<br /> Discussion from your Committee members was diverse. Questions were raised regarding the <br /> <br /> precise location of the beaches. These questions were answered after lengthy perusal of maps <br /> <br /> and discussion with Pat Engelhard, Director of the Pazks and Recreation Department. Captain <br /> <br /> Kenneth Vieira appeared, representing the Hawaii County Police Department. He informed <br /> <br /> your Committee that renaming the beach parks would shorten response time by the police and <br /> fire departments, and would reduce confusion as to the location of incidents that aze reported to <br /> <br /> the two departments. <br /> <br /> A Powerpoint presentation on the history and renaming of the beaches was made by two <br /> students, Halena Kapuni-Reynolds and Nathan Evans. <br /> A motion was made to take the matter to public hearing, but the motion was defeated by a <br /> seven to one vote. Committee member Bob Jacobson was the only one to vote in favor of the <br /> motion. Committee Chair Ikeda was absent due to a family emergency. <br /> Committee members Higa, Pilago and Naeole commended Halena Kapuni-Reynolds and <br /> Nathan Evans, for their research and preparation of their Powerpoint presentation. <br /> Your Committee on Public Safety and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose and <br /> intent of Bill No. 204 and recommends it pass first reading. <br /> awm <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> FORD X <br /> RIGA x COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY <br /> HOFFMANN X AND PARKS AND RECREATION <br /> IKEDA X <br /> JACOBSON X <br /> NAEOLE X <br /> PILAGO x J YOSHIMOTO, VICE CHAIR <br /> YAGONG X PSPRC REPORT NO. 9 <br /> YOSHIMOTO X ADOPTED: DEC ~ 9 ZOO7 <br /> <br />
