A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A, KAUAI

The purpose of this Bill is to amend Chapter 5A of the Kaua`i County
Code 1987, as amended, relating to Real Property Taxes, by adding a new tax
classification entitled "Agronomics," which shall include properties that use their
land primarily for science, research, and development of crops that do not directly
gain monetary profit from the ultimate consumer. This Bill further amends the
definition of "agricultural use" by removing "horticulture" and excludes lands that
are used primarily for the research and development of crops or parent seed
production that do not directly gain monetary profit from the ultimate consumer. In
addition to these amendments, the Director of Finance will be required to submit
annual reports involving all agricultural dedicated properties to the Mayor and the
County Council.
All interested persons who wish to present their comments may do so at the
public hearing. Written testimony prior to the hearing would be appreciated.
Copies of the proposed Bill are available at the Office of the County Clerk, Council
