Friends of Puna's Future is supporting a number of Charter amendments.
For example:
CA- 15 2% Land Preservation Fund - add it to the Charter and remove it from Council.
CA-18 Four Year Council Terms - In favor only if the Charter language for Recall is loosened to make council members more accountable to the public. CoH currently has the most restrictive recall requirements.
CA-19 Office of Council Services - The council should have separate legal advice than then admin.
CA - 22 Filing of Council Agenda - The close of business should be the cut off time for filing agendas and making them public.
CA- 23 Electronic Notice - Posting on CoH web site in a timely manner as well as posting on an archaic bulletin board.
CA - 25 Community Development Plans and Action Committees embedded in the charter.
CA - 35 Recall of Elected officials. Current requirement is for signatures on petitions of 25% of registered voters - an almost impossible task. Often 25% of registered voters don;t bother to vote. We support 25% of voters in the last election and note that a public signature is very different than a secret ballot.
and others.
