Her details below are well thought out <br />and make perfect sense to me. We are blessed to have a citizen who has put so much volunteer energy into the 2% <br />program that will help preserve land for generations to come. Mahalo for your support of this effort. <br />With gratitude and aloha <br />Jim <br />Jim Albertini <br />Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action <br />P.O.

Make changes to Charter Amendment -9 deals with ONE full time employee to work ONLY on <br />the 2% Land Fund Program. <br />2. Make changes to Charter Amendment 18- deals with the Maintenance Fund and allows the <br />non-profit stewardship groups to pay people who work on the land. <br />CA -9 ONE PERSON PAID FROM THE 2% LAND FUND TO WORK ONLY ON THE <br />LAND FUND. <br />Black print is what the Charter commission is proposing. The RED Additions are what we would like <br />to see included in the language: <br />CA -9: 3) "Pay for the salary, wages and benefits of one full--tirrr . n.rrrt .ar,, .arrrf loyra� by_ the <br />1)epartrrreit of Finance dedicated only to advancing administering the activities contained within this <br />section and Section 10-16 of this charter. h » i& ii arddition foAc Acar5on provided for in the <br />:A220/ 0/a; as <br />ry. <br />he Public,' A <br />rc <br />This seems like a simple matter. We are asking for the red clarifying language. Otherwise WE WILL <br />RUN A JUST SAY NO CAMPAIGN. WHY? <br />i <br />Comm. No. 35.45 <br />
