Subject: Open Space and Natural Resource Ordinance
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 nowl
Sincerely,
Name:Cecelia Ashton
Address:68-1851 Lino Poe Poe ST.
