<br />Introduction
<br />Pursuant to Section 2 -217 of the Hawaii County Code, 1983, 2005 Edition (see Appendix
<br />1), the Hawaii County Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
<br />Commission is submitting this 2011 Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor (see Appendix
<br />2 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties).
<br />The Commission is advisory to the Mayor and is responsible for annually developing and
<br />submitting a prioritized list of lands to be considered for acquisition. For discussion of acquisitions
<br />completed in 2011 please refer to Appendix 3, Summary of 2011 Acquisitions. The Commission
<br />has also compiled a report on the status of all properties on past prioritized lists which provides
<br />detailed information for each property (see Appendix 4).
<br />In addition, the Commission has developed an assessment form with criteria to receive and
<br />prioritize suggestions from the community for lands worthy of preservation and /or public access.
<br />All submittals from the inception of the Commission have been put into the Comprehensive List
<br />(see Appendix 5). This list attests to the informed participation of community groups and
<br />individual citizens interested in the preservation of our island's resources.
