Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council:
PLEASE PUT THE QUESTION ON THE BALLOT AND LET HAWAII COUNTY VOTERS
DECIDE IN NOVEMBER TO MODIFY THE EXISTING Open Space and Natural
Resources ORDINANCE BY MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:
1-To set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open Space and Natural
resource acquisition and
2-to eliminate the limit of $5 million that can be held in the fund.
WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO HONOR over 9,000 people who have signed this Petition.
Citizens have been frustrated by conflicting instructions from the County as to the
timelines and the stringent application of the arbitrary and ambiguous criteria that the
County has imposed on this process. We ask the County to include signatures of voters
that:
1- forgot to write the st. ave. or highway suffix as part of their residence addresses
2- forgot to put the year 2006 in the date column.
Both of these criteria are clearly implied. We believe that the County should be using
petition information to qualify signatures not looking for insignificant reasons to
disqualify voter's signatures.
Please put the question on the November 2006 Ballot now!
Sincerely,
Lowell Grant
