COUNTY CLERK
COUNTY OF HAWAII
RECEIVED

DatC L
Bill 256.
Please clarify how Bill 256 Section 19- 53(a)(2) solves these problems. I
have seen how big investors develop ag land. Their trucks haul heavy
materials and thereby damage the public roads. Then, the weight tax pays for
repairs that may one day be made. Meanwhile, the rest of us maneuver around
the damaged areas in the roads so we will not have to pay for the repairs by
repairing our shocks and other suspension components. Apparently, a neighbor
gets rental income from thieves and violent criminals who have committed
those offenses against me. We pay for the emergency services through
property taxes. The big investors reap financial rewards and should pay for
the repairs to the infrastructure and the community.
Please clarify the size of homeowner "parcels" in Section 19- 53(e)(2). For
example, how many acres of a 90 -acre parcel is assessed at a homeowner rate
if there are 100 campers each paying $150 /month for a "family membership"
residing in tents distributed evenly across the 90 acres? Or, would that
situation be addressed under Section 19- 53(e)(2)(b)(3)?
Why does Section 19- 53(8)(2) specify 2009? Why is Section 19 -53(g) in the
proposed law?
Can you hire a legislative analyst to do this work for me?
Can you make these bills available in assisted reader text format?
