on the county council level, when the planning director originally introduced <br />his version of an ordinance relating to the same topic to Windward Planning. <br />As I testified at that time, I hold that Bill 194 is a superior legislation as it <br />accordingly reflects the will of the residents of this island over the desires of <br />telecommunications and development industries. <br />The Big Island is in great need to a bill of this sort to protect the beauty, <br />safety, well-being, and property values of all who live on or frequent our <br />islands. <br />Bill 194 was in the works for about a year. It has been crafted with careful <br />consideration taken from a wide-range of community members and groups. <br />Even the planning director was approached for collaboration, but chose to <br />take another path. Our group was pleased to offer our expertise where <br />appropriate. <br />I have looked further into a side-by-side analysis of the two bills and will <br />attach the information to this email, which I found to be very helpful. I <br />believe that you will also be receiving this document from CM Evan’s office. <br />Mahalo for your time and consideration, <br />Naomi Melamed <br />Safe Tech Hawaii, Hawaii Island Leader <br />
