as amended), which establishes requirements for the naming of County parks and recreational
facilities.

Edition, as amended), relating to the parks and recreational facility schedule, listing of parks in
Puna, is amended by amending the name of the "Isaac Hale Memorial Park" to read as follows:
]Isaac Kepo`okalani Hale Beach Park".

or circumstance, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications
