PROPOSAL #14 (CA-28) <br />RELATING TO MEMBERSHIP ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: Shall the Charter <br />of the County of Hawaiibe amended to remove political party membership limits for the <br />makeup of County boards and commissions? <br />This proposal would remove the language in the sections regarding boards and <br />commissions and mandatory <br />of members of these boards and commissions shall belong to the same political party. The <br />commission finds that when the charter was first established, ensuring fair representation <br />of political minorities on county boards and commissions was consistent with the partisan <br />nature of county government. With the advent of non-partisan elections for county <br />electoral offices, the charter language has become obsolete and may impede the ability to <br />bring diversity of other kinds to the membership of county boards and commissions. <br />PROPOSAL #15 (CA-29) <br />RELATING TO THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND CAPITAL PROGRAMS: Shall the <br />Charter of the County of Hawaiibe amended to require that capital improvement <br />priorities be based on criteria aligned with the County General Plan, County community <br />development plans, emergency expenditures, and other pertinent functional plans? <br />This proposal would add language to the capital budget section of financial procedures <br />that requires that capital improvement priorities be based on criteria aligned with the <br />county general plan, county community development plans, emergency expenditures, and <br />other pertinent functional plans. The commission finds that there is a need to strengthen <br />the linkage between planning and programming in the charter. This proposal would <br />provide that linkage, while assuring flexibility in budgeting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
