AARON CHUNG, Ch ' of
IIAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL
FINANCE COlO~IIVIITTEE
Dear Chairman Aaron Chung:
I strongly oppose Bi11121.
13111121, if passed, would increase the levy rate for properties with assessed valuation
that are below $10,000. That is NOT a snore equitable distribution of County revenue
collections.
If there is a proven shortfall in revenues, the first tieing to do is cut back flee cost of
government ire every way possible. If, after cutting. back, there is still a shortfall, then
the levy rate for aII real estate should be increased across tree board to provide the
required revenue as is provided in Chapter 19, Article 11, Section 19-90(c) of tine
Hawaiian County Code. And specifically as set fortis ice the following Section 19-90(c)
sub-paragraphs:
(3) Tine amount of revenue to be raised frown net taxable buildings within each
class shall be divided by flee net taxable valaae of buildings ian fleet class to determine
flee tax rate which shall be expressed ice terms of tax per $1,000 of net taxable buildings
computed to tine nearest cent,
(4) Tlee amount of revenaae to be raised from net taxable lands within each class
shall be divided- by tine east taxable value of lands in fleet class to determine flee tax rate
avhicja hail be expressed in terltns of tax per $1;€D00 of net taxable lands computed to
flee nearest cent.
The ADDITION of a aaeiaeiaaa'aane tax ice Section 19-90(g) is effectively double taxation
and shoaald be challenged coflart. Iaa any eveant it places an improper and totally
aanfair Bearden capon a segnnent of tine total real estate owners least able to bear
tine burden.
