Hawai`i County Charter Commission —Public Hearing April 2, 2019 <br />STATEMENTS <br />FROM THE PUBLIC <br />Corporation Counsel, Fire Chief, and Public Work's Director. Information on <br />these proposals is available on the Commission website, the link to which can be <br />found on the County's homepage. <br />Third, we are convening six public hearings, one in each geographic district as <br />identified in the County Charter. This is our fourth Public Hearing of the six. <br />Following these hearings, we have until the end of June to submit to the County <br />Council a report on our activities, findings, and recommendations together with a <br />draft of the Proposed Charter Amendments. The Council has 30 days to return <br />the proposals with any alternatives to the Commission, after which within a <br />month, the Commission shall provide its final draft of proposed amendments to <br />the County Clerk. Ballot language on these Commissions will then be <br />developed... on these amendments will then be developed by the Commission for <br />submission to County voters for decision on the November 3rd, 2020 election <br />ballot. <br />At this time do we have any testifiers? Any speakers, anybody signed up? Okay. <br />Well, if we have no speakers then I would thank you all for coming, because this <br />is meant for us to listen to you, not for us to talk to you, so if we have no <br />speakers... okay. <br />CHR. ADAMS: Yes, if you would please sign in we will wait. Yup, that would <br />be great. Great and if you go here and use the mic, that way it makes it into the <br />minutes as well. Great. Thank you. Please provide your name, any organization, <br />and the area that you are speaking to. <br />ROB <br />CULBERTSON: Proposal No. CA -9 in support. <br />MR. CULBERTSON: Thank you Commissioners. My name is Rob Culbertson. <br />I live Pa'auilo. I am a member of several organizations. I am not representing <br />anybody in that capacity per say. I did want to speak to the PONC fund, so <br />called, and I guess CA -9 is one item that I support. And as I understand it, the <br />importance here is to be able to get somebody within the... and it may relate <br />maybe you can help me out, to the other item, CA -18, to get somebody in the <br />Department of Finance with the primary function being to administer that fund. <br />Also would like to be able to use that fund to empower and finance people who... <br />and, or non -profits that may be able to work the maintenance aspects of the lands <br />in some capacity. Can you... I don't see that listed here, but that is my concern. <br />Page 3 <br />
