Angel; Isbell, Virginia; <br /> counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: 2% Property Tax for Open Space and Natural Resource Acquisition <br /> <br /> <br /> Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council: <br /> PLEASE PUT THE QUESTION ON THE BALLOT AND LET HAWAII COUNTY VOTERS <br /> DECIDE IN NOVEMBER TO MODIFY THE EXISTING Open Space and Natural <br /> Resources ORDINANCE BY MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: <br /> 1-To set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open <br /> Space and Natural resource acquisition and <br /> 2-to eliminate the limit of $5 million that can be held in the fund. <br /> <br /> WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO HONOR over 9,000 people who have signed this Petition. <br /> Citizens have been frustrated by conflicting instructions from the County as to the <br /> timelines and the stringent application of the arbitrary and ambiguous criteria <br /> that the County has imposed on this process. We ask the County to include <br /> signatures of voters that: <br /> 1- forgot to write the at. ave. or highway suffix as part of their residence <br /> addresses <br /> 2- forgot to put the year 2006 in the date column. <br /> Both of these criteria are clearly implied. We believe that the County should be <br /> using petition information to qualify signatures not looking for insignificant <br /> reasons to disqualify voter's signatures. <br /> Please put the question on the November 2006 Ballot now! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Horace M. Clark <br /> 73-4404 Punawele Street <br /> Kailua Kona, HI 96740 <br /> r^.> <br /> crs <br /> i) C- <br /> ~ r) <br /> C N, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> COMM.
