The Waipi`o property was purchased in October of this year. We understand <br />that one Kawa`a parcel (Johnson property) is in escrow and three other parcels (Olson properties) are <br />in negotiations. Hopefully these will become additional purchases using Public Access funds along <br />with state and federal funds. <br />This year, as in the past, the Commissioners held public information and input meetings in <br />their respective districts. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss the new "intake" or suggestion <br />forms, review the assessment forms and to also provide information on the Commission, and <br />encourage submission of proposals for site preservation. <br />Pursuant to Section 2- 217(2) of the Hawaii County Code, we are submitting the updated <br />prioritized list of properties. Besides the prioritized list, the report contains Commission and <br />community concerns for your consideration and a list of potential funding sources. <br />If there are any questions or clarification needed, please contact Amy Self, Deputy <br />Corporation Counsel at 961 -8251 or Harry Yada, Property Manager at 961 -8009. <br />KK:ak <br />Encls. <br />Sincerely, <br />KENNETH KANESHIRO <br />Chair <br />Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />Commissioners: Kenneth Kaneshiro; Laura Schuster, Benedict Yung; <br />Paul Campbell; Bill Gilmartin; Kin: Garcia; Hannah Springer; E.
