<br /> PWIRC Committee Report <br /> <br /> April 18, 2006 <br /> <br /> Page 2 <br /> During the ensuing discussion, Mr. Jacobson introduced his amendment. Some Committee <br /> members opined that since the amendment is just a suggestion, and as such, carries no weight, it <br /> has no effect on the Resolution itself. The motion was adopted with seven ayes and one no. <br /> There was discussion regarding the priorities of the Department of Public Work versus those of the <br /> Council and of the general public. Mr. Jiro Sumada, Deputy Director of the department agreed <br /> that the department has different priorities than the Council or the general public. Mr. Sumada <br /> cautioned your Committee members to consider "the big picture" and not to focus on small <br /> sections of the island. Mr. Sumada assured your Committee members that his department always <br /> considers the priorities of the Council and the general public, but stated that there are many other <br /> considerations that come into play, such as funding, other traffic concerns, other roads and <br /> intersections to consider, etc., and therefore what the Council and/or the public consider to be high <br /> priorities are not always feasible. <br /> Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations is in accord with the purpose <br /> and intent of Resolution No. 311-06 as amended to Draft 2, and recommends its adoption. <br /> After the vote was called, your Committee recessed at 10:30 a.m., to reconvene after the Public <br /> Safety and Parks and Recreation Committee concluded its meeting. <br /> awm <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> ARAKAKI R <br /> RIGA x COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND <br /> HOFFMANN x INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS <br /> HOLSCHUH R ~ Ed~~ <br /> IKEDA X ~f~~ <br /> ISBELL x DONALD IKEDA, CHAIR <br /> dACOBSON X PWIRC REPORT NO. 44 <br /> PILAGO X <br /> SAFARIK x ADOPTED: MAY O Z 2006 <br /> <br />
