JULY 8, 004
Chair Arakaki and Members of the Mawail County Council:
I am Paul Oshiro, submitting testimony nn behalf of Verizon Hawaii on Bill 275,
"AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 (GENERAL WELFARE) OF THE HAWAII
COUNTY CODE, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO STREET ADDRESSING ANd
NAMING.'" This bill establishes a street addroising and naming system for Hawaii
County. Verizon Hawaii supports this bill.
Currently, there are many residents anti some businesses in Hawall County that
are withogt street addresses. This hinders the effectiveness of the County's E911
system for these residents and businesses and makes it more difficult to bcate
customers for telephone service installations and service.
This bill will establish a uniform and systematic procedure for the assignment of
addresses throughout the County of Hawaii, In addition to enhancing the location of
individuals in cases of emergency, this bill shogld also expedite postal, commercial
delivery, and utility service. We also believe that the time period provided for In this bill
for new aiid existing structures to conform to these street addressing requirements is
fair and reasonable.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit testimony on this matter.
