One of the reasons the zoo lost accreditation was the turnover in zoo directors.  Now we have yet another director who is leaving his post within about a year of service.  

You might want to take a look at the report from the commission’s permitted interaction group that looked at the issue of accreditation and the mandatory funding.  They actually recommended not putting the question on the ballot.  Here’s their report - http://www.honoluluchartercommission.org/images/meetings/4-29-16/Report_of_the_Permitted_Interaction_Group_-_Funding_Honolulu_Zoo.pdf.
