Members of the Hawaii County Council <br /> Page 2 <br /> July 12, 2012 <br /> national standards and are coordinated with both state and federal agencies. Since <br /> effective plans are already in place,there is no need for a new plan. <br /> As to the bill itself,the requirement of the August 1,2012 date obviously is self-defeating <br /> as it is would be impossible to get input from all these agencies and the public in any <br /> meaningful way by August 1, 2012. It is clear that this bill was intended to require the <br /> administration to immediately ask for the 90-day extension,thus pointing out that this <br /> was a poorly drafted bill. <br /> This new subsection(b) is also inconsistent with subsection(a) as it makes no mention of <br /> coordination and integration with the plans and programs of the State and Federal <br /> governments. It does not make sense to have separate evacuation plans for different <br /> facilities in specific locations as opposed to a standard set of practices that each agency is <br /> familiar with. <br /> For these reasons, I am disapproving Bill 257,Draft 2. <br /> Aloha, <br /> William P. Kenoi <br /> MAYOR <br /> Enclosure <br /> County of Hawai'i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
