REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> <br /> DATE: June 2, 1998 Re: Comm. No. 854/Res. No. 274-98 <br /> <br /> PLACE: Councilroom <br /> <br /> TIME: 10:45 A.M. <br /> <br /> Chair and Members <br /> <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 274-98, reports as follows: <br /> <br /> Resolution No. 274-98, transmitted by Council Member AI Smith, via Communication No. 854, <br /> <br /> dated May 14, 1998, requests the support of the National Association of Counties' (NACo) <br /> <br /> position opposing federal preemption of local zoning authority over satellite broadcast and <br /> <br /> cellular phone antennas. <br /> <br /> Currently, the Federal Communications Commission and Congress is entertaining a proposal that <br /> <br /> would preempt local zoning authority over the location of both satellite broadcast antennas and <br /> <br /> cellular phone towers. NACo has been in opposition to this proposal and has taken a position <br /> <br /> recognizing that local governments are the closest to the people and, accordingly, are more <br /> <br /> knowledgeable about and accountable for the consequences of land use decisions. NACo further <br /> <br /> believes that local governments aze also sophisticated enough to balance competing interests <br /> <br /> when making their zoning decisions. <br /> <br /> This matter is also being considered as a position of the Hawaii State Association of Counties <br /> (HSAC). <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 2'~4-98 <br /> and recommends its adoption. <br /> Ici <br /> a"' nape ex Respectfully submitted <br /> CHUNG X <br /> LEITHEAD-TODD X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> RAY X ~ <br /> SANTANGELO X <br /> SMITH X <br /> TYLER x AARON S. .CHUM ,CHAIR <br /> YAGONG X FC REPORT NO. 252 <br /> ARAKAK[, E.O.M.
