Pursuant to Section 1(e) of Rule 4 of the Rul--s of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawai'i, this written request is submitted wish my approval that the above-referenced matter be

denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the Committee on

Dear Councilman Chung:
Request your assistance in expediting the bill for an ordinance
amending Chapter 14 of the Hawai'i County Code 1983 (1995
Edition) relating to firework- which was submitted to the
Council for review and action. We need to have this bill acted
upon before November because without this ordinance, we would
not be able to issue any permits and licenses relating to
fireworks.
Upon adoption of this ordinance, we would still have to do the
following so we may provide these services: Write a job
description for the auditor, create a position for the auditor,
create clerk positions for the various districts and train them,
schedule pre-employment physicals for the individuals filling
these positions, print the permits and licenses, and procure all
the necessary supplies.
Please feel free to call me should you have any questions.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
EDWAR B TAY, Fire of ~PNico&y
