Subject: Comm.461 Wednesday November 3rd
Aloha County Council Members and Mayor Roth,
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 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!
