Planning Director, youÓre in <br />charge. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: What we have before us are County Council initiated amendments to the <br />Puna Community Development Plan as incorporated in Bill 194. Bill 194 was introduced by the <br />County Council, and then transmitted to me, and I then transmitted it to the Puna Community <br />Development Action Committee. The Action Committee then submitt <br />I agreed in part and disagreed in part with their recommendations; and that is included in my <br />letter to you. And one of the issues was whether they could make substantive amendments to <br />Bill 194. And I felt that there were a number of things that they raised that would have to be <br />brought in as separate amendments, which we are in the process of drafting. <br />So what IÓm asking for is that you basically submit a recommendation to the County Council that <br />they approve Bill 194 with the various recommendations I made. <br />through them would be easier. I tried to do my recommendation to respond to the advice given <br />by the Action Committee. <br />1 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
