No. 223, <br /> reports as follows: <br /> Communication No. 223 from Mayor William P. Kenoi, dated May 24, 2011, requests <br /> confirmation of the appointment of Thomas Randle to the County of Hawai`i Environmental <br /> Management Commission. He is not affiliated with any political party. If confirmed he would <br /> replace Steven Pavao, whose term expired on December 31, 2010 and serve a term to expire on <br /> December 31, 2015. <br /> Thomas Randle, of Council District 2 is a 26 year resident of Hawai`i. From 1966 to 2005, he <br /> was employed as an engineering manager with the U.S. Department of Defense (Navy). <br /> Thomas Randle stated that he felt a need to contribute his knowledge to the County and State of <br /> Hawai`i. Councilmember Onishi asked him what he thought of waste to energy facilities for this <br /> county. Thomas Randle responded that he was not familiar with the specifics of these facilities. <br /> He was not opposed to them in general, but wanted more information. On the subject of landfills <br /> Mr. Randle thought there were many other smarter options; however he definitely did not want <br /> our solid waste shipped to the mainland. <br /> The nominee is not required to be present at final confirmation before the full Council. <br /> EMC Rept.
