Dear Hawaii County Council:
Please let a dream come true for myself and others like me. If we can
keep special places for the futuer i hope that our children will
forgive use for what we have done.
Please pass the Resolution on JULY 19,2006 to declare that the
2%Ballot Initiative has enough signatures to 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,
Name: Baili Anne Schilling Qf c
