From: Ikaika Kincaid, PE <ikincaid@consoreng.com> <br />Sent: Wednesday, June 5, 2019 11:08 AM <br />To: Charter Commission <br />Subject: CA -26, Draft 3 for Second and Final Reading; Proposal to amend Section 6-2.2 <br />Hawaii County Charter Commission <br />June 7, 2019 <br />In regards to: <br />CA -26, Draft 3 for Second and Final Reading; Proposal to amend Section 6-2.2, relating to Qualifications for the Director <br />of the Department of Public Works, to remove the requirement that the Director be a registered professional engineer, <br />add that the five years of administrative experience to be eligible for appointment as Director be related to the powers, <br />duties, and functions of the Department of Public Works, and add the requirement that candidates possess a bachelor's <br />degree in a field related to the powers, duties, and functions of the Department of Public Works; as submitted by Chair <br />Adams. <br />Honorable Members of the Hawaii County Charter Commission: <br />I would like to submit written testimony against the proposed CA -26 Draft for amending the County of Hawaii Charter. A <br />registered engineer (PE) is ethically obligated to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, and must always <br />put the public's interest before all others, including personal, company, organizational, or political. This in my opinion, is <br />the lens a public works director should be looking through when evaluating the critical issues that affect our community <br />well-being. With the requirement for licensure waived, we risk other factors influencing the decision-making process at <br />high levels. <br />Thank you very much for your time and your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ikaika Kincaid <br />Ikaika Kincaid, PE <br />�„ �iiii1N011 II m „;tlp �� id'ii,IkNIlrTer <br />. rise ill aeerr.
