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 2013 please refer to the Summary of 2013 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 island’s resources. In 2012 Hawai‘i 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 Hawai‘i County’s 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. Commission Members Marilyn Nicholson, Chair, District 6, (Term: December 31, 2011 - December 31, 2016) Steven Hirakami, Vice-Chair, District 5, (Term: December 31, 2008 - December 31, 2013) Timothy DeLozier, Commissioner, District 1, (Term: December 31, 2012 - December 31, 2017) Wilma Matsumura, Commissioner, District 2, (Term: December 31, 2009 - December 31, 2014) Searle Grace, Commissioner, District 3, (Term: December 31, 2008 - December 31, 2013) Vacant, District 4 (Term: December 31, 2012 – December 31, 2017) Enock Freire, Commissioner, District 7, (Term: December 31, 2009 - December 31, 2014) Debbie Hecht, Commissioner, District 8, (Term: December 31, 2010 - December 31, 2015) Gail Byrne Baber, Commissioner, District 9, (Term: December 31, 2010 - December 31, 2015) Page 2 Prioritized List The 2013 Prioritized List is as follows: Priority Number Property Name with Tax Map Keys 1.

Grassman Macadamia Nut Farm (3) 9-4-05:08 (Conservation Easement) 15. Manini Beach Park Project (3) 8-2-06:27 & 28 In developing its’ 2013 Prioritized List, the Commission considered properties submitted on the 2013 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. See Appendix 1 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties. Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists and Acquisitions Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from 2006-2012 (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. In addition it may be of interest to note that Kaiholena (Lot F), which was prioritized by the PONC in 2007 and 2009 and resoluted for purchase by the County Council in 2008, was purchased without County funds through an effort led by the Kohala community in partnership with a community based non-profit. The community noted that even though PONC funds were not used, having the parcel ranked and resoluted assisted with securing other funding. Page 3 Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public The Comprehensive List (see Appendix 6) is a sequential listing by tax map key of all properties submitted by the public since 2006. Commission Meetings Commission meetings dates and location for 2013 were: January 14 Kona July 8 Hilo March 11 Hilo September 9 Kona May 13 Kona November 12 Hilo At each of these meetings the Commission welcomed testimony from the public. Interest in the Commissions’ 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. Suggestion Form The Suggestion Form [revised January 14, 2013] (see 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/Weblink8/1/doc/64139/Electronic.aspx The Commission considered properties identified on these forms that were submitted by the public when creating the 2013 Prioritized List. A total of seventeen Suggestion Forms were received from the public between July 1, 2012 and June 28, 2013 (see Appendix 11). Two were not assessed since a resolution authorizing acquisition had already been approved by the Hawai‘i County Council. Assessment Criteria Form The Commission updated the Assessment Criteria Form [revised March 11, 2013] (see Appendix 12). 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 Commission and the public suggest that the County expedite a formal funding process to support community management plans and long term property maintenance.  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 commissioners encourage the County to fill Commission vacancies in a timely manner. Page 4 Next Steps  Continue to schedule six Commission meetings alternating between Kona and Hilo in 2014.  Consider scheduling 2014 meetings with Community Development Plan Steering Committees 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.  Continue to 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 commissioners’ understanding of easements, land trusts and partnerships.  Submit Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor by December 31, 2014.

The purchase was partially funded by a $1,432,088.77 grant from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP) with the balance of $2,558,911.23 paid from the FUND. Acquisition of these properties ensures that this area remains in open space as it contains some of the most intact historic and cultural sites which are also identified in the County General Plan and North Kohala Community Development Plan. There are also traditionally used accesses to the shoreline used by the public for subsistence fishing and shoreline gathering. These parcels are an addition to the adjacent Kaiholena (north parcels) that were already purchased by the County in 2010 leaving one remaining parcel (TMK: (3) 5-8-01:23) to be purchased by the Ala Kahakai Trail Association with approximately $1,449,555.00 in LLCP grant monies and the remainder through private fundraising by the various Kohala community groups. With this acquisition, the County now owns a total of 1031.8197 acres of land purchased with the FUND and received a total of $5,598,838.77 in grant monies by leveraging funds with State and Federal sources. To ensure proper long term management and responsible stewardship of these lands, the County continues to work with members of the public, community groups and/or government agencies so that these lands are kept in open space and preserved in perpetuity for generations to come.

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 Preservation Commission (PONC). PONC suggestion forms may be found on-line at: http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/1/doc/64139/Electronic.aspx 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 31st. Annual Reports to the Mayor may be found on-line at: http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/Weblink8/Browse.aspx?dbid=1&startid=13770 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; 2 (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 $22,446,480 to obtain land in Hawai‘i County for public use. $16,847,641 was used from the FUND; the remaining amount was obtained from matching funds (USF&W & LLCP). The Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund: Procedures are currently being developed by Parks & Recreation to allow community groups to apply for funds to assist the County with stewardship and maintenance of properties purchased with the FUND.
