http://kauaiworld.com/articles/2008/09/05/news/news02.txt Council defers tax bill again Workshop on proposed legislation slated Sept. 16 by Nathan Eagle - THE GARDEN ISLAND The Kaua‘i County Council on Wednesday unanimously deferred legislation that would overhaul the real property tax system to allow more time for amendments and public input. The county Real Property Assessment Division had initially given the council an Aug. 27 deadline to act on the proposed reform package submitted in May by the late Mayor Bryan Baptiste’s administration. But the Committee of the Whole on Aug. 20 deferred Bill 2274. Despite another deferral this week, council members said yesterday that if they pass the bill out of committee on Sept. 17 and give final approval on the council floor Sept. 24 that the new tax rates could still be implemented in time to affect next year’s tax roll. “It’s still a possibility,” Councilman Tim Bynum said. The council also unanimously voted to schedule a workshop on the proposed legislation at 9 a.m., Sept. 16, in Council Chambers at the Historic County Building. “We’re attempting to get a few other people to participate in some of the discussion points,” Council Chair Jay Furfaro said. The council is looking to invite an economist and representatives from the visitor, farming and banking industries among others to shed light on current trends and the potential impact of the bill, he said.

IMPORTANT Organic Farming Meeting – Malama Kaua’i – Wednesday Aloha friends, I am writing to you in hopes that some of you will be willing to take action on an important development in Kilauea! The county of Kauai owns 75 acres in Kilauea (across from the Kauai Christian Academy) and has wonderful plans to turn it into a agricultural park. This means that, in about 2-3 years, people wanting to farm but do not have the land will be able to lease a plot from the county to do so. They are just starting to define the parameters of the project and at this point do not know if they will designate it as an organic, conventional or a hybrid farming area. There is a meeting scheduled Wednesday, September 17th at 2:00 at Malama Kauai (the old Guava Kai plantation). Beth Tokioka, the director of economic development, will be there. She will be discussing the project and asking for feedback from the community. This call to action isn't just for farmers, this will affect the entire community! My husband and I are organic farmers and if the Ag park goes conventional the trade winds will blow their chemicals over to many organic farms in that area. Plus the school is directly across from the acreage which means the kids, and faculty will be bombarded almost daily with these chemicals! I can not stress enough how important it is to have the community speak up for organic farming. Please come to the meeting if you can, if not please contact Beth directly at 241-4949. The more they here from the community that we want it to be organic the better chance we have! Start: 2:00 pm
