Mr. Gilmartin asked where that would leave us now with the fund balance. Mr. Van Bergen replied that <br />when we get the grant from DLNR we have two fiscal years to use the funds so if nothing else was <br />purchased then we'll have about $600,000.00 left. <br />In regards to Kawa, we have until June 30, 2011 to have the title issues cleared up and have been <br />working with DLNR as the landowner Mr. Olson is also aware. There's not a whole lot more the <br />County can do at this point since we don't own the land. <br />Mr. Flores asked about the status of the Kingman Trust properties. Mr. Van Bergen replied that two <br />resolutions were passed by the County Council. These resolutions allow us to purchase two parcels with <br />PONC funds and one parcel with another funding source. We are currently trying to negotiate some <br />time with the owner and hopefully enter into an agreement or Letter of Intent so we have more time to <br />possibly acquire matching funds. <br />.OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION COUNSEL'S REPORT <br />Ms. Self reported that the initiative on the ballot for the 2% Fund was passed which means it cannot go <br />below 1 %. She will provide a copy for the commissioners and have Ms. Kelepolo send it out. <br />.CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT <br />Mr. Flores thanked everyone for their hard work and noted that it's been a privilege to serve on this <br />Commission. He commented how through the years their work have gotten polished and more refined <br />and emphasized how with everyone working together they keep on moving forward. He also <br />commended the amount of grant monies that the County has been able to obtain to leverage the PONC <br />funds. <br />He added that at this time there is no one to fill his seat so he will holdover for an additional 90 days. <br />Ms. Self commented that it's getting more difficult to find volunteers to serve on commissions as their <br />office is actively recruiting current applications submitted. <br />Ms. Springer expressed that it's been a pleasure to be a part of this Commission over the past five years. <br />With the meetings reduced and the process stream - lined, there is hopefulness contained in this <br />Commission in regards to citizen participation to ensure the well being in areas of the island as well as <br />continue to meet the community expectations. <br />Mr. Flores reported that there will be vacancies in Districts 7, 8 and 9 and announced that Mr. Gilmartin <br />who represents District 6 will be resigning from the Commission. Mr. Gilmartin expressed that it's been <br />a pleasure to be on this Commission and is proud of the work they've done but will be unable to commit <br />next year. He did however say that he will attend at least one more meeting so they can have a quorum. <br />-2- <br />
