This year the Commission considered only properties submitted by the public in the 2015

information for past prioritized properties along with an updated Comprehensive List including what
years the suggestion forms were submitted by the public which is sorted by tax map key and district.

In January 2016, the County Department of Parks & Recreation (P&R) awarded its' first PONC
Stewardship Grant to Pohaha I Ka Lani for calendar year 2016 and the group signed an agreement with
P&R to begin stewardship of the property. Maintenance began last year with their first community work
day in January. Planning has begun for the next community gathering and the other aspects of the grant,
including a site plan, education plan, fencing, educational signage, and in-depth stewardship to create a
Native Hawaiian Buffer Zone with the location of the property.

Kaiholena(north & south) and Pa`o`o continues to be periodically monitored and maintained by
the many community groups in North Kohala including Kohala Lihikai. In addition, the National Park
Service (NPS) assists in the maintenance of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail along with the Ala
Kahakai Trail Association, who recently purchased the last remaining parcel of Kaiholena South.
Community groups including Malama Kohala Kahakai and Kohala Lihikai have been working with
Kohala High school students to design and install an interpretive sign at the public access entrance to
Kaiholena. Fishermen and other users of the land continue to keep the shoreline free of trash.
Community individuals and groups have continued to monitor mowing and clean-up of the Rawl
Banyan Trees property with the help of P&R maintenance personnel. The intention of the people
informally stewarding the land is to keep it in open space.

Kipapa Park continues to provide much needed off street parking along with increased road and
pedestrian safety in the area for residents and visitors who frequent the nearby Magic Sands and Pahoehoe
County Beach Parks. The Kipapa ohana and families of lineal descendants to the area have been assisting
the County with clean-up and clearing of brush and vegetation.
Kohanaiki Shores continues to assist the County with tree trimming and trash removal at `O`oma
and the adjacent Kohanaiki lands. The Keiki Surf for the Earth Event at Kohanaiki was held and keiki
painted colorful signs reminding people to take care of the ocean and the beach and signs were placed
along the roadway at `O`oma and Kohanaiki.
Kohanaiki `Ohana along with UH students completed another stewardship project in the fall
surveying cultural and natural resources, photo documentation of flora and fauna and random water
quality monitoring surveys. In addition students from Innovations Public Charter School and Teach for
America have come in to do beach clean-ups along the shoreline.

Long-term plans for the White Sands Mauka parcels are for an expansion of the adjacent Kipapa
Park to provide an additional area for public outdoor recreation. An Archaeological Inventory Survey
will be the next step to identify the numerous historic sites so that further studies can be conducted for
protection and preservation.

Currently, the Hawai`i Wildlife Fund along with community volunteers have been removing non-
native vegetation from along the banks of the estuary/spring-fed pool funded by a grant from the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service. Community members from Na Mamo 0 Kawa have also been assisting
the County with maintenance and rubbish removal and are working on applying for stewardship grant
monies from the County.
The County has also contracted Townscape, Inc. and is working on a resources management plan
for the area including protection of threatened and endangered wildlife along with preservation measures
to protect the numerous cultural and historic sites.
Status of Funds—Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund & Public
Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Maintenance Fund
For the benefit of the County Council, I have attached a summary of both funds and all monies
deposited and disbursed since its establishment.
Management and Stewardship
Since the creation of the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation
Maintenance Fund, monies can now be used for maintenance of lands and easements acquired by the
FUND for specified purposes as outlined in the Hawai`i County Charter, Section 10-16. P&R solicited
for applicants to apply for stewardship grants to assist the County in maintenance and management of
lands acquired with the FUND. Applications from non-profit organizations were submitted for various
properties and to date one stewardship grant has been awarded.

Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
2015 Annual Report to the Mayor
December 28, 2015
Introduction
The HawaiÒi County Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission (PONC) is submitting this 2015 Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor
(Appendix 1) pursuant to Section 2-217 of the HawaiÒi County Code, 1983, 2005 Edition (Appendix
2).
The Commission is advisory to the Mayor and is responsible for annually submitting a
prioritized list of lands to be considered for acquisition. For information on acquisitions completed in
2015 please refer to the Summary of 2015 Acquisitions (Appendix 3). The Commission has also
compiled a report on the Status of all Properties on Past Prioritized Lists, providing detailed
information for each property (Appendix 4) and an Acquisition Status Report (Appendix 5) that
provides a list of properties that were acquired and includes the different funding sources used for each
acquisition.
Appendix 6 is a list of all properties that have been submitted since the inception of the
Commission. This list attests to the informed participation of community groups and individual
citizens interested in the preservation of our islandÓs resources.
In 2012 HawaiÒi County voters approved two charter amendments which impacted this
Commission. The first charter amendment created by Article 10, Section 10-15, PONC Fund (FUND),
sets aside 2% of HawaiÒi CountyÓs property taxes each year to acquire properties as listed in the
amendment (Appendix 7). The second charter amendment which can be found in Article 10, Section
10-16, Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund (Appendix
8), provides funding for maintaining properties acquired by the FUND and contains a list of permitted
maintenance uses.
Included in this report is an appendix describing the Process for Property Acquisition
(Appendix 9) so that the public may be better informed as to how properties are acquired using the
FUND.

In developing the 2015 Prioritized List and site visits to selected properties, the Commission
considered properties submitted on the 2015 Suggestion Forms as well as written and public
testimony related to those submissions. The Commission developed its prioritized ranking order
based upon reported urgency, anticipated use, significance and benefit to the public and special
opportunities available for acquisition and management. This yearÓs total possible score based on
the total number of commissioners was 432. The Commission amended itsÓ rules (Appendix 10) to
include only those properties that scored 50% or higher on the prioritized list for consideration for
purchase. See Appendix 1 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties. One
property that was received and nominated, KaÒawaliÒi Gulch, TMK: (3) 3-6-05:17, failed to meet the
50% or higher threshold and is therefore not included on the prioritized list.
Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists and Acquisitions
Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from
2006-2014 (see Appendix 4). The Commission recommends that properties from previous prioritized
lists continue to be pursued as far as possible unless: the County has already acquired the property; the
property no longer meets the criteria for inclusion (see Appendix 9); there are insufficient funds
available for acquisition; or the County Council has not passed a resolution that would allow the
property to be acquired.
0 ¦¤Α
Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public
The Comprehensive List of Properties (see Appendix 6) is a sequential listing by tax
map key of all properties submitted by the public since 2006.
Commission Meetings
Meeting dates and location for 2015 were:
January 12 Kona July 13 Hilo
March 9 Hilo Septembe14Kona
r
May 11 Kona November 9Hilo
At each of these meetings the Commission welcomed testimony from the public. Interest in the
CommissionsÓ work is evident through increased attendance and testimony by members of the public,
landowners and other interested parties. In addition to these meetings, commissioners presented
information on the program and the application process at various community meetings.
To give equal opportunity to the public every year, the last and first meetings will alternate
between Hilo and Kona so that at different stages all regions of the island can contribute equally into
the process.
In addition to these meetings, the Commission appointed four of its members to a special sub-
committee to conduct site visits to nominated properties that commissioners felt it would be helpful to
see in person. This committee was charged with making visits and then reporting back on their
findings at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Suggestion Form
The Suggestion Form \[revised January 12, 2015\] (see Appendix 11) is available to the public
by request through the County Finance Department or on-line at the web-site below:
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?dbid=1&startid=13770
The Commission considered properties identified on these forms that were submitted by the
public when creating the 2015 Prioritized List. A total of ten Suggestion Forms were received
from the public between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015 (see Appendix 12).
Assessment Criteria Form
The Commission updated the Assessment Criteria Form \[revised January 12, 2015\] (see
Appendix 13). This Assessment Criteria Form was utilized to assess the suggestion forms received
during the aforementioned time period.
Commission and Community Recommendations and Concerns
The following is a listing of recommendations and concerns identified by the Commission:
The commissioners will continue to seek education and training in all aspects of land
acquisition to better accomplish the CommissionsÓ goals.
0 ¦¤Β
The Commission encourages the public to re-nominate properties that do not have a current
County resolution or have not been purchased.
The Commission is concerned that implementation of the stewardship grant awards have been
delayed. With the passage of Bill 90, PONC is addressing this issue.
The Commission encourages non-profit community groups to apply for stewardship grants.
Next Steps
Schedule six Commission meetings alternating between Kona and Hilo in 2016. Schedule
additional meetings as needed.
Strive to schedule meetings with Community Development Plan Committees and other
community groups to explain the process for property acquisition and the use of the FUND.
Publicize the meeting schedule and encourage the public to submit or re-submit suggestion
forms and participate in the process.
Encourage potential partnerships with other governmental agencies, non-profit organizations,
and private entities for land/entitlement acquisitions.
Identify partnerships with non-profit organizations, community groups, and volunteer
organizations to provide management for acquired properties.
Expand commissionersÓ understanding of easements, land trusts and partnerships.
Submit Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor by December 31, 2016.
Continue use of PONC Investigative Ad Hoc Committee to conduct site visits as well as other
designated tasks or assignments.
Expand the role of the Commission to review and evaluate progress of applicants, and submit
reports to Parks and Recreation.

