The PREP fairs have produced data that people overwhelmingly want CL in Puna. This included folks from HPP. There was not one person opposing it. Still, dialogue is not occurring to its full potential at the AC level. It is hopeful that at least two of you will "champion" this issue. I am hopeful that personal desires do not get in the way of implementation of the plan. As you are aware there is a well prepared implementation timeline at the back of the PCDP document. Lets start collaborating with the sited departments and agencies such as PW and HDOT as we move forward. Resources I am hopeful that with this new AC group that copies of the PCDP will be at every public meeting as requested NUMEROUS time in the past. I am hopeful that a copy of the supportive PCDP documents submitted to the County by Plan Pacific will be available at AC meetings for the public to have general access to. If this is not possible having hard copies in libraries and the planning office, an creating a place where the public can sit and have access to read them would be helpful and might engage more people. (Yes I am aware of their size.) What good are these documents if they are stored in a box some where at planning? They reflect the history and foundation of the process. I am not speaking solely of the working group reports. Please keep in mind that although you may have access, resources and time to access CDP things on the web, most I speak with do not or have tried and gave up. Access to these documents is especially important for those arriving later. For example was this committee, particularly those who are newer to the process .aware of the documents I speak of? I am sure that Larry Brown will be happy to route you to them and make them available so that you can implement this plan in the spirit and with the intent in which it was created. They are evidence of the foundation of the plan that we are building upon. Criteria for CL I request that the public criteria always be put above County in any print. Additionally I discourage the bold font being used to highlight county criteria points unless the public criteria is also bold. It focuses to much on County. This is the peoples plan. The paradigm needs to shift away from County being the one who dictates to us and to a more community centered base.The County is here to serve us not tell us how tax dollars will or will not be routed.
