PRESERVING PONC FUNDING FOR CONSERVING SPECIAL LANDS is a
campaign of Brenda Ford, a former County Council member who represented Kaʻū.
She and advocate Debbie Hecht shepherded the creation of the Public Access Open
Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission and its Two Percent Fund
years ago. A committee of the County Charter Commission is considering reducing
property taxes used by PONC purchase lands from 2 percent to .5 percent. PONC
and other funding was used to acquire specials places in Kaʻū and around the
island.
In Kaʻū, 786 acres at Kāwā, 2,200 acres
at Waikapuna in negotiation, 3,125.95 acres on the Kahuku
Coast

She noted that Mayor Harry Kim told the
Charter Commission that he favors reducing the percentage to .5 percent. Ford
contended that the mayor "wants to control the land purchases
himself." She also claimed that Kim "wants to sell some of the land
to the State or Feds or private persons to own and maintain. He claims that Hawaii
County
According
to Ford, "These parcels do NOT need to be maintained by the County, have
never been maintained by the County, and do not need improvement by the County.
The Maintenance fund is designed to attract local 'stewards' to do this process
for free but the maintenance fund will pay for materials, if needed; such as,
rock, gravel, lumber if a building already exists."
She suggested that the PONC commission
take the stewardship function now administered by county
Parks
She said the mayor would like to use the
money saved by reducing PONC to hire new police officers. Asked Ford,
"Where were these police officers in the 'good times' or before the PONC
existed. NADA!"

Hawaiʻi County Council authorized the purchase of Kahua ʻOlohu.

She
said that the "initial reason that the PONC legislation was written and
passed was that treasured lands were being purchased by developers and the
public was excluded from their legal right to go to the shorelines or mountains
which is owned by the residents of Hawaii and includes the general public
(visitors). The PONC fund has purchased 14 parcels with 166 more to investigate
and hopefully purchase. If we do not purchase these lands now, they will be
sold to speculators for development and the public will be excluded. If you
have ever gone to the Mauna Kea Hotel to visit that gorgeous beach, the hotel
only has about 20-22 parking spaces for the public and then the hotel refuses
to allow any one else into the area reserving the beautiful beach for their
guests (1965).
"Additionally, many parcels are
owned today by private owners who may not want to sell the land. The county
could do an 'eminent domain' lawsuit but the Councils on which I served
recommended not to do this at that time since it requires an expensive lawsuit,
and we did not want to encourage such financial stress. Perhaps in the future
such parcels of land may be available which is why we need to continue funding
the PONC & Maintenance funds, or a large, expensive parcel will need a
larger sum of money to buy it.
"Between 39% and 43% of the money
for land purchases are funded by private donations (trusts), the State, or
Feds. The PONC was designed to attract non-County funds, and it has been very
successful. Land which can attract matching funds has always been the priority
for purchase. Additionally, the PONC Commissioners are a worthy group of people
who guard those funds zealously and ably. They are to be commended for their
past, present, and future work in acquiring treasured lands. I continue to hope
that they will forever understand the need to purchase our treasured
lands."

Ford
encouraged those who support retaining PONC's 2 percent attend the
next meeting of the Charter Commission on Nov. 9 at 1:30 p.m. at Kona Council
Chambers in West Hawaiʻi Civic Center "and testify against this violation
of the people's will."
"If this terrible Charter
Commission continues to promote the Mayor's agenda and place this issue on the
ballot in 2020, please, please, please vote 'No' to save our precious
lands," she concluded.
Michelle Galimba, Kaʻū's Charter Commission member, said, "I am a huge fan of the PONC fund, but I also understand the county's fiscal challenges. I hope that many people will testify either in writing or in person about this issue."
