IWASHITA: And I just wanted to clarify with you that there’s a Federal law, Congress passed a law that says that we as a local county body cannot consider at all anything that’s regulated by the FCC. In other words, the level of the signal, the power, and all of that, and whatever effects it may or may not have cannot be part of our decision-making process. So I just want to make it clear, right, with everyone here that, you know, that this body or I cannot, and the law says that, you know, if whatever T-Mobile is proposing is within the FCC standards that that’s it, we cannot consider any alleged or unknown health effects, ill effects, -. NOMURA: Okay. IWASHTIA: Or whatever, as part of our deliberation. We do however consider what the community wants -. NOMURA: And the zoning. IWASHITA: So that’s why I asked you all the questions about your neighbors. NOMURA: That’s fine. IWASHITA: Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. WATANABE: Okay. Do we have any further -? Doesn’t look like it, so thank you for your testimony. You all may be seated. With that, maybe we can call up the applicant, T-Mobile, and their representatives. And so for formality, let me swear you in, yeah. Would you raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? TERAZONO: I do. CHAN: I do. KAWABATA: I do. WATANABE: Yeah, okay, great. And then can we go right down the line as far as name and address for the record; and then you all may begin your testimony. TERAZONO: Okay. My name is Troy Terazono, RF engineer at T-Mobile; and my home address is 95-1210 Moea Street. It’s in Mililani, Hawaii 96789. WATANABE: Okay, thank you.
