<br />From:Akuakea <br />To:LPCtestimony <br />Subject:Written testimony for Thursday meeting <br />Date:Monday, September 16, 2024 2:17:14 PM <br />I have a lot to say about this topic in general and have watched with great concern the <br />proliferation of towers by churches and schools and municipal area where their harm is <br />significant. It well know that cells are affected at much much lower levels than what the FCC <br />stares for tower output and their harm has likewise been well documented, even in hawaii. <br />France will not allow towers near resedential areas but we put them near our children and <br />hospitals! <br />I agree with the comments below and affirm that there must be a process to study and mitigate <br />real harm being done by our cell infrastructure. <br />oppose Item #4 because I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed <br />telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you. The new <br />ordinance proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the telecommunications industry <br />with not enough protections for our community. <br />It gives almost total power to Planning with no other agencies or experts involved! It rushes <br />the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to protect us against 5G small cells! <br />It allows towers at schools and day care centers! <br />Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable <br />requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare needs of the <br />people and the needs of the tech industry. <br />Sincerely <br />Kevin Hill <br />
