PCHSW-9 Page 2 December 19, 2023 <br /> Committee Member Holeka Inaba questioned the sharing of information among relevant County <br /> agencies. Deputy Corporation Counsel Keyra Wong clarified that a formal request would have to be <br /> made with a legitimate reason included. Member Inaba also wanted to make certain that the language <br /> and intent within the bill is not outside the scope of the title of the bill. Deputy Corporation Counsel <br /> Cody Frenz said that she believes there is an appropriate tie-in within the title of the bill. <br /> Member Cindy Evans questioned language surrounding making efforts to notify property owners. <br /> Ms. Wong stated that they included the language "reasonable efforts" to take into account that <br /> sometimes contact isn't possible. <br /> Member Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder questioned Corporation Counsel regarding his understanding that <br /> whenever data collection occurs there is usually an option to opt out. Ms. Wong said that as it is written, <br /> it does not allow for anyone to opt out and that there is nothing that prohibits the County from requiring <br /> or sharing this information. Member Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder had questions around the definitions of <br /> agencies in regards to who can request this information. Member Kierkiewicz said that she will clarify <br /> the definition around agencies. <br /> Committee Member Michelle Galimba wanted further clarification around the protection of personal <br /> information and asked what additional resources Real Property Tax needed to implement this. <br /> Ms. Miura said that they already have software that tracks this information, and they would need an <br /> additional screen sweep that their current vendor could do to help import this information. She said the <br /> only agencies that their department provides information that they already have is to Civil Defense, Fire, <br /> and Police Departments, when they provide a written request. <br /> Member Evans was concerned with the definition of"immediate hazards" and that it may be overreach. <br /> Committee Member Jenn Kagiwada mentioned that she appreciated what could be addressed by <br /> including immediate hazards. Member Kagiwada cautioned that we need to manage public expectations <br /> around thinking this is a solution to squatters or enforcing removal of squatters. Member Kierkiewicz <br /> responded by clarifying that this bill allows for information collecting which is important for notifying <br /> property owners about what is occurring on their properties. She said that she will be addressing the <br /> other items that Committee Members mentioned. <br /> Your Policy Committee on Health, Safety, and Well-being, is in accord with the purpose and intent of <br /> Bill 110, and recommends its passage on first reading. <br /> sm <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> EVANS X <br /> GALIMBA x POLICY COMMITTEE ON HEALTH, <br /> INABA x SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING <br /> KAGIWADA X / <br /> KANEALI'I-KLEINFELDER X "l <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X <br /> API <br /> KIMBALL x JENN KAGIWADA, CHAIR <br /> LEE LOY X PCHSW REPORT NO.. 9 <br /> VILLEGAS X ADOPTED: <br />
