The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) offers the following <br /> comments: <br /> 1. Recognition and coordination of the Hawaiian Homes Commission (HHC) <br /> land use authority with the County's land use authority is memorialized in the <br /> 2002 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DHHL and the <br /> County. DHHL requests that the County includes this document as either as <br /> an appendices to the County General Plan or in separate section of the plan, <br /> where appropriate, to ensure that there is a reference for current and future <br /> County staff, elected officials, and members of the public about the <br /> relationship between DHHL and the County. The MOU between the County <br /> and DHHL was created almost a quarter century ago and while DHHL knows <br /> that current County Planning Department staff are aware of the MOU and the <br /> unique status of the Hawaiian Homes Commission's land use authority over <br /> DHHL lands, DHHL wants to further ensure that future County staff future <br /> elected officials, and future members of the public continue to have an <br /> institutional memory of the relationship between DHHL and the <br /> County. Incorporating a reference to this document in the 2045 County <br /> General Plan Update will better guarantee that this institutional memory is <br /> perpetuated in future generations. The 2002 MOU is enclosed for your <br /> convenience and reference. <br />
