Subject: Open Space and Natural Resourse Acquisition
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:
I-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 at. 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: Joseph N. Castolli
