(NPS) assists in the maintenance of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail along with the Ala Kahakai Trail
Association, who acquired 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.

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. This past year, the community proposed the Bikeshare Docking Station at Kipapa Park.
Its installation provided residents and visitors with another form of commuting. 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. The Kipapa ohana and families of lineal descendants to the area continue to have
clean-up days to clear brush and vegetation. With the Archaeological Inventory Survey completed, we can
look forward to stewardship efforts in preservation, conservation in open spaces.

For the past couple of years the County has been working with Townscape, Inc. on a resource
management plan for the area to address the protection of habitat; threatened and endangered wildlife along
with preservation measures to protect the identified cultural sites for Kawa, Ka'u. Townscape, Inc. has
completed their task in a comprehensive management report and has affected the stewarding efforts in a
positive way.
In 2017,Na Mamo 0 Kawa received their first stewarding approval for Kawa and Kawa'a Bay,Ka'u.
Their notable efforts in working with the community and the county reinforce application efforts of the Kawa
Management Plan by Townscape,Inc.
The various surveys for both Kahua Olohu and Kahuku locations have been completed and now ready
for stewarding. Kahuku, the largest PONC acquisition, was known for ancient traditions of honoring the
Hawaiian god of Peace, Lono. One of these traditions is called, "The Makahiki Games" during the season of
the Makahiki, which lasts for four months—usually November through February. The Makahiki games were
the ancient Hawaiian version of the Olympics and contestants included trained athletes, Ali'i and commoners.
These contests helped warriors to stay active, prepare for wartime and also served as training and practice
opportunities for commoners in the event they were called on to fight in the future.
An article by Roberts Hawai`i says, "the winners of each ahupuaa would be invited by the
Ali'i to challenge the champions from other ahupuaa and often had stories and songs written in their
honor. Like the Olympics, these games encouraged good sportsmanship, friendly rivalries and gave
people the opportunity to bring honor to their family and home district." ( (Roberts Hawaii, 2017)

STATUS OF FUNDS
Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund, and
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
With the establishment 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. The PONC Commission review receive applications from P&R, evaluates; recommends, and
report their findings to P&R. P&R processes according to the charter and awards qualified applicants
of grant monies requested.
Since the establishment of the maintenance fund, P&R has successfully awarded monies to
steward almost half of the PONC acquisitions. With surveys now complete for Kahuku, Ka'u,
Kipapa Park, Kailua Kona, Kahua Olohu, Ka'u, and Pohiki, Puna, it is vital that qualified non-profit
organizations that meet the criteria and are interested in stewardship be considered for funding.
The County will continue to encourage members in the community and work with various
agencies and groups to establish partnerships for overall management of these lands.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Finally, as my formal recommendation in connection with what has been submitted by the
Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission, I would recommend
that the County Council accept the list as presented by the Commission.
The 2017 Prioritized List is as follows:

Honorable Harry Kim, Mayor
County of Hawai'i
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawai'i 96720
Dear Mayor Kim:
Attached is the 2017 Annual Report of the County of Hawai'i Public Access, Open
Space and Natural Resource Preservation Commission (PONC), pursuant to Section 2-217
(2) of the Hawai'i County Code.
This has been an exciting and momentous year not only for our community, but also
for our commission. We have learned so much about the many different cultural areas and
historical sites that we were never aware of, due to the diligence of local communities,
various organizations, and other concerned constituents trying to seek out the help of the
PONC Commission. This gave us the opportunity to collaborate with the administration,
fine-tune the process for the applicants, the commissioners, in order to recommend in our
advisory capacity, the best use for the PONC Preservation Fund.
During our commission meetings, we heard the testimonies of many individuals in
bringing an awareness of the importance of our culture and of our recommendations. We
hope to set precedence in the quality of our culture and how we as a community can become
a generation that will leave a legacy in communication, maintenance, and preservation of
these cultural sites for the PONC Maintenance Fund.
Thank you for your support and the staff of the County of Hawai'i, including these
that have been patient with all of us, Maxine Cutler (Commission Secretary), Amy Self
(Deputy Corporation Counsel), and Hamana Ventura (Property Manager) have all guided
us with excellent advice in going forward.
Again, thank you especially for your continued support for PONC funding and time
in considering our recommendations. We could not do our important work without you.

