. 2.515 acres of the
Wa'awa'a ahupua'a in the District of Puna, Hawai'i
Anticipated Use
• This acquisition would legitimize a much-used public access to the shoreline, presently used
illegally across an absentee landowner's property, where such access is limited
• The lot has a narrow 800-foot road to the end, from which a trail goes to the coast and along
the shore about a quarter mile to popular sandy areas and tide pools above the bluff-lined
coastline
Significance
• The property itself is identifiable along the Government Beach Road by its stone walls at the
gate, and it has some landscaping and a native hala trees
• The property is already a well-known access to the ocean thanks to guide books, vacation
rental listings, unofficial guided tours and internet identification
• In fast-growing Puna District the addition of another access to the shoreline near populated
areas is much needed, especially following losses of popular sites due to the recent eruption
Special Opportunity for Acquisition and Management
• The owners are willing to sell the property for public access to the shore
• Should the county or PONC not be interested in purchase, the landowners are planning to
continue their planning for a home on the lot and prevent the public from accessing across it

December 16,2019
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 Hawai`i 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:
http://records.hawaiicounty.gov/weblink/Browse.aspx?dbid=l&startid=13770&cr=1.
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.hawaiicounty.gov/weblink/Browse.aspx?dbid=l&startid=13770&cr=1
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 8.1

PRESERVATION FUND. The next period that P&R will be accepting stewardship grant applications will be
July—August 2019.
