Hugh Y. Ono, P.E. <br /> 1252 Malawaina Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Ph:808-959-1342 E-mail: hono(a,hawaii.rr.com <br /> June 1, 2007 <br /> Chair Pete Hoffman and Members <br /> <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> <br /> 333 Kilauea Avenue <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Testimony: Bi1151 uertainin~ to: Flood Control <br /> We are in agreement that there is need for improvement to <br /> Chapter 27. Past occurrence of Flooding and Damages would <br /> support amendments to address such issues. <br /> <br /> We recommend that we take the necessary time now to best <br /> assure that the amendments are made in the best interest of all <br /> of the citizens of the County of Hawaii. <br /> The purpose of our testimony is to provide input into your <br /> decision making process toward achieving a workable practical <br /> Ordinance. <br /> With that being said, here are the assumptions and basis of my <br /> testimony. <br /> • FEMA Revisions must be adopted by September 2007. <br /> • We submit that the existing code needs to be in <br /> compliance with current FEMA rules and regulations and <br /> that the revisions introduced by the Department of Public <br /> Works should proceed as a minimum. <br /> <br />
