Subject: Charter amendment
Dear Council members-
Please let voters decide on the Charter amendment regarding the two planning commissions, for the
following reasons:
. The existing commission has had problems maintaining a quorum. With meetings closer to
member's homes they will be better able to attend.
. It is physically impossible for a Planning commission members to look at every property that they
must vote on, which is the only way they can truly make an informed vote.
. As we've seen on other issues, the problems on the West side are significantly different than on
the east side of the island, such as water quality, run-off affecting reefs and fishing, traffic
control and unchecked growth. Commission members can be better informed about their areas if
they are able to concentrate on the east or west sides of our island.
But most importantly, the voters have a chance to make their wishes heard by voting on this Charter
amendment, please trust the wisdom of the citizens of the island.
Sincerely,
Debbie Hecht