County of Hawaii
Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission (PONC)
2017 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE MAYOR
December28, 2017
INTRODUCTION:
The Hawaii County Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission (PONC) is submitting this 2017 Annual Report and Prioritized List (Appendix 1)
to the Mayor pursuant to Section 2-217 of the Hawaii 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. The Commission has also compiled a
report on the Status of all Properties on Past Prioritized Lists, providing detailed information
for each property (Appendix 3) and an Acquisition Status Report (Appendix 4) that provides a
list of properties that were acquired and includes the different funding sources used for each
acquisition.
This Commission has provided a Comprehensive List of all properties that have been
submitted by the public (Appendix 5), since the inception of the Commission; attests to the
informed participation of community groups and individual citizens interested in the preservation
of our island's resources.
In 2012 Hawaii 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 Hawaii County's property taxes each year to acquire properties
as listed in the amendment (Appendix 6). 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 7), 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 8) so that the public may be better informed as to how properties are acquired
using the FUND.

In developing the 2017 Prioritized List, the Commission formed an Ad Hoc Committee to
conduct site visits and interviews pertaining to selected properties submitted on the 2017
Suggestion Forms. The Commission also heard public testimony and reviewed written testimony
related to those submissions. The Commission developed its prioritized ranking order based upon
reported urgency, anticipated use, significance, benefit to the public, special opportunities
available for acquisition, and management plan. This year's total possible score based on the total
number of commissioners was 384. In 2015, the Commission amended its' rules (Appendix 9) to
include only those properties that scored 50% or higher on the prioritized list for consideration.
(Appendix 1 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties.) Whereas, two
properties that were nominated and received failed to meet the 50% or higher threshold and one
nomination was withdrawn by the original submitter. See chart below.

STATUS OF PROPERTIES ON PAST PRIORITIZED LISTS AND ACQUISITIONS
Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized
Lists from 2006-2016 (Appendix 3). 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 (Appendix 8); there
are insufficient funds available for acquisition; or the County Council has not passed a
resolution that would allow the property to be acquired.
COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF PROPERTIES SUBMITTED BY THE PUBLIC
The Comprehensive List of Properties (Appendix 5) is a sequential listing by tax map
key number of all properties submitted by the public since 2006.
COMMISSION MEETINGS
Meeting dates and location for 2017 were:
January 9
Kona
September 11 Kona
March 13
Hilo
October 9 (Special Meeting) Hilo
May 8
Kona
November 13 Hilo
July 10
Hilo
At each of these meetings the Commission welcomed testimony from the public. With an
increase of public interest and attendance by landowners and other interested parties continues in
the PONC acquisitions. In addition to these meetings, commissioners present gathered
information of the program and the application process at various community developmentmeetings.
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 (Ad Hoc) to conduct site visits to nominated properties that com-
missioners felt would be helpful to see in person. Members of the PONC Ad Hoc Committee
was charged with conducting site visits, interview interested applicants, and reports back to the
commission of their findings at regularly scheduled meeting.
SUGGESTION FORM
The Suggestion Form [revised November 13, 2017] (Appendix 10) 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= l &startid=13770
The Commission considered properties identified on these forms that were submitted
by the public when creating the 2017 Prioritized List. A total of 13 Suggestion Forms were
received from the public between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017.
Page 3
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FORM
On November 13, 2017, the Commission took on the task to modify and update the
current Assessment Criteria Form as allowed in the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the
Hawai'i County. (Appendix 9) The modification effected all three criteria requirements and
scoring. This modification gave a clear transparency to determine the prioritized results. For the
scoring: Criteria 1, changed from 20 to 40; Criteria 2, changed from 16 to 30, and Criteria 3,
changed from 16 to 30; resulting in a total of 100 points. (Appendix 11). This Assessment
Criteria Form was utilized to assess the suggestion forms received during the aforementioned
time period.
STEWARDSHIP GRANTS
In 2012 Hawaii County voters approved a charter amendment which can be found in
Article 10, Section 10-16, Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Maintenance Fund, which provides funding for maintaining properties acquired by the PONC
Fund. In 2017, the PONC Commission expressed their concerns in assisting the County
Department of Parks and Recreation (P&R) in revising the current Stewardship Grant
Application for the task of reviewing eligible applications and making funding recommend -
dations to P&R. Historically, the first of these grants, awarded in 2015, to stewardship project
that began in 2016. P6haha I Ka Lani was the first recipient of the stewardship grant for the
beautiful Waipi`o Valley Lookout.
Since then, seven additional eligible Stewardship Grant Applications (Appendix 12) were
received by P&R and passed on to the PONC Commission to review and advise funding
recommendations. All seven applications were recommended for funding at PONC's
Special Meeting held on October 9, 2017; providing they met the requirements as defined in
the Hawaii County Charter Section 10-16(g).
The PONC Commission looks forward to working with P&R and with legal counsel to
modify and clarify the grant application process "making it user friendly" and as an effective
tool for the County to use to help steward the properties which are purchased with PONC
funding.
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 Commissions' goals.
➢ 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 very concerned about the process and the form that is currently
being used for Stewardship Grant applications. There is also some lack of clarity
about what expenses are eligible for funding using the Maintenance Fund.
➢ The Commission encourages non-profit community groups to apply for stewardship
grants.
Page 4
NEXT STEPS
➢ Schedule six Commission meetings alternating between Kona and Hilo in 2018.
Due to budget cuts no, other additional meetings are needed.
➢ Strive to schedule meetings with Community Development Action 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 by the last day of February.
➢ Encourage potential partnerships with other governmental agencies, non-profit organi-
zations, and private entities for land/entitlement acquisitions.
➢ Identify partnerships with non-profit organizations, community groups, and volunteer
organizations to provide management for acquired properties.
➢ Publicize meeting schedule, agendas, and encourage the public to submit or re -submit
Stewardship Grant Application with P&R by August 31st
➢ Submit Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor by December 31, 2018.

