k wu with dismay ttutt I kamad last weelt of the preWNttery sgtprowl of the emoting ban in bare. WAik I coo eopport such
a ban in atsu hagttatxad by hmilks and in areas whets food i< ptspatsd std eatsaq I implore you to reoaneida~ htcludhtg
ban.
I have waebsd k and owtrd rutatrrana and bars in War Hawaii for two decades acrd wive to follow the law, while a[faidng
• frkodly agnoaphens for my cuetomen. Cutttntly. misty of my cwtoarn are stnoloers and a pumbar absdy haw told rno
dry wiU got copdmr to frequent my busipsss if a ban is inedwted. I don't wish to lase any customers, nor do I wept b haw
m roll them they may net anpge ie othawisa legal behavlar. I apt alto conoarned about the atilomere who will asp ounids
to emote. T1~e 13-fog provision would put fhear i» the taiddls of the parting lot or out into the street. If one were struolc by a
vabiek, would I M !labia? While 1 cap adequately monitor the iuteeior of my bar for problems strc6 u ~g m drag
usdsaks, I have ao control over what happens outside. Afro. several of my employee rntote. I feet 1 will bse them K the
ban gap inso effect.
I strongly urge you to amend the teteasun: to exclude ban of u the very kart give sash bar/aighclub owner the cboia to go
smolttttraa. Ppitaps you should look at tbs kw being considered in Connecticut It exempts pdvste cobs, tobsoco ban, std
asraWisbmnp that nerve alwbol optdoors.
6ntorclpg sacb a boa also u as sssa of contxm. l urge you to delay a final vote until you have famplated a method of
sntotoament that b workable, fair and equitable for eaoA and every esubliehmsnt oa ties island. How ere yon gating m do that
without it cpting nxpayen lilts ma and my sssighbon9 I swum you we would tether see our money and the caroty staff
wonting to Ax .ucn problems u katllc congasdon in Wsst Hawsii and righting ice ors rmd iu aocomptmying sock! itnpaco.
I am wtidry to the tlu+ea of you becwse 1 believe you Mve demoeutnted a better understanding of this impact to small
btssieasns dlan gems of your colkyua gad can s« beyond the tuumony of teen-sgen, many of whom canna yet voN for
you, have rwt held a job and an got yet sUgible to even frequent ben.
Chainnm Arakaki. I coatttreod you for eacognizing individual alta,id have the right to ut the colas io their own ofRca.
Aad you aro coerect is your aseasemertt of economic haedship, How many establlshmmta will M forced out of bnsioas iI
they gee bvkd even err Ane1
Chwg, You will serve the small business owners in your district well by iaoodtrcing the amontlntatt Oiviptt
wch bsr the choice would be auough.
Councilwoman Lsithead-Todd. while you esy you are pro-bnsine:s, your bill may well force bwipeesee to cto9e gad Jobe to
be log. Ale, you call tide a wotYplce safety issue. What is salt about uklag bar patrons to please step outside and move 16
fiat away? As for people taking the Aral Job they are offend, would that not be resolved by giving ban the choke. Thou
woekae who peeler a smoke-hss soviroesnteoc could apply at dtase establishments and those who smote or ero not bothered
torrid do the same.
tJltimstely, I fee! this is nos .n ierne for county government to decide, but because we ate this far hN0 the ptocut3 can only
urge one of you to iatendux sn amendment exempting ban std nightclubs. n c.~
