Aloha County Council Officials,
Why is the County ignoring County Charter amendments aimed at strengthening the 2%
program?
Scores of citizens worked for years to start up the Public Access, Open Space and Natural
Resources Preservation program in 2006. It is funded by 2% of the property tax revenue.
Last year voters approved an amendment calling for a 2% Administrator to acquire properties,
seek matching funds, and pursue grants for stewardship of the lands. Voters also approved a
second amendment to expedite grants to non-profits doing maintenance and stewardship.
Why has neither amendment been acted on? Please support the will of the voters to preserve
and protect our special places!
Mahalo,
