Aloha Director Kern and Members of the Planning Commissions, Thank you in advance for your time and consideration with respect to Bill 120-22. After reviewing some of the commentary by the departments prior to your hearing of these bills, I have compiled some recommended amendments and discussion points to provide greater clarity to the bill's intentions and to address some of the department level concerns. The first section covers changes that are substantive in nature and may affect the interpretation of some parts of the bill. The second section includes amendments that are just editorial and do not significantly alter the intent or purpose of the bill. Finally, the third section includes discussion points that remain unresolved. These areas of the bill were left vague with the intent that the commissions could provide guidance as to how they should best be worded. I request that when you consider the bill language you also consider these proposed amendments as part of your recommendation. Thank you again for your time and I look forward to your recommendations, Heather Kimball CC: Christian Kay, Hawai'i County Planner Jon Henricks, Hawaii County Clerk
