Communication No. 230.03 is from Planning Director Virginia Goldstein, dated July 22, 1998, informing that they have reviewed Bill 68, Draft 2, and have no comments or objections to the proposed amendments. Communication No. 230.01 is from Police Chief Wayne Carvalha dated June 30, 1998, which says "the amendment will clarify the ]aw and furthers the promotion of public safety." At today's meeting, Council Member Arakaki proposed an amendment to the bill which enables the Police and the Department of Public Works to inform the Council of streets that are in such poor condition that they may not be safely traveled by police. Your Committee agreed with the concept proposed. In addition, Your Committee agreed to clarifying language proposed by Council Member Ray stating that streets in agricultural zoned areas would not necessarily be exempt from the Traffic Cade. This amendment recognized the numerous agricultural-zoned subdivisions that Act 173 was meant to assist and that the roads in these areas are used primarily by residential uses. Your Committee is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 68, as amended to Draft 3, and recommends its passage on first reading. / . r it la I ; k .