The duties and responsibilities of this commission are:
(1) To develop and submit to the mayor an island -wide prioritized list of
qualifying lands worthy of preservation. The commission shall give emphasis
to land acquisitions where the County's contribution can be leveraged to
obtain State, Federal, and/or private lands. Priorities shall be listed on an
island -wide rather than district basis. The list shall include the significance of
each parcel or entitlement identified, the reason for its priority, and its
anticipated use after acquisition;
(2) To update this list at any time, but at least annually by December 31 of each
year;
(3) To explore methods of funding land acquisition and make recommendations to
the mayor;
(4) To review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the director of the
department of parks and recreation regarding applications for stewardship
grants from the maintenance fund, within six months of receipt of each
application. Recommendations shall address whether grant applicants have
the ability to complete their proposed projects according to the project plan, on
time, and within cost estimates, in accordance with section 10-16(h) of the
Charter;
(5) To review stewardship grant applications, business plans, agreements, and
other documentation accompanying grant applications. The commission may
also conduct interviews and perform site visits and other activities necessary
to formulate a recommendation; and

§ 2-217 HAWAII COUNTY CODE
(6) To review stewardship grant recipient performance reports, conduct
interviews, and perform site visits and other activities necessary to verify that
grant objectives are being met. The commission shall forward its findings to

Section 2-218. Prioritized list of qualifying lands worthy of preservation.
(a) The prioritized list developed by the commission shall be submitted to the mayor
for comments and recommendation. Within sixty days after receipt, the mayor will
submit the list to the council with comments and recommendations. The council
shall, by resolution, select the land or lands to be preserved. Under no
circumstances shall the purchase price paid for a property exceed the appraised
value as prepared by an independent appraiser engaged by the County. Where
there are multiple lands under consideration at any one time, priority shall be
given to coastal lands and lands where matching funding is available to leverage
the County contribution.
(b) Negotiations for acquisition of lands to be preserved shall occur between the County
and the seller or its commissioned agent, or a licensed broker only. The commission
shall have no role in the negotiations other than in its advisory capacity.
(c) Appraisals, title reports, surveying and other costs incidental to the acquisition of
land shall be permitted uses of the public access, open space, and natural resources
preservation fund.
(d) Adequate staff to carry out the provisions of this article and to manage the land
acquired shall be provided in the department of finance to maximize the use of
available funds by minimizing the payment of commission to outside agents to put
together funding plans and to ensure that the County is a good steward of any land
that comes under its control through this article.
(2005, ord 05-166, sec 5; am 2007, ord 07-21, sec 2; am 2015, ord 15-97, sec 8.)

