Subject: Resolution authorizing the Director of Finance to enter into negotiations for the
acquisition of Punalu`u Beach Park and adjacent lands, pursuant to Ordinance No. 05-166
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the Director of Finance to enter into negotiations for the
acquisition of Punalu`u Beach Park and adjacent lands pursuant to Ordinance No. 05-166. This
area has been prioritized by the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission as number five in its report to the Mayor dated April 5, 2006 with a 70% criteria
score, and elevated to number two by the Mayor in Communication No. 909 dated May 18,
2006, citing the fact that the County park including the pavilion is not owned by the County
government and the importance of acquiring permanent ownership so long term improvements
and infrastructure can be planned.
Please note that the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
designated Punalu`u Beach Park, Category A: "Lands or property entitlements with high public
interest, imminent needs for acquisition, and largest benefit to the general public.", and meeting
Criteria(s) 1,2,3,4,5: "l) Assesses whether the land or property entitlement meets the purposes of

furthers the vision and goals of Hawaii County's 2005 General Plan, 3) Assesses the level of
community support, including reported urgency, based on the community input process, 4)
Assesses whether the land or property entitlement could be acquired using the Hawaii County
