The Bill's general concept has substantial potential and should be considered on its <br /> merits. Additional further-indepth study will be needed to plan for this comprehensive program <br /> so at this time, I have to offer a negative recommendation on the Bill as written. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> /60ktt <br /> Dora Beck, P.E. <br /> ACTING DIRECTOR <br /> cc: William Kenoi, Mayor <br /> Bill Takaba, Managing Director <br /> Comm.
