He suggested that a survey be put out there to the public <br />inquiring on whether they still want money to go into the fund based on the current economic <br />situation. <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />• Commission to discuss previously submitted suggestion forms regarding <br />public access in the various districts <br />Ms. Garcia asked the commissioners if anyone had time to review their forms in their respective <br />districts. <br />Ms. Markovich reported on District I (Hdmdkua). <br />(The commissioners went into discussion) <br />Ms. Garcia asked that the suggestion forms for O'oma be included. <br />Ms. Springer reported on District 8 (North Kona). <br />(The commissioners continued their discussion) <br />Ms. Self updated the Commission on the PD. She mentioned that Mr. Gilbert Bailado is now <br />working on a Geographic Information System (GIS) layer for public access on the work that was <br />done by Debbie Chang. Upon completion, you will be able to purchase an update of the GIS data <br />and do a Tax Map Key (TMK) layer, water variance, public access, etc. <br />(Mr. Flores provided a handout to the commissioners on the Highways Act of 1892 which was taken <br />from the Na Ala Hele website.
