TO: Stacy K. 1-Iiga, Chair
1-Iawaii County Council
FROM: Bob Jacobson r"' e _
Council Member
DATE: November 18, 2005
SUBJECT: Bill 171 (Draft 2) to amend Ordinance No. OS 85, regarding the Public Access, Open
Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
The changes made by this amendment have been strongly recommended by Corporation Counsel
staff responsible for legal as~3istance to this. commission.
Drafted by Corporation Counsel staff, this bill adds language to Ordinance No. OS 85, regarding
commissioners' terms on the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission.
Draft 2 changes wording regarding the beginning of the six-month period for submitting a
priority list of lands. The beginning date is .changed from within six months of "appointment" to
within six months of "being confirmed."
Hawaii County Charter section 13-4 (regarding Boards anal Commissions) applies, by default, in
cases of Commissions creat~:.d by charter. 1Towever, the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural
Resources Preservation Cor~~mission was created by ordina ce rather than by charter. As a result,
the necessary language desC~°ibina the commissioners' terms was inadvertently omitted from the
ordinance. Therefore, the appropr€ate language taken directly from section 13-4 of the Charter is
used as the basis of the attuclBed bill that amends Ordinance No. OS 85.
Should you have any questions, please call me.
