I OPPOSE NEW CA -13 authorizing the Mayor to take the funds for an emergency and not pay back for 5 years. <br />CONSEQUENCE: TAKE THE FUND AND NOT PAY BACK. There is a Disaster Relief Fund that has never been fully <br />funded- WHY? They take it to balance the budget. Right now the Mayor Kim has been stockpiling the funds and <br />not using them. As of 12.31.2018 there is $19,667,000. in the 2% Land Fund and $2.8 million in the Maintenance <br />Fund. This is because there is no one working on this program. see exact language below. <br />2. I SUPPORT CA -9 WHICH PROPOSES A STAFF PERSON TO WORK ONLY ON THE 2% LAND FUND PROGRAM BE <br />HIRED. <br />3. I OPPOSE CA -7 is on the agenda for Friday- <br />- -GUTS THE <br />riday---GUTSTHE FUND to .75%, <br />- -deletes that the land be preserved forever for the use and enjoyment of the people of Hawaii <br />County and <br />• --moves the Maintenance fund to the Code where it will be axed at budget times <br />The 2% Land Fund was created by the people for the people! Do not touch the Charter Amendment. Or <br />You face the wrath of the people for the 4th time. Take funds for emergencies from the Disaster Fund <br />for which it exists. And don't raid that fund for other shortfalls. <br />Mahalo for being pono for land fund, <br />Diane Ware <br />P. O. Box 698 <br />99-7815 Kapoha <br />Volcano HI 96785 <br />1 <br />Comm.
