MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the Hawaii County Council
FROM: J Yoshimoto, Council Chair
DATE: September 30, 2010
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Bill 194, Draft 2, Relating to the Puna Community
Development Plan (CDP)
Below is a proposed amendment to Bill 194, Draft 2, as suggested by the Puna CDP Action
Committee via Communication No. 664.32, item No. 2. I propose that this amendment be placed in
Chapter 1, Introduction, as a new section on page 1 -7.
The amendment is illustrated via Ramseyer format with respect to the contents of Bill 194, Draft 2, as
follows:
"1.4 SCOPE
The Puna Community Development Plan was developed with an emphasis
on action. Citizens were energized by the vision of the ideas expressed in this
plan becoming reality, resulting in many people spending countless volunteer
hours shepherding this plan to completion. Please do not be confused that a
sentence stating something will happen, and the fact that this plan is adopted by
County Ordinance, means that the action will necessarily happen as shown by
timelines in the plan, or at all. In all cases, implementation of any activity
requires many steps, especially funding. Many more actions, government as well
as community, are required for full implementation. This plan is a statement of
community vision, with broad support."
To conserve paper, attached is a draft copy of only the affected section of the Puna CDP showing the
amendment incorporated therein.
