To: Charter Commission
Subject: 2 % Fund
Aloha Charter Commissioners,
Please do not recommend reducing the 2% Open Space Fund. Being from North Kohala we have
been diligently working with PONC to acquire and preserve important cultural lands in the North
Kohala District and have been successful. We have more lands being recommended that can be
acquired using the funds but for some reason the Mayor has been slow in following the
recommendations of PONC to use the funds which resulted in the current accumulation. So now,
reducing the 2% to help his budget is not what the people want. He would do better in not hiring
'contractors' at $10,000 a month salaries doing dubious research.
Aloha e,
Joe Carvalho
Halaula, North Kohala