known as the budget stabilization fund is created.
(b) The purpose of the budget stabilization fund shall be a temporary, supplemental
source of funds for the County to use during times of financial hardships while a
plan for cost reduction or revenue enhancement is developed. Additionally, the
fund may be used to insulate general fund programs and current service levels
from:
(1) Revenue shortfalls to minimize the need for budget cuts or tax increases;
(2) A revenue reduction due to a change in state or federal legislation; or
(3) Slower revenue growth that typically occurs during an economic recession.

TO THE
SEVENTH
H.C. CHARTER ARTICLE 10, SECTION 10-16
December 28, 2017
Section 10-16. Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Maintenance Fund.
(a) The purpose of the public access, open space, and natural resources preservation
maintenance fund is to accrue and use moneys for maintenance of lands and easements
acquired by the public access, open space, and natural resources preservation fund. The
maintenance fund will ensure that money is dedicated to preserve the land, promote
public safety, and maintain a healthy stewardship.
(b) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions apply:
"Maintenance" means to preserve and conserve lands and easements acquired by
the public access, open space, and natural resources preservation fund and keep them in
good repair for public safety.
"Maintenance fund" means a separate fund that holds moneys directed from: 1)
the general fund and property tax revenues; or 2) designated grants, private contributions,
proceeds from the sale of general obligation bonds, council appropriations, and any other
source of revenue.
(c) There is established a public access, open space, and natural resources preservation
maintenance fund (hereinafter "maintenance fund"). The maintenance fund shall be
administered and managed by the department of parks and recreation. The financial
aspects of the maintenance fund shall be handled by the department of finance.
(d) Deposits due to the maintenance fund.
(1) In adopting each fiscal year's operating budget, the council shall appropriate one-
quarter of one per cent of all real property tax revenue (including interest and
penalties) to the maintenance fund. Deposits to the maintenance fund shall occur
on a quarterly basis at a minimum.
(2) Additional revenue deposited in the maintenance fund may consist of grants and
private contributions intended for the purpose of this section, proceeds from the
sale of general obligation bonds authorized and issued for the purpose of this
section, council appropriations for the purpose of this section, and any other
source of revenue.
(e) Accounting for the maintenance fund; interest bearing accounts; reporting by the
department of finance.
(1) All moneys in the maintenance fund shall be deposited in interest bearing
accounts until needed. Any interest shall accrue to the maintenance fund.
(2) Moneys in the maintenance fund shall be identified separately for:
(A) Funding received from the real property tax revenue including interest and
penalties; and
(B) Funding received from grants and private contributions, and any other
source of revenue, and its interest earned, which:
i. Shall be itemized and earmarked for specific projects for the lands
or easements.
ii. Shall not be subjected to the maximum accrual of funds limit
provided in subsection (f).
(3) Financial statements shall be posted each month on the public access, open space,
and natural resources preservation fund web site.
(f) Maximum accrual limit in maintenance fund; exemption to funding.
(1) Only moneys derived from real property tax revenue, its interest, and its penalties
shall be included in the computation of the maximum accrual limit for the
maintenance fund. All other moneys specifically directed to the maintenance
fund shall be held separately from those moneys in the maintenance fund that
originated from real property tax revenues (including interest and penalties), and
shall not be subjected to the maximum accrual limit.
(2) The maximum accrual limit shall not exceed $3,000,000.
(3) At the end of any fiscal year in which the maintenance fund holds unencumbered
funds derived from real property tax revenue (including interest and penalties) of
at least $3,000,000, any unencumbered amount in excess of that $3,000,000 shall
be permanently transferred to the general fund balance.
(4) Exemption to funding. If the maintenance fund holds $3,000,000 in
unencumbered funds derived from real property tax revenue (including interest
and penalties), then the council and the executive branch do not need to add more
money to the maintenance fund until the next budget cycle. This exemption shall
not release the administration from its mandatory duty to maintain and preserve
lands and easements acquired by the public access, open space, and natural
resources preservation fund in good repair for public safety each fiscal year.
(g) The maintenance fund shall be used solely for public safety maintenance and preservation
of those lands and easements acquired by the public access, open space, and natural
resources preservation fund, and may be used only for expenditures directly related to its
purpose. Expenditures by the administration or stewardship grants presumed to be
directly related are as follows:
(1) Reparation (fixing, mending, repair work, and servicing);
(2) Preservation (damage control, salvaging, safekeeping, and safeguarding);
(3) Conservation of soil, forests, shorelines, native wildlife, streams, wetlands,
watershed, and floodways;
(4) Restoration (replacement, reclamation, reconditioning, and remediation);
(5) Wildfire and fire prevention;
(6) Repair of existing buildings to meet the current code requirements, if the building
is deemed reasonable to save;
(7) Replacing signs to meet the current code requirements;
(8) Installation, repair, or replacement fencing and gate or access mechanisms;
(9) Installation or repair of cattle guards;
(10) Mitigation of flooding problems including repair or restoration of existing
culverts, drainage features, or other similar flood control mitigation;
(11) Archeological survey and buffering of Native Hawaiian historical or cultural sites
after appropriate consultation with Native Hawaiian descendants and cultural
practitioners;
(12) Biological studies for the protection of Native Hawaiian species of plants and
animals; or
(13) Mitigation of Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues that may arise
during the course of public safety maintenance and preservation.
41
Moneys in the maintenance fund shall not be used for planning, design, development, or
construction of new buildings, facilities, or infrastructure including roads, paths, bridges,
culverts, ramps, or drainage features. Money in the maintenance fund shall also not be used for
mitigation of Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues for any new buildings, facilities,
or infrastructure. Payment to resolve these aforementioned issues shall be from the capital
improvement projects budget or allotments derived from the general fund.
(h) Stewardship Grants. Moneys may also be used to provide grants-in-aid for projects,
which uses are reflected in subsection (g).
(1) An award of a stewardship grant shall be by council resolution. Stewardship
grants may be awarded only until moneys in the maintenance fund are
extinguished. Grants shall be awarded on the basis of ability of the stewardship
organization to complete the project on time and within cost estimates.
(2) Only 501(c)3 nonprofits or an organization that operates under the umbrella of a
501(c)3 nonprofit, and that can complete a project for the good of the community,
shall be considered for a stewardship grant.
(3) Public notice by the department of finance of the availability of the stewardship
grants shall be placed in two newspapers of general circulation, as well as

