Dear Chair Yoshimoto ,
I am a resident of Keaau, a supporter of our local businesses and a home owner, a tax payer and voter.
And I am writing to ask that you support Bill No. 49, Relating to Public Access, Open Space, and
Natural Resources Preservation Fund.
By suspending the transfer of 2% of real property tax revenue to the Open Space fund, Mayor Kenoi's
budget is balanced, and ensures the continuation of vital county programs and services. During times of
economic crisis, it is important to keep people employed, because workers, like me, contribute to the
economic health of our communities by supporting local businesses and charitable organizations.
It is my understanding that the Mayor's recent revised budget leaves 55 positions unfunded, which will
make it even more difficult for our county to deliver needed government services. Please preserve jobs
and avoid furloughs to give our communities a fighting chance to recover from the economic challenges
we all now face.
The action called for in Bill 49 will provide a temporary, but necessary, relief. I strongly support Mayor
Kenoi in his request to suspend the transfer of 2% of the real property tax revenue to the Open Space
Fund and I strongly urge you to support Bill No. 49, too.
Sincerely,
Zachary & Lorilyn Montizor
