Which authorizes the Mayor to take the funds for an emergency and not pay <br />back for 5 years. There is already a Disaster Relief Fund that has not been fully funded. It should <br />be, but not by taking the 2% LFP money to balance the budget. The 2% LFP has been stockpiled <br />and not used for its INTENDED purpose. As of 12.31.2018 there was $19,667,000 in the 2% Land <br />Fund and $2.8 million in the Maintenance Fund. <br />I love our Mayor, but I do not support CA -13. I believe that there are many others who oppose <br />CA -13, but are simply unaware of this proposal. <br />I SUPPORT CA -9 A STAFF PERSON TO WORK ONLY ON THE 2% LAND FUND SHOULD PROGRAM <br />BE HIRED. <br />I OPPOSE CA -7 It: <br />* GUTS THE LPF FUND to .75%, <br />* Deletes that the land be preserved forever for the use and enjoyment of the people of <br />Hawaii County and <br />* Moves the Maintenance fund to the Code where it will be axed at budget times. <br />Respectfully, <br />Aloha, Peace, Love, & Music <br />David Hunt <br />Honokaa, HI 96727 <br />1 <br />Comm. No. 21.79 <br />
