Subject: 2% Ballot Intiative
Dear Mayor Kim and Hawaii County Council:
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 INNOVEMBER TO MODIFYTHE EXISTING Open Space and Natural Resources
ORDINANCE BYMAKING 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:
]-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: Janice Crowl-Planas
Address: 313 Kuhilani Place
