Subject: Written testimony regarding BIL 217 Draft 02 2018-2020 j
Dear County Council Members:
Regarding regarding BIL 217 Draft 02 2018-2020,I respect the desire of owners, lessees, and residents of Waipi'o Valley(and surrounds)to
be free from unreasonable vehicular and foot traffic, especially owing to its sacredness of place. We all desire such accommodations in our
own neighborhoods. I have never entered the Valley,because I have not yet felt invited to.However, I am uncomfortable with restricting the
public's ability to encounter and commune with publicly-owned places. If portions of the Valley are publicly-owned and would become off
limits due to this Bill,I would advocate instead for an alternate management arrangement focused on limiting access to the Valley to Hawaii
Island residents, as well as a daily use entrance cap and tracking use activities.
County Clerk,please include my written testimony as par of the official record.
Thank you, and with respect and aloha,
Christopher Hawkins
