Aloha County Council Officials,
.
Why is the County ignoring County Charter amendments aimed at strengthening1he 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,
JJ Wassell
