which suggest direct reference to Smart Cities aka UN Agenda 21, now UN Agenda <br /> 30. If you aren't educated on Smart or 15 Minute Cities, I invite you to do your own <br /> research into its restrictive and surveilled implementations and ask yourselves if this <br /> global agenda is pono for the Big Island of Hawaii. <br /> On page 188 (40.8), there is the requirement that "All County departments <br /> collaborate with the County Office of Sustainability, Climate, Equity, <br /> and Resilience (OSCER) as the lead agency to ensure the integration of the <br /> County's goals of sustainability, climate resilience, and equity in all county <br /> operations and planning initiatives." This is an appointed, not elected, agency that is <br /> now responsible for the implementation of the regulations of the smart growth <br /> principles we will be subjected to. I am disturbed this new overseeing entity will <br /> null and void all public input and leave crucial decisions for our island to unelected <br /> officials. <br /> Finally, the plan, on page 29, claims to be "based on community driven values, <br /> goals, and objectives". Yet, the District of Hilo, where I reside as well as over 22% <br /> of the Big Island, has no Community Development Plan. Hilo has never been <br /> represented in CDP process. Why is that? We too are entitled to our voice and input <br /> into our future. <br /> Again mahalo for your time and attention. Please vote to reject this plan. No matter <br /> how much lipstick you put on the pig, this plan is still a pig. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Adriana E.