Process for Property Acquisition with Funds from the Public Access,
Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund
Each year approximately $4 million is deposited into the Public Access, Open Space and Natural
Resources Preservation Fund (FUND) pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 42, Section 2-214 of the Hawai‘i County
Code, 1983, 2005 Edition and Article X, Section 10-15 of the Hawai‘i County Charter. These funds are 2% of
all real property tax revenues, including penalties and interest collected by Hawai‘i County each year.
1.The public may submit suggestion forms to the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources
PONC suggestion forms may be found on-line at:
Preservation Commission (PONC).
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?startid=13770&dbid=1 and are due on or before
the last business day of June each year. Suggestion forms received after this date will be considered by
the Commission the following year. The Commission reviews all suggestion forms, including additional
information submitted i.e. pictures, maps, testimony from local residents, archaeological information,
real estate listings, land surveys, etc. and also welcomes public testimony at PONC meetings.
2.The Commission prioritizes a list of properties from the suggestion forms that were submitted for that
year, compiles all information, creates the Prioritized List of Properties and submits an Annual Report to
st
Annual Reports to the Mayor may be found on-line at:
the Mayor each year by December 31.
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?startid=13770&dbid=1
3.Once a property is ranked on the list, a member of the Hawai‘i County Council may submit a resolution
to authorize the Director of Finance to proceed with negotiations for acquisition. Community members
are welcome to advocate for this resolution. Once the County Council approves a resolution to acquire
the property, the Commission will no longer consider the property for future prioritized lists.
4.The Department of Finance, Property Management Division (PMD) may or may not open negotiations
to purchase the property. Factors affecting this decision could be: if there is a willing seller, if there is a
community group that is willing to manage the property, if there are matching funds or if there are other
properties that are higher priorities for acquisition.
5.The County is more likely to acquire properties that have commitments for matching funds. Matching
funds maximize the purchasing power of the FUND. The best use of FUND monies is to be used for
dollar for dollar matching funds. The party who submitted the suggestion form will work with the PMD
and/or Council Member to seek matching funds. To date, matching funds have been obtained from U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USF&W), Recovery Lands Acquisition Program (for endangered species)
and the State of Hawai‘i, Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP). Sources for other matching
funds could possibly be obtained from Office of Hawaiian Affairs for cultural sites and from the Federal
Emergency Management Administration for flood plain or flood prone lands.
Additional Information:
Article X, Section 10-15 of the Hawai‘i County Charter stipulates what lands may be purchased with these
funds:(see excerpt from section below)
(a)Monies in this fund shall be used solely to:
(1)Purchase or otherwise acquire lands or property entitlements in the County of Hawaii for
public outdoor recreation and education, including:
(A)Access to beaches and mountains;
1
(B)Preservation of historic or culturally important land areas and sites;
(C)Protection of natural resources, significant habitat or eco-systems including buffer
zones;
(D)Preservation of forests, beaches, coastal areas, natural beauty and agricultural
lands; and
(E)Protection of watershed lands to preserve water quality and water supply.
Expenditures for PONC Acquisitions
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=65627&dbid=1 This report shows that the County
of Hawai‘i has spent $32,439,176 to obtain land in Hawai‘i County for public use. $24,840,337 was used from
the FUND; $5,598,838 was obtained from matching funds (USF&W & LLCP) and a private donation of
$2,000,000 from Kohanaiki Shores, LLC.
The Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund (administered by
the Dept. of Parks & Recreation (P&R):
There is also money available for community groups to assist the
County with stewardship and maintenance of properties purchased with the FUND. The next period that P&R
will be accepting stewardship grant applications will be July – August 2016.
