WRITTEN COMMUNICATION <br />Mr. Flores stated for the purposes of record keeping, when the suggestion forms are <br />received, there's a box in the back of the form to mark the date received. There is also a <br />box next to that to check off indicating if the suggestion form included any attachments. <br />It gives the Commissioners a quick glance to see if any of those attachments were turned <br />in or not. <br />Communication No. 07 -012: an e -mail to Amy Self from John Replogle re: 20th Annual <br />National Land Conservation Conference. <br />Ms. Springer stated whether they are able to attend or not, it's good to know that events <br />like these were occurring across the country. This Commission could invite people like <br />Mr. Replogle to come and speak on the proceedings of the event. <br />DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REPORT <br />Mr. Yada stated he attended the meeting of the Board of Land and Natural Resources last <br />Friday on June 8, 2007. Based on their actions, the DLNR awarded a grant to the County <br />in the amount of $1,234,750.00 to go towards the purchase of 234.293 acres near Kawa'a <br />Bay. The County should be getting an offer letter by the end of June, which we would <br />have to accept to encumber that. Mr. Yada stated that would then give us two years to <br />consummate that transaction. <br />Mr. Yada stated he received a call from the owner of the Marcia Johnson's group and she <br />indicated they were conducting their own appraisal. They anticipate completion of the <br />appraisal within the next month. Mr. Yada stated she verbally indicated that she would <br />accept whatever conclusion that appraisal will be. <br />Mr. Yada discussed the Punalu`u hearings on Councilman Jacobson's resolution <br />authorizing purchase at Punalu`u. Mr. Yada stated there were passionate testimonies <br />from both sides. Mr. Yada stated he had concerns because of the discrepancies between <br />the two sides as to what was being authorized to purchase. Mr. Yada stated the <br />impression he got from the Commission's discussion was that it focused more on just <br />along the ocean. Mr. Yada stated he's not sure what the interpretation of the <br />Commission's priority recommendation was and whether there were any concerns there. <br />Mr. Yada stated he did point out that there seemed to be different positions on what <br />should be acquired. <br />Mr. Campbell asked how far the SMA setback from the water was. <br />Ms. Schuster replied that it depended on where they have drawn that line on the map and <br />it could be as far up as the highway. <br />2 <br />
