TO: Aaron Chung, Council Member
Chairman Finance Committee
FROM: James Y. Arakaki, Council Cha'
Hawai'i County Council
RE: Lava Lands Lots
Please place this communication on your Finance Committee agenda, for
discussion and possible policy formulation. We need a clear policy to
address the gifting of lava inundated lands that tax payers do not want and
would like to give it as a gift to the County to avoid paying property taxes.
Deputy Finance Director S.K. Schutte, recommends that this property be
sold at a foreclosure auction to avoid liabilities to the county.

FROM: S. K. SCHUTTE, DEPUTY FINANCE DIRECTO
SUBJECT: LAVA LAND LOTS
Enclosed is a copy of a tax bill for a lot in Kalapana that is inundated with lava.
The owner would like to give this parcel to the County at no charge, as he feels
the property to be of no value to him at this time, and is not willing to keep the
real property taxes current.
I believe the County has in the past, received such properties as gifts, however,
one must assume that the liability the County must assume is not cost effective.
In conclusion it is my suggestion that any property that is inundated by lava
should be considered a liability and not accepted. In fact it should be allowed to
lapse until it qualifies to be sold at public auction. At least the owner of record
retains the liability instead of the County.
