March 12, 2018 <br />Page 2 <br />This new provision seems to constitute 'one step forward and one step back." <br />Under current law any invasive species identified by the council for control or <br />eradication and on private property can be dealt with. Under SD 2, the (perhaps) <br />unintended consequence would be to take away the ability to deal with species found <br />on private property, unless they are listed as "priority." I'm not sure what species would <br />be identified for control or eradication and not be a priority, but under SD 2 there would <br />be "priority invasive species,implying that there must be non-priority species as well. <br />We ask that the concept behind SB 2559 be approved, but preferably without <br />limiting its effect to "priority" species. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Harry Kim <br />Mayor, County of Hawaii <br />County ofHawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
