Subject: hear our voices
bear 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 THESE FOLLOWING CHANGES:
1-To set aside 2% of the property tax each and every year for Open Space and Natural
resource acquisition
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 Highwoysuffix 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 3
