Dear County Council, - .74' r
e
It is your responsibility to know how all the new developments and those that have already been
approved for years to come are affecting the island's resources today before you continue to approve even
more developments.
Please see this petition that has 557 signatures, asking you to look at what is happening to the island's
resources as of today before you continue to approve even more developments because we are having
power outages and water and landfill issues.
This petition will give you many News articles that prove the Big Island resources are having issues
today.
When will the focus turn to addressing the island's resources before you keep approving even more
developments?
Being able to have power, water, and a place to put our rubbish is for the safety of all who live here and
this needs to be a priority.
Just last week, an extra 100 rooms were approved for a hotel, yet there has been no change to improve
the island's resources.
For the reasons just stated please OPPOSE Res. 51-25.
Please OPPOSE Bill 17 because they want to change from Agriculture to Urban. This will make it so they
will not have to do an Environmental Impact State and this is important for the island to have these
performed for the safety of the land and the community. Plus, the resources on the island need to be
addressed before adding even more urban areas. We need agricultural land to be able to be able to grow
more of our own food rather than import it.
Please OPPOSE Bill 18 for the exact reason as Bill 17 and the fact that the island doesn't have the
resources for all these new developments because there are years worth of developments that have
already been approved for the future and yet the island resources have not been addressed.
Please Oppose Res. 57-25 because there are many other things the island needs to spend this kind of
money on. For example, there are no working bathrooms at Old A's, and the sewage system needs to be
addressed desperately. Being able to give out Electric Citations that will cost over $249,000 the first year
and over $241,000 every year after, the island needs bathrooms and having a proper sewage system,

among other things. Bathrooms for the community should be a priority over Electronic Citations. Thank
you,

Help Big Island Resources and Infrastructure Stay Safe For
ALL Who Live Here and Visit
We voted out the former mayor, Mitch Roth, because he was all about more and more development
without taking into account the impact on the lives of the people who live here. The infrastructure does
NOT support more large developments.
Thank you,
