Great Questions on 2 Managers for County of Hawaii

I'm unclear: how would this east side/west side manager work? Each side of the island would hire a city Manager. The Mayor would be a figure head like he is now. (never goes to council meetings...) Each side CM would be hired by the Corp. Council. the job description will have goals and standards that must be met. These positions will be like the private sector. Reviews and will not change with every administration every 2 years. If they are not doing the job they will be counciled and terminated. Just like the private sector. By having a CM that is NOT tied to elections we can hire the most qualified and maintain what we start.
-What would constitute east side, what would constitute west side?
A finanical breakdown is being done to verify the income and expenses of the current administration. We will make it as even as possible.
-Has there been consideration of North, East, South, West, to alloweverybody individual jurisdiction? Or by district? This I don't know. More research is needed.
Is it true that mosttax revenue comes from South Kohala? No a majority of tax revenue comes from Hualalai/ Kuiko which is in North Kona district.
One wonders where they'd want to go,to the East or to the West...or would districts be given choices? This is up to the people. If they want better controls of their own neighborhoods then they will need to participate.
-How is it envisioned these managers would be put in place: appointed byMayor, by County Council, or....? You say they'd be given a budget basedon taxes collected and current County positions...not clear on what thatmeans, "their current County position...?" After reviewing the 75 pages of

-What would the thinking be regarding islandwide issues, how would they behandled, whether it is roads that go between districts, or say anemergency that devastates a part of the island. Example, the Waikoloa fire: would the manager there have to negotiate bringing in fire fromanother district, or would there be some provision? The exact same as the mainland when you have city or Counties that have to negotiate these rules and standards prior to the split.Or would eachdistrict be strictly on their own for dealing with an immediate emergencyand then managing and repairing the aftermath? Yes each district will have their own fire, police, etc... If another company is assisting (as on the mainland) they are billed for the services used.

Yes folks, there are a million and one questions that need to be addressed. Please send us your thoughts and experiences so we don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Great Work guys!
