Legaspi <br /> County Clerk <br /> • County of Hawaii • <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Mr. Legaspi: <br /> Re: Ordinance Bill No.. 3-42. <br /> Pursuant to Sections. 5-1. 4 (j) and. 3-13 of the County <br /> Charter, I hereby veto Ordinance Bill No.. 342. <br /> As presently worded, .Chapter 2 , Article 8 , Section 7 <br /> of the Hawaii County Code is the same as the language found <br /> in Section 14-4 (a) . of the Hawaii County Charter. <br /> Section 14-4 (a) provides : <br /> "All public property and equipment are to <br /> • be treated as a public trust and are not to be <br /> used in a proprietary manner or for the personal [ <br /> purposes without proper consent. csC <br /> Thus, if Chapter- 2 , Article 8 , Section 7 were amended <br /> by Bill No.. 342 to absolutely preclude the use of public <br /> property for personal purposes., the Charter would, nevertheless , <br /> continue to allow the use of public property for proprietary <br /> or personal purposes if proper consent is obtained. The <br /> passage of Bill No- 342 would not have the effect of amending ! <br /> • Section 14-4 (a) of the County Charter. Any amendment of <br /> the County Charter must be in accordance with Article XV of <br /> the County Charter. Since :Section 14-4 (a) of the Charter <br /> remains in full force and effect, `I see no reason to approve <br /> Ordinance Bill No.. 342. <br /> To insure that the ends of Bill No. 342 are carried <br /> out, I will recommend to the Charter Commission that it <br /> carefully review Section 14-4 (a) of the Hawaii County • <br /> Charter , in order to determine whether all personal use of <br /> • <br /> coT44.M.
