Jerry. I haven't read the full predraft yet. The draft is scheduled, I believe, to be delivered at the Jan. 24th SC (Steering Committee @ Keaau Community Center 5:30 pm).
As far as citizen participation:
1. Take an interest, talk to your neighbors and friends, read up on those areas of concern to yourself and be willing to be open minded and supportive of other groups, neighborhoods and interests.
2. Attend meetings and submit testimony as desired and practical.
3. Communicate with your council representatives directly and as submitted or verbal testimony at council hearings as the PCDP moves forward.
4. Participate in your own HOA group and issues.
5. Consider joining and donating to local groups such as Friends of Puna's Future (FoPF) which is substantially organizing around the PCDP effort. You can contact FoPF by email at FoPF <friendsofpuna1@mail.com> or call me (965-1555).
The biggest message to share with your neighbors is that this is our community plan and our future.... ignore it at your own risk. Local efforts are where the rubber meets the road in politics.....it is possible to have an effect. Each subdivision in Puna may feel they have their own interests but they all share the same obstacles.
