Friends of Puna’s Future
PCDP-
“Amend It” Program
You are cordially invited to participate in a community process to Amend the Puna Community Development Plan.
With the Puna Community development Plan (PCDP) having been passed by the Hawaii County Council into law it is important to remember that the plan has it’s flaws and amendments will indeed be needed.
Friends of Puna’s Future is committed to bringing together those who have participated in the PCDP process and those who are now ready to do so. All stake holders, large and small, will be invited to participate. If you are reading this and reside in or own property in Puna District of Hawaii County then you may now consider yourself invited.
A series of public meetings have been scheduled with the last being:
Pahoa Village
CommunityCenter
November 8th 2-5 pm.
These first meetings will be informational and organizational. It is FoPF’s intention to form up to four new working committees (WC) modeled upon the four sections of the PCDP FInal Draft. These are:
Malama I Ka Aina
Managing Growth
Transportation
Implementation
FoPF expects this effort to take place over several months extending into 2009. All participants of this effort will be asked to become Participating Members of Friends of Puna’s Future. No dues or fees are required. We look forward to the process of meeting more of our neighbors and engaging in a friendly community building effort.
With a new county council seating this winter there will be pressure to remove or water down the PCDP.
For more information email: FoPF <friendsofpuna1@mail.com>or call: 965-9779
Assume the best and ask questions.

With the election now out of the way the implementation of the Puna CDP as well as Kona, Kohala and Kau will be greatly affected by new players on council and in county departments. Emily Naeole, who has voted very erratically on the CDP, retains her seat. The stances of our new council members are not yet understood.
Community participation is what created the PCDP and is exactly what will bring it to implementation.
I do hope you attend this meeting.

My partner and I attended the last meting, held in Volcano. Very interesting and informative! Met some good folks of the local community there, too. IMHO it it will be well worth the time to attend this upcoming meeting if a person has not already attended one of these -and maybe even if a person already has attended one, too.

I did not want to make a scene, I figured if I said anything during the meeting it might have got loud... [

and as far as blending in, I am not sure if that is a complement or not.... [