the organization that operates under the umbrella of a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization shall receive a salary or payment for labor or receive any
reimbursement for the stewardship work on the project. The 501(c)3 nonprofit

TO THE
EIGHTH
PROCESS for PROPERTY ACQUISITION with FUNDS
from the PUBLIC ACCESS, OPEN SPACE AND
NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVAZTION FUNDS
December 28, 2017
Process for Property Acquisition with Funds from the Public Access,
Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund
Each year approximately $5.3 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 Hawaii
County Code, 1983, 2005 Edition and Article X, Section 10-15 of the Hawaii County Charter. These funds
are 2% of all real property tax revenues, including penalties and interest collected by Hawaii County each year.
The public may submit suggestion forms to the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources
Preservation Commission (PONC). PONC suggestion forms may be found on-line at:
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?startid=13770&dbid=l 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
the Mayor each year by December 31s. Annual Reports to the Mayor may be found on-line at:
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?startid=13770&dbid=l
3. Once a property is ranked on the list, a member of the Hawaii 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 Hawaii, 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 Hawaii County Charter stipulates what lands may be purchased with these
funds: (see excerpt from section below)
1
(a) Monies in this fund shall be used solely to:
(1) Purchase or otherwise acquire lands or property entitlements in the County of Hawai `i
for public outdoor recreation and education, including:
(A) Access to beaches and mountains;
(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:
hllp:Hrecords.co.hawaii.hi.us/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=65627&dbid=l This report shows that the County
of Hawaii has spent $36,823,352 to obtain land in Hawaii County for public use. $27,389,268 was used from
the FUND; $7,434,083 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 2018.
