The ordinance, as written (Hawaiʻi County) — Duration of hearing; determination
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Hawaiʻi County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
The hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within thirty days, except that if the council finds that the complexity of the proposed district or the need for public participation requires additional time, the hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed six months. The council may modify the resolution of intention by eliminating proposed facilities, or by changing the rate or method of apportionment of the proposed special tax so as to reduce the maximum special tax for all or a portion of the property within the proposed district, or by removing territory from the proposed district. At the conclusion of the hearing, the council may abandon the proposed establishment of the community facilities district or may, after considering all protests and such other relevant factors (such as the County general plan) as it shall deem appropriate, subject to section 32-27, determine to proceed with establishing the district.
